He showed me pages of original art from Ruins, a new work about Oaxaca. Most recently I saw him at the MoCCA Fest last April in NYC. He joked he was living proof, and that his memory lapses were not the result of recreational drug use, but paint fumes. He warned students that even wearing a protective painter’s mask one loses brain cells to the technique. He called it “poor man’s airbrush” – using cans of black spray paint with paper and tape friskets. He shared his unique illustration technique for adding tone to black and white images. We were thrilled he took the Bieber bus to Kutztown for the modest fee we offer guests artists. I invited him to talk to Kutztown University illustration students. In 2007, I was honored when he contacted me to identify Mexican graffiti for his graphic memoir, Diario de Oaxaca: A Sketchbook Journal of Two years in Mexico. Peter Kuper adding a watercolor sketch to his signature for a fan at MOCCA. Ruins succeeds on so many levels: great graphic art remarkable storytelling, and stunning production values. I’d call it his masterpiece, but Kuper has already proved himself a master. Peter Kuper’s Ruins is a magnificent graphic novel, the best I’ve read this year. Celeste has more to worry about than a secret romance with a hot guy from the wrong side of town. Psychic predictions, generations old secrets, a town divided, and the possibility of falling in love with a hot and heroic werewolf are the perfect formula for what happens… Brandon may be Celeste’s hero, or he may be the most dangerous creature she could encounter in the woods of Legend’s Run. But she can’t deny her attraction or the strong pull he has on her. Her best friends may never forgive her if she gives up her perfect boyfriend, Nash, for Brandon, who’s from the wrong side of town. But when, after an unnerving visit with a psychic, she encounters a pack of wolves and gorgeous, enigmatic Brandon, she must discover whether his transformation is more than legend or just a trick of the shadows in the moonlight. She’s used to everything in the small town until Brandon Maddox moves to Legend’s Run and Celeste finds herself immediately drawn to the handsome new student. Celeste Parker is used to hearing scary stories about werewolves Legend’s Run is famous for them. It focuses on a band of criminals led by the cunning Kaz Brekker as they pull off a grand heist. Six of Crows is the first book in Bardugo’s spinoff duology. It isn’t a particularly controversial method, by any means, but for those unfamiliar with the books, I am here to be your Grisha guide.Īnd with that: Start with Six of Crows. But you know how some Star Wars fans recommend a non-intuitive order to watch the movies? I’m about to suggest a similar strategy for diving into the Grishaverse books. Or even the first trilogy.īut wait, you might ask yourself, is that not the book that the show is based on? Isn’t it the first book of the series? The one that sets the stage for everything else? The one that introduces the Grisha, Sun Summoner Alina Starkov, and the swath of sentient darkness that tears Ravka in half? Isn’t season 2 going to adapt the second book? Here’s some unsolicited advice: Don’t start with the first novel, Shadow and Bone. If you’re super excited about season 2 of Netflix’s Shadow and Bone series and you’ve never read the Leigh Bardugo books it’s based on, you might be thinking about trying the main trilogy the show adapts. In this, his final book, Alex Haley has created a truly multicultural family saga, the capstone to one of the great, classic American stories. His father was a professor of agriculture. His adolescent attraction to the beautiful and strong-willed slave named Easter blossoms into a powerful and lasting love, and from their passionate union comes Queen - the heroine of the tale, Alex Haley's grandmother. Alexander Murray Palmer Haley was born August 11, 1921, in Ithaca, New York to Simon Haley and Bertha George Palmer. James's son Jass Jackson inherits the plantation just as the genteel, well-ordered antebellum world begins to crumble. He establishes his grand plantation, The Forks of Cypress, in Alabama, while Andrew ascends to the White House, and the rumblings that will explode into the Civil War gather force. It quickly became a best-seller and was later converted to a miniseries. The two men become business partners, and James Jackson makes his fortune. Roots: The Saga of an American Family is a novel by Alex Haley published in 1976. From there we travel with Jackson to Nashville, where he meets Andrew Jackson, the future president of the United States. The story begins in Ireland, where Haley's white great-great-grandfather, James Jackson, Sr., is born. Once again, this is a personal saga, but one played out against the broad canvas of American history. Lovers of sweeping generational epics will find much to rejoice in here. "Now, from the author of Roots, comes Alex Haley's Queen - the saga of his father's family. "Arthur" creator Marc Brown has contributed content for promoting mental health awareness. They said, ‘As we move through, this is what kids are really going to need’” in a world changed forever. So, we asked the advisors, ‘What are the things we should be paying attention to?’ and it was almost unanimous they were focused on mental health anxiety. “At the beginning of the pandemic, we were about reaching kids and helping to support the the immediate kind of anxiety, then we were really focused on how to support basic skills because so many kids were getting their learning from screens through schools. “ have a conversation about what we needed to be focused on during this time,” said of the impetus for holding the advisor meetings. In 2021, her team convened a panel of external advisors in an effort to have a discussion about how best they could help navigate the virus-mandated quarantine and its resulting social isolation. As DeWitt explained, a big driver in honing in on mental health was, of course, the pandemic. For this month, the focus is on more abstract skills as teaching children to begin learning about themselves as people. Through programs such as Sesame Street, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, and many more, DeWitt and her team have sought not only to engender proper socio-emotional development in children, but also expose them to arts like music and pre-academic concepts such as colors, shapes, and the alphabet.

In the Free States, homosexuality and gay marriage are perfectly ordinary, but Black people are not welcomed as citizens-the Free States are white, and committed only to giving Black people safe passage to the North and the West. There the prominent Bingham family runs the primary bank of the Free States, one of a patchwork of nations (including the southern Colonies, the Union, the West, and the North) sustaining an uneasy coexistence after the War of Rebellion. The first book, “Washington Square,” takes place in the early 1890s in a New York City that the reader quickly realizes is off-kilter. To Paradise, which is in fact three linked novels bound in a single volume, is constructed something like a soma cube, with plots that interlock but whose unifying logic and mechanisms are designed to baffle. W hile reading To Paradise, Hanya Yanagihara’s gigantic new novel, I felt the impulse a few times to put down the book and make a chart-the kind of thing you see TV detectives assemble on their living-room walls when they have a web of evidence but no clear theory of the case. I’m not saying they’re slumming, and I’m sure they wouldn’t say so either, but it seems that sometimes that’s the only way to get a horror book out there and get some attention is to have it written by a literary writer, who, lover of the genre though he or she might be, is taking a distinctly deconstructivist/literary/ironic take on, say, a zombie crisis or a vampire narrative. Now it seems like a few horror books come out every year, there are a few dedicated “ horror” writers, and the rest are often “literary takes” on horror themes written by literary writers. I came of age during that boom, though, and I was influenced by not only the bigtime masters, Stephen King and Clive Barker and Robert McCammon and Joe Lansdale and Dean Koontz, but some of the lesser-known but still vital and incredible practitioners like Jack Ketchum and Bentley Little and David Morrell. Some people blame the horror boom of the 80s and 90s-a bunch of crummy books with lurid covers oversaturated the market, turning a lot of casual readers and even a few dedicated ones off the genre. It was the encounter that would haunt both Charlie and Franz for forty years until, as old men, they would search the world for each other, a last mission that could change their lives forever. 8th Air Force would later classify what happened between them as “top secret.” It was an act that Franz could never mention for fear of facing a firing squad. What happened next would defy imagination and later be called “the most incredible encounter between enemies in World War II.” The pilot is German ace Franz Stigler-and he can destroy the young American crew with the squeeze of a trigger. Suddenly, a Messerschmitt fighter pulls up on the bomber’s tail. Half his crew lay wounded or dead on this, their first mission. At the controls is twenty-one-year-old Second Lieutenant Charlie Brown.
