![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The theatre is housed in the Arts Barn, a renovated brick stable now home to the oldest continuously performing local theatre in the Washington Metro area, a repertory once favored by Eleanor Roosevelt and where Goldie Hawn cut her teeth. This latest offering, however, did little to enhance that storied legacy. The Montgomery Playhouse is in “Kentlands”, a smart New Urbanist-planned community in Gaithersburg, MD. and Michael Redgrave, the 1970 Soviet cartoon, the 1974 CBS radio drama, the 1975 made-for-TV film with David Niven, the 1985 film starring no one you’ve ever heard of, the 1986 film with John Gielgud, the 1988 animated television special, the 1992 BBC radio 4 adaptation, the 1996 film with Patrick Stewart, the 1997 TV film starring Ian Richardson, the 2001 Australian film, the 2007 BBC Radio 7 reading by Alistair McGowan, the 2008 Bollywood adaptation, the 2010 graphic novel, the 2011 audiobook narrated by Rupert Degas, the 2016 French-Belgian film, and nor, indeed, the 2017 animated feature film with the voices of Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, for which I can be forgiven as it hasn’t been released yet. However, and to my shame, neither did I catch the 1944 film starring Charles Laughton, the 1962 BBC television drama featuring Bernard Cribbins, the 1966 ABC television musical with Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. Unfortunately, I was too young to read the original. The Canterville Ghost is a short story by Oscar Wilde which made its first appearance in America in The New-York Tribune on Sunday, March 27, 1887. ![]() ![]() Disconnected from his wife and children, fearful that he may never have another brilliant idea, Bix is feeling nostalgic for the early ‘90s when the Internet was new and he was in the “thrall of his Vision, which burned with hypnotic clarity.” Then, he “could feel the vibrations of an invisible web of connection forcing its way through the familiar world like cracks in a windshield.” ![]() student in NYU’s engineering lab,” Bix has become an immensely wealthy tech guru who’s developed a social media company called Mandala. “The Candy House” begins in 2010 from the perspective of Bix Bouton, who was an NYU classmate of “Goon Squad” character Sasha. ![]() Even more structurally experimental than its predecessor, the novel unfolds from a slew of perspectives and in a wide range of styles as it ruminates on the allure and perils of technology and social media, bids for intimacy and threats to privacy, the fragility of identity, and the yearning for authenticity in a world of pretenders and simulacra. ![]() Jennifer Egan’s new book, “ The Candy House,” which she’s called a “sibling novel” to her Pulitzer Prize-winning “ A Visit From the Goon Squad,” is a dizzying and dazzling work that should end up on many Best of the Year lists. ![]() ![]() But with all this freedom (and speed!) come a lot of obstacles.

![]() Anyone who reads this knows where the story with Bish is going. I like the more detailed look at Bish and his interaction. I enjoy Caleb and Maggie, though some of the same sort of story line appears here. As long as you don’t need a super huge refresher on what already happened, its great to just jump right back into the story. This time, the book picks up exactly where book one left off (like, exactly) which is actually kind of nice. ACCORDANCE is a fun, quick read, and I recommend it if you enjoyed the first book. I read Shelly Crane’s SIGNIFICANCE awhile ago, and couldn’t decide whether to continue the story or not. Caleb and Maggie face many new obstacles together and fight to work through them but will one that should be a good thing be too much for Maggie to handle? Bish went from being her biggest supporter to her biggest pain in the butt and Kyle’s intentions to attract her interest may not be so innocent. She rebels against it, but ultimately, must face it for her new families sake and maybe even her life. In the sequel, Maggie learns much more about all the strange things that happened to her, and has to face new ones. ![]() ![]() ![]() Savy’s a built-in tutor to help him drag his marks back up so he doesn’t get benched. Tate Valor thinks this nerdy girl is the perfect choice to use as his shield, keeping all the groupies and gold diggers off his back. Him and his three best friends treat her like a pet to play with and are careless with her until she’s had enough and breaks the deal. It starts with a fake dating deal she wants no part of but is forced into by the school’s hotshot quarterback. She hides away in her oversized frumpy clothes and thick glasses, wishing she was brave enough to be seen without her mask. James is a sad and lonely girl with too many secrets to count. When the mask is ripped away, and they rage at the lie,ĭance Butterfly Dance is Book 1 of a duet and will be completed in the second book, Burn Butterfly Burn Terrified of the day that her secrets will bloom She hides behind her mask and dances to their tune, She flutters her wings and plays her part on a stage ![]() No one sees her until she steps into that cage When all she ever wanted was someone to care They walk past her, ignore her, like she’s not there Savy’s got secrets that she’ll never tellĪ nobody, a nothing, all alone, she’s in hell ![]() ![]() I miss my colleagues, catching up, getting advice from someone, working through something that’s an issue and workshopping with the team. It’s a thriving, buzzy office, two floors packed wall-to-wall with agents and assistants. What do you miss most about the Curtis Brown office? You can’t check your phone or email when you’re doing that. At the end of the day, I have to be really disciplined and so I cook. ![]() ![]() What is the first thing you do when you sit down at your desk each day?ĭo you have any rituals to signal the beginning and end of each working day? I have time to spend a couple of hours talking with them and really giving in-depth notes. They are all writers who have had a little bit of work made or have written scripts.

Nish Panchal has carved a name for himself on London’s agency scene with a client list of emerging UK writers and directors. ![]() ![]() ![]() The result is a glittering and addictive comedy of manners that continues to beguile new generations of readers.Īrmistead Maupin was born in Washington, D.C., in 1944 but grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina. Hurdling barriers both social and sexual, Maupin leads them through heartbreak and triumph, through nail-biting terrors and gleeful coincidences.

So it takes forever for me to read a book (in the physical form). I love story, but damn it if I can’t sit still for long. That’s one of the great things about Audible. ![]() ![]() Something compelling but over all disappointing Lot 49 is also very accessible and even V., and i'm looking forward to Against the Day to see which way it leans, Gravity or Vice. Gravity's Rainbow is another kettle of fish entirely. I found myself getting nostalgic with all the late 60's pop-culture references to movies and television shows and music of the time. There are many Pynchonesque themes ( paranoia enhanced perhaps by the drugs entropy and communication and mechanization/computerization government conspiracy) but these won't get in the way for non-Pynchon-ers. There are plenty of allusions and puns and word plays, but again not for the most part obtrusive. There are some funny moments along the way and the plot gets convoluted like the old noirs, but the stoned surfer type detective and the dialogue is really what's of interest. Think Big Lebowski crossed with a noir-ish mystery, a little Chinatown, a little Big Sleep.etc. ![]() The "plot" echoes Crying of Lot 49 a little and there are allusions to other novels, Vineland, Against the Day, Gravity's Rainbow, but they are unobtrusive nods, and the story is very linear and enjoyable. This is a rather un-Pynchon-like Pynchon, but very good. ![]() ![]() At the body scale, border crossings threaten the whiteness of the national body through suggestions of rape and disfigurement. By applying critical discourse analysis methodology to the Los Angeles Times, Arizona Republic, Albuquerque Journal, and Houston Chronicle during a peak epoch of border militarization policies (1993–2006), brownness emerges through a news crime frame that reflexively shows the values and meanings of whiteness and the nation through the use of geographic scales. Covering the Border War: How the News Media Create Crime, Race, Nation, and the USA-Mexico Divide examines the notion of the body politic in border newspaper coverage of the USA-Mexico divide and how the nation and immigration are racially imagined in crime news discourse, where whiteness is associated with order and brownness is associated with disorder in a variety of imaginative, nativist ways. ![]() |
