If they are all to survive, they’ll need to reclaim the memories, reclaim their identity - and own who they really are. Yetu will learn more than she ever expected to about her own past - and about the future of her people. ![]() And so, she flees to the surface, escaping the memories, the expectations, and the responsibilities - and discovers a world her people left behind long ago. Yetu remembers for everyone, and the memories, painful and wonderful, traumatic and terrible and miraculous, are destroying her. This demanding role has been bestowed on Yetu. Their past, too traumatic to be remembered regularly, is forgotten by everyone, save one - the historian. Yetu holds the memories for her people - water-dwelling descendants of pregnant African slave women thrown overboard by slave owners - who live idyllic lives in the deep. Butler meets Marvel’s Black Panther in The Deep, a story rich with Afrofuturism, folklore, and the power of memory, inspired by the Hugo Award–nominated song “The Deep” from Daveed Diggs’s rap group Clipping. ![]()

When the war ended, the family retrieved Mako from Japan, welcomed a new baby girl named Momo, and was granted permanent residence thanks to a new bill enacted by Congress. He adopted the pseudonym Taro Yashima in order to protect his remaining family in Japan - notably, his young son Mako, who had remained with his grandparents. Iwamatsu enlisted in the American Army and joined the Office of War Information and in the Office of Strategic Services as an artist. Shortly after their arrival, the United States declared war on Japan. Jun Atsushi Iwamatsu (1908–1994) was already a successful artist in Japan when he and his wife, Tamao, also an artist, arrived in New York City in 1939 to study at the esteemed Art Students League. ![]() ![]() ![]() Theo Wallace - der lebenslustige, faule Loewe - sucht eine Freundschaft, die Bestand hat.

Chris has chosen Dylan with whom to prove his point. He'd sit back, crack open a Mountain Dew, and have a good laugh. And who knows, maybe watching his most loathed neighbor suffer through five hundred kisses with the same man is worth it. But Chris and his arrogant, always right, dare I be wrong attitude has Dylan challenging him to try it. Dylan Halsworth doesn't believe it either. If you don't like someone, you just don't like them. None of whom he'd want to share five hundred kisses with. "Five hundred kisses are all it takes to steal a heart." Chris Montgomery doesn't believe it, and he'd know. How to Steal a Heart in 500 Kisses (Trade Paperback / Paperback) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The narrator is a penniless young Irish school teacher who givesĪ lecture on poetry and is about to go home to his mistress, a sad Greek dancing girl named Melissa, when he is sought out by the book's heroine, Justine, a beautiful Jewess married to Nessim, a sensitive Coptic millionaire. The time is not stated, but it may be the Nineteen Thirties. The scene is dusty, modern Alexandria, and the milieu one that mixes exceptional sophistication with exceptional sordidness. Is peculiarly significant and encouraging. Durrell has become a truly important writer, and one whose development, as revealed in this volume (the first of a trilogy) It treats also of recollected experiences of love, with Proust's "Remembrance of Things Past." Mr. Eliot introduced with extraordinary praise, and "Cefalu" (1947), which was better but neither of them prepared me for a book that demands comparison with the very best books of our century and specifically, since I respected Lawrence Durrell's previous novels, "The Black Book" (1938), His is the best work of fiction I have read in some years.

The highly anticipated sequel to Dreadnought, featuring “the most exciting new superheroes in decades.” ( Kirkus, starred review) ![]() ![]() However, his “young people represent the future” counterpoint-and the book itself-really responds to an echo of an argument, as black communities have moved the conversation out to listen to African communities who critique the holiday’s loose “African-ness” and deep American-ness and moved on to commemorate holidays that have a more historical base in black people’s experiences in the United States, such as Juneteenth. In fact, Mayes says in the endnotes that young people are Kwanzaa’s “largest audience and most important constituents” and further extends an invitation to all races and ages to join the winter celebration. Mayes take great pains-and in painfully simplistic language-to provide a context that attempts to refute the internal arguments as much as it informs its intended audience. This book arrives at a time when black people in the United States have had intraracial-some serious, some snarky-conversations about Kwanzaa’s relevance nowadays, from its patchwork inspiration that flattens the cultural diversity of the African continent to a single festive story to, relatedly, the earnest blacker-than-thou pretentiousness surrounding it. ![]() ![]() An overview of the modern African-American holiday. ![]() ![]() He’s frequently asked if he’s ever worked for an intelligence agency but always declines to answer the question in the hope that someone may believe he actually has.

Over the next several years, Livia’s influence helps Augustus to gain enough political power to become emperor. When he refuses, Livia forces him to divorce her and marries Augustus instead, realizing that Augustus will be much easier to manipulate in order to achieve her political goals. ![]() An extremely ambitious and manipulative woman, Livia attempts to convince Claudius' grandfather to seize control of the Roman government and declare himself to be king. Claudius’ autobiography is fated to tell the true story of his life to future generations, and, in the same way, his position as emperor is also pre-ordained.Ĭlaudius begins the description of his life with the account of his grandmother, Livia, and her marriages, first to his grandfather and then to Augustus. With that in mind, Claudius assures the readers that his narrative is a factual account of all of the importance occurrences in his life, particularly the events leading to his ascension as emperor. According to Claudius, the existence of the text was prophesied by the Sibyl at Cumae, who declared that Claudius would “speak clear” in nineteen hundred years by writing an accurate account of his life. Robert Graves’ novel opens with Claudius (or Tiberius Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus) introducing himself and describing his personal motivation for writing this autobiography. ![]() |
