Maguire has three half-siblings from his father's second marriage. He was reclaimed from the orphanage at age two, after his father's remarriage. His aunt relinquished him to a local orphanage when he was six months old. His mother died from complications suffered giving birth to him, which prompted his father to send him to live with an aunt. Biography īorn and raised in Albany, New York, Gregory Maguire is the youngest of four children born to Helen and John Maguire. Maguire is married to American painter Andy Newman, in one of the first same-sex marriages performed in the state of Massachusetts. Though unsuccessful at first, it was adapted into a popular Broadway musical in 2003. Wicked, published in 1995, was his first novel for adults. Maguire published his first novel, The Lightning Time, in 1978. Many of Maguire's adult novels are inspired by classic children's stories. He is the author of Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, and several dozen other novels for adults and children. Gregory Maguire (born June 9, 1954) is an American novelist. A little girl, about four years old, is found all alone on the docks after a ship has docked - somehow, she's come all the way from England and no one seems to know her name or who she belongs to. The book starts about 1905, in Australia. Basically, this is a historical mystery, which jumps back and forth between three main characters, following their lives across two continents and more than 100 years. So, if you are one of the 12 other people in the world who has not read this book yet (there are more than 83,000 reviews on Goodreads), here's the setup. (Everyone else loved it).īut people kept raving about The Forgotten Garden, so I gave it a shot, even though it's more than 550 pages long. I also disliked Water for Elephants and I was really underwhelmed by The Paris Wife, which we discussed last month. I hated, hated, hated The Memory Keeper's Daughter, which was really popular a few years ago in fact, I hated it so much I demanded a refund from Target. There are certain books that become extremely popular with book groups, but when it comes time to choose books for my two groups at the library, I'm sometimes leery - there are some books that absolutely everyone loves, and I end up hating them. I have to confess, sometimes I'm a bit snobbish when it comes to book group books. It seems to be one of these books that a lot of book groups are reading. This book has been on my radar forever, but somehow, I'd never gotten around to reading it. This book deals not with knowledge, which is always past tense anyway, but with imagination, which is physics come alive, which is Wu Li…. The Wu Li Master always begins at the center, the heart of the matter…. The Wu Li Master does not teach, but the student learns. Zukav explains the concept further: The Wu Li Master dances with his student. Like a Wu Li Master who would teach us wonder for the falling petal before speaking of gravity, Zukav writes in beautifully clear language-with no mathematical equations-opening our minds to the exciting new theories that are beginning to embrace the ultimate nature of our universe…Quantum mechanics, relativity, and beyond to the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen effect and Bell’s theorem.Īt an Esalen Institute meeting in 1976, tai chi master Al Huang said that the Chinese word for physics is Wu Li, “”patterns of organic energy.”” Journalist Gary Zukav and the others present developed the idea of physics as the dance of the Wu Li Masters–the teachers of physical essence. Gary Zukav has written “the Bible” for those who are curious about the mind-expanding discoveries of advanced physics, but who have no scientific background. Gardner also creates a relationship between Grendel and the dragon (another minor character in the original epic) in order to expand the concept of nihilism-the belief that there is no purpose to existence. Similarly, Gardner builds up the role of Grendel's mother to emphasize, through her inarticulateness, the importance of language in the development of civilization. Gardner also develops the theme of heroism as another moral force that enables society to advance by elevating Unferth, a minor character in the original poem, to a major character and foil for Grendel. Such is the power of art, Gardner seems to be saying, that even a monster can be affected by it. As a would-be artist, Grendel strives, however comically, to escape from his baseness. In Gardner's version, however, Grendel becomes a three-dimensional character with, in Howell's words, a sense of humor and a gift for language. A relatively minor character in Beowulf, Grendel is a symbol for darkness, chaos, and death, according to critic John M. As a professor of English specializing in medieval literature, Gardner had been teaching Beowulf, the source of inspiration for Grendel, for many years at various colleges. The novel was praised as a literary tour de force and named a book of the year by Time Newsweek magazines. Completed in 1970 and published the following year, Grendel was the first of John Gardner's novels to bring him not just critical but popular success. In the center of the novel, the image of the Sheep Man appears, which symbolizes the departing human spirit, he is the owner of the Evil Empire he created himself and must soon die along with his Empire. His name is Sensei, he is old, and most importantly seriously ill – for many years a giant tumor has been growing in his head, incompatible with human life. Because of this, monstrous hallucinations arise in his inflamed brain, and he himself seemed to be reborn into a different creature. In these hallucinations, the image of a sheep appears to him, the photographic image of which is found by the protagonist of the novel. Soon Sensei still dies, he is replaced by the character of the Rat, into which the spirit of the Sheep should move. It really inspired me and I can’t wait for what’s next.Īlso, can I just quote everything? Because I really need and want to: Steal Like an Artist gives ideas that apply to anyone who’s trying to inject some creativity into their life and their work. This was such a phenomenal and much needed read for me. It's just hard to pack away the awareness that while you're reading about creating art, you could spend that time creating art. It's good to read motivational stuff, especially because creating art can be a pretty lonely process. I'm not saying there's no place for these types of books, and this one is smart because it's a quick read and it sticks pretty well to the motivational side of things as opposed to the nuts and bolts. A how-to book about painting is probably of less use than a book of paintings you enjoy. In other words, a book ABOUT writing is probably less helpful to a writer than a book that's just plain good. The inherent problem in any book that's a how-to for something artistic, whether it be writing or painting or making music or the artistry in tailoring a custom Voltron costume, the problem with the how-to book is that when you're reading the how-to book you're not doing the actual thing you're being taught to do. They make me feel better in the moment, but ultimately don't do much towards building a full picture of happiness. It's then that Morrigan discovers Jupiter has chosen her to contend for a place in the city's most prestigious organization: the Wundrous Society. Chased by black-smoke hounds and shadowy hunters on horseback, he whisks her away into the safety of a secret, magical city called Nevermoor. Having been born on Eventide, the unluckiest day for any child to be born, she's blamed for all local misfortunes, from hailstorms to heart attacks - and, worst of all, the curse means that Morrigan is doomed to die at midnight on her 11th birthday.īut as Morrigan awaits her fate, a strange and remarkable man named Jupiter North appears. A breathtaking, enchanting new series by debut author Jessica Townsend about a cursed girl who escapes death and finds herself in a magical world - but is then tested beyond her wildest imagination. But we know it is not, whether it is from ethical or psychological point of view. Yet, the narrative of GOTH portrays this as normal as the sun rises and sets. It is the numbness that irks us normal people. The entire story is engulfed in cold detachment towards the crimes, the victims, the criminals, and the motivations. We are thrust right into the world of Kamiyama, a high-schooler and a self-professed morbid psychopath, where crimes scenes are playgrounds and severed human hands are things of beauty. In GOTH, there is no common outlook for readers to hang on to. In other word, the narrative of Sakura Gari is sane. The characters are clear in their ethical stand points. At least in Sakura Gari, we see madness as madness. Compared to that, GOTH is another ballgame altogether. The last time I felt I should give readers a warning first thing in the review was with Sakura Gari which is a tale of a twisted love fueled by years of mistreatment and madness. Proceed at own risk.Īnother Warning: GOTH contains extreme goriness and disturbing content. Author/Creator: Otsuichi (story), Kendi Oiwa (illustration), adapted from GOTH anthology by Otsuichi Even when he singles out the cliched cases of slavery and Nazism, he refuses to draw a line between good and evil, for fear that once a line is drawn, it may be used by the evil to legitimize their own use of power-and what if, he asks, "'we' are the evil ones?" (p. Neal ends up refusing to draw-as a matter of principle-any line between what a liberal should and should not accept from others. However, it's irritating because Neal's turn away from the theorists and their "perfectionist" rules and principles does not really leave him on firmer ground, but rather unmoors him into that hazy, self-indulgent self-consciousness of the post-modern thinker, in which one becomes afraid to make the most obvious moral judgments. It's rewarding because Neal, an associate professor of political science at the University of Vermont, Burlington, ably surveys the major contemporary theoretical debates while taking pains to stake out more solid ground than that of the airy theorists. For those interested in current academic debates about liberalism, Patrick Neal's Liberalism and Its Discontents (New York University Press, 1997) will be both a rewarding and an irritating book. |
