He preferred to be left alone, and resisted any type of explanation or analysis of his work. Leiter, who painted and took pictures prolifically up to his death, worked in relative obscurity until he entered his eighties. Leiter, who was also a painter, allows abstract elements into the photographs and often shows the influence of his favorite artists, including Bonnard, Vuillard and Matisse. Now, we get a first-time look at this body of work, which was begun on Leiter’s arrival in New York in 1946 and honed over the next two decades. In the 1970s Leiter planned to make a book of nudes, but the project was never realized in his lifetime. Showing deeply personal interior spaces, often illuminated by the lush natural light of the artist’s studio in New York City’s East Village, these black-and-white images reveal a unique type of collaboration between Leiter and his subjects. The fruit of fantastic recent discoveries from Saul Leiter’s vast archive, In My Room provides an in-depth study of the nude, through intimate photographs of the women Leiter knew.

So then! Back in issue 11, Sonic used something called the COSMIC INTERSTATE in an attempt to shave time off of his commute but instead ended up going to a mirror universe with EVIL Sonic. Now this one’s a bit of a doozy as it’s the first issue in the series to have a SINGLE storyline instead of being broken up into vignettes which is an interesting change of pace and they certainly packed it with enough content to stretch the story out that long not to mention continuity callbacks which I feel are only going to become more common as the series goes along. Sonic the Hedgehog and all the images you see in this recap are owned by Archie Comics and Sega of Americaīoy it’s been a while, hasn’t it? What with the NEW Sonic the Hedgehog comics coming out, I haven’t had much time to look back at the series that started it all! That changes right now (at least for the time being) as we’ve got two more issues of the Archie series to look at! With the new books fresh in my mind, how do these classic issues compare with what we’ve been getting recently? Let’s find out!! Very few African Americans were directing in Hollywood at the time. The studio selected him to direct Watermelon Man (1970), a racial satire that starred Godfrey Cambridge as Jeff Gerber, a bigoted white insurance salesman who goes to the bathroom in his suburban home in the middle of the night and discovers he’s Black. Van Peebles was living in Paris when the first feature he wrote and directed, The Story of a Three-Day Pass, attracted attention and put him on the radar at Columbia Pictures. The Chicago native also was a novelist, theater impresario, songwriter, musician and painter. Superstar Billy Graham, Influential Pro Wrestler, Dies at 79Ĭonsidered by many to be the godfather of modern Black cinema, Van Peebles was an influential link to a younger generation of African American filmmakers that includes Spike Lee and John Singleton. I just finished reading the "Free Preview" of Poison Princess - I'm hooked! This is the first of any Kresley Coles writing that I've read! I'ma "young" Mema, that loves reading YA paranorm/dystopian genre, for the reason that I honestly don't get into all the extreme hot-explicit-sexual-scenes that you get in "most" ADULT paranormal! Not saying I don't read Adult Paranormal, I just try to avoid the heavy-romance ones! If I want "hot-sex-scenes" >I'll grab hubby and make my own! LOLĪnyway, I really fell for the characters in Poison Princess, the rich & poor, the good & bad! Our Heroine/Empress~sometimes tuff as nails and sometimes I could slap her - buuuut - let's not forget, the poor girl is BOOK: Poison Princess Free Preview (The Arcana Chronicles) At first, he seemed to me like the kind of guy that I should feel bad for, except that I couldn’t get over how many of his unlucky breaks have come because of his own terrible decision making. Jack is a man very much on edge, and he’s already teetering when we meet him. Reading it again over the past couple of weeks, I’m struck at just how much tension King was able to work in from page one. But I know I blazed through it at the same rate I blazed through King’s other works, and that while it left certain indelible images behind (the hornets in Danny’s room, the thing that Jack became smashing its face in with the roque mallet), I didn’t feel the full force of its impact until the readings that came much later. Those days are a blur of discovery now, some 30 years later, and the order of things has been irrevocably shuffled about. I was in the early stages of discovering King, those heady days when I had lots of books of his to catch up on, and this was one of a batch of paperbacks I bought that day – I think it also included Different Seasons and maybe Firestarter – for something like fifty cents apiece.ĭid I read it before seeing the movie? I honestly don’t remember. The top right corner of the cover had been clipped off, and the bookstore’s name – Trade ‘n Books – was stamped on the side opposite the spine. It was the paperback edition with the metallic silver cover that has the faceless head of a child front and center. I bought my first copy of The Shining at a sidewalk sale my favorite (then and now) used bookstore was having. The book was published by Jack Kahane’s Obelisk Press. In 1931, he began transforming these experiences into what he called his “Paris book,” a mélange of anecdotes, reflections, character sketches, scabrous outbursts and surreal flights of language held together by the distinctive voice of its first-person narrator, a fictionalized version of the man named Henry Miller. Miller lived a hand-to-mouth existence on the streets of Paris, consorting with prostitutes and other expatriate artists he met in cafés, and surviving on their generosity. In 1930, at the urging of his second wife June Mansfield, Miller moved to Paris in a desperate bid to find himself as a writer. Miller had been writing novels since 1922, but his first three efforts, written primarily while he was living in Brooklyn and New York, had not been accepted for publication, and he regarded them as failures. Thus began one of the most extraordinary and long relationships in American literary history. One of the new censor’s first acts was to place Tropic of Cancer on the list of books prohibited from importation into the United States. In that same month, 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean in Washington, D.C., the Secretary of the Treasury appointed a young Baltimore lawyer as the official U.S. In September 1934 the American writer Henry Miller, age 42, had published in Paris his autobiographical novel Tropic of Cancer.

As the centuries passed as well as Atticus continued to be an irritatingly long-lived fugitive, those who were furious only grew more so, while others started to help him in secret. After he took a wonderful sword from the Tuatha Dé Danann (those that came to be the Sidhe or the Fae) in an initial century fight, some of them were furious as well as gave chase, as well as some were privately amused that a Druid had the cheek to defy them.
