He wants something strong to take the edge off his anxiety from the snake. After they leave, the roommate gets up and goes to the liquor cabinet. The man tries to calm him down and says he knows where his car is, and that he'll take him there. When the doctor sees his car is gone, stolen by the woman brought home, he gets angry. After the sheet is pulled back and there's no snake, the doctor asks the man if the roommate might have imagined it all. The bulk of the episode is the same as the story, with the added aspect of the woman hiding in the kitchen so the roommate and doctor don't see her and tarnish her reputation. I think she was added into the episode to make it more dramatic. I don't think he did, because later in the episode she steals the doctor's car, and I don't recall that from the story. The episode was similar to the story, though I don't remember if the man brought a woman home.

It relates the journey of Miyamoto Musashi, a real-life samurai from the 1600s who decided to follow the Way of the Sword. An itinerant monk, the distinguished Takuan Soho, takes pity on the “devil child,” secretly freeing Shinmen and christening him with a new name to avoid pursuit by the authorities: Musashi Miyamoto.

Upon being captured, he is strung up on a tree and left to die. He instead finds himself a wanted criminal, framed for his friend’s supposed murder based on his history of violence.

Vagabond (Japanese: Bagabondo) is a Japanese epic martial arts manga series written and illustrated by Takehiko Inoue. I picked up this book on an impromptu trip to Barnes and Noble, and I’m so glad I did. With sharp prose and gritty realism, The Grace Year examines the complex and sometimes twisted relationships between girls, the women they eventually become, and the difficult decisions they make in-between. Their greatest threat may very well be each other. It’s not even the poachers in the woods, men who are waiting for a chance to grab one of the girls in order to make a fortune on the black market. Sixteen-year-old Tierney James dreams of a better life-a society that doesn’t pit friend against friend or woman against woman, but as her own grace year draws near, she quickly realizes that it’s not just the brutal elements they must fear. But not all of them will make it home alive. That’s why they’re banished for their sixteenth year, to release their magic into the wild so they can return purified and ready for marriage. They believe their very skin emits a powerful aphrodisiac, the potent essence of youth, of a girl on the edge of womanhood. In Garner County, girls are told they have the power to lure grown men from their beds, to drive women mad with jealousy.

So when a letter arrives from a reclusive lord, asking Wren to come to his estate, Colwick Hall, to cure his servant from a mysterious illness, she seizes her chance to redeem herself. Wren Southerland's reckless use of magic has cost her everything: she's been dismissed from the Queen's Guard and separated from her best friend-the girl she loves.

The inherent narcissism we’re caught in is disturbing. It cleverly catches the audience in the same train of thought as the character, feeling that sense of relief when a plot complication is removed, even when that plot complication is the loss of someone’s life. Particularly, I found the end of Act One intriguing, when the central character Quentin accuses himself of having a relieved response when his friend dies, a friend who might drag him into the McCarthy spotlight. While it falters as a whole, “After the Fall” has some engaging segments. No doubt the experimental form could make for some interesting staging, but the play’s outsized scope and meandering focus ultimately keeps us outside of the dramatic question. The stage represents Quentin’s psyche, and characters appear as he remembers them. The central character, Quentin, is a middle-aged intellectual, who addresses an offstage listener/therapist in that annoying way that some plays/TV shows used in the 60s and 70s (e.g., "The Shadow Box"). The play is abstracted, experimental, moving away from the well-made-play form Miller excelled in, but not in a fully integrated way as we find with "Death of a Salesman." It centers on this concept of guilt that Miller constantly returns to in his plays. This play feels like an extended psychotherapy session on Arthur Miller’s relationship with women and his parents and the anxiety of the McCarthy era. All the broad sky was grey, full of more snow that refused to fall. Further back there were only the flat fields of Dawson’s farm, dimly white-striped. That wide grey sweep was the lawn, with the straggling trees of the orchard still dark beyond the white squares were the roofs of the garage, the old barn, the rabbit hutches, the chicken coops. The snow lay thin and apologetic over the world. Even now, I can recall the deliciousness of first reading Susan Cooper’s words: Lewis’ The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe or fairy tales like The Snow Queen, Philip Pullman’s Northern Lights or Susan Cooper’s The Dark is Rising, I love finding a quiet, cozy corner to get beneath a blanket with a cup of tea, and lose myself within the pages of a book while, outside, the world is blanketed in the papery-white of snow. So begins The Way Past Winter by Kiran Millwood Hargrave.įor as long as I can remember, I have adored tales of winter. A winter that arrived so sudden and sharp it stuck birds to branches, and caught rivers in such a frost their spray froze and scattered down like clouded crystals on the stilled water. “It was a winter they would tell tales about. |
