Michener5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() What makes this one such an enjoyable read is the engaging multiple characters and the riveting tales of human interaction across cultures.

The Hemingway hero is not Ernest Hemingway, though Hemingway’s protagonists clearly have a great deal in common with their creator. In 2005 Professor Hamblin led the Oprah Book Club's online discussions of As I Lay Dying for Oprah Winfrey's "Summer of Faulkner." Those discussions included a number of video-taped mini-lectures on the characters, themes, structure, and context of the novel. Teaching Faulkner is pleased to offer the transcribed texts of those lectures to our readers.Īutobiographical Elements Almost all writers incorporate their own personal experiences into their work, though it would be a huge mistake ever to argue for a direct correlation between an author and a character. ![]() The book on the come up5/13/2023 ![]() In it, Abrams presents an ambitious collection of firsthand accounts of hip-hop’s birth and ultimate rise as the gravitational center of pop culture. Cutting through the inherent contradictions that come along with documenting hip-hop history, author and New York Times staff writer Jonathan Abrams goes directly to the source(s), conducting over 300 interviews with key players throughout hip-hop’s five decade reign for his latest book, The Come Up: An Oral History Of The Rise of Hip-Hop, which was published on Tuesday (October 19th). Today, nearly 50 years after DJ Kool Herc’s watershed back to school jam at 1520 Sedgwick avenue in The Bronx, hip-hop’s dual status as a powerful cultural tradition and global commercial industry makes an accurate and meaningful accounting of its history, problematic at best. When hip-hop’s revolutionary energy first blossomed in New York City in the early 1970s, most would’ve been hard pressed to predict what the burgeoning subculture’s future would hold. We sat down with author Jonathan Abrams to talk about the book and doing the work of documenting a cultural history. ![]() ![]() The Come Up details hip-hop’s birth and ultimate rise as the gravitational center of pop culture. ![]() Dog book racing in the rain5/13/2023 ![]() In conclusion, The Art of Racing in the Rain is a beautiful novel.

Lastly, death and dying, a major plot, underlines the entirety of The Art of Racing in the Rain. It is a simple story of a family seen through the eyes of their dog, but Enzo’s insight into the human condition is what turns this simple story into something special. This quote describes the significance of Enzo’s character in the story. I’ve always known that there’s something about me that’s different than other dogs.
