![]() ![]() Even as a 16-year-old, I liked quiet pubs. It was a haven of quietness away from the rowdiness of the main pub. ![]() I think it was called ‘The Library’, and certainly it had genuine books lining the walls. In the 80s it had a back room – restaurant-like before pubs really had the idea of restaurants. We’d start off at the Fox and Goose, nearest to me in my hometown of Coalville, Leicestershire. He and I would do Friday night pub crawls before we were legally allowed to. I recall being introduced to the book by a mate in a pub in my youth. It’s a very confusing book.Īnd it always has been confusing – as has the reaction it has received from the strangest of people. Is it good, or is it a pile of shite? I’m dodging between 3 stars and 4 for this review but certain parts are more like a 2 and others up at 5. For once, here is a book I’m not quite decided about. ![]() ![]() The sweep and psychological depth of the Shahnameh is nothing less than magnificent as it recounts classic tales like the tragedy of Rostam and Sohrab. ![]() Among the greatest works of world literature, this prodigious narrative, composed by the poet Ferdowsi in the late tenth century, tells the story of pre-Islamic Iran, beginning in the mythic time of creation and continuing forward to the Arab invasion in the seventh century. Wherever Persian influence has spread, the stories of the Shahnameh become deeply embedded in the culture, as amply attested by their appearance in such works as The Kite Runner and the love poems of Rumi and Hafez. The great national epic of Persia-the most complete English-language edition and definitive translation by Dick Davis, available in a deluxe edition by Penguin Classics. ![]() ![]() Mansfield Park is soon in crisis as they bring a lifestyle that the residents of Mansfield Park are simply not ready for.

How true this is remains up for debate, but Wolff is kind to his Virgil, as he calls him in the acknowledgements, and portrays him as TrumpWorld’s Svengali in the shadows. One of the main sources is again Steve Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist who is still – as the book would have us believe – pulling all the strings from his Washington, DC townhouse. ![]() The special counsel’s office, it should be said, has since disputed this claim. The special counsel decided not to charge the president, but his team had decided that, legally, they could have. The document, “United States Of America Against Donald J Trump, Defendant”, sat on Mueller’s desk, according to Wolff, for more than a year. In an initiative led by Weissmann, the special counsel’s office laid out an indictment of the president.” The key news line is Wolff’s assertion that by March 2018, “Mueller’s team was contemplating an audacious move. Well, in news depressing for the planet but no doubt happy for Mr Wolff’s bank balance, I can report there’s plenty left.īut let’s start with the special counsel investigation, which gives the book its structure. ![]() ![]() Tiller promised that he would complete the addition by 1 June 1883. At the contract signing in January 1882, Mr. Farley agreed to rent the hotel after Tiller showed him plans for the enlargement of the building, which would add twenty-four rooms and a second story. After lengthy negotiations by letter and in person, Pierce R. Tiller, president of the Upshur Guano Company of Norfolk, owned the hotel and hoped to find a renter for it. Stables and a lot of land extending along Brunswick Street, from Halifax Street to the Petersburg Railroad line, went along with the hotel property.īenjamin D. ![]() ![]() The hotel contained eight rooms and was in bad condition. The Cato House was a hotel located in Hicksford, Virginia, on the corner of Brunswick and Halifax Streets. With echoes of the comedy film The Money Pit, which would follow a century later, this attempt at live-in renovations goes predictably badly. ![]() Tiller, etc., 1886–007 tells the tale of a business deal gone sour. Greensville County Chancery Cause Pierce R. ![]() ![]() ![]() For Imagine Me Gone, the first scene I wrote in-depth was the mother traveling with her family to Maine for a summer vacation. I write those scenes, and as I’m writing them I’m discovering and deciding what scope of work they fit into-a short story, a novel, or something in between. I always begin with characters in particular settings, inside particular scenes. When you set out to write the book, had you already planned the chronology of your characters’ lives? ![]() The novel switches narrative voice and isn’t chronological. ![]() We spoke to him about genre, mental illness, and structure. Organizing his novel by characters, Haslett has produced a text that requires reflection and refuses authorial control. In his new work, Imagine Me Gone, the Lambda Award–winning author introduces his readers to the complex inner workings of an idiosyncratic family. These issues are what Haslett takes to heart, and most of his work has put individualism in tension with the body in one way or the other. Novelist Adam Haslett started his writing career with his short story collection, You Are Not a Stranger Here, where he explores how sexuality and mental illness affect relationships among families and friends. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He was a solid bench player to get for just a couple of second-round picks. In Boston, Muscala didn’t have as large or consistent of a role, but he was still a solid piece on their bench. His calm demeanor was welcoming and he never complained about his playing time/touches despite his seniority. Off the court, Muscala was a great locker room guy to have around the youngest roster in the league. On catch-and-shoot 3s, he shot 37.5% on 3.2 attempts with the Thunder. Muscala’s 3-point attempts were almost exclusively off the catch. He provided OKC with valuable spacing when he was on the court - an important weapon to have with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on the roster. Muscala was a valuable piece off the bench as a stretch five who could defend a little. He shot 39.4% from 3 on 3.3 attempts in 43 games with the Thunder. He shot 39.2% from 3 on 3.8 attempts in his tenure, the highest mark of any team he’s been on. The 31-year-old enjoyed his best shooting seasons with the Thunder. Muscala’s long tenure with the Thunder finally ended this year when he was traded to the Celtics at the trade deadline.Īfter 3.5 seasons with OKC, Muscala was moved for draft capital. ![]() ![]() ![]() The compelling, poignant true stories of victims of a notorious adoption scandal-some of whom learned the truth from Lisa Wingate’s bestselling novel Before We Were Yours and were reunited with birth family members as a result of its wide reach From the 1920s to 1950, Georgia Tann ran a black-market baby business at the Tennessee Children’s Home Society in Memphis.
