![]() Green said he started to feel more empowered to use his voice around February, but by then, it was too late to change the trajectory of the Warriors’ season. 500 all season, barely avoided the play-in and ultimately fell in six games to the Los Angeles Lakers in the West semifinals. Instead of a title defense from the top of the league, Golden State was around. But as he walked on eggshells trying to pick his spots to speak out, the Warriors floundered. Green took a backseat during the first few months of the season, trying to allow time to heal the wounds he caused. ![]() ![]() Smith on ESPN’s alternate broadcast of Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals on Tuesday night, Green said the blame for the Warriors’ shortcomings fall directly on him for splintering the locker-room trust 10 months ago.Įverything changed for the Warriors when Green punched Jordan Poole in the face and, days later, video of the chemistry-shattering jab leaked to the public. ![]() SAN FRANCISCO - Draymond Green believes the Warriors would still be playing if it hadn’t been for him. ![]()

![]() ![]() Novel shies away from using the kind of specific terminology usually found in dementia narratives, Bill’s prognosis is very apparent in his behaviour: he wanders back to his childhood home, he doesn’t recognise friends and family members, he becomes increasingly irritable. Her father, aged 77, is showing signs of dementia. ![]() She’s changed her name and suddenly developed an interest in feminism and philosophy. Her mother, aged 65, appears to be having a rather late version of a midlife crisis. The thing which make Ghosts a little different from other books of this type I’ve read, is Nina’s relationship with her parents. The novel follows food writer Nina, as she turns thirty two and attempt to navigate the world of online dating whilst the majority of her friends are having babies and settling into married life. It’s a quick read, and for the most part, quite light but it includes several really tender moments which made me stop in my tracks. ![]() It’s not the sort of book I’d normally turn to -a kind of Bridget Jones-style take on contemporary dating with lots of pop culture references, romance and a little bit of pathos on the side- and yet, I have to say I really enjoyed it. Ghosts is award-winning author and journalist, Dolly Alderton’s debut novel. ![]() ![]() ![]() So, the Martinis that Franny and her boyfriend (now fiancée) Lane have at lunch may be gone, along with “the Yale game,” but Franny’s spiritual dilemma remains mostly intact, as does her disillusionment with the phonies and the non-poet poets at her school, as can be seen in this clip: Which is a shame, because Pari manages to be quite faithful to the Salinger stories, while effectively retrofitting the characters and situations to modern-day Iran. ![]() (Salinger didn’t respond.) Of course, Pari is not exactly easy to find in the U.S.: When it was slated to open an Iranian film festival at Lincoln Center in 1998, Salinger sicced his lawyers at the last minute and prevented its screening. Mehrjui was able to get away with it because Iran doesn’t have any copyright agreements with the U.S., although the director did reportedly send Salinger an e-mail before making his film, asking for permission for his adaptation. ![]() Iranian director Darius Mehrjui’s Pari, made in 1995, is an honest-to-god adaptation of Franny and Zooey. Lost amid all this discussion, though, was one somewhat recent film that actually was adapted from a Salinger work. ![]() Salinger’s death last week revived the discussion/debate over films adapted from his work, with many wondering if we would finally see a movie of The Catcher in the Rye, and others posting lists of films that, while not adapted from Salinger, were kind of Salinger-esque, maybe. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Peut-être que Thérèse est méprisable, moi je l'ai senti très humaine, l'archétype de la femme bourgeoise trop intelligente pour ne pas souffrir ? C'est une femme qui a raté sa vie, elle n'est pas dupe, elle en a la conscience aiguë. La déchéance de Thérèse est pathétique, le soin apporté aux détails prosaïques pour dire tout en un coup de pinceau est poignant : Anne sa servante, qui l'embrasse sur le front après l'avoir bordé comme son propre enfant, mais quelle force. L'écriture de Mauriac m'a impressionné : ces paysages de Landes qui semblent refléter le désespoir sourd de Thérèse, cette relation à sa fille, le miroir qu'elle tend à Georges sur ses propres mesquineries. ![]() J'ai eu un temps de désoeuvrement quand le triangle s'installe, puis le final m'a ébloui à nouveau. L'intériorité de Thérèse, sa honte, son sentiment d'inadéquation, tout est scruté si habilement qu'on a l'impression d'être dans ses os. On pourrait relire sans cesse le portrait de cette femme diminuée, et toujours en apprendre sur elle. La première partie de La Fin de la nuit est incroyable de nuances, complexités et ressorts psychologiques. Mon coeur a bondi quand j'ai su que Thérèse Desqueyroux avait une suite, et l'épaississement psychologique m'a délecté car je n'en espérai pas tant ! ![]() ![]() ![]() Spock: AA: You once told me that you had an early thought about casting a black man as “Mr. ![]() ![]() Loveless SpockĮarlier in The Star Trek Interview Book, Roddenberry mentions some other possibilities when it comes to early casting ideas for Mr. Speaking of Roddenberry, it’s worth bearing in mind he was known for telling people what they wanted to hear, so it would have been in character for him to chat up Lindsey or Landau or or whoever and flatter each with the idea they were Roddenberry’s first choice for a role. Still, they certainly would have seen each other when Mission: Impossible and Star Trek were in production at adjacent Desilu sound stages. One claim here doesn’t check out-as far as we’ve been able to determine, Landau and Roddenberry never worked together, as stated in the 1994 interview. Landau, I know, was my second choice, but Leonard agreed and we stayed with him. Spock GR: Yes, but he was unavailable for it he was a fairly well-known actor who was getting plenty of jobs. I had him in mind as a possibility.” This is roughly similar to what Roddenberry told Allan Asherman for The Star Trek Interview Book, published in 1988: AA: TV Guide once ran a short blurb about Martin Landau’s being considered for the role of Mr. In an interview published posthumously in 1994, Gene Roddenberry was quoted as saying if Nimoy didn’t work out, “I probably would’ve gotten Marty Landau. ![]() ![]() ![]() "Sundin grounds this suspenseful tale in rich historical detail.

Sarah Sundin’s The Sound of Light is a sweet WWII romance with intrigue and suspense. Her craft is inimitable, and her literary finesse radiates from every page."- Booklist starred review When the Germans march into Denmark, Baron Henrik Ahlefeldt exchanges his nobility for anonymity, assuming a new identity so he can secretly row messages for the Danish Resistance across the waters to Sweden. ![]() ![]() ![]() The people protested and even assaulted his residence, trying to overthrow the democratic government and reestablish the one-party communist leadership once more. Yeltsin democratic reforms were not well-received by the vast majority in 1993. The dissolution of the Soviet Union came at a high cost, and many people living within the borders of the communist regime, found themselves stranded in another country. Masha focuses on events since the early 80s and pays exclusive attention to Putin’s never-ending reign as the President of the Russian Federation. This book casts doubt on the future of Russian Democracy and provides a lot of topics that are yet to be discussed. Masha Gessen is a Russian-American author, LGBT activist and loud critic of both Putin and Trump’s policies and agendas. Nevertheless, we believe that “ The Future is History ” is suitable for all people who criticize dictatorship and abuse of human rights. Perhaps, this book won’t seem too appealing for those who have no interest in politics whatsoever. Stay tuned, for more! Who Should Read “The Future Is History”? And Why? Is the Russian Federation genuinely leaning towards democracy or are we witnessing yet another dictator shooting for the stars? 6 min read ⌚ How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia ![]() ![]() Get the T-shirt design from Cotton Bureau!

In this episode, author, lecturer, and podcaster Conner Habib joins JF and Phil to discuss what is arguably Barker's best-known work, the 1987 horror classic Hellraiser, as well as the novella that inspired it, "The Hellbound Heart." In the decades that followed, he went on to create an astounding body of work in fantasy and horror as a writer, artist, and film director. ![]() In the 1980s, Clive Barker burst onto the cultural scene with The Books of Blood, collections of unforgettable tales of horror, depravity, and decadence the likes of which had been seldom seen since the days of Lautréamont's Les Chants de Maldoror and Huysmans' Là-Bas. ![]() ![]() It was such a good feeling when the concept that I’d had such high hopes for came to life on the page in an exciting, atmospheric way. The idea that people become ‘histories’ when they die and the Archive is a library of the dead, guarded by librarians, seems so simple, but so intriguing. I loved the concept for this book from the moment I first heard about it. The idea that people become ‘histories’ when they die…seems so simple, but so intriguing. ![]() The story follows Mackenzie ‘Mac’ Bishop, a Keeper at the Archive, as she moves to a new apartment with her family and tries to discover why so many histories keep waking up. ![]() The slow-paced start had me worried that I wasn’t going to like the story as much as I wanted to. This book has trigger warnings for violence and the death of a sibling (off-page). ![]() So on the first of July, I picked up my copy of The Archived and read the first few chapters. The main reason for the readalong was to celebrate Victoria Schwab’s books on the run up to the release of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, so we thought a good way to do that would be to read one of her books that neither of us had read before. ![]() So, when Alison and I planned Schwab Readalong, we decided to make it the first book we read. (I know.) It’s Victoria Schwab’s second novel and one of the last few I need to read before I’ve read all of her publised works. Before July 2020, I’d never read The Archived before. ![]() ![]() ![]() When Jesse steps in to help, the mysterious figures all disappear, leaving behind a large sack - a magical bag that will plunge the down-on-his luck songwriter into a thrilling adventure.
