6/28/2023 0 Comments Darkness Visible by William Styron![]() The academic research on mental illness at the time was relatively comprehensive, but no one to date had offered the kind of report that Styron gave to the public: a firsthand account of what it’s like to have the monstrous condition overtake you. ![]() Styron may have been startled by the outpouring of mail, but in many ways, it’s easy to understand. “I had not really realized that it was going to touch that kind of a nerve.” It was just by the thousands that the letters came in,” he told Charlie Rose. By the author’s own acknowledgement, the response from readers was unprecedented. ![]() A few months later, he released the essay as a book, augmenting the article with a recollection of when the illness first took hold of him: in Paris, as he was about to accept the 1985 Prix mondial Cino Del Duca, the French literary award. ![]() The piece revealed in unsparing detail how Styron’s lifelong melancholy at once gave way to a seductive urge to end his own life. Twenty-five years ago, in December, 1989, Darkness Visible, William Styron’s account of his descent into the depths of clinical depression and back, appeared in Vanity Fair. ![]() ![]() ![]() They can do pretty much whatever they want, as we increasingly witness through their budgets and other measures they pass. Here’s my point: At most there are 72 people in the House and 30 in the Senate, or 102 people, who are essentially running this state. More importantly, these leaders determine what legislation will be heard and acted upon, as well as which bills never see the light of day. The Senate President Pro Tem and the Speaker name committee chairs and members. The same is true in the House, in which 72 of the 120 members are Republicans and they choose the House Speaker. Since there are 30 Republicans in the 50-member Senate, more members than Democrats, the 30 in the GOP caucus vote in lockstep to select Senate leadership. ![]() It is the people elected by voters in these districts who then select the Senate President Pro Tem or the House Speaker. We elect 120 representatives in the North Carolina House and the ideal number of people in a district is 88,589. We elect 50 State Senators and the ideal average number of people in a Senate district is 212,614. I apologize in advance that the following is a lot of numbers, but please bear with me. My problem is that 102 people are making decisions that don’t represent the majority of people in our state. ![]() A reader asked why I am so insistent that the General Assembly is making the greatest power grab since Reconstruction. ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments The immortal irishman book review![]() ![]() Discovering that the traitor Balfe had been given a land grant, he sent an anonymous series of letters to the press, exposing his perfidy. Meagher was sent to Tasmania, and while he was not put into forced labor, he had limited contact with his fellow Irish. After a fiery speech in Conciliation Hall and a betrayal by John Balfe, the English arrested Meagher and a handful of others for speaking out. During the Great Famine, England exported 1.5 billion pounds of grain as well as more beef than any other colony, while millions starved without the blighted potatoes that sustained them. ![]() The author imparts the desperation of the starving families while pointing to the many wealthy Catholics and Protestants who worked to achieve liberty. He was a natural-born orator, and his gift encouraged his fellow Irish in hopes of freedom sooner, rather than “in time,” as per the Great Liberator, Daniel O’Connell. New York Times columnist Egan ( Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher: The Epic Life and Immortal Photographs of Edward Curtis, 2012, etc.), winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, could have written multiple books about Meagher’s broad successes. ![]() The story of Thomas Meagher (1823-1867), an Irishman radicalized by the famine who became a hero on three continents. ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments Legendborn by Tracy Deonn![]() I can't wait for everyone to visit the Legendborn world, which is not too far off from our own. I was also inspired by the legend of King Arthur, of course, but in particular the way that Susan Cooper extended the legend for her own contemporary fantasy series, the classic "The Dark is Rising Sequence." There are lots of unexplained, magical experiences in my family history, specifically around the women in my family, and I folded these events together with inspiration from African-American folk magic to create Legendborn's #BlackGirlMagic mythology. First and foremost, I was inspired by my own grief journey after the passing of my mother - we often look for stories in loss, and Legendborn is part of the story I told myself. ![]() First and foremost, I was insp …more Hi! Thank you for asking! Legendborn is the result of a handful of personal inspirations colliding in the best of ways. Tracy Deonn Hi! Thank you for asking!

They began ∣ ne to suspect fraude and to smell treason, and not only exhorted but de ∣ terminatly aduysed hym to saue hym selfe by flyght: and when the losse of the battayle was imminent and apparante, they brought to hym a swyfte and a lyght horse to conuey hym awaie. ![]() 6/27/2023 0 Comments Coffin by Yoshitaka Amano![]() We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.

It is difficult to understand why Jack London wrote the novel this way. Henry drops out of the novel, and the scene shifts to the wolf pack and the birth of White Fang. ![]() At the last moment he is rescued as a search party looking for the dead body Henry and Bill were transporting. Henry literally climbs into the fire and begins hurling brands from the fire at the encircling wolves. Finally, one night, the wolves become so brazen that they come right up to the fire to collect their dinner. Henry is left alone and night after night he feels the wolves coming closer and closer. Henry hears three shots, but Bill does not return. ![]() Scared and frustrated, Bill decides one morning to go out with his rifle and three remaining cartridges. London paints quite a portrait of the two men sitting around the campfire, seeing only the eyes of the wolves reflecting the light from the fire. At night, the dogs are individually lured to their deaths by a she-wolf. Two men, Bill and Henry, with a team of six dogs pulling a sled on which is strapped a coffin, are fleeing down a frozen waterway, a wolf pack in pursuit. White Fang opens with a beautifully detailed picture of the Yukon. ![]() |
