![]() ![]() ‘In several cases, these literary references connect Christie’s own explorations of the nature of evil and justice in the late novels with two periods in which writers created chilling plays about evil and its consequences: ancient Greece and Jacobean England’ (Knepper, 2005: para 29).Īs part of the Tuesday Night Bloggers I have already written a piece on my blog about Miss Marple and classical allusions and therefore Greek Tragedy, so this piece is going to focus purely on the role of Jacobean tragedy in Christie’s novels. ![]() This reminded me of my own researches I did into Christie a few years ago and came across the idea of Christie being influenced or aligning herself with attitudes voiced in Greek and Jacobean tragedy, Macbeth being an example of such a text. In his post he comments on the reoccurrence of allusions to Shakespeare’s Macbeth (1611/1623) in Christie’s work, popping up not only in The Pale Horse, but also in By the Pricking of my Thumbs (1968), Hercule Poirot’s Christmas (1938), The Hollow (1946) and A Caribbean Mystery (1964). ![]() ![]() I was inspired to write this post after reading Brad Friedman’s own post on Agatha Christie’s The Pale Horse (1961) at his wonderful blog: ahsweetmysteryblog. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Writing genre fiction as well, she is no stranger to science-fiction and fantasy too, creating vast and expansive worlds that draw her readers in, keeping them there continually hooked throughout. ![]() Interweaving both humor and romance, she takes a very down-to-earth look at what makes humans tick and what it is that motivates them individually. Generating publicity worldwide, she has managed to build an audience that is also expanding exponentially, with more and more discovering her work all the time. An American writer, the novelist Alyssa Rose Ivy is a well respected writer who has been making an impact upon the literary industry for quite some time now, with a vast backlog of work that’s continually growing day-by-day. ![]() ![]() ![]() And Daniel Sharman is in the show! Count me in! Add to that the fact that it’s already going to be a Netflix series! I caught the panel at New York Comic Con earlier this month and my excitement grew after seeing the first stills from the series projected on the screen. When I heard about Cursed at this year’s Book Expo, I couldn’t help but be excited, because it sounded amazing – a retelling of Arthurian legend from the point of view of Nimue, peppered throughout by art in Frank Miller’s iconic style. Optioned as a Netflix series (currently in production) before even being published, Cursed tells the story of Arthur from Nimue’s perspective. There have been many reimaginings of Arthurian legends over the years (we at The Geekiary are rather big fans of BBC’s Merlin), but none of them quite take the stance that Tom Wheeler and Frank Miller’s Cursed does. ![]() ![]() ![]() It was actually fairly good, though the prologue wasn’t a brilliant start for drawing you in. The twist being that Ariel never defeated Ursula. Part of Your World, of course, covers The Little Mermaid. I’ve noted that the books often point out flaws, such as how ridiculous it was to fall in love in a really short space of time. Where the others utterly change the ending of the film, Reflection slipped in a new story between the events on the mountain and arriving at the Emperors palace, meaning that the ending of the story would have actually happened the same. ![]() They really are twisted versions, completely removing the perfect Disney element of a story. It seemed to move slowly but was interesting. A Whole New World felt like hard work, then Once Upon a Dream was the same. ![]() As Old as Time was the first I ever read and found fairly enjoyable, though it was a strange new experience. My own relationship with the series has been mixed. Disney own the rights and commission writers for each book. This is the fifth book in the series, but only the fourth written by Liz Braswell, as Reflection, a retelling of Mulan, was written by Elizabeth Lim. The Twisted Tales books are not linked into one another, so it doesn’t matter what order you read them in. ![]() Each book takes the title of a song in the film it is retelling and which is relevant to the Twisted Tale. Lets recap a few background details: The Twisted Tales are a set of books retelling the plots of Disney films had certain things happened differently. ![]() ![]() ![]() Dear young writers, write with dignity, not in guilt. Do not be ashamed to grieve about personal things. In The Idiot, she has heeded the rallying cry she issued in n+1: 'Write long novels, pointless novels.

As idiosyncratic Hungarians continue to materialize, it begins to feel as though Batuman is giving us an object lesson in distinguishing between the tastefully modest craft of fiction and the ungainly ambition of literature. But this integration isn’t simply an intellectual process it’s what happens in all coming-of-age stories. In Batuman’s view, integrating the new and the familiar, the personal and the canonical, is precisely what the novel ought to do. A loose, baggy monster, full of irrelevant garbage and needless words - and all the richer for it - the book implicitly makes an argument for what a twenty-first-century novel might be. ![]() ![]() ![]() Also, without a diagnosis code from the DSM-5, providers cannot bill insurance companies, including Medicare and Medicaid, if they do treat it. Instead, currently, only PTSD appears in the DSM-5, leaving providers of mental health care without any guidance on how to diagnose the disorder. It may be that the problem with finding care for CPTSD is that it is not listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Edition five (DSM-5). This lack of available care ties down many people and leaves the suffering alone or with confused and hurt family members. However, trying to find a mental health professional who handles the complex nature of CPTSD is not just tricky for many, it seems impossible. Among those, millions of people are a large number of folks who have CPTSD. The American Psychological Association states that approximately 5.2 million people living in the United States between the ages of 18-54 have post-traumatic stress disorder. ![]() Also, at the end of this piece, CPTSD Foundation will have a special announcement. This article will examine where to look and give you some names of clinicians who do treat complex post-traumatic stress disorder so that you might contact them for a referral. While there are tons of clinicians who received training in post-traumatic stress disorder, few have even heard of CPTSD, and some do not believe it exists. If you live with complex post-traumatic stress disorder or love someone who does, you are aware of how difficult it is to find a therapist who understands the disorder. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s the natural and most high-impact introduction to the Vorkoisgan universe. Instead of starting with Falling Free, which takes place 200 years before Miles’s birth, I recommend starting with Shards of Honor and Barrayar, the two action packed novels that tell the story of how Cordelia and Aral, Miles’s (super badass!) parents met.The reading order I ended up with is basically internal chronological, with a few minor changes, which, in my opinion, make all the difference in terms of optimal reading enjoyment. After I gobbled down all the Miles books available, I switched to reading the new ones as soon as they came out.

The Golden Age has become an Age of Heroes – men and women who grasp their destinies, use their human qualities of courage, cunning, ambition, speed and strength to perform astonishing deeds, vanquish terrible monsters and establish great cultures and lineages that change the world. The fire is real and hot in the world and has given mankind the power to smelt, forge, fabricate and make, but it is an inner fire too thanks to Prometheus we are now endowed with the divine spark, the creative fire, the consciousness that once belonged only to gods. In the age we have entered now, the gods are still very much around, favouring, disfavouring, directing and disturbing, but Prometheus’s gift of fire has given humankind the ability to run its own affairs, build up its distinct city states, kingdoms and dynasties. But over time, as age has succeeded age and humankind has grown and prospered, the intensity of these interrelations has slowly diminished. In the early days of gods and men, the divine trod the earth with mortals, befriended them, ravished them, coupled with them, punished them, tormented them, transformed them into flowers, trees, birds and bugs and in all ways interacted, intersected, intertwined, interbred, interpenetrated and interfered with us. Duties and domains in the mortal sphere are parcelled out to his family, the other ten Olympian gods. ![]() |
