![]() ![]() ![]() At the quarter-century mark, he decided to become a writer but it took him a decade to get established. Sedaris, who keeps a notebook by his side, was not an overnight success. “I’ve always had so much to write about,” Sedaris said. Most of the material from his breezy books are inspired by his family life. Sedaris was elevated from obscurity to the upper echelon of the literary world due to his primarily autobiographical work. Sedaris, 65, is also self-deprecating, charming and most of all, real. The North Carolina native, who will do a reading Saturday at the Bing Crosby Theater, is very popular on the circuit, since he’s an entertaining orator in addition to being a wonderful writer. “I had a wonderful mother and my dad was, well, different.” “I had so much to endure during childhood,” Sedaris said. It’s a cathartic exercise for Sedaris, who works through years of anger and pain by writing about an experience that some, unfortunately, can relate to due to being raised in a similar fashion. The collection of essays are captivating. “Happy-Go-Lucky,” Sedaris’ latest page turner, hit shelves in May and was inspired by his abusive father, Lou, who passed away at 98 in 2021. David Sedaris often hits readers with a tsunami of reality with his provocative books. ![]() A shard of reality is often the basis of great entertainment, whether it’s music, theater or literature. ![]()

It was a death that shook the world as one of Canada’s cherished sons died in his home in Los Angeles, survived by his two children and three grandchildren. This album is Cohen’s career tied into a beautiful bow it provides peace to the man who would soon die on Nov. “You Want it Darker” shines as a phenomenal album is in its ability to return the catharsis to its songwriter. Throughout his career as a songwriter and poet, Cohen opened doors to life’s tackles: war, depression, drug use, sexual tension, love and religion in ways that listening becomes a sort of catharsis rather than torment. ![]() 21, 2016, when Leonard Cohen released his latest album “You Want it Darker.” The subject matter of the album dealt with various themes of death, peace and love as if at the age of 82, Cohen knew his mortality was nearing its end. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I knew this offering would be graceful in language, meticulous in form, and rich in narrative. ![]() Like all devoted fans of contemporary greats, I longed for whatever Fatimah would send out into the world - she ain’t no half-steppin’ GOAT. I have been patiently waiting ever since. More than two years ago when “Got Game” dropped, our former editor-in-chief Kamala interviewed Fatimah, and I learned about this novel-in-progress. Lines of her poems have held me on my hardest days and, some days, I rewatch her short creative work (like Brown Girls and her short film, “Got Game”) and find myself cackling and talking back to my screen. As a younger queer not-yet-writer in the mid-’10s, I stumbled across her spoken word on YouTube after meeting some of her homies at Furious Flower. I have been a fan of Fatimah’s for a while. If this review (and your subsequent reading) of When We Were Sisters will be your introduction to Fatimah Asghar’s work - welcome, fam. A queer Muslim poet, filmmaker, and creator of Brown Girls, Fatimah Asghar is a force in whatever she does. “Gone” is where Fatimah Asghar’s When We Were Sisters invites us to join orphans Kausar, Aisha, and Noreen in their journey of grief, growing up, and what comes after the loss of all you knew to be true and good. Once upon a time their father was gone.” - Fatimah Asghar, When We Were Sisters (2022), p. Once upon a time, they lived in a castle, up high. Once upon a time, there were three sisters.

There is enough total climbing to really create fatigue and the final climb features hard gradients. If the GC riders do fight for a win he has the sprint to fight for a win with no doubt. Otherwise it's just a tough finale where he has to keep everyone under eye. ![]() Primoz Roglic - Roglic's job, despite being behind in the GC, is to keep up with Evenepoel if he attacks. An ordinary rider would likely take it conservative, however he's clearly in great form and could try to repeat his Vuelta performance where he attacked the first week hard. That hasn't really been the case so far however, it may not make much difference. Logic would dictate that he wants to give away pink so that Quick-Step don't have to be in the head of the peloton.

The inquisitive and disruptive potential of Los Sangurimas lies its communication of different ways of understanding a fragmented reality in which multiple languages converge with different perceptions of the world and notions of civilization and barbarism. ![]() The coincidences and, above all, the differences between this novel and these three literary streams will demonstrate the originality of Los Sangurimas and show how the author incorporates elements of the montubio culture in form and content in a transcultural manner. This paper aims to reveal the complexity of the novel by comparing it with certain central features of said genres, as well as the pioneering theories of Alejo Carpentier on American magical realism. Although the work is framed by the literary genres of social realism and the "novela de la tierra", it seeks to translate a world in which myth and orality are part of everyday reality. ![]() ![]() ![]() In this touching conversation, Tara shares her inspiration for her new book, Glow in the F*cking Dark, and how she has lived the mission of building a nurturing home within herself, even when life presents challenges. ![]() Solomon’s guest on this episode is Tara Schuster, an accomplished entertainment executive turned mental health advocate and best-selling author. ![]() |
