I came into contact with two faculty members, Bernard Cohn and Ronald Inden, who inspired my shift away from Europe, and towards anthropology and South Asian studies. (This was in the late 1980s, when Foucault, Said, and postcolonial theory were very much on the ascendant.) It just so happened that the University of Chicago was among the more important institutions in the United States for South Asia scholarship. I was fascinated by European history in high school, and decided to major in it at the University of Chicago, where I went to college. I have an odd relationship to disciplinary history. ![]() ![]() When did you first develop an interest in history?

For example, though a fictional character, Lord Darlington is loosely based on English aristocrats and serves as a representation of the English aristocracy as an entirety that might have been associated with the Reich. The novel's characters are also reflective on Ishiguros intentional manipulation of history. The novel is brimming with plenty of factual historical events and content, and multiple instances in which these may be manipulated to thicken the plot. One of the most imperative post-modern elements exhibited through out the novel is that of the manipulation of factual historical events. ![]() ![]() Through his apparent utilization of these key elements, it becomes evident that Ishiguro's primary intentions laid with creating a novel that would effectively represent the post-modern movement. Serving as the quintessential novel, Remains of the Day manifests various elements that exhibit post-modern intentions. ![]() ![]() ![]() Read more Skip carousel Comics & Graphic Novels Language English Publisher Image Comics, Inc.

The brothers' life story and how the years treat them is so moving and well told, it's like seeing poetry. Few comic books leave me feel like I've been punched in the gut but this one destroyed me. I'll be honest, this book is devastating. The story is told from the perspective of Lou, now deaf and aged in his eighties, looking back on his life story like a ghost, hovering in the background. The two brothers, once inseparable, are torn apart by their shared love of Beth and don't speak for 25 years. Lou tries to make it in hockey, breaks his knee, and becomes a tram driver. Vince is the talented one but leaves the sport in his prime to marry his girlfriend Beth, start a family, and work on a farm. The story is about two brothers, Lou and Vince LeBeuf, who aspire to play pro hockey. ![]() ![]() ![]() I’ve known of this title’s existence for a few years now, and was overjoyed to learn that it was getting an English translation. It's fun! The two guys are kinda goofy and having a good time. It's pretty funny and in a way, thoughtful, though it's not deep or harsh, ever. ![]() It's more of a satirical commentary on contemporary pop culture, in which the two roommates fully engage in in all its superficial fun: Blogging, watching shows online, buying flashy stuff no one needs, and occasionally making light commentary on it all. It's hard to see how it is it could truly offend anyone, as it is not harshly critical of religion. But the popularity kept growing and I think around 2016 it began to be translated, and in 2019 a first volume became available. I had heard about this manga series, which I find began in 2006, was approached about English translation in 2010 and turned down as the Japanese publishers thought it might offend Western audiences. So, Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Gautama Buddha, the Enlightened One, decide to take a "gap year" from being spiritual leaders and move into this apartment in the Tokyo suburbs. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Had I read the aforementioned novel many of the new characters and magics would not in fact have been new material. Arcanum Unbound is also the only book in the Cosmere that I haven’t read, and believe me, I will be promptly correcting this oversight. And while I loved every minute of this read, I definitely missed out on key connections and Easter Eggs both from the few works in the Cosmere I haven’t read yet and the general forgetfulness that comes with time away from a literary world. It has been since 2018 since I’d last enjoyed Wayne’s ceaseless banter and it took quite a while to get back into the groove of the Mistborn Saga. So to clarify, this review will contain an ample amount of unabashed fangirling. At this point, I don’t know how I have any doubt left, with each novel getting better and better. Every time I read a new book by Sanderson I’m equally excited for new material and terrified that it won’t live up to the lofty expectations his work has cultivated. ![]() ![]() ![]() But since everyone is born with some notion of what is good or bad, fine or shameful, right or wrong, each one acts according to his own private impressions as if he knew all. Trained men are unanimous in ideas such as right angles and halftones, to which the ignorant lay no claim. ![]() Philosophy begins, for Epictetus, when one realizes the enormous confusion among men about right and happy living.
