Oh, and of course there is the night: her dark currents caress our faces. The concrete items that never destabilize. Perhaps the commonplace street still remains amid man’s fealty to materiality. Perhaps some tree still stands on a hillside, which we can study with our ordinary vision. That we are all aliens in this metaphorical existence.

I was mixed for a moment about this-it’s a lot to imagine your face at book stores and all over the internet for ages to come, but especially your face associated with a word like “sick!” Then it seemed to make sense to me, when I remembered how many selfies-before they were called “selfies!”-I had taken during my sickest years. Do you do some play on Lyme? (At one point a lime green cover was an option to which I yelped, please no!) Hospital paraphernalia? Meds? Doctors? The one thing the team at HarperPerennial seemed to have decided early on was that it would feature a photo of me. This book would definitely be unlike other books I have written or would write. ![]() But for this third book of mine, Sick: A Memoir, we had a real dilemma on my hands. On my second novel, for the hardcover, I even got my friend the renowned Iranian artist Ali Banisadr to give us a detail from a mural for the cover.

Survival is largely based on the availability of autumn-winter tree seeds. The average lifespan of a squirrel is 2-6 years in the wild. There are documented instances of squirrels remembering human beings.ĥ. Squirrels are extremely intelligent animals with superb memories. In winter their fur grows thicker to keep them warm and they are able to use their tail as shelter from the rain.Ĥ. Squirrels are active all year round and are very good at adapting to warm and cold temperatures. They also love chowing down on different kinds of fruit and are even known to eat bark and sap!ģ. A squirrel’s diet consists mainly of nuts, fungi and berries. They can be found in the hollow of a tree or even in an attic or barn if the opportunity arises.Ģ. Squirrels are den builders, and they build their dens (or ‘dreys’) out of twigs and branches. Read on to find out all about the secret life of squirrels…ġ. Sure, they bury nuts and steal bird feed, but we’re willing to bet there’s a thing or two about these beloved animals that you didn’t know. Ever wondered what squirrels get up to when nobody is around? They may be one of the most common garden critters in the UK, but squirrels are remarkable rodents and are full of surprises. ![]() ![]() ![]() How did you navigate the task of honoring Holmes’s reputation, and thus winning over Sherlockians, while still adding your own style?įrankly I would never have set out to write these if I weren't obsessed with Doyle's language and characters. One of us (Autumn) is a Sherlock Holmes devotee. ![]() He wants the world to be a better place. And he's an example of a person who is deeply lonely, and doesn't particularly like other humans, but he has one friend, and that's enough. I think that's a lovely idea. Well, he's fascinating. I think it would be terribly uncomfortable to be Sherlock Holmes. He's too intelligent to rest easily, he observes too much, he deeply empathizes with people (and anyone who can't see that is definitely missing a major part of his character). You have written another book about Holmes, Dust and Shadow. ![]() They're adventure stories that are also about courage and loyalty and forgiveness, written in as close to the original voice as I can. So it's been a long time coming! But I decided to arrange mine chronologically and put all the stories into sections about particular parts of Holmes's and Watson's lives together-friends running around and solving crimes. It's my attempt to recreate the classic Sherlock Holmes mysteries, written over the course of almost ten years now.

We'll focus, however, on how the protagonist as a female being gets consciousness about herself, identity, plight, position, and every aspect of her life in a racist and patriarchal community ![]() ![]() Furthermore, the study could trace a special type of aesthetic mechanism by means of which Walker could portray the protagonist as a triumphant character and worthwhile woman with all her female traits. The writer, therefore, tries to introduce an image of a powerful woman with a strong back identity in face of aggressive and oppressive obstacles. In Walker's perspective, both in life and literature, the rising female consciousness of the womanist character contributes to alter her passivity to activity and make her human action indicative of energetic and aesthetic triumphant voice instead of humiliating silence and that is an aesthetic action by itself. In particular, the study is an attempt to explore how the writer ignites and rises the spark of the rebellious spirit inside the oppressed black woman who is doubly humiliated and marginalized as black and female. Obviously, Walker's book, as a narrative discourse, presents aesthetically various themes like woman abuse, oppression, racism, sexism and male dominance in a patriarchal community. The current paper deals with Alice Walker's well-known novel The Color Purple. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ten years later and it still holds up as an alternate world history where blogging never died. Mira Grant went hard on the virology angle and I was impressed with the level of scientific knowledge she was able to bring to the page.

This edition is new, with the whole trilogy packaged in one big 1000+ page chonker of a book but the story premiered with Feed in 2010.
