![]() ![]() But the weird fascination of Please Look After Mom is its message - completely alien to our own therapeutic culture - that if one's mother is miserable, it is indeed, the fault of her husband and her ungrateful children. To give it its due, Shin's novel, which was translated from the Korean by Chi-Young Kim, is marked by a wistful tone and by some precisely-rendered scenes of emotional disconnect between a mother and the adult children who've grown apart from her. ![]() They, too, must share a weakness for melodramas about maternal self-sacrifice, although Please Look After Mom outsniffles even those immortal weepies of the western canon, Stella Dallas and Mildred Pierce. ![]() The back cover of the American edition, brought out by Knopf, is filled with blurbs by heavyweights like Gary Shteyngart and Edwidge Danticat. ![]() How else to explain why Please Look After Mom, a new novel by Korean novelist Kyung-sook Shin, has already sold over one-million copies in her native South Korea? This literary phenom is scheduled to be published in 22 other countries and has just come out in the U.S. Mama Mia, who knew that Koreans outstrip Italians and Jews when it comes to mother guilt! ![]()

He was a dark - yet much more visually playful - counterpart to Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon. ![]() He had but one mission in life: to protect the innocent throughout the Solar System, and to punish the guilty. Spacehawk had no secret identity, no fixed base of operations beyond his spaceship, and no sidekicks or love interests. Spacehawk is the closest thing to a colorfully-costumed, conventional action hero Wolverton ever created, yet the strip is infused with Wolverton's quintessential weirdness: controlled, organic artwork of strangely repulsive aliens and monsters and bizarre planets, and stories of gruesome retribution that bring to mind Wolverton's peer, Fletcher Hanks. The wait is over, as Spacehawk features every story from Spacehawk's intergalactic debut in 1940 to his final, Nazi-crushing adventure in 1942. Though he is best known for his humorous grotesqueries in MAD magazine, it is his science-fiction character Spacehawk that Wolverton fans have most often demanded be collected. ![]() 274-Pages!

An essay titled “The Real History of Slavery” presents a jolting re-examination of that tragic institution and the narrow and distorted way it is too often seen today… Black Rednecks & White Liberals is the capstone of decades of outstanding research and writing on racial and cultural issues by Thomas Sowell. It presents eye-opening insights into the historical development of the ghetto culture that is today wrongly seen as a unique black identity - a culture cheered on toward self-destruction by white liberals who consider themselves “friends” of blacks. ![]() In a series of long essays, this book presents an in-depth look at key beliefs behind many mistaken and dangerous actions, policies, and trends. Plainly written, powerfully reasoned and backed with a startling array of documented facts, Black Rednecks and White Liberals takes on not only the trendy intellectuals of our times but also such historic interpreters of American life as Alexis de Tocqueville and Frederick Law Olmsted. ![]() This explosive new book challenges many of the long-prevailing assumptions about blacks, about Jews, about Germans, about slavery, and about education. ![]() ![]() ![]() THE SAFEHOLD SERIES Earth has been left in smoldering ruins.

Supposedly the latter installments are slower paced, but I will keep listening until it stops being fun. I thought the beginning was hard to get through and could be better relayed to the reader through flasbacks, but once they they get to the current timeline it is much more interesting. I like a lot of the central ideas behind the series and questions it raises. My library finally got the downloadable audiobooks so I gave this series another try and it is going much better! I am about halfway through the first one. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sounds like a pretty straightforward deal…but soon Taryn and Trey realize they got more than they bargained for. ![]() When he hears of Taryn’s situation, he offers her a deal – if she falsely claims he’s her true mate and allows him to claim her, he’ll save her from her arranged mating and then let her leave after the battle with his uncle is over. There’s only one problem with that – he would then be stuck with her, and the last thing Trey wants is a mate. He figures that the easiest way to do that would be to mate with a female who’s Alpha is powerful and influential. Now that his uncle – a wolf with many alliances – means to take Trey’s territory and his pack, he has no option but to form some alliances of his own very quickly or he’ll be easily outnumbered in the upcoming battle. Having always disliked shifter politics, Trey Coleman hadn’t bothered trying to form alliances with other packs. ![]() ![]() As the answer in this case is yes, it looks as though she’ll have to agree to Trey Coleman’s deal…she’ll have to mate with him instead. Basically it comes down to whether she’ll do what it takes to escape the arranged mating with the sick SOB that her father set up. Unfortunately, Taryn Warner, a latent wolf shifter, doesn’t have many options open to her right now. If your inner wolf and your body react rather enthusiastically to a psychotic Alpha male who’s own wolf has a tendency to turn feral, it can’t be a good thing, can it? Entering into a bargain with him wouldn’t be good either. ![]() |
