In the movie, the family sits “shiva” for a week, and the whole drama occurs in this time frame. The story unfolds at a religious ceremony in Judaism, i.e., “sitting shiva,” which is a period of mourning where the deceased person’s loved ones heal emotionally and spiritually. The movie is inspired by the eponymous novel by Jonathan Tropper, who also wrote the screenplay. No, ‘This Is Where I Leave You’ is not based on a true story.

"Brown's literary skills shine from start to finish. With a steely, unfaltering gaze, Natasha Brown dismantles the mythology of whiteness, lining up the debris in a neat row and walking away. And it is about one woman daring to take control of her own story, even at the cost of her life. As the minutes tick down and the future beckons, she can't escape the question: is it time to take it all apart? Assembly is a story about the stories we live within - those of race and class, safety and freedom, winners and losers. At the same time, she is considering the carefully assembled pieces of herself. She is preparing to attend a lavish garden party at her boyfriend's family estate, set deep in the English countryside. The narrator of Assembly is a black British woman.

There are two stories with Asian settings for instance, not something many American science fiction writers without an Asian background have attempted. Many of the themes that would show up in his later novel. It must be said that it is a seriously depressing set of stories though. This collection displays Bacigalupi's talent. Having read it, I was nut surprised that Bacigalupi's first novel The Windup Girl (2009) turned out to be such a success. The title story is original to the collection, the others have been published in various magazines and anthologies over the years. Pump Six and Other Stories was published by Night Shade Books and collects ten stories (eleven if you have the limited edition) from the period 1999 till 2008. My first exposure to Paolo Bacigalupi's work was the story The People of Sand and Slag, which has been included in John Joseph Adams' excellent anthology Wastelands: Stories of th Apocalypse(2008.) Soon after I had the opportunity to read Bacigalupi's first collection for review. She was appointed a Distinguished Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in the 2002 New Year Honours, for services to children's literature and book illustration. In 1999, she became the ninth recipient of the Margaret Mahy Award. In 1990, Dodd was awarded the New Zealand 1990 Commemoration Medal.

Champollion, swept up in the political chaos of Restoration France and fiercely opposed to the scholars aligned with throne and altar, admired ancient Egypt and was prepared to upend conventional wisdom to solve the mystery of the hieroglyphs. Young disdained Egyptian culture and saw Egyptian writing as a means to greater knowledge about Greco-Roman antiquity. Buchwald and Josefowicz paint compelling portraits of Young and Champollion, two gifted intellects with altogether different motivations. Much more than a decoding exercise centered on a single artifact, the race to decipher the Rosetta stone reflected broader disputes about language, historical evidence, biblical truth, and the value of classical learning. Jed Buchwald and Diane Greco Josefowicz bring to life a bygone age of intellectual adventure. This book draws on fresh archival evidence to provide a major new account of how the English polymath Thomas Young and the French philologist Jean-François Champollion vied to be the first to solve the riddle of the Rosetta. So begins one of the most familiar tales in Egyptology-that of the Rosetta stone and the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs. In 1799, a French officer was rebuilding the defenses of a fort on the banks of the Nile when he discovered an ancient stele fragment bearing a decree inscribed in three different scripts. The legendary rivalry behind the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs In the process, impromptu sermons on the true meaning of soul are delivered in delightfully offhand fashion (``soul is lifting yourself up, soul is dusting yourself off''). This cheeky first novel by a Dublin native, punctuated with Irish obscenities and quotes from soul classics, informed by righteous working-class anger and youthful alienation, offers the entertaining and insightful chronicle of The Commitment's rise and inevitable fall. Obsessed with James Brown, Percy Sledge and other rhythm-and-blues greats from across the ocean, young Jimmy Rabbitte organizes the ``world's hardest working band,'' made up of fellow Dubliners, and sets out to teach the town a lesson about soul. ``Dublin soul'' is what the lads call it. |
