5/13/2023 0 Comments Emma's Table by Philip Galanes![]() ![]() I mean, for real, these are just a few of the many, many examples of the way the author describes this girl: I mean, I know she's a kid, but still - that's hardly the shocking obesity he insists it is. He talks about her like she's just this gargantuan person who has to walk sideways through doors, then later specifies that she's 20 pounds overweight. She is overweight, which you will never, ever forget reading this book because the author insists on mentioning it every single time the girl is brought up. The daughter in question is named Grace and she is a child in elementary school. ![]() But, spoilsport that I am, I had one huge issue with it: The way the author treated the daughter of one of the minor characters. The story itself is okay and I can see that there would be an audience who would eat it up and be intrigued. Emma is just out of prison and is trying to get back to life, and there are personal and professional issues she must work through. The story revolves around Emma, a woman who is clearly inspired by Martha Stewart, Emma's family, and Emma's series of assistants. ![]() Described as "delicious" by Vogue and a "touchingly bittersweet comedy of urban existence" by USA Today, I found it to be neither. ![]()

I struggled through the first couple of hours of this audio book, eventually I realized that I was just not engaged with the story…then i realized that there really was not much of a story here. Let me try to explain what I mean…when one reads the printed word, the content “sticks” better than when one “hears a speech”. I think the problem is that, in this novel, Ray Bradbury writing emphasizes extremely rich imagery…so rich and complex that hearing the words are just not adequate to catch it. While I thought Stephen Hoye sounded good, and I thought the writing was exceptional, this book just did not work in audio format. This book is one of those few novels that just don’t translate well into an audible book.

This the story of Charlie, triumphant subject of a daring experiment on human intelligence. In his memoir, the author recalled how the realization came to him while he was waiting for the subway to whisk him from Brooklyn to classes in Manhattan: My education is driving a wedge between. This is the story of Charlie, subnormal floor sweeper at Donner’s Bakery and the gentle butt of everyone’s jokes. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments Tyomiehen vaimo![]() ![]() Wrote in an autobiographical piece for the Norwegian journal Samtiden "From my infance I was the apple of my father's eye " Canth Worker at the Finlayson cotton factory, where he rose in the positionįoreman.

Seeing the pages of the novel The Celestine Prophecy come to life on the big screen was interesting to watch. Hearing their backgrounds and all the work that had brought The Celestine Prophecy to fruition gave me a greater appreciation for their process. We had the opportunity to hear responses from those who have now given birth to the idea twith which they had been pregnant. We viewers had the honor of engaging in a live discussion with some of the major key players of The Celestine Prophecy: Author/Screenwriter James Redfield, Executive Producer Salle Merrill Redfield, Lead Actor Matthew Settle, Producer/Screenwriter Barnet Bain, and Director Armand Mastroianni. I found my seat among some of my co-workers and became filled with excitement.
