The night tiger review6/12/2023 ![]() ![]() Throughout the book, Choo focuses on the superstitions based on chinese numbers, as well the folklore of weretigers. I loved Choo’s descriptions of clothing from Ji Lin’s point of view, and how she showed England’s rule and influence over the culture of Malay. This makes for a rich and cultural setting, and I loved reading about the different languages spoken and the foods eaten. ![]() I love that the book is set in 1930’s colonial Malay, now modern Malaysia. Their lives come together when Ji Lin finds a severed finger and tries to figure out where to return it. Ren is an eleven-year-old houseboy who recently switched masters due to his old master’s death. Ji Lin is the apprentice of a dressmaker who is also secretly a dance-hall girl. It follows two main characters: Ji Lin and Ren. The Night Tiger is a fascinating blend of magical realism, historical fiction, romance, and murder mystery. ![]()

Death in Her Hands by Ottessa Moshfegh6/11/2023 ![]() Whatever the opposite of Occam’s razor is, Vesta’s detective work is it: After some web searching on how mystery writers do their work, she surmises that Magda was a Belarussian teen sent to the United States to work at a fast-food restaurant, staying in the basement of a woman whose son, Blake, committed the murder. Call the police? Too easy: Instead, Vesta allows herself to be consumed with imagining what Magda might have been like and the circumstances surrounding her murder. Walking her dog through the nearby woods, she sees a note lying on the ground which says that a woman named Magda has been killed "and here is her dead body," but there's no body there or any sign of violence. Vesta, the extremely unreliable narrator of Moshfegh’s fourth novel ( My Year of Rest and Relaxation, 2018, etc.), is a 72-year-old widow who’s recently purchased a new home, a cabin on a former Girl Scout camp. A note suggesting a woman has been killed in the woods captures the imagination of an elderly woman, with alarming intensity. ![]()

![]() Getting a screenshot of a short story is, um… well here’s a photo of the book I guess. But first, I need to grab an old book from my shelf. I browsed it quickly and saw a familiar name: Beyond the Aquila Rift. ![]() This changed when I got an email from them, including an episode list. Maybe it’s the strong “NSFW!” marketing Netflix is pushing, but I wasn’t that interested in it from the get-go. ![]() 18 short science fiction films, from 6 to 20 minutes long each, exploring the themes in the anthology title. If you walk in any of the same circles as I, you’ve likely heard about Netflix’s new animated anthology, Love Death + Robots. Today we’ll be taking up way too much space to look into the short film, Beyond the Aquila Rift, and compare it to the 2005 short story of the same name by Alastair Reynolds. What did they change that worked? What did they not change that they could have? What made it tick? Time to take a deep dive and find out. ![]() So when I found out that a short story I enjoy was turned into a short film, I checked it out… and found myself in the middle. You’ve all heard it before: “The book was better!” countered by a smaller but no less vocal, “The book sucked, the film streamlined the story and made it so much better!” (Okay, a much smaller group there, but still.) Middle ground is hard to find, it seems. There’s a general narrative that goes around the internet when any adaptation, particularly book-to-film, drops. ![]()

Author of left behind series6/11/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() LaHaye extended his influence by founding Christian high schools, San Diego Christian College and a church in the Atlanta area, along with helping establish the Institute for Creation Research, which rejects evolution and contends God created the Earth recently in six literal days. Jenkins called LaHaye a “spiritual giant.” Still, his books strongly shaped evangelical views of Jesus’ Second Coming and popularized the ideas to the broader public. ![]() Some fellow conservative Christians pushed back against LaHaye’s end-times views, known as premillennial dispensationalism, emphasizing that the books were fictional and should not be read as an exact theological interpretation of the Bible. After 1981, he devoted himself to writing, promoting his view of Bible prophecy, family life seminars and political activism. After leading churches in South Carolina and Minnesota, he moved to Southern California and for a quarter-century led a thriving congregation that eventually became Shadow Mountain Community Church in El Cajon. ![]()

On Fascism by Matthew C. Macwilliams6/10/2023 ![]() A University of Massachusetts Amherst expert in authoritarianism, Matthew MacWilliams demonstrates with a rich review of US history how fragile (and still flawed) our system is. By showing the failures of the past and the present, this accessible, alarming, and insightful work is a much needed reality check and counterweight to the resurgent extremism of our times." -Brian Baird, PhD and former congressman for Washington's 3rd district "This is a very scary book - and one that every citizen who wants America to remain a democracy needs to read. ![]() As MacWilliams shows, authoritarian demagogues and a frightening portion of the public have always been willing and eager to tear away the balance pole of reason and push democracy into the abyss. ![]() Loeb University Professor, Harvard University, and author of To End a Presidency "It is comforting to assume our nation is built on a secure foundation that protects our right to 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.' But far from being on solid ground, we are instead walking a precarious tightrope with no net except our better angels. The twelve lessons in On Fascism draws from American history and brilliantly complement those of Timothy Snyder's On Tyranny. "To prevent the ravages of fascism, it's essential to understand its roots in our national character and experience. ![]() |
