This takes shape in the story of the novel, which follows a young girl and her robot as they travel west across the United States. Ultimately, he focused on grunge music and Nirvana, which allowed him to tell a story about a young girl. For The Electric State, he started with 90s music. Whenever he creates a concept for a new project, Stalenhag always starts with music. It always felt natural to mix them together." In an interview with, Stalenhag said that "It’s like I wanted to do two projects-one science fiction and one landscape-but I didn’t have time, so I had to combine them. Combining his newfound skills with his interests in landscapes, wildlife, and science fiction, an art style for his novel The Electric Statewas born. During his stint in the video game industry, Stalenhag learned how to create science fiction imagery. But Stalenhag had always been fascinated with things that he saw in his everyday life: sweeping vistas, beautiful landscapes, chirping birds, and wildlife (among many other things). Prior to writing novels, author Simon Stalenhag focused solely on graphic design in the video game industry.

This set of the very first books in the series will be a welcome gift for readers new to the series. It riffs on the myth of Geryon, a small winged red monster who falls in love with Herakles when the divine hero comes to kill him. I am completely awe-struck and humbled by Anne Carson’s mind. I was drawn to Autobiography of Red for its dark lyricism and stylistic acrobatics, because out of this pours a musicality of language and image that students could roll around in for a long time. This project served as a great performance text for devising and problem solving for students of the BA performance program at the University of Minnesota. Geryon is an Everyman Freak for anyone who has felt like an “other”, and is learning about love for others, love for his art, and love for himself. It is not a morality tale or feel-good journey of empowerment, but a love story. The novella is raw and unsettling, just like the teenage years for pretty much everyone. Autobiography of Red is a universal coming-of-age story about the search for self-expression and identity. During her teenage years, Jeanne feels that the best way to fit in and feel “American” is to distance herself from her Japanese roots it’s only at the end of high school, when she has achieved grudging acceptance from her peers, that Jeanne realizes fitting in isn’t enough to satisfy her. Over the course of the memoir, Jeanne comes of age, developing from an adventurous and inquisitive child to a driven student trying to find her niche in a postwar society still permeated by prejudice against Asian Americans. Jeanne’s feelings of deep love for her family contrast with her increasing inability to depend on them as the crisis of internment distracts their attention and depletes their emotional strength. Jeanne narrates the details of life at Manzanar in a simple and brisk style, underscoring her curious and unsentimental nature, as well as her extreme youth during the experience. The memoir’s writer and protagonist, a Japanese-American girl who is interned with her family at the Manzanar camp at age seven.

It was so hard to pick which covers I was going to add! And just because I didn't add a cover to this post, doesn't mean I don't like it. (I only added a few book covers to this post because if I added all of them, this post would be waaay too long. :)Īlso, these are not the only books I'm going to want to read this year! Just the ones that at the moment I know about! (And the ones that I remembered to add to this list!) :) If a release date is not accurate, I apologize. except for books where I was not able to find an exact day, and I just listed them at the bottom of one of the lists below. It was helpful to me for helping me keep track of what books I was looking forward to reading and when they released each month! I also got a very good response from people about the post, with them saying they found out about books from the post to add to their TBR lists! (Made me happy to hear that!) And I thought it would be fun to do another post this year! :)īooks listed by Middle Grade Debut, YA Debut, Middle Grade, and YA. Last January I listed what Middle Grade and YA books I was looking forward to reading in 2015, in order of release date. Four years later, Donald Trump was caught on video bragging about sexually assaulting women, and won.Īs it turns out, Romney’s binders full of women weren’t just a ham-fisted metaphor. “I went to a number of women’s groups and said, ‘Can you help us find folks?’ and they brought us whole binders full of women.” The awkward comment didn’t go over well, spawning a thematic novelty Tumblr account and many a Halloween costume that fall before Romney eventually lost the election. “We a concerted effort to find women that could be qualified to become members of our Cabinet,” Romney said during the second presidential debate, in response to a question about gender inequality in the workplace. During that year’s presidential campaign, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, then the Republican presidential nominee, ignited a minor political scandal when he bragged that he had “binders full of women” that he used to hire qualified female candidates. It is remarkable, in retrospect, what passed for a gaffe in 2012. It's very true that weird, seemingly mystical things do go on at the tiny scale of the atom where quantum physics operates. Their pronouncements on quantum mechanics are no more valid than mine would be if I suddenly set out to perform delicate surgery. Robert Lanza or a New Age/Alternative Medicine guru like Depak Chopra is not a particle physicist. I wish I had not written the review above, but I'll let it stand as mute warning to be careful of lay interpretations of science. That's what I said before reading extensively in physics and cosmology and before watching so many charlatans and the honest but misguided people duped by them try to sell Woo-Woo in place of solid science. "Science does not need mysticism and mysticism does not need science, but man needs both." The author's own words in the epilogue sum it up nicely. Rather, it is a fascinating mental adventure showing the ways the two schools of thought often developed in parallel and came to similar conclusions from very different beginning points. Nor is this book a deep exploration of Taoism or other Eastern Religious Philosophy. Don't look to Capra for a highly disciplined discourse on particle physics or the nature of cosmology.
