Tregaskis’s manuscript describing his time on Guadalcanal, arranged in an easily understood diary format, was sent to the INS offices in New York City in early November 1942. ![]() “That was the way it was with sharp-eyed military censorship in those days.” “And as fast as I could write my manuscript, a naval intelligence officer took my efforts and hacked away with a pencil and a pair of scissors,” Tregaskis reported. Every morning he would go there to work, and every night, his diary was locked in a safe he never got it back and could not find out what happened to it. ![]() In Hawaii, his writing had to be done in the Navy offices at Pearl Harbor, under the supervision of a censor. After leaving Guadalcanal on a B-17 Flying Fortress on September 25, Tregaskis went to New Caledonia, where he was waiting for a military transport plane to take him to Honolulu, and began writing his book. ![]() ![]() ![]() London born and bred but of Nigerian heritage, when he’s not busy cooking up new characters and adventures you can find Dapo running illustration and character design workshops with children or organising events to help highlight the possibilities of a career in illustration to underrepresented members of the Black diaspora.

Lord Ballister Blackheart is a villain with a vendetta. Nimona is an impulsive young shapeshifter with a knack for villainy. Featuring an exclusive epilogue not seen in the web comic, along with bonus conceptual sketches and revised pages throughout, this gorgeous full-color graphic novel has been hailed by critics and fans alike as the arrival of a “superstar” talent (NPR.org). Nemeses! Dragons! Science! Symbolism! All these and more await in this brilliantly subversive, sharply irreverent epic from ND Stevenson. Kirkus says, “If you’re going to read one graphic novel this year, make it this one.” Nimona is the New York Times bestselling graphic novel sensation from ND Stevenson, based on his beloved and critically acclaimed web comic. ![]() 6/25/2023 0 Comments The nose gogol summary![]() ![]() Reacting against all the froofy, poetic Romantic stuff that was all the rage in his day, Gogol made up a whole new genre-what would later be called magical realism. Not only that, but it's actually managed to get to a higher civil service rank than its original owner. When he looks for it, he finds that the nose is now leading its own life as a civil servant. One day, a dude wakes up and finds his nose is no longer on his face. ![]() ![]() "The Nose," which came out in 1836, established the type of writing he would specialize in for the rest of his working life: funny satire with a surreal or supernatural twist. DMV jokes never get old, right?Īnyway, Gogol had big aspirations for his literary career, and, for once, life totally delivered. Which, honestly, if you're going to make fun of some government thing, then "incompetent bureaucrats" is totally the way to go. ![]() In 1835, he was still a reasonably fresh face in Russia (he was about 27), but dude had already hit it out of the park with The Government Inspector-a hilarious, satirical play making fun of provincial bureaucrats. Sure, he ended his life burning parts of his most famous work and generally acting loony, but hey, for a while there Gogol-or Nikolai Vailievich Gogol, if you're feeling fancy-was on quite the roll. ![]() ![]() ![]() The couple enjoys a secret married life but are dogged by Bosola, who has been hired by the Duke Ferdinand to spy on the Duchess. Instead, the Duchess falls in love with Antonio her steward and they elope. The witty, kind and noble Duchess refuses to follow her brothers – the corrupt and sinister Cardinal and Duke’s – requests (demands) not to remarry. Like most Jacobean revenge tragedies, the plot here is action-packed even though Wright and Rickman have cleverly abridged the text to 1 hour and 45 minutes. Through clever cinematography designed by Stuart Read, Creation Theatre’s Zoom-production of The Duchess of Malfi achieves a fun, campy tone while still respecting the reality of violence at the play’s centre. But it also has a Duke who thinks he’s a wolf, murder, a finale rivalling the bloodshed in the final scene of Hamlet – and, under Laura Wright and Natasha Rickman’s direction, plenty of jazzy transition sequences and trippy lighting. It’s a tragedy, it’s filled with gory violence, themes of misogyny and abuse, and it adeptly explores the politics of marriage in the seventeenth century. John Webster’s 1614 revenge tragedy is, frankly, fun. ![]() 6/25/2023 0 Comments The gentle art of death cleaning![]() ![]() I jettison advice books after I've flipped through them. Along the way readers get a glimpse into her life in Sweden, and also become more comfortable with the idea of letting go. Digging into her late husband's tool shed, and her own secret drawer of vices, Margareta introduces an element of fun to a potentially daunting task. Margareta suggests which possessions you can easily get rid of (unworn clothes, unwanted presents, more plates than you'd ever use) and which you might want to keep (photographs, love letters, a few of your children's art projects). Her radical and joyous method for putting things in order helps families broach sensitive conversations, and makes the process uplifting rather than overwhelming. ![]() In The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning, artist Margareta Magnusson, with Scandinavian humor and wisdom, instructs readers to embrace minimalism. In Sweden there is a kind of decluttering called döstädning, dö meaning "death" and städning meaning "cleaning." This surprising and invigorating process of clearing out unnecessary belongings can be undertaken at any age or life stage but should be done sooner than later, before others have to do it for you.
