![]() ![]() I remember seeing Ansari perform in Washington, DC during his 2013 Buried Alive tour, and the crowd basically erupted every couple minutes due to his inimitable humor, with many of the jokes centering on the trials of modern love. If Ansari's stand-up is any indication of what we have to look forward to with Modern Romance, it will be a work that is hilarious, full of painfully awkward situations, and - above all else - completely relatable. Seriously, guys, that day can't come fast enough! Ansari collaborated with sociologist Eric Klinenberg to create a comprehensive look at the current pros and pitfalls of dating in today's technology- and Tinder-laden society. ![]() As an avid fan of Aziz Ansari's work - particularly his uproarious stand-up comedy specials - I was thrilled, elated, overjoyed, and a bunch of other synonyms that basically mean "YAS!" to hear that he will be releasing a book titled Modern Romanceon June 16. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The story was commissioned to fit a pre-existing piece of cover art, wherein a man in a prison uniform (with the serial number 5271009) is shackled to an asteroid. ![]() To repair the mind of insane artist Jeffrey Halsyon, supernatural being Solon Aquila causes Halsyon to live out various wish fulfillment scenarios-all of which are terribly flawed. First published in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, in 1954, it is also known as "The Starcomber". "5,271,009" is a science fiction/fantasy short story by American writer Alfred Bester. Note the serial number "5271009" on the prisoner's chest. "5,271,009" was inspired by this Fred Kirberger painting of a prisoner on an asteroid. ![]() ![]() ![]() Now that I’m done, I thought it would be fun to share the output of those exercises, both for posterity and the benefit of others. ![]() As a result, it took me at least 4 years, off and on, to get through it all (you could do it in a couple of months if you were diligent, though). To get the most out of the book, you need to do the exercises, and often many times to make sure you’re getting the desired effect. He teaches you to see this relativity of color through a series of exercises. As Albers says, “This fact makes color the most relative medium in art.” Reds can look cool-toned, and blues can be warm-toned. What looks dull in one context may look bright in another. ![]() The way humans perceive color is influenced by the surrounding context of neighboring colors, lighting conditions, size and quantity, what we look at before and after, and more. His central thesis is that there are no absolutes in color. In contrast, Albers’ teaches you how to truly see color. Or as Albers puts it: “Experience teaches that in visual perception there is a discrepancy between physical fact and psychic effect.” Other teaching methods focus on theory, color systems, the physics of color (wavelength, rods and cones, etc.), or resort to rote rules like, “red means danger.” It’s mechanical, mathematical, rules-based, and divorced from how people perceive and react to color. Interaction of Color is, by far, the best book on color I’ve ever read.

A heart-rending story of strength in adversity, A Town Like Alice by Nevil Shute is a celebration of the overwhelming power of love. ![]() ![]() The purpose of this book is to make such features visible and to explain them to the reader as clearly as possible. On the contrary, they are constitutive of meaning in the elegies, and understanding them is crucial to our experience of reading Rilke's work. Commentators, however, have often treated these features as mere formal devices that we can somehow see through to get to what really matters, that is, to what Rilke has to say about the human condition or the meaning of life, to his philosophy or worldview. The themes of the ten elegies - and the conceptual world unique to Rilke from which they emerge - can best be understood through their poetic form: their imagery and neologistic formations, their angular syntax, their abrupt changes of tone and linguistic register, their use of multiple personae and speaking voices, and the often-ironic self-presentation of the author. ![]() The Duino Elegies, together with the Sonnets to Orpheus, remain his greatest achievement. ![]() Rilke continues to be the most read and discussed German poet of the modern period.

![]() ![]() During those fifty years, the country changes, first through technology and modern communications, and later through the desire to find a better life. The action in the novel spans four generations and covers more than fifty years of history. But The House of the Spirits is also the story of political corruption, patriarchal authority, feminine oppression, and the movement from the old world into the new. On the surface, Allende's novel is the story of Esteban Trueba, his wife, his children, and his granddaughter. ![]() But where García Márquez's words create a poetic picture of Latin-American life, Allende's words offers an explicit commentary on the political situation in Chile. The obvious similarities are that both novels relate the saga of a family, both make liberal use of magic and fantasy, and both established their authors' literary reputations. Isabelle Allende's The House of the Spirits is often compared to Gabriel García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude. ![]() ![]() ![]() Heathers girls a.k.a Witches: Jenny, Summer and Mads Mack is our innocent(!), decent, unfortunately manipulated Macbeth Jade is our avenger, psychopath bitch a.k.a Lady Macbeth says who would have thought all these boys to have so much blood in them… So what do you think?
