But his journalistic activities had been chiefly a response to the demands of the time in 1947 Camus retired from political journalism and, besides writing his fiction and essays, was very active in the theatre as producer and playwright (e.g., Caligula, 1944). The man and the times met: Camus joined the resistance movement during the occupation and after the liberation was a columnist for the newspaper Combat. Of semi-proletarian parents, early attached to intellectual circles of strongly revolutionary tendencies, with a deep interest in philosophy (only chance prevented him from pursuing a university career in that field), he came to France at the age of twenty-five. His origin in Algeria and his experiences there in the thirties were dominating influences in his thought and work. ![]() Albert Camus (1913-1960) was a representative of non-metropolitan French literature. ![]() ![]() that his extraordinary lineage is crucial to the colony's survival. What this stranger doesn't tell Moon is that his presence will tip the balance of power. ![]() someone who seems to know exactly what he is, who promises that Moon will be welcomed into his community. Just as Moon is once again cast out by his adopted tribe, he discovers a shape-shifter like himself. An orphan with only vague memories of his own kind, Moon tries to fit in among the tribes of his river valley, with mixed success. ![]() "rrily ignores genre conventions as she spins an exciting adventure around an alien hero who anyone can identify with."-Publishers Weekly, Starred Review Moon has spent his life hiding what he is - a shape-shifter able to transform himself into a winged creature of flight. Nominated for the 2018 Hugo Award for Best Series. ![]() ![]() I was very clear with my editor, Michelle Herrera Mulligan – who is actually I think a genius, and that’s not really a term I throw around, she’s an incredibly brilliant thinker and editor – I was clear with her, and she agreed with me, that I wanted the term “white feminism” in the title. KB : To appropriately answer that, I think would be two parts, in terms of the title and subtitle. SK : For people who haven’t read the book yet, can you tell us how you arrived at the title? What made you want to highlight suffragettes and influencers specifically? This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

Koa Beck is the former editor-in-chief of Jezebel and co-host of “The #MeToo Memos” on WNYC’s The Takeaway. ![]() ![]() ![]() No one could have been better suited to strengthen bridges between the United States and Israel than Michael Oren-a man equally at home jumping out of a plane as an Israeli paratrooper and discussing Middle East history on TV's Sunday morning political shows. ![]() Ally is the story of that enduring alliance-and of its divides-written from the perspective of a man who treasures his American identity while proudly serving the Jewish State he has come to call home. On more than one occasion, the friendship's very fabric seemed close to unraveling. Forged in the Truman administration, America's alliance with Israel was subjected to enormous strains, and its future was questioned by commentators in both countries. During Oren's tenure in office, Israel and America grappled with the Palestinian peace process, the Arab Spring, and existential threats to Israel posed by international terrorism and the Iranian nuclear program. An American by birth and a historian by training, Oren arrived at his diplomatic post just as Benjamin Netanyahu, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton assumed office. ![]() Michael Oren served as the Israeli ambassador to the United States from 2009 to 2013. Oren's memoir of his time as Israel's ambassador to the United States-a period of transformative change for America and a time of violent upheaval throughout the Middle East-provides a frank, fascinating look inside the special relationship between America and its closest ally in the region. New York Times bestselling author Michael B. ![]() ![]() ![]() I found the portrayal of her, as a naked Angelina Jolie, to be rather absurd. They've created a whole new plot about who slept with Grendel's mother, which feels clunky. I never had the sense of his enormous and terrifying strength. He is imagined as a pathetic creature - you feel as if he's being eaten from the inside by maggots. The monster, Grendel, is also rather diminished here. The minute he starts lying, he becomes less interesting. He becomes vulnerable and flawed, and he loses much of his nobility. The film changes the very nature of its hero. It's a brave, extraordinary thing, and I was entranced by the spectacle, but I'm afraid it left me cold in a way that the poem - an account of a mythical hero's battle with a terrifying monster - does not. I think it's wonderful that a 3D, computer-generated version of an epic poem set in sixth-century Denmark was made at all. A s someone who spends his life telling stories for children, I can't be sniffy about adapting Beowulf. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Tucker Lieberman is first and foremost a man of letters, with great literary breadth. It was an easy read because Lieberman is a master wordsmith. ![]() The book is both scholarly and accessible.

The other part has been learning about the author’s life, the history of the time the novels were written, the categories the novel is from and whatever else grabs my attention while reading the novels. Part of my enjoyment has been introduced to novels and authors I hadn’t read. Last year I set a goal of reading Top 100+ Crime and Mystery Novels of All Time as a way of introducing myself to new authors in a genre I enjoy reading after growing tired of searching for new modern authors I want to read. ![]() I’ve completed my top 100+ Crime and Mystery Novels of all time reading challenge – 2022.Tips I wish I knew before I started the Challenge – 2020. ![]() ![]()
