She becomes infatuated with his newest client, a repressed married woman she affectionately refers to as Big Swiss. Greta spends her days transcribing therapy sessions for a sex coach who calls himself Om. The house is unrenovated, uninsulated, and full of bees. Greta lives with her friend Sabine in an ancient Dutch farmhouse in Hudson, New York. “One of the funniest books of the last few years” ( Los Angeles Times) about a sex therapist’s transcriptionist and her affair with one of the patients. “Wild…hilarious…so good.” - Cosmopolitan, Best Books of the Year * “A laugh-out-loud bad romance for Gen Xers and an ode to misfits who just want to belong.” - Oprah Daily * “Always interesting…too fun to stop.” - Vanity Fair In addition, veering away from ordinary life and plain language means that poems may be less enduring. He suggests that poets who don’t rely on ordinary language “separate themselves from the sympathies of men.” To Wordsworth, a poet must be close to their reader and pull that reader in-a poet who tries to fluff up his or her poem with jargon or lofty language alienates the reader and has trouble connecting to their lived experience. In order to show why his method of tackling ordinary subjects through ordinary language is so important and impactful, Wordsworth reveals the pitfalls of not using that approach. This simple, prose-like language not only corresponds well with ordinary life-it’s closer to the way that normal, everyday people speak-but also is more universally intelligible: its simplicity and honesty create a sense of permanence, making it accessible for readers across time and place. According to Wordsworth, using ordinary life as subject matter allows the poet to better explore human nature and reveal truth. Throughout his “Preface to the Lyrical Ballads,” Wordsworth emphasizes the importance of depicting ordinary life using everyday language in a poem.

How many women are in a Catch-22 at work - you must be pretty and feminine, but not TOO pretty and feminine, else it's your fault for sexual harassment! At a time when many are saying there is no need for feminism, Wolf shows that sexism is still alive and well and how trying to adhere to the Perfect Woman is holding women back.Īs I dig more and more into feminism, particularly the portion where women take great pains to look the part that society tells them (sexual, but not TOO sexual, smart but not TOO smart), I kept seeing this book. How many women rush to pursue the next makeup line instead of equal pay for equal work. A seminal feminist work, "The Beauty Myth" digs into the ways that the pursuit of beauty has hampered feminism. And, as ever, the Rabbi is the quickest draw in the West―when it comes to pulling out bits of Talmudic insight to fit any occasion, that is. He encounters the return of “Big Milt” and Wolfie Wasserman (the most feared father-and-son outlaw team east of Nevada), and investigates another bold crime by the sweet-faced Bad Bubbe. As his fame grows throughout the Rocky Mountains, Rabbi Harvey meets new characters―including the luckless gold miner Abigail―and faces a slew of new challenges. These adventures combine Jewish and American folklore by creatively retelling comic Jewish folktales and setting them loose on the western frontier of the 1870s.

The more The Queen reads, the more she begins to ask questions.

With Normon’s helps she develops a huge passion for reading, devouring everything she can get her hands on. She goes back the following week and finds a book by Nancy Mitford which is much more to her taste.

Weimar Berlin was the world's metropolis, where intellectualism, creativity, and sensuous liberal values thrived, and Lutes maps its tragic, inevitable decline. Lavish salons, crumbling sidewalks, dusty attics, and train stations: all these places come alive in Lutes' masterful hand. Lutes weaves these characters' lives into the larger fabric of a city slowly ripping apart.The city itself is the central protagonist in this historical fiction. Berlin is one of the high-water marks of the medium: rich in its well-researched historical detail, compassionate in its character studies, and as timely as ever in its depiction of a society slowly awakening to the stranglehold of fascism.Berlin is an intricate look at the fall of the Weimar Republic through the eyes of its citizensMarthe Mller, a young woman escaping the memory of a brother killed in World War I, Kurt Severing, an idealistic journalist losing faith in the printed word as fascism and extremism take hold the Brauns, a family torn apart by poverty and politics. Twenty years in the making, this sweeping masterpiece charts Berlin through the rise of Nazism.During the past two decades, Jason Lutes has quietly created one of the masterworks of the graphic novel golden age. |
