I will say, though, that the clue is very much in the name in that it’s a sparkly light-hearted romp (with some more srs themes if you want to look for them) set in a self-consciously ahistorical queer-friendly Regency. I’m really tempted to say they can expect something fabulous and leave it there, but I guess that’s cheating? And not very helpful. Now, tell us about Something Fabulous! What can readers expect? Obviously things are a bit up-in-the-air doing-wise, what with Omicron, the rapidly spiraling cost of living, and being in a country where the biggest political question is whether a bunch of people getting drunk on wine is a party or not (yes it is, even if you’re the Prime Minster). We got to ask Alexis about his new novel, his favorite regency novels and so much more! Hi, Alexis! Thanks for joining us once more. Recently, The Nerd Daily had the pleasure of chatting to returning author Alexis Hall, whose new novel Something Fabulous, a laugh-out-loud yet tender regency romp, is out now. Her novel will challenge, encourage, and stimulate discussion among her loyal fans and first-time readers.” - Publishers Weekly “Bestselling author Wiseman encourages readers to think through their feelings about Islam, Christianity, faith, love, and what it means to help others. Inspired by actual events, this riveting story will take you on a wild journey and have you asking yourself: How far would I go for love? And Mallory can only pray she’ll make it out alive. Tate begs her not to go, but Mallory embarks on the dangerous journey to Pakistan anyway, only to discover how swiftly and easily promises can be broken. In a bold move-and with lots of resistance from Tate and those closest to her-Mallory decides to travel across the world to fulfill her dream. He understands that Mallory’s free spirit has to fly, and when he gives her the space she needs, he hopes that when she lands, the two of them will be in the same place and can marry at last. But she’ll have to leave behind everyone she loves to take it. Then a new friend she met online offers her the chance she’s dreamed of. She had that chance when she was a teenager, and the opportunity slipped away, leaving a void she’s desperate to fill. Mallory Hammond is determined not to let her boyfriend, parents, or anyone else get in the way of her #1 goal-to save a life. It seems to have come and gone without a trace and, like the rest of Deville's output, doesn't have much of a reputation today (although it was momentarily resurrected on MUBI). Smack in the middle of such items is the uncharacteristic Deep Water, a mostly faithful (at least on plot level) Patricia Highsmith adaptation. (When they were met at all.) There were even awards for his efforts - Raphael, or The Debauched One (1971) was nominated for a Palme d'Or, and Césars generously bestowed for Best Writing (in 1978, for Dossier 51) and Best Director (in 1985, for Death in a French Garden). Instead, Deville's parade of light comedies, ornate costume pieces, and stray crime dramas throughout the sixties and seventies were met with a sporadic but broad commercial appeal. The wraithlike antagonism in his mind found an imaginary grip and tightened."įilmmaker Michel Deville, aged 89 at the time of this writing, may have run parallel with the French New Wave, but the same sort of contemporaneous critical appreciation or subsequent reappraisals have thus far eluded him.

With more than 1,500 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. This Centennial edition, specially designed to commemorate one hundred years of Steinbeck, features french flaps and deckle-edged pages. This classic novella from Nobel Prize-winner John Steinbeck examines the fallacy of the American dream, and illustrates the fall from innocence experienced by people who believe that wealth erases all problems. His dream blinds him to the greed and suspicions the pearl arouses in him and his neighbors, and even his loving wife Juana cannot temper his obsession or stem the events leading to tragedy. "There it lay, the great pearl, perfect as the moon." One of Steinbeck's most taught works, The Pearl is the story of the Mexican diver Kino, whose discovery of a magnificent pearl from the Gulf beds means the promise of a better life for his impoverished family. National Book Critics Circle Award in Biography Master of the Senate carries Johnsons story through his twelve remarkable years in the Senate. Caro makes us witness to a momentous turning point in American politics the tragic last stand of the old politics versus the new politics of issue versus the politics of image, mass manipulation, money and electronic dazzle.

If you pay lots of attention to where boundaries are, you pay less attention to complete pictures. When you think categorically, you have trouble seeing how similar or different two things are. Robert Sapolsky, who is a Professor of Biology and Neurology at Stanford University, is very aware of the “buckets” that even great experts like himself can get stuck in. And this is a theme that runs through this book. Ask a sociologist and they might start talking about the cultural, political and religious structures that shape people.Ask a psychologist, and they might say early childhood experiences or a maladaptive way of thinking. Ask a biologist what causes aggression, and they might tell you genes or hormones.For the same question, the experts from every discipline will give you a different answer. As Abraham Maslow said, “When a man has a hammer, then everything begins to look like a nail.” And this couldn’t be more true than when we’re looking at the science behind human behaviors.
