We would meet for happy hour about once a month in a West Village gay bar, and he’d graciously listen to all of my bile about my ex, who I refer to as the Gay Narcissist. “We’re a damaged tribe,” a friend of mine said after my breakup. And, of course, I was in my own gay narcissistic relationship for years that ended with an unceremonious discard and replacement.īut I’ve always trusted my keen sense of observation and intuition, and there has always something odious that’s bothered me about the gay community’s propensity for toxic, narcissistic behavior. I’ve spent way too much time on gay-oriented “dating” and “social” apps staring at curated photos and reading posturing profiles. I’ve socialized with many gay men since coming out years ago. I’ve worked around gay men for a long time. I’ve often wondered if gay men have a greater propensity for narcissism than other groups of people. Samar, the daughter in this family, is a quiet, lonesome girl, who like so many others, sits beneath Red’s canopy and befriends the old tree. The mean-spirited graffiti is a message directed at a new Muslim family who moved into the neighborhood. One day Red’s world forever changes when someone carves the hateful word “leave” into its trunk. As time wore on, the tradition spread until every year people from various ethnicities adorned Red with their wishes. The tradition in Red’s neighborhood started when, Maeve, a lonely Irish girl, hung her wish from one of Red’s branches. A wish tree or raggy tree is an old Irish custom where, on the first of May, people write their wishes onto strips of fabric and tie them to the limbs of a tree. During this time, the wish tree has witnessed many newcomers’ plights as they struggled for acceptance among the established residents.Įarly on in her lifetime, Red became a wish tree. Red is a two hundred-sixteen-year-old northern red oak that has lived in a typical American neighborhood all of its life. Katherine Applegate’s children’s novel, Wishtree, is a heartwarming story, told in the first person point-of-view of the character named Red. I borrowed a copy of this book from the free library.

Towles certainly demonstrated through the novel that he was very familiar Russian literature and history. Some members agreed that the book was written in a style similar to Russian classic writers, like Dostoevsky and Gogol. We wondered if it might still be read in 100 years from now, and briefly compared it to how some of the books by Hemingway and Fitzgerald’s have held up since the 1920s. Several members concluded that A Gentleman may indeed be one of the best books in the last six years. With 100% of our members present, we discussed how timely this book has been with many of our members nearly quarantined in our home for the last year or more. Our group has been meeting via Zoom only since the pandemic shut down our live meetings. Evans led our first RVA Classic Bookclub (of Richmond, Virginia) discussion of the year on A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles (2016). Evans* (with Introduction by Litchatte Editor, Murray Ellison) It is not about adjusting with different cultures and customs but different attitudes and temperament of the people. Difference is not between communities but between two people: Lesson: We live with so many presumptions in our day to day life that we don’t even feel the need to figure out if it is True or not.There should be some basis for our beliefs.Ģ. Here, when Kavita ( Amrita Singh) meets Ananya’s (Alia) parents for the first time, she addresed them as cunning and not so talented as she believed so….Ananya’ s parents believed Punjabis as Uncultured people. Being Judgemental about things without knowing about them can land your thought process in trouble. Making Assumption can be dangerous at times. If you assume, you make an ass of “U” n “Me” Strictly for those who have seen the movie and those who have not seen it, see it, come back and read on…:-)ġ. This is not any kind of review of the film but the lessons that I learnt from the movie. Finally, got to see the Long awaited movie, “2 States” based on Chetan bhagat’s novel “2 states”. In Chapter 4, Hallucinates again, fights, and almost gets killed by The Cheetah.
Sydney Jones, Chang announced last year that he's now working on a sextet of Jack Yu books to follow the first three. In an interview with fellow mystery author J. Henry Chang has staked out generous turf in New York City's Chinatown with Detective Jack Yu, in a trilogy of police detection books: Chinatown Beat, Year of the Dog, and Red Jade. It's a good time of year to indulge in Chinatown mysteries, with the start of the Year of the (Water) Dragon just behind us, and the beginning of the Chinese astrological New Year tomorrow. Equally intriguing are those set in American (and other!) Chinatowns, where another "country" seems just a few blocks away. The wide range of international mysteries suddenly available in the US is exciting. In 1577 Teresa began writing this masterpiece called The Interior Castle. In fact, she talked him into helping her establish her reformed monasteries. John was going to leave the Carmelites for a more heavenly-minded order, but Teresa convinced him to remain. In 1567 she met a newly-ordained priest who would later be known as St. Teresa also wrote books about the mystical life. By the time of her death in 1582, she had founded 14 reform monasteries. She founded her first reformed monastery in 1562 in Avila. She entered into a new life where the mystical experience of passive quiet, and often of union, became habitual for her.Īfter a terrifying vision of hell, Teresa became determined to establish convents that were less luxurious and more contemplative. In 1554, at 39 years of age, she experienced a powerful conversion. She led a prayerful life over the next 20 years but felt she had not surrendered fully to God. In 1535 she ran away from home and entered the Carmelite monastery in Avila. They were Catholics, but had Jewish ancestors. At that time, her country was the greatest power on earth. Teresa of Avila was born in 1515 a.d., near the walled city of Avila in Spain. Teresa of Ávila wrote “The Interior Castle” in 1577 as a guide for spiritual development and mystical prayer. I enjoyed this book, until the very unsatisfying not-an-ending ending. "-"A reimagining of the Snow White story set in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s"- … ( more) With breathtaking feats of imagination, Helen Oyeyemi confirms her place as one of the most original and dynamic literary voices of our time. Dazzlingly inventive and powerfully moving, Boy, Snow, Bird is an astonishing and enchanting novel. Among them, Boy, Snow, and Bird confront the tyranny of the mirror to ask how much power surfaces really hold. A wicked stepmother is a creature Boy never imagined she'd become, but elements of the familiar tale of aesthetic obsession begin to play themselves out when the birth of Boy's daughter, Bird, who is dark-skinned, exposes the Whitmans as light-skinned African Americans passing for white. She marries a local widower and becomes stepmother to his winsome daughter, Snow Whitman. In the winter of 1953, Boy Novak arrives by chance in a small town in Massachusetts, looking, she believes, for beauty-the opposite of the life she's left behind in New York. Fox, the Snow White fairy tale brilliantly recast as a story of family secrets, race, beauty, and vanity. |
