The notes of the old jazz standard are rising from the body-a sure sign that something about the man’s death was not at all natural but instead supernatural.īody and soul. That’s what London constable and sorcerer’s apprentice Peter Grant first notices when he examines the corpse of Cyrus Wilkins, part-time jazz drummer and full-time accountant, who dropped dead of a heart attack while playing a gig at Soho’s 606 Club. Moon Over Soho by Ben Aaronovitch sees Constable Peter Grant investigating the deaths of Jazz Men under the leadership of his mentor DCI Nightingale. I am delighted to share my review today for the 2nd book in the Rivers of London series. ![]()

![]() ![]() Instead, Lamya embarks on a much more ambitious project. ![]() ![]() Here we find an author diffusing the simple chronology of life events that often keeps the format of the memoir confined to simplicity and linearity. The story structure resists simple categorization and this is one of the book’s most vital strengths. Taking its cue from Leslie Feinberg’s historic 1993 novel Stone Butch Blues, Lamya H’s debut memoir Hijab Butch Blues orients the emotional and political development of a genderqueer youth as they leave their South Asian birthplace with their family to go live in a rich Arab gulf country and then, much later, relocate to the United States to pursue an education. ![]() ![]() ![]() You do not have resell or distribution rights without the prior written permission of both the publisher and the copyright owner of this book.

But when he stumbles onto Eli’s unfinished business and a dilemma that could destroy his father’s church, Jace realizes he’s facing more than his own questions of faith, but questions of who he is and what it means to do the right thing regardless of who it might hurt. Then he meets Thera and he discovers that perhaps a notorious psychic’s daughter and a prominent pastor’s son have more in common than he could have imagined. ![]() The kinds of questions a pastor’s kid isn’t supposed to ask.

I would say though, broadly speaking, that a pronoun only becomes possessive once it lays claim to something. ![]() You understand that I am not in a position to account for certain aspects of a text, even if it bears my signature (in this case a false one). Nathanaël: These are interesting readings. What is the you? Is it the lyrical “you of poetry”? Or is it the disappearing I, the dissolving of the autobiographical self? And if it is the lyrical device of addressing a “you,” are you invoking a sort of Muse with Nathanaël? But desire also shifts the I, displaces the possessive pronoun, shifts away from I onto the you. Desire makes you aware all that you have not possessed, what you have missed out on. Nathanaël is the consequence or possibility of fruition of our actions. Tatum Howey: Nathanaël is what we wish we could be. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He was later pardoned, along with several other figures in the Iran-Contra scandal, by President George H. Suffering from guilt over his role in the scheme and feeling betrayed by Reagan, who, McFarlane later wrote, "approved every single action I ever took" but "lacked the moral conviction and intellectual courage to stand up in our defense and in defense of his policy." McFarlane attempted suicide in 1987. He ultimately pleaded guilty to four misdemeanor counts and admitted that he had hidden information about the Reagan administration's support of the Contras from Congress. ![]() When the scheme came to light, administration officials implemented a plan to insulate Reagan and senior officials by focusing blame on McFarlane. McFarlane was a central figure in the Iran–Contra affair, an operation in which the Reagan administration funneled weapons to Iran and diverted the profits to illegally fund right-wing rebels in Nicaragua. He resigned as National Security Adviser in late 1985 because of disagreements with other administration figures but remained involved in negotiations with Iran and with Hezbollah. Within the Reagan administration, McFarlane was a leading architect of the Strategic Defense Initiative, a project intended to defend the US from Soviet ballistic missile attacks. Robert Carl " Bud" McFarlane (J– May 12, 2022) was an American Marine Corps officer who served as National Security Advisor to President Ronald Reagan from 1983 to 1985. ![]() |
