He’s informed that his estranged father is dying. Story two is set in 1993, where a young paralegal ensconced with an older man feels disconnected, as he’s racially and generationally different from those in his circle. A young man falls in love with a colleague of lower class, shunning a suitor chosen by his grandfather. NYC is part of the ‘Free States’, a region that allows gay marriage, educational equality and religious freedom. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hanya Yanagihara’s employment of geographical and naming touchstones is clever it forces the reader to reset and adopt a new mindset about these protagonists, while still anchoring them in the same space, albeit at different times. Locational echoes and characters’ names recur from one story to the next, as if they are reincarnated or reimagined from the first to the last tale. Set in an alternative America, this is a novel of three parts, its narratives traversing a slew of human experience and emotion. In fact, it’s impossible for me to praise To Paradise enough. This highly anticipated follow-up to 2015’s A Little Life is an epic tour de force. ![]() ![]() ![]() Little does the young Outworld mathematician know that he has already sealed his fate and the fate of humanity.

Here is a quick description and cover image of book Prelude to Foundation (Foundation, #1) written by Isaac Asimov which was published in 1988-5. Brief Summary of Book: Prelude to Foundation (Foundation, #1) by Isaac Asimov ![]() ![]() I really enjoyed being kept on my toes with the misdirection and manipulations that are all through the story, it is very clever and well executed. All I will say is that the original Cinderella story is a significant tale for everyone in the kingdom, but I loved the subtle changes depending on who they heard it from. I really want to say loads about the plot because it really is great there was so much that I didn’t expect so I was constantly surprised, but I can’t say too much because I don’t want to spoil it. ![]() From the start it makes you question the roles of fairytales, how they can be perceived and their lesson can be interpreted differently, which I loved, especially because the story starts with Sophia questioning everything and wanting to find a way out. It’s no secret that I love a retelling but this was almost something a little better, a creative and original addition to the well-known Cinderella story, I can’t believe it took me this long to get to it because it was so captivating. ![]() ![]() Nearly a decade after their first mission, the team disbands, but when Hargreeves unexpectedly dies, these disgruntled siblings reunite just in time to save the world once again. Millionaire inventor Reginald Hargreeves adopted seven of the children when asked why, his only explanation was, “To save the world.” These seven children form The Umbrella Academy, a dysfunctional family of superheroes with bizarre powers. ![]() In an inexplicable worldwide event, forty-three extraordinary children were spontaneously born by women who’d previously shown no signs of pregnancy. The Umbrella Academy Volume 1: Apocalypse Suite Library Edition contains issues #1-6 and features story by Gerard Way and art by Gabriel Ba. ![]() About The Umbrella Academy Apocalypse Suite Graphic Novel Volume 1 Library Edition (Hardcover) ![]() ![]() ![]() “ With more than 300 objects collected or created by Nick Cave through six decades of his creative and private life brought together in large-scale installations, the exhibition is an artwork in itself,” reads a statement on the exhibit. It will open at Montreal’s Galerie de la Maison du Festival on April 8th and run until August 7th. The exhibit was previously on display in Copenhagen, Denmark last Spring. Titled Stranger Than Kindness, the exhibit will offer fans “ an unprecedented look into the creative world” of Cave. The Canadian city of Montreal is set to host a Nick Cave exhibition in April. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds March 1, 2022 Ukraine, we stand with you, and with all those in Russia who oppose this brutal act, and we pray that this madness is brought to a close soon. “ Our thoughts and love go out to the brave people of Ukraine, their heroic leader, and all those suffering from this senseless war. “ In light of current events, we have no choice but to cancel our shows in Russia and Ukraine which were due to take place this summer,” they wrote. ![]() ![]() Cave and the Bad Seeds announced the cancellations on social media. ![]() ![]() ![]() And the world building, while inventive, just never stops the scope gets wider and wider. Kwezi makes a hero's journey, but I never understood what drove him as a person. It's a standard trope in the superhero genre (with my favorite example being Grant Morrison's Zenith), but it isn't fleshed out here with personal detail. Then, he starts encountering other heroes focused on a cause of cosmic proportions. We start off following Kwezi, a brash young man who is connecting his new-found superhero abilities to his social media presence. The writing, however, wasn't as impressive. Mkise is obviously in very interested in world-building, and he builds attractive worlds. Each volume introduces new characters, and the costuming and looks are varied, interesting, and nothing like standard Marvel and DC work. ![]() ![]() He does excellent work with pacing and makes stunning splash pages. Loykise Mkize doesn't have complicated linework, but there's a dynamism to his figures that works great in the superhero genre. It's cool to see superheroes through a non-American lens, especially in a package like this - all the volumes are perfect bound and about letter size, so much like the Marvel and DC graphic novels of the 80's. I got these as a gift from my sister, who recently visited South Africa. ![]() Note 2: I don't speak any of the non-English languages of South Africa, so I wasn't able to follow some of the dialogue (roughly 5%). Note 1: This is a review for *all* the volumes of Kwezi out so far (4 as of April 2019), not just this title. ![]() |
