![]() ![]() Not only is Fergus banging all over the universe in this book, dashing from one planet to the next trying to get things under control but he is also perpetually trying to triage the many many things he is forced to care about including but not limited to: Probably nothing good.įans of madcap excursions, please congregate. There are also some quite ominous aliens flying about the place in pointy triangle ships. First he meets a woman called Mattie Vahn, and then she dies, and then he meets a zillion of her apparent clones, the crossest one of whom insists on following him around suspiciously while he’s trying to accomplish his business. ![]() ![]() The main one, admittedly, was “Fandom for Robots,” but a very close second was Suzanne Palmer’s very sweet “ The Secret Life of Bots.” So it was with great pleasure that I learned she has her debut novel out this year: Finder!įergus Ferguson is a finder, and he’s been tasked with finding a sentient ship, the Venetia’s Sword, and stealing it back from the crime boss Arum Gilger. In the year of our Lord 2017 (of unfond memory), I read these two stories about sweet little bots doing their best, and it launched me into a new state of being in which I read short fiction so much that I have had to commission a logo about it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Quicksilver's first appearance is impressive, and the panel where he's on his knees by her bed amazingly captures the character's anguish. I also rather enjoyed the reveal shot of the gathered Avengers, as if one studies the double-page shot it's clear Olivier Coipel put some real thought into the personalities of the characters, from the fact that Luke Cage is sitting with his chair spun around, to the placement of Professor Xavier at the very centre of the gathering. Olivier Coipel turns in a lovely bit of work on this issue, from the sheer anguish of Wanda during the opening scene as Professor Xavier works to pull her out of the false world that she's created, to the equally powerful moment of realization of this issue's final panel.

Willems’ book “sculptures” about Leonardo, the scary monster who is decidedly unscary, are now being staged by Chicago-based theatre troupe Manual Cinema. ![]() A book is a piece of sculpture and if this one is somewhat awkward to hold, maybe that will engender some empathy for Leonardo’s awkwardness.” That’s all part of the cunning plan, says Willems: “In the case of Leonardo, he is powerless, he is awkward, he is small. The book for Leonardo the Terrible Monster (as well as the sequel Sam the Most Scaredy-Cat Kid in the Whole World) is huge. The size, shape and look of each book is very particular: just to hold one in your hands is almost a theatrical experience. ![]() ![]() M o Willems’ children’s books begin before a page has been turned. ![]() ![]() ![]() "This new edition includes six opinion pieces written by Robert Kaplan about the Balkans between 19, beginning just after the implementation of the Dayton Peace Accords and ending after the conclusion of the Kosovo war, with the removal of Slobodan Milosevic from power."-JacketĪccess-restricted-item true Addeddate 14:49:02.840721 Bookplateleaf 0004 Boxid IA1150922 City New York Donorīostonpubliclibrary Edition 1st Picador ed.
