This place, incredible to think of it, is a short flight from Gatwick. You might even have been drawn to the stand next door, where men sit hunched over the severed heads of sheep and feast on their brains. You would have asked for the strange dark meats, slathered with spices. Other women were jealous, I remember, of how much you could put away without ever growing plump. You would have chosen with bravery and recklessness, I am sure of it. I have a packet of Malted Milks in my suitcase. I pointed at what I was almost certain was chicken, and ate one skewer of that. I am a large, pale cuckoo in their midst: a clumsy, creased foreigner with his practical travel satchel, his comfortable shoes. There is the eating alone in the Big Square, feeling the curious stares. There are the boys who come after you, who grab at your clothing or even, on one occasion – God forbid – your hand, and ask, “Big Square?” The colours: the cones of spices, the glitter and gleam of brass, of sequin, the cheap dyed leather goods. But to step out into the street is to experience an almost physical assault of noise, of odours that range from intriguing to the absolutely foul. There is an ornamental pool, plants, breakfast served on a sunlit terrace, flatbread and oil, dark thick coffee. My hotel is a small rectangle of peace in the midst of it: a tranquil space open to the sky. Making the final payment on your mortgage. When your dog comes up to you and snuggles next to you just like that. Stretching your legs after a long flight. Getting a genuine compliment from someone you really like, respect and look up to. When you finally get that offer letter you’ve been waiting for. Taking off wet socks and putting dry ones on after getting caught in the rain. When you wake up from a bad dream and realise it wasn’t real. Assuming your partner's cheating on you but finding out it to be totally false. A spoon full of melted chocolate in the middle of the night. Finally peeing after you've held it in for eternity. When your clogged nose suddenly opens up. So, here are some more best non-sexual things you’ll agree to that give us oh so much joy. Take a moment to think about all the non-sexual things that give us immense pleasure.īefore you debate about the fact that there are none, think about taking off those tight jeans at the end of the day and getting into loose shorts. One of the most distracting thoughts are related to sex because let’s agree, when we think about it, we think about only IT.īut stop thinking about sexual pleasure for a second. This 400,000-word account was published in 1958. Random House agreed, and using the money from his 1955 Guggenheim Fellowship (Foote won Guggenheims also in 19.) Foote set out to write the trilogy's first volume, Fort Sumter to Perryville. Foote soon realized that the project would require much more time and energy, and therefore offered to write a comprehensive narrative history of the war. On the strength of his novel Shiloh, Random House asked Foote for a short Civil War history. The individual volumes include Fort Sumter to Perryville (1958), Fredericksburg to Meridian (1963), and Red River to Appomattox (1974). While it touches on political and social themes, the main thrust of the work is military history. Although previously known as a novelist, Foote is most famous for this non-fictional narrative history. The Civil War: A Narrative (1958–1974) is a three volume, 2,968-page, 1.2 million-word history of the American Civil War by Shelby Foote. His most popular novels, such as Hawaii, Centennial, Texas, and Chesapeake, were constructed as epics, tracing the history of a region from primordial times to the recent past. He sold more than 75 million books and is considered one of the most prolific and popular writers of the 20th century. Michener was an author of novels, short fiction, and nonfiction, much of which was based on his extensive research and travel. Surely he has touched every man, woman, and child in the United States over the decades." -Joyce Carol Oates James A. "James Michener seems to me a true American classic- his enormous success has not hardened his heart but seems to have had quite the reverse effect upon him. Overuse or repetitive motions can tire muscles and put more pressure on the bone. Bones are weakest when they are twisted.īone fractures can be caused by falls, trauma, or as a result of a direct blow or kick to the body. The same bone is fractured in two places, so there is a "floating" piece of bone.įractures most often happen when more force is applied to the bone than the bone can take. The bone has broken into three or more pieces and fragments are present at the fracture site. This causes the broken bone to be wider or flatter in appearance. The break spirals around the bone common in a twisting injury. The break is in a straight line across the bone. A portion of the bone is broken, causing the other side to bend. Here is a listing of the common types that may happen: The bone is broken, but the skin is intact.įractures have a variety of names.
or as the cooks chorus "MILK IN THE BATTER! MILK IN THE BATTER! WE BAKE CAKE! AND NOTHING'S THE MATTER!" (Can it go without saying that the pictures are superb.) God Bless Milk and God Bless Me!'" God bless naked and naturally exposed, Mickey is pure joy. Sometimes Mickey's toss and turn from bed into the night kitchen and back keeps in time to internal rhyme, or sets up a rhythmic chant or a remembrance of things heard, or makes sport with words while what's doing in the kitchen is the concoction of a cake by three Oliver Hardy cooks who take Mickey for milk until "right in the middle of the steaming and the making and the smelling and the baking Mickey poked through and said I'M NOT THE MILK AND THE MILK'S NOT ME! I'M MICKEY!" But wait: in his bread dough plane with his milk-pitcher helmet, Mickey flies up and up and up "and over the top of the Milky Way," then dives down into the bottle "singing 'I'm in the milk and the milk's in me. This is Maurice Sendak's comic strip apotheosis of the Thirties/ dusky dream of sensual bliss/ bim bam boom bombshell of a child-echoing picture book. Originally I was also not a fan of the abrupt scenes that ended mid-chapter, and by the time I hit 50 pages, I was certain I wouldn’t like this book. Her POV is awkward at first, but it eventually smooths out as we come to understand Selene better. The story is told from Selene’s POV, which is a somewhat dry and straightforward perspective. I had a rough entry into this book because it took some getting used to Prince’s storytelling cadence. He is a cruel patient that refuses her ministrations, but Selene is determined to treat him and secretly find a cure for the unknown poison her mother created. But it will be no easy task going up against a young, callous king who begins to shun the world and hide his paralysis. With the kingdom unaware of who dealt the devastating blow, Selene must take up her mantle as the royal healer and undo the damage she has caused. No one knows it was Selene who administered the poison or that her mother concocted the scheme, but her mother flees into the night anyway. The king has been poisoned at the hand of his royal healers. I admit I am humbled and delighted by how original this story was. Prince said, “To hell with your preconceived notions!” and decided to write a lovely story about the relationship between a healer and her king. I had the formula mapped out in my head and was convinced I knew how everything would play out. After reading the back cover of To Poison a King, I thought I had a good idea of where this story would go. |
