To maneuver their collective history through a 100-minute performance might seem daunting. Tickets for their outings – their first live comedy shows together – sold out so quickly that what was initially a handful of dates expanded to a 12-show run scattered between April and June. On Friday, the spitfire duo kicked off their Restless Leg tour at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. Sort of a Gen-X Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda – two cool women whose banter ping-pongs naturally and who can read each other from a mile away. Friends for 30 years, partners in film (“Mean Girls,” “Sisters”) and TV ( “Saturday Night Live”), theirs is a relationship built on shared scrappiness that led both to significant success. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler – Emmys winners, authors, actors and, above all, comedians – are a joint unicorn. WASHINGTON – From Steve Martin and Martin Short to Cheech and Chong to Waldorf and Statler, famed comedy duos lean on at least a little bit of shtick. I will be the first to admit much of the detail of this went somewhat over my head, but my ignorance only served to demonstrate quite how impressive the work Turing was undertaking was. Most famously the Enigma but various other things besides, including working on the foundation of what has become the so-called ‘Special Relationship’ between the UK and USA, albeit in a technical rather than diplomatic capacity – throughout we get the impression diplomacy wasn’t one his strong points.īeyond this Hodges goes into quite some detail on his work in the field of pure mathematics and logic before and after the war, his involvement in the first computers, and more work on fields combining mathematics with biology. Of course the now most famous section of Turing’s life and work is dealt with extensively as he spent the Second World War working at Bletchley Park on various form of code breaking. Like Turing, Hodges is a mathematician and that is obvious throughout the book as this is as much about Turing’s work, as it is about his life, something that as it goes on, seems very appropriate given Turing’s apparent approach to life. While I had always been generally curious about the life and work of Alan Turing the 2014 movie The Imitation Game piqued my interest and so I sought out the apparent source of that film, Andrew Hodges extensive biography, Alan Turing: The Enigma. The Queen of Alba is facing political unrest, The Wilde are once-again plotting, and other minor-plots interweave this story. The Red Knight’s company takes a slight back-pedal as we are introduced to much more than just a company being paid to protect others. There is a distinct change of pace from the unstoppable The Red Knight which is welcome as it is written masterfully. The Fell Sword is a different beast, veering (slightly) away from the bloody and blood-pumpingly epic battles in favour of a deeply political tale, that still contains an almighty battle. We follow familiar faces in the Red Knight’s company as they descend from Alba to lands faraway, paid to put down a local rebellion – in true Miles Cameron style it is not that simple! The Red Knight was the perfect beginning of this intriguing fantastical world with knights and irks aplenty. ‘Sometimes I think you all take me for granted,’ he said and went off to wash the blood off his hands.” We head back to the Red Knight and his company and are quickly ensued in an exciting, political and high-medieval tale. The Fell Sword is the second book in The Traitor Son Cycle, coming after the rip-roaring and dragon-slaying beginning in The Red Knight. The Quantum Thief is certainly a good sf novel, and for a debut novel, it’s very polished. The answer, of course, is both yes and no. So… is The Quantum Thief as good as Gollancz claim? Was it the best sf debut novel of 2010? Was it one of the best sf novels of 2010? The actual quality of the novel in question often seems immaterial – in fact, there are frequently so many opinions out there, in magazines and on the Internet, declaiming greatness that it’s hard not to feel you should be just as laudatory. The problem with hype is that it sets up expectations that are rarely met. However, when and where Spanton will chow down on some headgear has yet to be revealed. Even the publisher was convinced of its greatness: in the introduction to the ARC, Simon Spanton, Deputy Publishing Director at Gollancz, declared that if “this novel isn’t at least shortlisted for the Clarke I’ll eat someone else’s hat”. As a result, expectations for Rajaniemi’s debut novel were high. Rajaniemi’s few prior fiction sales had garnered much praise – three stories published in English since 2003, two of which were picked by Gardner Dozois for his The Best Science Fiction of the Year anthologies. Almost a year before it appeared, it was being said Gollancz had bought it based solely on a synopsis and a single chapter. The science fiction debut of 2010 was apparently Hannu Rajaniemi’s The Quantum Thief. The pages will fly by as you will be caught up in the lives of the family. It may be a long book at over 600 pages but you won’t notice. As always there is a lot in the book which will make you laugh at the madcap antics and straight talking of the characters, but there are also a lot more serious issues woven into the story such as eating disorders, addiction, grief and self-esteem. There’s a large cast of relatable characters, all part of the Casey family or connected with them. Grown-Ups is Marian Keyes at her best with all that I love about her books. When one of the wives, Cara, gets concussed, she suddenly blurts out some secrets which not only shock everyone but reveal rather a lot of home truths and show the family to be not quite as perfect as it seemed… On the face of it, they are one big happy family but there are unspoken tensions simmering away underneath. This family spends a lot of time together at birthdays, holidays, anniversaries and so on. Grown Ups follows the three bothers in the Casey family, Johnny, Ed and Liam, and their wives and various offspring. It is always such a treat when a new Marian Keyes book comes out and her latest absolutely did not disappoint! Marisha Pessl, Special Topics in Calamity PhysicsĮqual parts coming-of-age story, murder mystery, and college thesis, Marisha Pessl’s Special Topics in Calamity Physics frequently finds itself classified as literary fiction. And what you decide in those few seconds determines everything from then on… And you’ll have no idea what you’ll do until you’re there.” You wouldn’t believe this, but life hinges in a couple of seconds you never see coming. I think growing up you always imagine your life-your success-depends on your family and how much money they have, where you go to college, what sort of job you can pin down, starting salary…But it doesn’t, you know. “It’s kind of funny…the moments on which life hinges. In honor of the upcoming release of Marisha Pessl’s second novel, Night Film, I thought it would be fitting to review her first novel, Special Topics in Calamity Physics. I will simply be providing a plot synopsis and the reasons this work warrants reading. In other words, You Gotta Read This! This regular feature will be mainly spoiler-free.

She was a beautiful woman & played an admirable character that did so much for redefining social issues both here in the US & throughout the world." Shatner tweeted Sunday: "I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Nichelle. It also earned her accolades for breaking stereotypes that had limited Black women to acting roles as servants and included an interracial onscreen kiss with co-star William Shatner that was unheard of at the time. Her role in the 1966-69 series earned Nichols a lifelong position of honor with the series' rabid fans, known as Trekkers and Trekkies. "Hers was a life well lived and as such a model for us all." Her light however, like the ancient galaxies now being seen for the first time, will remain for us and future generations to enjoy, learn from, and draw inspiration," Johnson wrote on her official Facebook page Sunday.

Swans, made of wax,12 swam on the lake, and were reflected in it. In front of the castle a number of little trees surrounded a piece of looking-glass,11 which was intended to represent a transparent lake. The table on which the tin soldiers stood, was covered with other playthings,9 but the most attractive to the eye was a pretty little paper castle.10 Through the small windows the rooms could be seen. The soldiers were all exactly alike, excepting one, who had only one leg 7 he had been left to the last, and then there was not enough of the melted tin to finish him, so they made him to stand firmly on one leg, and this caused him to be very remarkable.8 They were given him for a birthday present, and he stood at the table to set them up. THERE were once five-and-twenty2 tin soldiers,3 who were all brothers, for they had been made out of the same old tin spoon.4 They shouldered arms5 and looked straight before them, and wore a splendid uniform, red and blue.6 The first thing in the world they ever heard were the words, “Tin soldiers!” uttered by a little boy, who clapped his hands with delight when the lid of the box, in which they lay, was taken off. |
