![]() ![]() Take, for example, Vallotton’s intriguing gouache-on-cardboard interior, La Visite (The Visit) (1899) – one of the stand-out works on display in the exhibition. The worlds that Vallotton conjures, whether in word or image, are invariably defined by a conspiracy of shadows. But are we really responsible for the misdemeanours of our silhouettes? Is the shape of our lives determined as much by the consciousness of shadows as it is by the intentional actions we deliberately take? As the novel unfolds, Verdier’s ill-starred shadow hangs over one suspicious incident after another – from the death of an engraver (who accidentally stabs himself with a copper burin when spooked by Verdier’s presence) to that of an artist’s model, who slips when reaching for Verdier’s hand and falls fatally into a scorching stove. It was, after all, some dark aspect of Verdier that had, in a sense, whether consciously or not, lunged forward and tripped his friend up, causing his injuries. Was Verdier responsible? Vincent thought so, and before long everyone else did too. ![]()

ALL THE COLORS OF MAGIC by Valija Zinck RELEASE DATE: Dec. ![]() ![]() ![]() So with that super clear and stellar intro, let’s get into it, shall we? I’m still not even completely certain if my ultimate rating is accurate. My feelings are also all tied up because a very small moment in this book has a massive effect on not only this series, but also the Mercy Thompson series which I have been reviewing here. ![]() ![]() I’ll try to discuss that a bit in the beginning to lend some context to this review. For one thing, I have read all of the other books in this series, but they were all before Kate and I started this blog, so the progression of my feelings for this particular series isn’t already documented. Review: This is going to be a really challenging review to write. Now Charles and Anna must use their skills–his as enforcer, hers as peacemaker–to track down the attackers, reopening a painful chapter in the past that springs from the darkest magic of the witchborn… Heading into the mountainous wilderness, they interrupt the abduction of the wolf–but can’t stop blood from being shed. With their Alpha out of the country, Charles and Anna are on call when an SOS comes in from the fae mate of one such wildling. Close enough to the Marrok’s pack to have its support far enough away to not cause any harm. For their own good, they have been exiled to the outskirts of Aspen Creek, Montana. The werewolves too damaged to live safely among their own kind.

Brief Summary of Book: Rea and the Blood of the Nectar (The Chronicles of Astranthia, #1) by Payal Doshi ![]() ![]() ![]() Although he’s a (non-dogmatic, thoughtful) progressive, Pinker has plenty of admonitions for his own kind so whether liberal or conservative, you’ve been warned. In Pinker’s it will sometimes prove discomfiting, since you’ll likely find yourself corrected in your (as it turns out) under- evidenced conclusions on one or more sensitive topics. ![]() The writing in between is always engaging despite being so faithful to facts, the recitation of which in other hands might prove tedious. True, there’s a long way to go in many parts of the US and the planet to reach anything like an optimum distribution of such goods, but the arc of progress thus far is irrefutable according to the meticulously researched data Pinker presents, averaging a graph every three or four pages in the middle chapters. He finds fault with the “progressophobes” who, he says, unreasonably deny or downplay the hard facts of our betterment over the centuries: we are as a species richer in opportunity, education, freedom, security, human rights and social equality than ever before. ![]() ![]() Elaborating on a theme of his earlier publication, The Better Angels of Our Nature, Pinker marshals a wealth of evidence for the proposition that globally we’ve made immense progress in just about all domains of human flourishing. With the very idea of a shared, objective reality in question, we’re fortunate that Steven Pinker offers a spirited defense of reason and science, and the progressive, humanistic fruits thereof, in his new book Enlightenment Now. ![]() |
