Jaouad quotes Susan Sontag in her book Illness as Metaphor, “Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick.” In part healing means navigating from the kingdom of the sick to the kingdom of the well and to honor that she embarks on a pilgrimage, a 100 day road trip. When her medical team declares her cured, she learns the healing needs to begin. And a marrow-deep weariness at a situation that dragged on… p. Along with the chemo, an ugliness was coursing through my veins. I looked terrible–because I was horrible, I thought, with a nauseating swell of shame. I bent over the sink and splashed my face with cold water and looked in the mirror. This is all important, but what really moved me in this book was the honest revelations about herself, a young woman going through such crushing pain and uncertainty, and about her needs and desires, met and unmet. ![]() ![]() Much of the book details the four years of round after round of chemo, a clinical trial, and a bone marrow transplant, and near-death reckonings –written clearly and beautifully. At age 22 Suleika Jaouad learned she had leukemia and a 35 percent chance of survival. ![]() ![]() ![]() Who He’d Succeed: Michael Gambon (who took over for Richard Harris after he passed away in 2002) Previous Credits: Doctor Who, The Musketeers, Big Mouth Keep scrolling to see all of our Harry Potter dream castings, then drop a comment with your own! (HBO Max has already made a 10-year commitment to its Harry Potter project, so we’ll see some of these other characters down the road.) ![]() Instead, we’ve made our picks for nearly 20 of Harry Potter‘s adult cast members, many of whom will appear in the show’s first season. We’ve also kept our picks to adult roles only we suspect many of the young Hogwarts students, including Harry, will be played by relative newcomers, and we admit our knowledge of 11-year-old British thespians is limited. Rowling’s novels feature dozens of characters that flit in and out of her fictional world. The hallways of Hogwarts will be bustling on screen once again, and we already know who we’d like to see walking them.įollowing the April announcement that HBO Max has ordered a Harry Potter TV adaptation to series, Team TVLine has conjured its own ideas for who might play some of the franchise’s most iconic characters.Īs you’ll notice in our wish list below - which includes a Ted Lasso star, a former Doctor Who leading man and not one, but two Lucifer alumni - we haven’t dream-cast every Harry Potter role, as J.K. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A servant tells him that it used tonhold a horrible painting that was “black and ugly”. “The Ebony Frame” (1891) – After a man inherits a house following the passing of an aunt, he becomes curious about an ebony frame he finds inside. He swears he’ll be back to marry her when he leaves for a trip shortly beforehand.ģ. “John Charrington’s Wedding” (1891) – A man finally wins the hand of the most beautiful woman in town after countless refusals.

Before you mistake the book for being exclusively filled with deep reflection it is also comes loaded with hilarious stories about vacation romances and an alter ego that she describes as being “Kristin-Adjacent.” It won’t be long before the bridesmaids dresses are followed by baby showers *cringe.* The memoir is an account of the dozens of trips she has taken throughout her life thus far and how she found deep meaning in traveling alone. The title says it all for me because like Kristin, I am beginning to observe friends and family taking the next step in their life by finding guys to settle down with. To fuel my deep love of travel I picked up Kristin Newman‘s memoir: What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding. This summer is not about taking grand adventures for me and so to satisfy the intense wanderlust in my heart I often look for books about travelers that have lived a life that I imagine for myself. ![]() ![]() Wyeth gained widespread acclaim when the Museum of Modern Art, New York, purchased what is widely considered his most famous painting Christina’s World, 1948, in 1949. ![]() As his technique developed, Wyeth began to increasingly use tempera in addition to watercolor, a technique that has been credited with the severe, bleak, and even nostalgic atmosphere present within much his work. Wyeth showed an early aptitude for painting, and was given his first solo exhibition by the Macbeth Gallery in New York City in 1937 at the age of twenty showing mostly works done in watercolor on paper, the show sold out. The Wyeth family alternated their time between Chadds Ford and the area of Cushing, Maine, and both locales feature prominently throughout the artist’s oeuvre. Both son and pupil to his father, the successful illustrator Newell Convers Wyeth, he began studying art at a young age, as poor childhood health necessitated that he be educated at home. Andrew Wyeth was born on Jin Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. ![]() ![]() ![]() Published in 1940, For Whom the Bell Tolls tells the story of Robert Jordan, a young American in the International Brigades attached to an antifascist guerilla unit in the mountains of Spain. Three years later he completed the greatest novel to emerge from “the good fight,” and one of the foremost classics of war literature in history. In 1937 Ernest Hemingway traveled to Spain to cover the civil war there for the North American Newspaper Alliance. Presented by Hemingway's grandson Seán Hemingway, with a personal foreword by the author’s son Patrick Hemingway, this new enhanced Library Edition of Ernest Hemingway's masterpiece about an American in the Spanish Civil War features early drafts and supplementary material, including three previously uncollected short stories on war by one of the greatest writers on the subject in history. ![]() ![]() Similarly, she traces the lucrative diet-and-exercise industry, in which women are encouraged to be perpetually hungry and fixate on food, back to traditional ideas about food and social hierarchy. These chapters are “Work,” “Culture,” “Religion,” “Sex,” “Hunger,” “Violence,” and “Beyond the Beauty Myth.” Wolf analyzes the beauty myth within these specific contexts, as well as the way these contexts interplay and overlap to enforce patriarchal beauty standards for women.Įven though the beauty myth is primarily linked to modern consumerism, the author links it to patriarchal ideas from earlier historic periods such as the biblical creation of Eve from Adam’s rib. The following seven chapters analyze the way the beauty myth has spread in the West in the context of consumerism and mass culture, especially after the Industrial Revolution. The link between the beauty myth and “a long hard struggle for identity” is the main theme in this text (285). Wolf defines the beauty myth as a commodified, censored, and unreachable physical ideal to which women must adhere. The first chapter, “The Beauty Myth,” defines the book’s subject matter and some of its key themes ranging from religion to elective cosmetic surgery. ![]() ![]() This study guide refers to the 2009 HarperCollins eBook edition.Ĭontent Warning: This book references disordered eating and domestic violence. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Noah is not the first of the Turners to meet the monster, but he is the first to let it into his room… Unbeknownst to them, Noah is being visited by a wolfish beast with glowing orange eyes.
