![]() ![]() This major new biography celebrates two complicated pioneers who exploded the limits of possibility. They prevailed against fierce resistance from the male establishment, moving among Britain, France, and America during a tumultuous time of scientific discovery and civil war. ![]() Together they founded the first hospital staffed entirely by women, in New York City.īoth sisters were tenacious and visionary, but their convictions did not always align with the emergence of women’s rights―or with each other. Her achievement made her an icon―“I am convinced that a new & nobler era is dawning, for Medicine,” she wrote―but her sister Emily, eternally eclipsed, was the more brilliant physician. ![]() The world recoiled at the notion of a woman doctor, yet Elizabeth Blackwell persisted―in 1849, she became the first woman in America to receive an MD.

Vogue: What was it like, making the transition from comedy writing to fiction? Recently, Vogue spoke to Cauley about working her obsession with coffee into The Survivalists, making the conscious choice not to write a “COVID book,” the best thing she’s read recently, and more. ![]() Yet *The Survivalists-*author and comedy writer Kashana Cauley’s debut novel about a single Black lawyer who lets her budding relationship with a coffee entrepreneur lead her into an underground world of gun-stockpiling preppers-is definitely worth the plunge.Ĭauley has written for shows including The Great North and The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, and her debut novel is crafted with the kind of comedic timing you’d expect from someone with her resume, but the story is also spooky and suspenseful enough to haunt you long after you’ve put your copy down. ![]() After the past three years of the COVID-19 pandemic, you would be forgiven for feeling uneasy about exploring even fictional dystopias. ![]() ![]() ![]() We report CCD photometry of 2060 Chiron from two apparitions. Additionally, it will discuss the problems of literary appropriations and influence. This study will explore the responses given to Schulz's stories by Foer and Bolaño and examine the mechanisms governing their creative work. In this process, they become what Bruno Schulz calls "demiurges". ![]() In this paper it will be argued that both authors tend to follow in Pierre Menard's footsteps (in spite of his being a fictional character invented by Jorge Luis Borges), combining the roles of readers and writers in order to reinvent or reinterpret the works of their predecessors. However, following the tracks of Schulz's oeuvre in their novels allows one to analyze Foer and Bolaño contrariwise: as inspired readers. Both Jonathan Safran Foer, a popular American author, and Roberto Bolaño, a critically acclaimed Chilean novelist, seem to approach the work of Bruno Schulz, a Polish-Jewish writer, with what Rorty calls (in "The Pragmatist's Prog-ress") "methodical reading". According to Richard Rorty, readers can either use a text knowing what they want to get out of it in advance, or with the hope that it will enable them to want something different, change their life. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() For as long as ten-year-old Moon can remember.

Part memoir, part pastoral-theological reflection, this book wrestles with three main areas of struggle that many gay Christians face: (1) What is God’s will for sexuality? (2) If the historic Christian tradition is right and same-sex behavior is ruled out, how should gay Christians deal with their resulting loneliness? (3) How can gay Christians come to an experience of grace that rescues them from crippling feelings of shame and guilt? Author Wesley Hill is not advocating that it is possible for every gay Christian to become straight, nor is he saying that God affirms homosexuality. This is a book written primarily for gay Christians and those who love them. ![]() ![]() ![]() Written by a wildlife biologist, the novel is strong on themes dealing with poaching and the need for conservation, but what I liked best about it was the thrill of seeing who would win the deadly stalking game that went round and round through the mountain forests, as well as reading about the puma\’s natural behavior and predatory instincts. 0 Ratings 3 Want to read 0 Currently reading 0 Have read Borrow Listen.

Priscilla Wald argues that we need to understand the appeal and persistence of the outbreak narrative because the stories we tell about disease emergence have consequences. The “outbreak narrative” begins with the identification of an emerging infection, follows it through the global networks of contact and contagion, and ends with the epidemiological work that contains it. How should we understand the fear and fascination elicited by the accounts of communicable disease outbreaks that proliferated, following the emergence of HIV, in scientific publications and the mainstream media? The repetition of particular characters, images, and story lines-of Patients Zero and superspreaders, hot zones and tenacious microbes-produced a formulaic narrative as they circulated through the media and were amplified in popular fiction and film. ![]() |
