After being invited by EMI to listen to all of the Beatles' original session tapes, Lewisohn wrote The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions (1988). His 1986 book The Beatles Live! featured a complete history of all the Beatles' live performances, in a format which Lewisohn would follow for his subsequent books. Writing books and consulting on TV series, and ended up working for them. When he began researching the band, he "found that it was a deep and rewarding history that was, for the most part, not very well researched by anybody else, so I just found a career by becoming a Beatles expert, I suppose you would say. The fanzine commissioned him to answer fan letters after he won a quiz at the first London Beatles convention. Lewisohn has been writing about the Beatles since 1977, when he became a contributor to the fanzine Beatles Monthly.

Note: If half stars were available, I would give this a rating of 3.5, but as they are not, I have rounded down to 3, to reflect the fact that I enjoyed Not Quite Narwhal just a bit more. Recommended to fans of Not Quite Narwhal, and to picture-book readers looking for stories about friendship, or that feature magical creatures. The artwork is, unsurprisingly, adorable. Although I didn't think it was quite the equal of the first, I still found Nimbus' story very sweet, and appreciated its message that friendship must be built, rather than found. I haven't encountered that many picture-books about winged horses, save for retellings of the actual Pegasus myth, so I was happy on that score as well. Having greatly enjoyed the first story about Kelp, and how he figured out who he was and where he belonged, I picked up Perfectly Pegasus with some anticipation, glad that Sima was returning to this world of magical equines. Searching for the star together, Nimbus and Kelp develop what the little pegasus has been truly looking for: friendship. Her search leads her to a beautiful island, where she meets the Kelp and all of his unicorn and narwhal friends. About to wish on a falling star, our winged equine heroine misses her chance, setting out to find the star and the chance at her heart's desire. A little pegasus named Nimbus leads a lonely existence in the heavens in this charming follow-up to author/artist Jessie Sima's Not Quite Narwhal. He resented his mother for forbidding him from doing swimming and for giving preferential treatment to his adopted brother. Yu-jin finds his mother dead in his Incheon apartment and realizes that he is a murderer. The main character is Han Yu-jin, 25 years old in the story, who has an adopted brother, Kim Hae-jin. Anuradha Varma of Indian Express wrote that the book "also touches upon complicated family dynamics and how death changes relationships." Contents Sampath of The Hindu stated that the book centers on the "interiority" of the person who murders. Hachette India published the book in English in that country. This is the first Novel by Jeong to have an official English translation the author created three novels prior to this one. It was translated into English by Chi-Young Kim, with the translation published in 2018 by Little Brown Book Group. The Good Son ( Korean: 종의 기원 Jong-ui Giwon 'The Origin of Species') is a novel by You-Jeong Jeong, first published in South Korea in 2016 by Eunhaengnamu (도서출판 은행나무) ( ISBN 9788956609959). Seemingly as different from one another as can be, these women will nonetheless come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. Minny finally finds a position working for someone too new to town to know her reputation. She can cook like nobody's business, but she can't mind her tongue, so she's lost yet another job. Minny, Aibileen's best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi. She is devoted to the little girl she looks after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken. Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way. Skeeter would normally find solace with her beloved maid Constantine, the woman who raised her, but Constantine has disappeared and no one will tell Skeeter where she has gone.Īibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child. She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, and her mother will not be happy till Skeeter has a ring on her finger.

Branching Streams Flow in the Darkness is the first follow-up volume to Suzuki Roshi's important work. The book became the most successful treatise on Buddhism in English, selling more than one million copies to date. When Shunryu Suzuki Roshi's Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind was published in 1972, it was enthusiastically embraced by Westerners eager for spiritual insight and knowledge of Zen. In a single stroke, the simple sentence cuts through the pervasive tendency students have of getting so close to Zen as to completely miss what it's all about. Seldom has such a small handful of words provided a teaching as rich as has this famous opening line of Shunryu Suzuki's classic. "In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few." So begins this most beloved of all American Zen books. These books can be ordered through San Francisco Zen Center's Online Store. |
