"The results that you saw on the water today are really the results of our entire roster of 65 women. "Everything we do is built towards this moment," said Farooq. Princeton was third with 113, while two-time defending champion Texas tied Yale for fourth with 110 points (Texas was awarded fourth place based on the tie-breaker – finish in first eights final). Stanford totaled 129 points to earn the title, with UW compiling 120. Washington also finished second in the fours petite final, good for eighth place overall.

Indeed, the book takes much of its power from what Edmund rejected. One of the strengths of Father and Son is that the father's humanity confronts us as much as his religious obsessions. But he was not (and Edmund knew he was not) the "monster" that some readers saw in Edmund's portrayal of his father. That Philip Henry Gosse was one is undeniable. My parents were not fanatics of any sort. Most adolescents long to get away from the constraints and expectations of the parental home, and that over-anxious love so many of us experience. I looked at my own diaries recently, trying to find some enthusiastic reactions to that first reading, but it is simply one book among many in a list. But I think this might have been a case of being wise after the event, of rewriting the story, as Edmund himself did all the time. In the introduction to my biography of Edmund Gosse, I described it as "one of the formative books of my youth". I first read Father and Son in the little green Heinemann edition I found on my parents' shelves when I was 16 or so. It is the only book by either of the Gosses that is in print today, though in the years between 18 they published between them more than 90 books, as well as masses of contributions to periodicals, on natural history in the father's case, on literature in the son's. Raffy is secure in himself, but he doesn't leave much room for other people. He's anxious and determined and lonely but also scared of letting others in. Overall: 4Ĭharacters: 5 I identified with Raffy deeply. Unfolding on duel timelines, we follow Raffy and Luca's journey falling in and out of love and maybe back in over the course of one of Boston's biggest comic cons. Buff and a soccer player, Luca looks like the last person Raffy wants to befriend, but Luca is drawn into Raffy's cosplaying world despite having to hide the hobby (and Raffy himself) from his parents. Raffy is driven and determined despite the lack of support, and his focus doesn't wane until Luca stumbles into his life. Despite having an artistic mother, she looks down on his pursuits as childish and a waste of time. He knows how to sew, bedazzle, conceptualize, and execute intricate costumes that allow him to embody his favorite characters at conventions. Overview: Raffy is one of the most talented cosplayers in Boston. Thank you to the publisher for providing me with an ARC so I could share my honest thoughts with all of you! Ann Douglas’s introductory essay provides further background on Burroughs in the context of American letters and his Beat contemporaries. Important biographical information, contained in the chapter introductions, provide key links to understanding the work in the context of the life. Burroughs Reader follows major themes in Burroughs’ oeuvre while also serving up a sampling of his darkly hilarious “routines,” and is edited to serve as a tool for the scholar as well as an overview of his entire body of work for the general reader. Burroughs Reader brings together selections of Burroughs’ most important and challenging work”beginning with his very early writing (including a chapter from his and Jack Kerouac’s never-before-seen collaborative novel, And The Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks) and following his trajectory through My Education: A Book of Dreams. With the publication of Naked Lunch in 1959, William Burroughs brought international letters into the postmodern age, but he had already begun to chart the course that would establish him as one of postwar America’s most influential writers.

You can’t help who you fall in love with, right? It wasn’t his place after how he treated her. Honestly, Beau didn’t deserve an explanation. Emerson became a little frustrating over not telling his son, but you could also understand it a little. I loved the dynamic between them and how it developed. It was a relief when they finally gave in. I understand their reservations because of Beau, but it just kept building and building. The sexual tension was almost painful to read. I loved watching her grow and becoming stronger during the book. They just click though, the spark there from the beginning. They meet under unusual circumstances, Emerson mistaking her for someone else. He’s so alpha male and yet incredibly caring. Holy shit, where do I find one? He was a fantastic character.

Kliban’s first collection of cartoons was called “Cat” (1975), the perfect book for someone who appreciates the fact that cats are basically real-life comic strips. There's something funny and vulnerable and innocent about them.'' In a rare interview in 1978, Kliban once said that he wasn’t the world’s biggest feline fan, but rather enjoyed depicting cats for their humorous nature: “'I like them, but I'm not silly about them,” he reasoned Cats look like cartoons. Playboy gave Kliban the platform to thrive as a published artist, but he will always be remembered for his charming cats. His cartoons would intentionally and unintentionally spoof the otherwise serious and sexy pages of Playboy. When he moved to California and began drawing cartoons for Playboy, people began to notice Kliban’s knack for playful, honest satire. He briefly attended Pratt Institute and dropped out to travel and paint. Like fellow cartoonist Bill Watterson, Bernard Kliban shied away from the public eye, and not much is known about his personal life. Kliban’s iconic drawings are plastered all over multiple shirts on our site, mostly in the Hawaii tourist category.
