![]() Acilde finds a fulfilling life once he arrives in the past, and there’s an ecstatic element to some of these passages-the allure of an idyllic life in a scenic location while great music can be found. ![]() Its protagonist, Acilde, leaves a dystopian future for a voyage back in time, to avert the catastrophic circumstances that led the world down such a bleak path-but it’s also a journey that effectively bifurcates Acilde’s consciousness. A partial list would include environmental catastrophes, time travel, gender and society, and the Caribbean’s relationship to the rest of the Americas.Īs translated by Achy Obejas, Tentacle is a compelling combination of seemingly disparate elements. Tentacle goes in the opposite direction: part of the novel’s charm is in checking off all of the things that Indiana includes in the narrative. Some short novels use their size to deliver a hyper-focused dose of plot and setting to the reader-immersing them in a character’s psyche or exploring the ramifications of a particular action. Rita Indiana’s Tentacle is a novel I’ve written about multiple times, which might give you a sense of how I feel about it. ![]() Tentacle by Rita Indiana, translated from the Spanish by Achy Obejas (And Other Stories) ![]() ![]() Tobias Carroll is the author of the books Reel , Transitory, and the forthcoming Political Sign.

And he does all of it in his inimitable voice and through his cartoon stand-in narrator, mixing dry humor and legitimate instruction. In Reinventing Comics, McCloud took this to the next level, charting twelve different revolutions in how comics are generated, read, and perceived today. Making Comics: Storytelling Secrets of Comics, Manga and Graphic Novels Scott McCloud tore down the wall between high and low culture in 1993 with Understanding Comics, a massive comic book about comics, linking the medium to such diverse fields as media theory, movie criticism, and web design. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Someone who is content to leave some of those dreams behind, to let dreams be dreams. As I read through these Stations I found myself wondering if this is the sort of comfort that comes with age, with living out the exciting days of youth, eventually settling into the routine of someone who’s seen much of the world. Smith’s world, or at least the way she tells of it, oscillating between cafes and cowboy dreams and far-off destinations, seems comfortable. Her cicerone, the cowboy (who I can’t help but picture as Sam Elliot playing The Stranger in The Big Lebowski), guides her through her nightly alternate realities, offering words of mystic wisdom along the way. I wake with a blank slate while M Train‘s author, Patti Smith, meets recurring characters. I’ve often wondered what makes one person so susceptible to vivid dreams over another. Mostly, I wake with a mood hanging over me - melancholy, a wisp of laughter, sadness…the last vestiges of what went on throughout the night in my head. Places from my past revisited again and again, a sporadic loop, recalled only in sputters and spurts long after their curtain closes.

What’s more, she argues that these weak families and unhappy marriages are in fact destructive for society as a whole. Though she doesn’t ignore questions surrounding male virtue, she devotes more attention to the inadequate moral training which, she believes, leaves women ill-prepared to find worthy husbands and to build enduring marriages and families. Throughout A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, Wollstonecraft is often concerned with unequal relationships between men and women, including in marriage. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() (With Alistair Moffat) Tyneside: A History of Newcastle and Gateshead from Earliest Times, Mainstream Publishing (Edinburgh), 2005.Ĭurious Scotland: Tales from a Hidden History, Thomas Dunne Books ( New York, NY), 2006.Īlso author of a British Broadcasting Corporation radio script on the battle of Dien Bien Phu.
