There are all these different facets of what a relationship could be. There's the version where you go through a terrible disastrous separation. There's the version where you guys are forever happy and there's minimal speed bumps along the way. I think the most fascinating thing in terms of relationships is imagining all the different variations that they could be. On whether you even need a science fiction framework to explore the many different versions of a relationship And the Jason that we encounter in the opening of the book made the decision to pursue the family life. In this book we learn that 15 years ago, Jason and his wife - at that time his girlfriend - had met, they had crashed into each other and they had this pivotal moment of deciding whether or not to continue in this relationship or to pursue their own careers. Often what's scary about them is we don't know that those choices in this moment will define the rest of our lives. I wanted Jason Dessen to embody the polar extremes of the choices that we make in our lives that can set us down one road or another.

Steinhauer reinforces his position at the top of the espionage genre. In Olen Steinhauers best seller An American. A decade after Milo thought he had finally put Tourists-CIA trained assassins-to bed. The author does a masterly job of evoking dingy desert cities and the rarified air of Davos, Switzerland. New York Times best-selling author Olen Steinhauer brings back Milo Weaver in a new novel, The Last Tourist. No dummies survive in this twisty shadow realm, and Milo's wits keep him alive as the complex, layered plot reaches a shrewd, nuanced climax at the World Economic Forum, leaving the reader with the hope that global elites can’t rig the rules of every game. Milo eventually figures out that he’s being pursued by a darkly plausible, utterly ruthless assassins corps created by multinational corporations acting beyond the reach of any country’s laws to lock down global dominance. As chief of the Library, a stealthy espionage operation buried within the UN’s bureaucracy, Milo has been attempting to serve as a reasonably honest broker of sensitive information, but a series of increasingly violent assaults drives him into hiding in the Western Sahara. A decade ago, the CIA’s Department of Tourism, a corps of highly trained assassins, went defunct, but now something similar has emerged from its ruins in bestseller Steinhauer’s stunning fourth thriller featuring ex-CIA operative Milo Weaver (after 2012’s An American Spy).

We’ve labeled the rhymes in the poem to make them easier to see. So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, (G) When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st (F) Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade, (E) Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st (F) Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, (C)Īnd often is his gold complexion dimm’d (D)Īnd every fair from fair sometime declines, (C)īy chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimm’d (D)īut thy eternal summer shall not fade (E) Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, (A)Īnd summer’s lease hath all too short a date: (B) Thou art more lovely and more temperate: (B) Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? (A) It comes from the introductory line of Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare. For example, “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” is a turn of phrase that almost any English speaker can recognize. In fact, some of the most famous lines of English-language poetry come from sonnets. Amazingly, these rhyming 14-line poems have remained popular-in Italy and around the world-ever since. The word “sonnet” comes from the Italian word sonetto. A sonnet is a poetic form that originated in Sicily during the 13th century. He also wrote bestselling books, two of which inspired A Christmas Story he published columns in the Village Voice, Mad Magazine, and Playboy and he starred in two television series. He developed a cult following on late-night airwaves with his improvised stories about childhood in the Midwest, military service during World War II, and life as an infamous radio personality. While it's all but impossible to make it through December without encountering A Christmas Story, though, relatively few know about the man who’s behind the story: the unconventional '60s icon Jean Shepherd. The movie even casts a cultural shadow as long as Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life, according to a recent Marist poll. Fans can buy official Christmas Story leg lamps, vintage Red Ryder BB guns, and adult-sized bunny-rabbit onesies inspired by Aunt Clara's "deranged Easter Bunny" pajamas. There's a Christmas Story museum in Cleveland, across the street from the house where the movie was filmed, stuffed with props, collectables, and other sorts of on-set ephemera. It was adapted into a seasonal musical in 2011, with productions that appear every winter up and down the East Coast. More than 48 million people watched a 24-hour Christmas Story marathon last year, which airs annually from Christmas Eve until the evening of Christmas Day. Today, it's difficult to imagine a holiday season in America without A Christmas Story. |
