While the powerlessness of the laboring class is a recurring theme in Steinbeck's work of the late 1930s, he narrowed his focus when composing 'Of Mice and Men' (1937), creating an intimate portrait of two men facing a world marked by petty tyranny, misunderstanding, jealousy, and callousness.

If I wanted perfection, I would gaze upon Tom Hiddleson's face for eternity. She is adored by family, friends, a miniture pillar of the community. ![]() This book completely fails at explaining Homicidal Tendency Syndrome, which is completely ludicrous since it is the very backbone of the book, and the heroine is the most annoyingly perfect I have ever read. This book suffers from two main things: one of the most unconvincing premises I have ever read in a book that aspires to be a dystopia, and a heroine with whom I found hard so sympathize due to her own overwhelming insistence that she is special. It took no less than the jaws of life to knock her off the fucking pedestal on which she has planted her throne. "I ALWAYS KNEW I WAS DIFFERENT."I groaned out loud as I read the very first sentence of the narrative.ĭavy is the picture perfect spoiled, pampered princess who is firmly ensconced in her fluffy, warm cocoon of a life. ![]() ![]() If you’re interested in exploring more of the historical data on year’s NYC had a White Christmas for yourself, WNYC has a handy interactive chart.

She intensely disliked the book, too, and got blowback from feminist writers for saying so. Instead of writing an essay on How Should A Person Be?, I took on the form of the book, and vented in an email to an editor who shall remain unnamed. ![]() It celebrates selfishness and insularity as a path to “authenticity”-Heti (or “Heti”) grows a bit by the book’s end but only in the sense that she knows more about herself, not about any other part of the world around her. How Should A Person Be? extols and details clearly the narcissism of the book’s intended demographic-young, educated, urban white women with creative aspirations. Heti’s frustrated me before, and I’m tired of circling around this drain, particularly because the blogosphere’s love for this book is deep and virulent. Indeed, the novel ostensibly concerns Heti’s attempts to write a play, which then becomes the book you read. Those transcriptions-meandering walk-and-talks, email exchanges, coffeeshop chatter-dominate the book, acting as a sort of closet play. I hated the novel/memoir’s insularity and lack of curiosity about the outside world, even if I was occasionally charmed by some of its (many) rambling transcriptions of conversations. I tried to write a full review of Sheila Heti’s How Should A Person Be? but I became as frustrated and incoherent as the novel’s protagonist, a Toronto writer/layabout also named Sheila Heti. ![]() ![]() ![]() After a march of hundreds of miles from Sardis, the two sides met at Cunaxa, north of Babylon.

To encourage fidgety school boys to pay attention to their Greek lessons, English and American headmasters would frequently assign Xenophon’s Anabasis of Cyrus (The Ascent of Cyrus, sometimes rendered as “The March Up-Country” and popularly titled “ The Persian Expedition”).
