Gregory Walter Graffin is an American punk rock musician and college professor. That may disappoint modern readers, but it feels truer to the mores of the time.īloom's novel has a more complicated structure, flashing back from the last weekend the two spent together in the wake of Franklin's death. The Hick in McNees' book is far more discreet, demurring on the sexual details, because "I had promised to protect" Eleanor. Bloom does not shy away from the sex, or Eleanor as an object of desire. Her Hick speaks in a harsh voice with plenty of profanity. Her book is the more visceral and frank of the two. Should the novelist invent details and conversations that can't be confirmed? Is it fair to dramatize the sex lives of our dead heroes, especially one as private and shy as Eleanor Roosevelt?īloom apparently thinks so. Novelists Amy Bloom and Kelly O'Connor McNees each have taken on the task of imagining that relationship. After destroying some of the more incendiary ones, Hickok donated the remainder to the Franklin D. In fact, an intimacy existed between the two women that was documented in more than 3,000 letters they exchanged. Lash, who knew the Roosevelts well and made a cottage industry out of writing about them, barely mentions Hickok in his book "Eleanor and Franklin." Until recently, historians had largely ignored Hickok - she preferred "Hick" - and the nature of her relationship with the first lady. In the genre of reimagined historical lives, we are presented with not one but two novels about Eleanor Roosevelt and Associated Press reporter Lorena Hickok.

The adaptation of “White Oleander” author’s 2006 story - about a survivor of the Los Angeles punk scene of the ‘80s (a role that would presumably be a nice fit for the former "Joan of Arcadia") who has more trouble escaping the suicide of her boyfriend, though she begins a touch-and-go relationship with his mother - would be Tamblyn’s first stab at a screenplay, though it’s hardly her first work as a writer. What I glimpsed was a promising three-hander from director Gabriel Cowan and I’ll save a full set report to closer to the film’s release, but I couldn’t leave without asking Tamblyn about something she teased when she left her recent stint on the TV series “House,” telling TVLine she was “taking a little break and adapting a book that I worked three years trying to buy the rights to.”īefore I even finished asking what book it was, Tamblyn exclaimed, “It’s Janet Fitch’s last novel “Paint it Black.” I wrote the script and it’s in development right now.” I spent the morning on the set of “3 Nights in the Desert,” a drama starring Amber Tamblyn, Wes Bentley and “Boardwalk Empire” star Vincent Piazza as former bandmates who reunite for an uncomfortable extended weekend on the occasion of their coincidentally close 30 th birthdays.

Will Lucien's plan to deal with these creatures fail or triumph? You'll just have to read the book to find out! He's the only person that can identify the murders for what they are: the work of rogue vampires who have broken away from his order. But all of that changes when she falls in love with Lucien Antonescu, a sexy Romanian history professor (and as she comes to realize, vampire). Though Meena may be able to see others' futures, she has never been able to predict her own. Just as the show's new theme begins to attract a younger audience, a series of strange murders spread throughout New York City. But her job as a writer for one of the hottest daytime soap operas, Insatiable, just won't allow her to escape the craze!

Poirot's powers of investigation ultimately triumph over the wiles of an assailant whose misdirection and motives are nearly-but not quite-impossible to spot.Ĭontains a character key, a detailed biography, and an illustrated list of notable Poirot portrayals. When Hercule Poirot and his associate Arthur Hastings arrive in the French village of Merlinville-sur-Mer to meet their client Paul Renauld, they learn from the police that he has been found that morning stabbed in the back with a letter opener and left in a newly-dug grave adjacent to a local golf course.Īmong the plausible suspects are Renauld's wife Eloise, his son Jack, Renauld's immediate neighbor Madame Daubreuil, the mysterious "Cinderella" of Hasting's recent acquaintance, and some unknown visitor of the previous day-all of whom Poirot has reason to suspect. The entire world undergoes apocalypses on a periodic basis, as regular as weather patterns. The story takes place in a land called the Stillness, a tragically ironic name, seeing as how the geography is in constant, violent flux. Sure, there's a whopping glossary at the end of the book - two of them, actually - but that simply underscores how much sumptuous detail and dimensionality she's packed into her premise. Jemisin's new novel, The Fifth Season, the payoff is astounding. Positively, fantasy-novel glossaries help the reader keep track of an intricate clockwork of imaginary peoples, places, and things - and that intricacy actually pays off. Negatively, they're self-indulgent exercises in building fictional worlds, with the author fixating on the sheer quantity of settings and characters to the exclusion of all else. There are two ways to look at the kind of fantasy novels that come with big glossaries at the end. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.

It’s understandable for fans who have followed King from the beginning to be disappointed and grateful that Cell is the final book in the series. The first few pages of King’s novel are littered with readers being yanked off their feet. This is the most gruesome novel in years that Stephen King has written.

The novel was well-received by critics, with many praising King’s return to horror after a long absence from the genre. The story follows a group of survivors in New England after a mysterious pulse from a cellphone turns most of the world’s population into mindless zombies.
