Any time a novel is turned into a play certain story lines have to be dropped. “When you have the creator of the whole world, it behooves us to tap into that resource and it makes production that much sharper and that much richer.”Īs with “Plainsong,” Schmiedl has the actors step aside and give small bits of narration from the book. He was also happy to have the author on hand to provide his input. ![]() “I see my job as making dramatic what`s happening in the novel - not to make my own personal statement about that novel,” he said. But, he said, Haruf was very open to exploring the work.Ī lot of directors and playwrights are unapologetic about having their “own interpretation” and see it as their own separate work (some won`t allow writers on set to keep them from pulling actors in different directions). “Theater is all about collaboration,” said the playwright, Eric Schmiedl, which makes it very different from the solitary work of a novelist. ![]()

I wouldn’t die for them or anything but they don’t irritate me. In fact, it’s very dark, and I applaud some of the things Meyer wasn’t afraid to do. On the other hand, it moves quickly, and it’s surprisingly dark for a YA book. Plus, I read this thinking it was a standalone, and discovering there’s a cliffhanger ending did not endear the book to me. I also found the writing stilted at times. It’s a retelling of Rumpelstiltskin set in a Germanic fantasy world, only sometimes the characters speak in a weirdly modern way and it really threw me off. But love wasn’t meant to be part of the bargain.ĪRC received in exchange for an honest review – thank you! ![]() In despair, Serilda unwittingly summons a mysterious young man to her aid. ![]() The king locks Serilda in a castle dungeon and orders her to spin straw into gold, or be killed for lying.

One of her teachers told her, “When you find what your good at, like science-you’ll soar.” Because of the encouragement of others, Temple was able to go to college and became one of the most powerful voices in modern science. While many believed that Temple would “never be normal,” others saw Temple’s potential. “Fitting in on a farm was less stress since the pigs didn’t care if your hair was a mess.” Temple loved cows and she wanted to make farms better. Temple loved the animals and finally felt like she was fitting in. ![]() School was difficult for Temple, and her mother sent her to live on her aunt’s ranch. A special teacher helped Temple learn to speak and encouraged her by saying that Temple was “different, not less.” You must send her away.” But Temple’s mother never gave up on her.

GAIMAN: So far, I've written comics, novels, non-fiction books, short stories, television movies, radio plays and poems, and of all those media, radio plays is easily my favorite, because you get all the joy of movie-making while still engaging the listener's imagination. Gaiman, I'm curious, which format of story telling have you found more enjoyable, comic books or novels? ![]() So, writing a book to try to explain the place to myself seemed like a sensible thing to do.ĬHAT PARTICIPANT: Hello Mr. GAIMAN: I think the initial motive force was moving to America, where my wife is from, and although I thought I knew all about America from having seen the television and the movies, and having read the books, the longer I stayed out here, the less I realized I knew. ![]() ![]() Gaiman joined the CNN.com chat room to discuss his newest book, "American Gods," and his career as a writer.ĬNN: What prompted you to write the novel "American Gods?"

Gaiman is also one of the top writers of modern comic books and the creator and writer of the monthly DC comic series “Sandman,” for which he was awarded many of the industry's top awards. ![]() 7/6/2023 0 Comments Helena by Evelyn Waugh![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The book, published for the first time in 1950, is a study of a vocation, and the mysterious action of divine grace, a thematic path already started by the English writer with Brideshead Revisited and The Loved One, and which would continue in the following years with the trilogy Men at Arms, Officers and Gentlemen and Unconditional Surrender. Waugh traces the story of Saint Helena, the mother of Emperor Constantine and the one to whom, according to tradition, credit goes to having found the True Cross of Christ, as a path of growth from the paganism of her adolescence in Britain to the Faith of mature age, spent in Rome and then in Jerusalem. Here’s a translation of the beginning of the article:Ĭontrary to what Evelyn Waugh himself claimed, Elena ( Helena ) is by no means his best novel. ![]() The review is by Luca Fumagalli who frequently writes about Waugh’s works. An Italian translation of the novel was published as Elena: la madre dell’imperatore in 2002, but this review is not related to that publication, aside from a display of the cover art at the beginning of the article. The Italian religious news website Radio Spada has published a review of Waugh’s novel Helena. ![]() 7/6/2023 0 Comments The upside of falling about![]() ![]() Honestly though, that to me is usually all the review I need: if I don’t remember anything about it six months later, it probably wasn’t that great. I’ll keep this one short, because I didn’t take great notes and I don’t remember it well. Well it’s been almost six months since I finished this in June, which isn’t great as far as review-writing-memory goes. When the line between real and pretend begins to blur, they are forced to answer the question: is this fake romance the realest thing in either of their lives?
