Seeing the adult Lucy Barton on TV, Patty remembers her as a girl from a "terribly poor" family whose tiny house smelled. Patty is one of three sisters known in their youth as the Pretty Nicely girls. In my favorite story here, "Windmills," high school guidance counselor Patty Nicely intersects with or remembers most of the leading characters in the book's other stories. In a few cases, we experience remarkable encounters from different points of view in different stories. Neither novel nor linked story collection strikes me as adequate terms to describe this book's ingenious structure, in which characters reappear in each other's stories. Characters mentioned briefly in "Lucy Barton," such as "Mississippi Mary" Mumford, come to the forefront in this new book, set largely in the fictional Illinois town of Amgash and neighboring communities.

These institutions exist inside and outside of the American state, with varying degrees of formal organization. Throughout the United States of America, there has been extremely harsh repression of different groups who find themselves the target of its white supremacist institutions. Keep in mind this is written with only decolonial communists in mind: anyone not taking Marxism as their premise can simply ignore this, which is targeted at people who claim to uphold both Sakaist thought and Marxism-Leninism. The interpretations of decolonial thought are as numerous as they are vague, so for this post, I’ve decided to focus on a work specific enough to merit discussion. I believed this would be an opportune time to address J Sakai’s book Settlers, which has been extremely influential among communists in the US, to their detriment. This controversy has already been commented on by Comrade Rashid of the New Afrikan Black Panther Party. This post is written in English, in light of recent controversy regarding the US-based organization Black Hammer. Whether you’re 6 or 60, whether you loved superheroes as a kid or catching them at the movie theater has made you a recent fan, this lighthearted and brilliantly illustrated graphic novel immediately appeals to readers of any age or comics experience. In the case of Dear Justice League, the new DC middle grade graphic novel by Michael Northrop and Gustavo Duarte, I nabbed that book from her before she even had a chance to crack open the delightful cover.ĭear Justice League is a rare comic that’s truly for all ages. Every time I hear her giggling at Teen Titans GO! or spot her flipping through a DC Super Hero Girls graphic novel, I think, kids these days have it so good with superhero stories! (Oh, no, I’m officially That Age where I use the words “kids these days.”)Īnd then I remember-there’s no super-villain stopping me from watching that show or borrowing that book from my daughter. In fact, I can’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy toward my ten-year-old. We live in a Golden Age of series, movies and books for the youngest superhero fans. |
