Not only did he pick the book, but he collaborated with Blume on the screenplay for Tiger Eyes and also took the director’s helm. She left it up to her son, Lawrence (who has confessed to being the model for Blume’s Fudge books) to decide which of her books would make the transition to screen. Despite Blume’s reluctance, it was something she had hoped to do eventually, as long as it was under the right circumstances. Blume has admitted that much of the reason is due to her desire to maintain creative control over her stories. ![]() and simultaneously on VOD, stars Willa Holland, Amy Jo Johnson, and Tatanka Means.įor an author as prolific as Blume and at a time when movie rights to YA novels are sometimes sold long before readers can even get their hands on the books, it’s a bit puzzling that it’s taken so long for a Blume movie adaptation to happen. The film, which releases on June 7 in a small number of theaters across the U.S. Tiger Eyes, originally published in 1981 by Bradbury Press, is the first of Blume’s books to be adapted into a feature-length movie. Longtime fans of Blume will soon get the chance to see if that resonance transfers to the big screen. In fact, Blume herself reports keeping a box of tissues handy when she does signings, just in case a reader should need one. There’s something about Judy Blume’s novels that resonate emotionally with readers. ![]()

Using innovative research techniques and a vast range of unexpected sources this book tracks the rise and decline of the British autodidact from the pre-industrial era to the twentieth century."-BOOK JACKET "Which books did the British working classes read - and how did they read them? How did they respond to canonical authors, penny dreadfuls, classical music, school stories, Shakespeare, Marx, Hollywood movies, imperialist propaganda, the Bible, the BBC, the Bloomsbury Group? What was the quality of their classroom education, as they experienced it? How did they educate themselves? What was their level of cultural literacy: how much did they know about politics, science, history, philosophy, poetry, and sexuality? Who were the proletarian intellectuals, and why did they pursue the life of the mind?"

Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void is a nonfiction work by science author Mary Roach. ![]() ![]() Survival in fact is about the connections between things in Eliot’s phrase, reality cannot be deprived of the “other echoes inhabit the garden.” It is more rewarding - and more difficult - to think concretely and sympathetically, contrapuntally, about others than only about “us.” But this also means not trying to rule others, not trying to classify them or put them in hierarchies, above all, not constantly reiterating how “our” culture or country is number one (or not number one, for that matter). No one can deny the persisting continuities of long traditions, sustained habitations, national languages, and cultural geographies, but there seems no reason except fear and prejudice to keep insisting on their separation and distinctiveness, as if that was all human life was about. Yet just as human beings make their own history, they also make their cultures and ethnic identities. ![]() But its worst and most paradoxical gift was to allow people to believe that they were only, mainly, exclusively, white, or Black, or Western, or Oriental. ![]() Imperialism consolidated the mixture of cultures and identities on a global scale. ![]() Edward Saids Orientalism, a critical study of Western knowledge about the exotic, occupies this indeterminate historical. ![]() Labels like Indian, or woman, or Muslim, or American are not more than starting-points, which if followed into actual experience for only a moment are quickly left behind.

This is often why so many suburban gardens rely on gaudy meatballs that never change. When you have limited room, there’s so much pressure for each plant to look good for as long as possible.

In the coming days my senses became muted and muffled, my appetite vanished, and I found myself bombarded by intrusive thoughts and images.
