Finally, when shit hit the fan and everything was ruined, I was hooked. Once the story passed into a period of cute romance, I was more into it. The plot felt very generic to start and I found Tanner incredibly irritating. I have to say, I was NOT feeling this book to start. And it takes less than a month for Tanner to fall completely in love with him.Ĥ Stars! A really remarkable read that lives up to the hype. After all, it takes only one second for him to notice Sebastian Brother, the Mormon prodigy who sold his own Seminar novel the year before and who now mentors the class. It turns out, Tanner is only partly right: four months is a long time. Writing a book in four months sounds simple. Now, with one semester of high school to go, and no obstacles between him and out-of-state college freedom, Tanner plans to coast through his remaining classes and clear out of Utah.īut when his best friend Autumn dares him to take Provo High’s prestigious Seminar-where honor roll students diligently toil to draft a book in a semester-Tanner can’t resist going against his better judgment and having a go, if only to prove to Autumn how silly the whole thing is. Three years ago, Tanner Scott’s family relocated from California to Utah, a move that nudged the bisexual teen temporarily back into the closet. Goodbye stagnant lifestyle, hello grand adventure. So when he got that call for the search and rescue job he’d been gunning for, he’d nearly shit himself. Not the kind of excitement he’d been hoping for, making him one bored-off-his-gourd commercial airline pilot. Too much drama and backstabbing, whether from family members or company politics. Had been more than happy to get the fuck out of dodge. He’d left a lot of bullshit behind when he joined the space program. Not that Garret missed Earth all that much. Like home, but not quite, albeit definitely just as beautiful. What’s more, with nearly the same land to water ratio as Earth, it had an unexpectedly comforting appeal. Would you look at that.” Kegan scanned the alien planet, awed by its beauty.Ī tapestry of rich purples, oranges and blues, intertwined in a backdrop of green. After miles of descent in virtually zero visibility-the high altitude cloud cover having been thick as pea soup-it was reassuring and incredible to finally see what they were heading toward.

Produced for The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, this harrowing tale of juvenile delinquency is presented in TWO different drafts-one with Ellison’s extensive hand-written revisions-illustrating the author’s creative process. “Memos From Purgatory”-Ellison’s adaptation of his memoir about life in a Brooklyn gang. Michael Straczynski, creator of Babylon 5 and writer of the Clint Eastwood-directed film Changeling, in which he describes the importance of seeing actual script pages as the author originally wrote them. The present study seeks to build upon the foundation they have constructed. These four critical works have served and continue to serve a useful purpose for new students of Achebe's writing. Wren's Achebe's World, was published in 1980 and provides important historical and anthropological background and annotation for the novels. Three of those books were first written more than fifteen years ago – although they have been revised since to take into account Achebe's short fiction and poetry – and they are concerned chiefly with describing the novels in terms of their central themes, conflicts and characters. Yet, although Achebe's first and most influential novel, Things Fall Apart, was published thirty years ago, critical discussion of his work as a whole has rarely moved beyond books designed as introductions. They have also provided a model for succeeding African novelists to follow and contend with. His novels and critical pronouncements have profoundly influenced his readers' understanding of Africans and their lives and have formed the basis for many a discussion of ‘the African novel’.
