It could also be seen as belonging to the efflorescence of tough, post- "minimalist" American stories as produced by such figures as Thom Jones and Denis Johnson. Some reviewers saw it as being close to reportage, others as a fragmentary autobiographical novel. Although it was laid out as a story collection, Drown wasn't billed as such by its publishers. But there was less agreement about what kind of writer Díaz was. When first published, it was widely seen as marking the arrival of a young writer to be reckoned with. Junot Díaz's first book, Drown (1996), detailed the lives of children in the Dominican Republic and, later, of young men and their difficult parents in New Jersey's immigrant ghettoes. 27 cm Type: Exhibitions Place: Sweden Stockholm Date: 1969 1969 Topic: Drawing Search this Call number: NC27.S8 S86 NC27.S8S86 Data Source: Smithsonian Libraries.

We love to chat about romance novels, hum *Romance Readers who love Happily Ever Afters* If this describes you, then you've come to the right place. *Romance Readers who love Happily Ever Afters* Tetlock learned this the hard way when the data from his pioneering research found that the majority of expert forecasts were no more accurate than chance (which the popular press misinterpreted to mean “forecasting is pointless''). To appreciate the value of forecasting, we have to frame it the right way. When the authors use the term “forecasting,” they’re referring to formal predictions expressed with numerical probabilities. Tetlock is the co-founder of two major, research-focused forecasting tournaments: Expert Political Judgment and the Good Judgment Project. Superforecasting has two authors: Dan Gardner, a journalist and author of three books on the science of prediction and Philip Tetlock, a psychologist and pioneering forecasting researcher. Not everyone is cut out to be a superforecaster, but by studying the way superforecasters make predictions, anyone can improve their ability to predict the future. Superforecasters are intelligent, but more importantly, they’re open-minded, deeply curious, and adept at sidestepping their own cognitive biases. Superforecasting is the result of decades of research on “superforecasters”: people who can predict future events with an accuracy better than chance. 1-Page Summary 1-Page Book Summary of Superforecasting Yet as their fortunes rise, this perfect partnership comes under threat, from the searing passion of a lover who wants more than his allotted nights to the attentions of an admiring Turk in search of human novelties for his sultan’s court. Together they make the perfect partnership: the sharp-tongued, sharp-witted dwarf, and his vibrant mistress, trained from birth to charm, entertain, and satisfy men who have the money to support her. With a mix of courage and cunning they infiltrate Venetian society. Escaping the sack of Rome in 1527, with their stomachs churning on the jewels they have swallowed, the courtesan Fiammetta and her dwarf companion, Bucino, head for Venice, the shimmering city born out of water to become a miracle of east-west trade: rich and rancid, pious and profitable, beautiful and squalid. Thus begins In the Company of the Courtesan, Sarah Dunant’s epic novel of life in Renaissance Italy. My lady, Fiammetta Bianchini, was plucking her eyebrows and biting color into her lips when the unthinkable happened and the Holy Roman Emperor’s army blew a hole in the wall of God’s eternal city, letting in a flood of half-starved, half-crazed troops bent on pillage and punishment. The “low” are the ones that I want to read some day, but don’t really have the super drive right now to do so right now. To share this list I will start with the “low” books and work my way up. Honestly though, nothing is ‘very low’ on my list because if it is I will probably never read it as something will always be more important, so it shouldn’t be on my real TBR anyway. That is a lot of books to even think about so I’ve broken it down by my importance to read using a Very High to Very Low scale. I have officially come up with as complete a TBR as I can and it has 112 books on it. I’ve seen books and heard of books my whole life that I want to read some from genres that I’ve never tried before, some because they’re often banned or are controversial, some just because they look good or were recommended to me, and some because I never managed to finish the series that I started for one reason or another. There are so many wonderful books out there that I want to read. What they got was indefatigable leadership and a last chance at redemption. Their commander in chief, George Washington, is decidedly at the lowest point of his military career–certain to be relieved of his command. They’re physically and morally defeated, barely equipped or expected to survive the frigid winter ahead. The beleaguered troops stagger into a small Pennsylvania encampment 23 miles northwest of British-occupied Philadelphia. King George III’s army has pummeled the Continental Army into submission, the Continental Congress is in exile, and the American Revolution appears to be lost just 18 months after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. |
