![]() ![]() The dress is brazenly revealing, but she counters that with a brilliantly haughty stare, and with classic Kate faux-artless hair and makeup – lots of black eyeliner, messy bun – so that she looks intriguing rather than simply doll-like. It's about a woman to whom having fun comes so naturally that she effortlessly picks the perfect party dress: in this case, a black Balenciaga number with an apron-style front referencing the house's classic styles, and bondage-style straps at the sides. As always with Kate, it's not really about the dress, it's about her. ![]() There are so many great Kate moments, but I don't think she has ever looked sexier than she did at the opening of the Mario Testino exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in January 2002. Brilliantly haughty: Moss wears Balenciaga at the Mario Testino exhibition in 2002. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Monique is a transgender woman whose love for Donna has ruined Donna’s career. As dark and as dangerous as the underworld becomes, the life that her protagonist has had to endure is equally as dark and foreboding. Hailey Piper draws us into this dark underworld by not only capturing the despair of those whom the world has abandoned but also by drawing us into the subterranean world of her characters’ souls. She goes in search of her love and that search takes her deep into the underworld of a cult that is waiting for its god, the Worm, to return. Monique, Donna’s lover and one of the abandoned (by society and her family), believes the creature has taken Donna to its lair. The novella begins with a monster kidnapping homeless women from an enclave of the lost in an abandoned subway line under New York City. There are layers within layers with layers to this story. The Worm and His Kings is that kind of novella. Orpheus Descending, Dante’s Inferno, Blade Runner, The Old Man and the Sea. It’s when the story takes on a kind of life that makes you think of bigger things. Call it literature, call it art, call it what you like. There comes a time for every reader that they suddenly realize that they are not just reading a good story, but that they are also reading something that has transcended simple good storytelling and entered the realm of the special. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ruth is a former teacher of creative writing with the University of Southern California and June Jordan’s Poetry for the People program at UC Berkeley, as well as a longtime faculty member with the VONA writing program.

I don’t want to sound like I’m giving all the credit to Abraham for the works of James S.A. Corey, which is the name for Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck working together while writing Science Fiction. Hanover, or straight-up Fantasy as Daniel Abraham, he’s equally good. Whether he’s writing Urban Fantasy under the name of M.L.N. I swear, I don’t have a man crush on Daniel Abraham. ![]() ![]() While the central events of this significant year were ones of devastation and defeat, 1666 also offers a glimpse of the incredible scientific and artistic progress being made at that time, from Isaac Newton's discovery of gravity to Robert Hooke's microscopic wonders. ![]() Based on original archival research and drawing on little-known sources, 1666: Plague, War and Hellfire takes readers on a thrilling journey through a crucial turning point in English history, as seen through the eyes of an extraordinary cast of historical characters.

By borrowing, imitating and learning from each other Paris and London invented the true metropolis. A Tale of Two Cities (Baker Street Readers) Hardcover Illustrated, April 1, 2020. ![]() We believe this work is culturally important and have elected to bring the book back into print as part of our continuing commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. A Tale of Two Cities has the best of Dickens and the worst of Dickens: a dark, driven opening, and a celestial but melodramatic ending a terrifyingly demonic villainess and (even by Dickens’ standards) an impossibly angelic heroine. Though we have made best efforts - the books may have occasional errors that do not impede the reading experience. Quality assurance was conducted on each of these books in an attempt to remove books with imperfections introduced by the digitization process. This is a pre-1923 historical reproduction that was curated for quality. ![]() ![]() ![]() 2 I also spoke with Rick Hiemstra, director of the Centre for Research on Canadian Evangelicalism, an office of the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada. 1 For this article, I approached Professor Sam Reimer of Atlantic Baptist University because I judge him to be the leading sociologist of evangelicalism in Canada. ![]() I myself am likely the most prominent of historians of contemporary Canadian evangelicalism. It's important to note that there simply isn't much solid statistical reporting about Canadian evangelicals in response to these issues. And I will conclude with what I think are the key implications of these observations and reflections for a federal Office of Religious Freedom, particularly as I coordinate these implications with some reflections on Canadian attitudes in general. I would like to suggest at least one form of improvement, and particularly how a federal Office of Religious Freedom can help.Īfter defining what I mean by "evangelicals," I will offer a series of observations about Canadian evangelicalism in regard to attitudes toward religious freedom, religious diversity, and human rights in general. ![]() Neither situation can be avoided entirely, but each can be improved. Then again, Canadians in general are confused and conflicted about religious freedom. Evangelicals in Canada are confused and conflicted when it comes to religious freedom. ![]() |
