![]() ![]() ![]() Even so, this is an important and difficult theme, one that is rarely addressed for teens in particular, so for that alone I laud the effort.Īs evident from the cover, Wild Embers features a number of motifs, particularly outer space, which contribute to a sense of musical language that permeates the book. Groupings of poems discuss fairy tale princesses and Greek goddesses in this context (which was somewhat uncomfortable, since it was apparent that Gill used mostly popular understanding of these figures, not the original fairy tales or myths). Gill speaks of friendships and relationships fallen apart, of learning to love oneself and forgive oneself and others for actions carried out as a result of pain. Rebellion, fire, and beauty are all motifs contained within Gill’s extensive collection, but most of the freeverse and prose poems contained within focus on a more nebulous theme - abuse and recovery. The descriptions on Amazon and so on do not clarify well enough the theme of this collection of poetry. Wild Embers by Nikita Gill was the hardest book of my assignment so far to get my hands on (I had to make a purchase request from my library). ![]() ![]() ![]() Potterley, an expert on ancient Carthage, wishes to gain access to the chronoscope, a device which allows direct observation of past events, to establish whether the Carthaginians really sacrificed children by fire. Working innocently under these constraints is Arnold Potterley, a professor of ancient history. Its pattern is that of dystopian fiction, but of a subtly nuanced flavor.Īsimov extrapolates the twin trends towards centralization of academic research and scientific specialization, to portray a world in which state control of scientific research is overseen by a vast bureaucracy, and scholars are effectively forbidden from working outside their narrow field of specialization. ![]() It was later collected in Earth Is Room Enough (1957) and The Best of Isaac Asimov (1973), and adapted into an episode of the science-fiction television series Out of the Unknown. " The Dead Past" is a science fiction short story by American writer Isaac Asimov, first published in the April 1956 issue of Astounding Science Fiction. Short story by Isaac Asimov The Dead Past ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s my least favorite because sometimes I just want a story to be right the first time around, sometimes because I don’t like it that much or because I have other books I want to work on, but when I figure out a way to fix the problems in the story and make it better, it all feels worth it. I enjoy editing, too, which is weird because editing is also my least favorite part. Question Four: Do you believe writers are born, taught or both? Which was true for you? I did a lot of work over many years, but I also got very lucky, and I’m thankful every day for the happy circumstances that got me here. I got an agent, and six months later we’d sold my first book to HarperCollins. ![]() I did some research, started looking for literary agents, and the summer after my freshman year of college, it all paid off. I started writing when I was eight years old, but when I was fifteen I realized that publishers don’t just pick books off trees somewhere writers have to send them in. Question Five: What was the path that led you to publication? As for reading, I try to get in an hour of reading every day while I exercise, but if I really can’t put the book down, I’ll spend 4-6 hours finishing it in one day. It really depends on the story I’m working on and what my schedule looks like. I spend at least half an hour each day writing, but if I don’t have to work that day, I’ve been known to write from the minute I get up until I can’t hold my eyes open anymore. ![]() Question Six: How much time do you spend each week writing?

Art Mumby lives with his father and his older sister, Myrtle, in Larklight -a sprawling, old house floating in space. In an alternate universe, the Victorians have achieved space travel, and rule over the territories of Mars, the Moon, and a handful of Jupiter's satellites. Later, while I was facing the Potter Moth, or fleeing for my life from the First Ones, or helping man a cannon aboard Jack Havock's brig Sophroma, I would often think back to the way my life used to be, and to that last afternoon at Larklight, before all our misfortunes began.

This destabilizes existing marriages and deters or prevents family formation, because females at any age do not want to marry a man who makes less than them. (And this was before Covid! The suppression and outright destruction of the middle and lower classes has gotten far worse in the intervening years.) This theme forms the backbone of the interview.īut along the way, the pair touch on many interesting topics, including the fact that women now routinely earn more than their husbands, which women hate. The theme of “Ship of Fools,” a book that I read and can recommend, is that the ruling elites are effectively in a revolution against the middle class and working class, and that if this does not change, it will destabilize the country. Tucker was signing copies of his book “Ship of Fools,” while Mark Steyn, who was a regular guest for several years, and also a frequent substitute host for Tucker, asks him questions about his life. ![]() Below is a fun interview from about four or five years ago. ![]() |
