![]() ![]() Readers will be consumed by the weight of McBride’s intentionality from road trip stops to the nuance of everything that goes unsaid. Though the traditions are distinct on their own, McBride artfully weaves Black Southern hoodoo traditions with those of the Navajo/Diné people, creating a beautiful and cross-cultural reverence for the earth, its inhabitants, and our ancestors. But when they reach Sani’s motherland, the tribal lands of the Navajo Nation, a shocking yet obvious revelation rears its head. Together, the two steal away on a summer road trip, sharing the dreams they keep hidden and the spiritual practices they have in common. Though no one else seems to pay Moth any attention, Sani sees her for what she is-beautiful, broken, and yet still so worthy of life’s offerings. But then she meets Sani, a half Navajo, half white boy with hair like a waterfall, struggling with a broken family, suppressed desires, and his mental health. Moth lost her entire family in a car crash last summer, leaving her feeling invisible and unwanted in her aunt’s home. ![]() ![]() He talks not in the revivalist style his crusade might suggest, but with the grim urgency of an Air Force commander in a World War II movie briefing his men for a bombing run that may cost them their lives. ![]() When he finally gets up to blast Big Business he will not even glance at his notes. When he reaches the speaker's seat at the podium he accordions his long frame into a chair and immediately begins poring over a stack of papers and notes, jotting reminders to himself before he launches into a chicken crepe lunch. He is smiling faintly as he talks with the people who trail him like pilot fish. 4 in., who walks self-consciously into the crowded room with his head down a little as though he were ducking under a low doorway. ![]() ![]() Reporters don't clap much - even for the gent who is a one-man consumer crusade, who has generated more copy for them in the last 15 years than almost anyone in Washington, except a president.

By the end, exposing someone’s address was an act of emotional violence, and nobody picked up their new cell phone if they didn’t know who it was. In the beginning, almost every name and address was listed in a phone book, and everyone answered their landlines because you didn’t know who it was. In between, one presidential election was allegedly decided by Ross Perot while another was plausibly decided by Ralph Nader. It was long ago, but not as long as it seems: The Berlin Wall fell and the Twin Towers collapsed. ![]() The Nineties: a wise and funny reckoning with the decade that gave us slacker grunge irony about the sin of trying too hard, during the greatest shift in human consciousness of any decade in American history.

Sam is an early victim, but his father manages to remove the creature it’s soon discovered that the invasion is not of many creatures, but one singular organism with super-fast reproductive abilities and the ability to swamp humankind within days if not stopped fast. They find the area overrun with nasty parasitical symbiotes that swiftly attach themselves to the spinal cords of their human victims, taking over the local cops, military and spreading across the community like a virus. Together with his son Sam (Erik Thal), Nivens travels to Iowa to investigate reports of a flying saucer, bringing along NASA expert Mary Sefton (Julie Warner) for additional insight. In an souped-up X Files-type scenario, a freshly laundered Donald Sutherland plays Andre Nivens, the head of a secret CIA body entrusted to stand between us and potential alien invasions. Dispensing with the futuristic dystopian setting of the book, it’s a rather muddled film, but does have enough striking moments to make it worth exhuming for genre fans. The satirical thrust of 1997’s Starship Troopers is always a pleasure, but a few years earlier, there was a decent attempt to film his 1951 novel The Puppet Masters. ![]() ![]() The wholesome Disney + might seem like an odd place to do it, but I’ve been catching up on the cinematic adaptations of the work of Robert A Heinlein. ![]() ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() Even if you can shoot through one of his novels in a single long day in an arm chair, his current book total stands at fifty-one. It’s easy to get hooked on Bernard Cornwell, and it’s even easier to get your fix. He writes smart, adventurous historical fiction in both stand-alone novels and long-running series, and he does so at a staggering rate: He has put out at least a book a year every year from 1981 up to the present more often than not he’s written a couple, and in 1995, 20 he published three books inside of twelve months! Can you imagine if every author had this kind of work ethic? I can’t speak with great authority about Danielle Steel, but I suspect Cornwell has to be within an order of magnitude of her prodigious output, and that’s really saying something. He’s prolific, he’s got his history to fiction ratio perfectly adjusted, and he’s having the time of his life doing exactly what he wants to do. ![]() As I’ve mentioned in a previous blog entry, that man inspires me. ![]() I could not in good conscious put this list together without mentioning Bernard Cornwell close to the top. In the meantime, I thought I’d continue with the second entry in a new 11-part series I described in my last post. My e-book has moved from ‘In Review’ to ‘Publishing,’ so I expect my next post will be the announcement that it is available for purchase. ![]() ![]() ![]() The situation was not easy for Felicity either. Both mother and newborn son were in intensive care for a few days, and when they returned home, Mariah was weak from the loss of blood she had suffered, and she had mastitis, and the baby suffered from colick, so he kept her awake most of the night. Mariah went into labour five weeks before she was due, and Dee had to take her to hospital with Felicity because Nick was away in Paris. The addition of the son has been an element of stress for everybody. ![]() ![]() Nick opens the door for her, holding his baby son.

She and Linklater become closer and closer, and she even goes to visit him in his lodgings. ![]() So Dee overhears Mariah say that their move to California may be sooner than they had planned. Mariah doesn’t fit in and she is the butt of criticism. Nick and Mariah are gradually feeling unhappy in their new life. The situation starts building up and comes to a head when Dee fears she is going to be fired soon and Felicity will be helpless and without the love she deserves. The ending didn’t come as a surprise because very soon I started suspecting that Dee was behind the kidnapping. ![]() ![]() ![]() Donna (Elizabeth Saunders) gets their attention by cocking her shotgun.
