Sürveyans dersi için bu kitabı okuyun. Dikkat etmediğimiz sürece izleme mekanizmaları ve genel farkındalığımızın dışında kalan "kontrol" taktiklerini ortaya çıkardığından kesinlikle büyüleyici.
Bu kitabı her sayfam gözlerimden geçerken korkunç bir hisle tuttum. Romanın ana erkek karakteri olan bu düşmüş ama değersiz adam için acı çekiyordum.
This book traces the life journeys of three African Americans who followed three paths out of the Jim Crow South (Mississippi to Chicago; Florida to New York City; Louisiana to Los Angeles) between the 1930s and the 1950s. It's a fascinating part of American history that has been sadly overlooked, and it will make you rethink much of what you "know" about the so-called culture of poverty, and about the decline of northern cities in the middle of the twentieth century.
I loved this book. Its a dark, intense, rich read. Dostoyevsky crafts such complex, interesting characters and delves deep into their thoughts. Raskolnikov is a prideful, cynical man who commits a coldhearted murder, but he is also innately generous and idealistic--although an unlikely hero, you find yourself rooting for him.
One of the most memorable graphic novels that I have ever read.
The peak of series so far. Funny, warm, sprinkled liberally inside nods to the resident of ABQ. But the zany crew of the chef's brigade are not just cardboard but feel more real than some previous disposable characters. The author is coming into his voice. And a fine one it is becoming.
I was expecting this to be a cute British chick-lit story. Instead there were times that I was grossed out and felt that there was over-sharing involved. I just couldn't really get into the story. I didn't care much about the characters or what was happening. At first, I got confused about which was with which character but at the end you could see the connection of all of them. I have a couple of other books by this author on my bookshelves. Hopefully I'll like them better.
Her other collection of short stories is much better.
