You Had Me at Braineater

Braineater Jones by Stephen Kozeniewski

January 24, 2023 by Melina 2 Comments

Braineater Jones (as he calls himself), has a problem. He woke up dead in a swimming pool and he has no idea who he was before he was undead. He also doesn’t know why he’s undead and why there are a whole bunch of undead people around these days…these are just some of the many mysteries that our self-described private dick has to tackle. Taking place in the 1930’s this is a fun little play on a noir novel as Jones deals with the “dames”, […]

“Elwood received the best gift of his life on Christmas Day 1962, even if the ideas it put in his head were his undoing.”

Cbr12bingo Cannonballer Says, BINGO x2: vertical Red to Money, horizontal Cannonballer Says to Adaptation For the second year in a row, my Cannonballer Says square is filled with a book reviewed by TeresaElectro! Last year it was Rebecca Roanhorse’s excellent Trail of Lightning. This year it’s Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize winning The Nickel Boys. Four years ago I reviewed Whitehead’s The Underground Railroad, which was an amazing tour de force dealing with American history and American racism. The Nickel Boys is another clear-eyed, no-punches-held look […]

Like a Sports Movie, In Reverse

The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach

May 17, 2019 by allisonata 1 Comment

Football is the quintessential American sport. Two disciplined armies meet out on an open field. Highly trained men in uniform wallop the enemy, denying them ground. Our super soldiers bash their brains in—and sometimes break their necks—for our entertainment. And we cheer. Because who doesn’t love a proxy war? It’s tribal. Downright primal. Are you entertained?! *checks notes* Pardon. Apparently, baseball is America’s game. A sport that considers the no-hitter, a game in which absolutely nothing happens, as the pinnacle of the art. A sport […]

So much awesomeness! Tusen, tusen takk, Mathilde!

This One Summer, Jane Steele by Mariko and Jillian Tamaki, Lyndsay Faye

December 17, 2016 by Malin 2 Comments

So I came home from a long day at work yesterday to find a pick-up slip in the postbox, but as the weather is both very humid and rather cold at the moment, there is a thin film of ice coating the ground, making it pretty much lethal to walk anywhere at all. Hence, once I was actually indoors, I had no plans of leaving again, even with the enticement of books waiting for me at the post office. Today, I put my trusty crampons […]
