The final confrontation does not even appear in the book, we only see the effects of Nash's actions after. And, frankly, this part is not really important to the whole story. But to be honest it is pretty obvious who is behind arms smuggling to Greece. I know that he's crazy about love for her, but it all looks somewhat weird. His love for Zee is a bit immature, more reliable for a much younger man. Nash is also not as strong hero as it may seem. On the one hand, she is a strong business woman but on the other she has no hesitation in abandoning her life as soon as Nash proposes to her. It is more visible in Zee, the motives of her actions change from time to time and it is difficult to keep up. To me their personalities are inconsistent. But I struggled with this book.įirst of all, I could not find a connection with the main characters - Zee and Nash. I’ve enjoyed some of the books by Liz Carlyle, I find her characters different and the story engaging.

Ok, maybe not being a basketball superstar, but that adds to the depth of the story. Their story is fiction but it could be your own story.

Long Shot is by far one of the best books I’ve read. Lost in conversations about the ethics or propriety of this kind of “borrowing” is another, simpler question: Why is this art always so bad? The debate over “Open Casket” followed in a long line of such controversies, including a public reading by the poet Kenneth Goldsmith, in which he performed, as a poem, the autopsy report of Michael Brown, the black teenager killed by police in Ferguson, Mo., in 2014. An essay by Zadie Smith (which proved contentious in its own right) distilled the furor down to the question: “Who owns black pain?” It is “not acceptable for a white person to transmute Black suffering into profit and fun,” read an open letter by the artist Hannah Black. There were calls for the painting to be removed from the Whitney Biennial - even destroyed. In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes and debates about cultural appropriation.Ī recent, very long round was set off by “Open Casket,” a painting by Dana Schutz, which portrayed, in an abstract swirl, the body of Emmett Till, the black teenager tortured and lynched in 1955. I was about to tell you, I really entered on principle because I was like, "How can you say that the reason no black author has ever won when you've never entered?" I had no expectation that my book would win. And I was like, "Well, that's not true." But then I had never entered. And there were a lot of people saying the reason no black person has ever won this award is because they don't enter. Gwendolyn Glenn: Now the RITA is the top award?

'One of the greatest books of a very great thinker' Michael Tanner There, she tells Thomas, she will fulfill her mission: to confront the evil that has devastated the earth, and to restore to this betrayed, murderous knight the nobility and hope of salvation he long abandoned. And now she has convinced the faithless Thomas to shepherd her across a depraved landscape to Avignon. She believes the righteous dead speak to her in dreams. Is it delirium or is it faith? She believes she has seen the angels of God. An orphan of the Black Death, and an almost unnerving picture of innocence, she tells Thomas that plague is only part of a larger cataclysm-that the fallen angels under Lucifer are rising in a second war on heaven, and that the world of men has fallen behind the lines of conflict. Thomas, a disgraced knight, has found a young girl alone in a dead Norman village. And Lucifer said: "Let us rise against Him now in all our numbers, and pull the walls of heaven down." The year is 1348. Now Christopher Buehlman invites readers into an even darker age-one of temptation and corruption, of war in heaven, and of hell on earth.
