Straka’s identity, life, and the secret behind Ship of Theseus. You can read Ship of Theseus all the way through, but scribbled within the margins, tucked away between pages, is another story: one of two college students trying to decode the mysteries of V.M. Simply stated, when purchasing the novel, you are purchasing two separate stories, tied together solely by the fictional author. S. is designed to look like another book, by the title of Ship of Theseus, a fictional novel, written by a fictional and mysterious author, V.M. Let’s dissect it all, shall we? What Does A Story Within A Story Look Like? ![]() This sparked the idea behind the novel, S. As Abrams said, he once found a book on a bench, with a note giving specific instructions to read and leave the book where someone else may find it, forming an ongoing chain of readership, composed of curious readers who actively leave the book somewhere public, for another curious individual to pick it up. ![]() Abrams himself, and written by Doug Dorst, is not just a mere story, it’s a literary experiment, showcased as a physical object. ![]() ![]() The talk, in the village in Belarus where she grew up, was all of war most of its inhabitants were widows. Her father was the only one of three brothers to come home. Close relations had been killed, died of typhus or been burned alive by the Germans. The simpler the women, the more their stories were “uninfected by secondary knowledge”.Īlexievich herself was born in 1948 into a family scarred by the war. For the rest, the women poured out their memories to her, not simply recounting them, but reimagining them. “How, in the midst of chaos? Begin by making me a woman,” she told him. ![]() When, in the ruins of Berlin, her future husband proposed to her, she had been outraged. One former pilot, who turned her down, told her that she could not bear to return in her mind to the three years during which she had felt herself not to be a woman. Very few of those she approached refused to talk to her. ![]() ![]() Over seven years in the late 1970s and early 80s, she interviewed many hundreds of women, the pilots, doctors, partisans, snipers and anti-aircraft gunners who served on the front line, and the legions of laundresses, cooks, telephone operators and engine drivers who backed them up. This sense of absolute directness and immediacy lies at the heart of Svetlana Alexievich’s extraordinary oral history of the Russian women who fought in the second world war, translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. ![]() ![]() She was more than an obituary writer’s dependent clause: the niece and last remaining connection. ![]() It wasn’t just the trivia of her relation. Had it lost its center? The heart of Oxford lived in Dean and Larry Wells. ![]() We leaned on the copper bar and asked each other if the town had lost more than just an important piece of itself. Dean loved a party, and tonight, we’d send her off with a writer’s wake. We drank Manhattans and martinis, whiskey and cold beers. Just a few days ago, we’d seen her in this same bar, at the table by the balcony, laughing, telling stories, seeming, most of all, unalterably alive. When the heat and the crowd in the house got too much, we gathered on the Square, overlooking the courthouse lawn. He’s been gone a long time, and now she was gone, too. We brought a bottle of Four Roses, because that’s what Dean’s uncle drank. We were young and old, writer and homemaker, churchgoer and hell-raising bastard.

I think if you're a big fan of Dave and his work you'll see this as a gift from Dave to you, a sort of private journal of his career and future. I had the opportunity to attend a short how-to session with Dave a few years ago (SDCC 09) and this feels like a true extension of that candid and enlightening presentation. This is no more evident than in the Afterword where Dave discusses his thoughts on the future. But for me what makes it stand apart from other "art of" books is that the tone of the text makes it really personal and conveys empathy (not to be confused with sympathy!) for the professional artist. Don't get me wrong, for those looking for a coffee table art book, this certainly has enough high quality pieces to qualify. Rolling thunder is the culmination of many years of work and does a great job chronicling Dave's career as a working artist, the challenges of pursuing a dream and ensuring you can bring home a paycheck (I know that sounds bad, but that is the reality of being a professional artist!). ![]() |
