When the Brooklyn Nets dealt Kevin Durant at the deadline, they brought in more than a bounty of first-round picks (though they did snag four of those, plus a future pick swap).

That something happened when personal turmoil dropped by at the wayside shrine of the vast, violent, circling, driving, ridiculous, insane, unfeasible, public turmoil of a nation.

Lawrence![]() ![]() ![]() The notion of death has plagued him since childhood: as a boy he had killed his kid brother by firing a rifle which he thought had been unloaded. ![]() His “ego-instinct” is manifested in his mastery of the mines: Gerald, the “God of the machine,” subjugates both the miners, “the resistant Matter of the earth,” and ultimately himself to the mechanical principle of production in order to satisfy his own wilful urge to perfection and self-deification.ĢGerald’s destructive instinct is explored in depth through his relationships with his family and with Gudrun. ![]() The successful upper-class man with a brilliant administrative career is an egocentric afflicted with a repressed sensual life. The downward slide towards death is dramatically enacted in the novel by way of the love relationship between Gerald Crich, the industrial magnate and mine-owner, and the artist Gudrun. This is openly stated by Birkin, who claims that the river of life co-exists with the river of dissolution. In Women in Love dissolution is shown to be a ubiquitous process in industrial civilization. Freud’s views on aggression show affinities with Lawrence’s major theme of the doom of western industrial society in his “end-of-the-world” novel. 1A number of interesting parallels concerning the role of aggressiveness in love can be drawn between the implications of Freud’s “Civilization and its Discontents” and those of Lawrence in his novel of ideas Women in Love. ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments Dead as a doornail sookie![]() ![]() Vivid, subtle, and funny in her portrayal of southern life.- Entertainment Weekly ![]() It's the kind of book you look forward to reading before you go to bed, thinking you're only going to read one chapter, and then you end up reading seven.-Alan Ball, executive producer of True Blood Praise for #1 New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris's Sookie Stackhouse novels Milwaukee Journal Sentinel eloquence quotes" ![]() mash-up of genres is delightful, taking elements from mysteries, horror stories, and romances.
