![]() ![]() I relate to both Chloe and Drew in different ways. Which character(s) do you relate to the most? I’m familiar with Palo Alto, so that felt like a natural choice, but of course the fictional community in the book is inspired by many different Asian American communities around the country with which I’ve had lots of personal experience.ģ. I chose Palo Alto because I wanted a location with a large Asian American population to justify the existence of the boyfriend rental company, Rent for Your ’Rents, which caters to an Asian American clientele. How familiar are you with the Palo Alto setting? Why did you choose that city as the main setting for the story? I drew a lot from my own experiences feeling pressured to walk a certain path in life and being set up by my mother.Ģ. I understand this kind of pressure and wanted to write a book that fictionalized this practice and brought it to America. ![]() ![]() ![]() RENT A BOYFRIEND is inspired by a real practice that happens in some Asian countries where women sometimes feel so pressured to bring home an acceptable significant other that they turn to hiring a fake boyfriend from the classifieds or a company. What inspired you to write this particular book? I had the opportunity to ask Gloria Chao some questions about this book. This post is an extension of my 15 thoughts on Gloria Chao’s new book Rent A Boyfriend which has been officially released today!

With their parents dead, Vanessa and Virginia Stephen, along with their brothers Thoby and Adrian, have somewhat scandalously set up house in unfashionable Gordon Square in London's Bloomsbury district. The novel, based in fact but written with imaginative panache, spans a brief but pivotal early period: 1905-1912. In her gossipy, entertaining historical novel about the British bohemians, Priya Parma conjures a devastating fictional portrait of one of those triangles – the great writer Virginia Woolf ( A Room of One's Own, To the Lighthouse) her sister, the painter Vanessa Bell and Vanessa's husband, art critic Clive Bell. ![]() The Bloomsbury set, the joke goes, lived in squares and loved in triangles. ![]() ![]() ![]() I will comment on some of the ways in which Ehrman formulates his arguments, and discuss whether or not I find his arguments convincing. In this review, I will make some general points about Misquoting Jesus and the subject matter it covers. He is well known in textual critical circles and has written around 30 books, many related to criticism of the New Testament. I saw him discussing issues related to textual criticism of the Bible with James White, who is a ‘sola scriptura’ advocate and one of Ehrman’s integrity-of-the-Bible defending adversaries, representing the other side of the argument about whether or not we can trust the Christian Scriptures as a reliable guide in all matters related to Christian faith and doctrine.Įhrman chairs the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina (or at least he did at the time the ‘About the Author’ section in my Kindle edition of Misquoting Jesus was written). I first heard of Bart Ehrman while I was going through a phase of watching debates about Christianity on YouTube. ![]() ![]() I’m excited to write and publish this review of Misquoting Jesus, firstly because it is a fascinating book, and secondly because I believe I have some important responses to the book to bring to the table. ![]() ![]() Along with the rest of the Surrealists, Varo invoked the occult to challenge viewers’ understandings of their own psychologies, bodies, and latent powers. Such dreamlike transformations became part of Varo’s unique modernist mythology. ![]() These types of depictions, typical throughout Varo’s oeuvre, are simultaneously ghoulish, attractive, and delicately rendered. A nearby machine resembles an insect, its hand depositing paint onto a palette. Similarly, the central figure in The Creation of the Birds (1958) appears to be a genderless human-owl hybrid. The shapes of her arms and hands echo those of the armrests, while the skin of her face and neck adopts the fabric’s design. In Mimicry (1960), for example, a woman sits in a patterned chair. In Remedios Varo’s fantastical, Surrealist paintings, bodies merge with objects and animals to create alluring new hybrid figures. ![]() ![]() Retrato del doctor Ignacio Chávez (Portrait of Dr. ![]() ![]() Well, just think what a lucky boy you are to have a bike from which to fall.

The boast ‘I got 99 out of 100 for maths,’ was nearly always met with the rejoinder ‘So where did you lose the mark?’ One of these phrases, or more commonly both, would greet any achievement.

Kipling kept writing until his final years in the 1930s, though none of his later pieces achieved the same level of popularity as the works he produced at the peak of his career. In 1910 he produced a volume of poetry that contained “If-,” a short piece that has earned a spot as one of the most beloved poems of all time. After receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907, Kipling turned most of his attention to writing poetry and short stories, genres that had also dominated his early career in India. Kipling described it as an indulgent fancy, a work of beautiful imagery and compelling descriptions, but largely plotless. Kim, however, was unique among his works. By the time Kipling produced Kim in 1900-1901, he was already one of the most popular novelists of his day. Kipling’s writing career took off over the subsequent six years, and by 1889 he had saved enough money to relocate to London and pursue a literary life. ![]() He was sent back to England for schooling from age six to 16 but then returned to India, taking up a job as a journalist in Lahore, where his father worked as the curator of the cultural museum. ![]() Kipling had deep personal connections to India, having been born and raised in Mumbai (formerly called Bombay) until he was five years old. ![]() ![]() Together for the first time in a single volume, designed and edited by Seth and with an introduction by Jeet Heer, Elephant and The Projector stand as a reminder that we have yet to catch up to Vaughn-James. Jam-packed superhighways, plummeting horses, vast urban wastelands, colossal businessmen, demented cartoon animals, and interstellar oranges are just a small part of Vaughn-James’s prophetic vision of society’s turn away from the natural world to the artificial.
