Author & musician Eric Litwin collaborated on four of these books, which now number more than a dozen. His paintings lead to a book about his artwork and then a series of picture books that was started by Pete the Cat and His Magic Sunglasses in 2008. He painted a picture of the kitten, but made him blue instead of black, and found himself painting Pete in all sorts of situations. The Pete the Cat phenomenon started when artist James Dean adopted a black kitten named Pete. This book kicks off our week of Christmas getting itself into danger and having to be saved, by all sorts of characters, starting with Pete the Cat. Throughout the journey, he repeats his little song about giving it his all and when he completes the job and returns to the North Pole, Santa and all the elves celebrate his success. All the gifts are loaded into his minibus and the reindeer tow him across the world. Pete promises to give it his all (which he does in a little song about giving your all at Christmas), even though he’s just a little cat. Santa Cat is sick in bed and calls Pete to save the day by delivering all of the gifts for him. If all the names are written that big, imagine how long that whole list is! He followed that by getting his doctorate at PrincetonĪs his work gains more maturity, he delivers his first technical talk.Being a math genius, he went to MIT as an undergraduate.At school, he used to love to invent theorems and new mathematical symbols that only he understood.He started reading Calculus books while everyone else was far behind.Richard's school life was far from ordinary: It was that inbuilt need to know more about the world that propelled Richard Feynman to a life dedicated to science.

One of the first stories we learn is about the time he invented a burglar alarm to keep people away from his room, which ended up causing mayhem when his parents were going to check up on him at night.

Milk Fed is a tender and riotously funny meditation on love, certitude, and the question of what we are all being fed, from one of our major writers on the psyche-both sacred and profane. Pairing superlative emotional insight with unabashed vivid fantasy, Broder tells a tale of appetites: physical hunger, sexual desire, spiritual longing, and the ways that we as humans can compartmentalize these so often interdependent instincts. Rachel is suddenly and powerfully entranced by Miriam-by her sundaes and her body, her faith and her family-and as the two grow closer, Rachel embarks on a journey marked by mirrors, mysticism, mothers, milk, and honey. Rachel is content to carry on subsisting-until her therapist encourages her to take a ninety-day communication detox from her mother, who raised her in the tradition of calorie counting.Įarly in the detox, Rachel meets Miriam, a zaftig young Orthodox Jewish woman who works at her favorite frozen yogurt shop and is intent upon feeding her.

In another story, jazz fan Kino blunders in on his wife having sex with his best friend and, apparently more embarrassed than wounded, decides to begin life again as a bar owner in another part of town. Throughout their life together, his wife had affairs, but he loved her, and though it was painful – “his heart was torn and his insides were bleeding” – he never dared ask her what deficiency she was tryng to make up for in their relationship now it’s too late. Kafuko, a middle-aged character actor, used to be married. Ninety years later, Haruki Murakami’s men without women have come to the same conclusion, polishing it into a postmodern lifestyle. Men should never put themselves in the position where they can lose someone, a bereaved Italian soldier warns Hemingway’s long-running protagonist Nick Adams: instead, a man “should find things he cannot lose”. A quiet panic afflicts the male characters in Hemingway’s 1927 collection Men Without Women, that touchstone in the development of both Hemingwayism and the short story.

In the musical, missionary Elder Price sings a stirring song, “I Believe,” to reaffirm his faith after it is shaken during his experience trying to convert a Ugandan warlord. And it’s just opened in Denver and another touring company hits Chicago this winter. That means exactly 8,752 theatergoers see the Broadway show every week. The toughest ticket to get on Broadway is for the Tony Award-winning Best Musical, “The Book of Mormon.” It may not be too much of a stretch to state that the totally tuneful and deeply profane religious satire is informing more people about Mormonism than anything else in popular culture today.Ĭreated by “South Park’s” Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and “Avenue Q” composer/lyricist Robert Lopez, the story of American Mormon missionaries sent to northern Uganda sells out every performance. |
