If you spend any time reading online comments you know that this is not the case. We can’t condone obesity because of the serious and undeniable health affects that it brings into a person’s life, but it seems we ought to be able to discuss the issues without personally condemning those that are struggling with serious weight issues. Butter is a unique look at bullying, particularly online bullying, because mocking the obese seems to be one of the last acceptable forms of bullying that we condone in society. There is a morbid curiosity that permeates our society and, like the arena games in The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, we get an inside look at how much we are willing to derive our entertainment off of the suffering of others. When Butter makes his announcement, strangers come out of the woodwork and decide that they are going to be his “friend”. He attended college during the chaos of World War II, though Endō had to interrupt his studies when he was conscripted to work in a munitions factory. Endō returned to Japan before the worst atrocities of the Sino-Japanese War, but that may have been cold comfort to the 10-year-old boy whose move was prompted by his parents’ divorce.Īt 11 he and his mother converted to Catholicism and joined what was, in Japan, a miniscule religious minority. Born in Tokyo in 1923, he spent his early childhood in Japanese-occupied Manchuria, where his father worked for the Japanese government. Throughout his life and in his writings he grappled with what to do when the expectations of faith do not match its lived reality.Ĭomparative Literature seminars from now until the Apocalypse will debate just how much authorial autobiography to wring from works of fiction, but being uncomfortable and out of place was a phenomenon that seemed to permeate Endō’s life. But Endō’s discomfort is more profound than something that looks great on the hanger that never fits exactly right. It’s such a relatable sensation that just to read it makes me squirm in my chair a bit, realizing that my collar is uneven and the pants that bunched around my legs when I sat down need to be straightened out. One of the most vivid descriptions author Shūsaku Endō uses to describe his faith was to call his Catholicism an ill-fitting suit.

Though the book is at times awkwardly paced, fans of introspective mysteries such as Malinda Lo’s A Line in the Dark will be invested in the book’s resolution. Tamaki does not shy away from depicting the effects of small-town homophobia through Todd’s isolation and McVeeter’s swift arrest, but glimmers of queer joy provide a balance. Narration alternates between the hazy third-person perspective of Todd’s ghost as he watches the investigation unfold, and Georgia’s chatty first-person telling. Meanwhile, classmate Georgia, who’s “half Asian” and feels inexplicably connected to Todd because they are both queer, tries to make connections between the killing and something she saw. Mariko Tamaki is a writer known for her graphic novel This One Summer, a Caldecott Honor and Printz Honor winner, cocreated with her cousin Jillian Tamaki, among other notable works. McVeeter, gay and implied white, runs the social studies tutoring program in which Todd participated. Struggling to piece together what happened, especially after uncovering Todd’s isolation and a homophobic bullying incident that targeted him, the detectives focus their investigation on the only teacher at Albright Academy who seems to show concern about Todd’s plight. In the early pages of Tamaki’s ( Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me) atmospheric murder mystery, the body of 17-year-old white high schooler Todd Mayer-a gay, frequently bullied student-is found naked and frozen in a park. Luckily for Inspector Bigswell, the Reverend Dodd is on hand, and ready to put his keen understanding of the criminal mind to the test. The local police inspector is baffled by the complete absence of clues. The vicar's peace is shattered one stormy night when Julius Tregarthan, a secretive and ill-tempered magistrate, is found at his house in Boscawen with a bullet through his head. The Reverend Dodd, vicar of the quiet Cornish village of Boscawen, spends his evenings reading detective stories by the fireside - but heaven forbid that the shadow of any real crime should ever fall across his seaside parish. 'Never, even in his most optimistic moments, had he visualised a scene of this nature - himself in one armchair, a police officer in another, and between them a mystery.' Print The Cornish Coast Murder - A British Library Crime ClassicĪuthor(s): John Bude Martin Russ Edwards (Introduction by) To the extent that our ambitions are thwarted because of where we were born, that locale will attract a great deal of national identity as a result. I’m not sure exactly who this book is for, but I certainly found it to be an interesting discussion of the way that nationhood involves an imagined community that we feel ourselves connected to, and that is a community in which the way that others treat us is important in forming those identities. The author then, after the fact, returned to this work and made some additions and notes while being gracious about the suggestion that his work was too liberal for the Marxists and too Marxist for the liberals. This book was, in a way, prophetic, as the author commented on the way that nationalism served as a threat for Marxist regimes and ended up unintentionally predicting the fall of Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union. Imagined Communities, by Benedict Anderson If you read the synopsis for the novel, I wouldn't blame you if you immediately assume that this is all about a love triangle. Unless you think my reviews suck, so maybe you're thrilled that this review is short, but why read when you don't like my reviews? Any way, I digress. I'm not going to give any more details as far as the characters and the story itself are concerned, so yes, unfortunately, I'm going to be keeping this review shorter than usual. And then five years later, they all fall once again. Greer's story begins when she was only seven, her shared story with Ash when she's sixteen and he's twenty-six, and then with Embry when she's twenty-one. Oh, and did I mention that these three are the next First Lady, the current President, and the current Vice President, respectively? No? Well, that's who they are, but that's all secondary to how messed up their story is in the best way possible. I went into this with a whole different scenario in my head, and damn it, Greer Galloway, Ash Colchester, and Embry Moore took my heart and abused it.and left me wanting more. She sucked me in from the prologue and kept me on tenterhooks with that cliffhanger ending, which was a particularly evil cliffhanger because now I'm going to have wait over five months for the release of the second book in this trilogy to learn what happens next! Gah! Do you feel my frustration, people? Well, I'm hoping you also feel just how gobsmacked American Queen has left me. What the hell did I just read? This was my first Sierra Simone read and what a fucking introduction I got. The review of these two books will be longer than usual because the topic is so contested today and, while I disagree with the authors’ theses, a too-brief review can’t avoid appearing cursory and dismissive. The two most read volumes taking this position seem to be those by Matthew Vines and Ken Wilson. Over the last year or so I (and other pastors at Redeemer) have been regularly asked for responses to their arguments. There are a number of other books that take the opposite view, namely that the Bible either allows for or supports same sex relationships. and therefore that homosexual practice goes against God’s express will for all human beings, especially those who trust in Christ.” In the fall of last year I wrote a review of books by Wesley Hill and Sam Allberry that take the historic Christian view, in Hill’s words: “that homosexuality was not God’s original creative intention for humanity. The relationship of homosexuality to Christianity is one of the main topics of discussion in our culture today. Wilson, Ken, A Letter to My Congregation, David Crum Media, 2014.
