Stephen baxter manifold trilogy5/26/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() "Glass Earth, Inc." (1997) – A policeman must sort through the memories of a murder to find out who the killer is, and in the process, learns more about himself than he ever knew."Open Loops" (2000) – An astronaut explores, and later becomes a colonist on an asteroid, observing the expansion and evolution of humanity over the millennia."Moon-Calf" (1998) – A retired astronaut finds hints of an ancient space voyage while on holiday in England.The book contains the following short stories: ![]() The stories are mostly set in the same Multiverse as the books in his Manifold series, with a few stories related to his separate NASA Trilogy. Written in the same style as most of Stephen Baxter's work, Phase Space is a collection of more or less scientifically based stories in the tradition of Arthur C. Phase Space (subtitled Stories from the Manifold and Elsewhere) is a 2003 science fiction collection by British writer Stephen Baxter, containing twenty-three thematically linked stories, in which the human relationship with the universe is explored: whether humanity is truly alone in the universe, if there are other intelligent species, if these have turned their backs on us, or if expansion itself is destined to fail. ![]() Such Is My Beloved by Morley Callaghan5/26/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() You can't go wrong in coming here to see me." ![]() And the little, dark one with the round brown eyes and the smooth soft skin and a big bunch of black hair at the nape of her neck, jumped up from her chair with the same impressive efficiency, and in the affected manner of a great lady, extended her left hand with the elbow crooked as if he would be permitted just to touch the tips of her fingers. While he was looking around, the tall fair girl, who was wearing a loose blue dress that concealed the angularity of her body, assumed a ready smile, came over beside him and began to help him off with his coat with a dreadful efficiency. He saw the room with the faded blue flowers on the wall-paper, the thick blue curtains on the window, the wide iron bed, painted white but chipped badly at the posts, and the copper-colored carpet that had a spot worn thin near the side of the bed. Father Dowling took off his hat and looked around slowly as if it were most important that he find a proper place to put it. ![]() Autoboyography characters5/26/2023 ![]() ![]() He has only ever identified as Mormon and struggles to imagine himself as anything (or anyone) else, especially someone whose essential identity challenges the faith that he loves. ![]() Tanner’s attraction to Sebastian is as immediate as it is problematic, because Sebastian isn’t “out,” not even to himself. ![]() Autoboyography is a coming-of-age story, but it’s not Tanner’s (which is ironic since it’s written as though by his own hand) it’s Sebastian’s, the thoroughly Mormon bishop’s son who Tanner falls in love with shortly after starting the Seminar–a creative writing class just for seniors in which Sebastian is a mentor. In this way, Tanner differs from many YA protagonists, but the narrative is by no means weakened by the fact that Tanner begins the story as a self-actualized agnostic bisexual in the midst of conservative Mormondom. Tanner Scott is a high school senior who harbors zero confusion about who he is or what he wants. ![]() This book exposes the prejudices and dogma that drive people apart when their instincts and desires are to connect, all while offering a generous and earnest exploration of loyalty to self, family, and faith when all three seem unbearably at odds. Reviewed by Rebekah Cuevas for the Association for Mormon LettersĪutoboyography affirms that love is risk, but queer love remains even riskier, especially in the profoundly religious setting of Provo, Utah. ![]() Born standing up a comics life5/26/2023 ![]() ![]() When he went to a hospital in the midst of one of the panic attacks he had begun suffering, a nurse asked him to autograph a printout of his EKG. And the critical backlash had begun: he had gone from being a wild and crazy guy, in his own phrase, to “a mild and lazy guy” in the none-too-original minds of reviewers. In 1979 he was booked solid for the next two years and playing auditoriums too large for his sly, intimate stage act to be understood. ![]() ![]() In his lean, incisive new book about the trajectory of his life in comedy, Steve Martin describes some of the danger signs that made him realize his career in stand-up had peaked. ![]() 07148335685/26/2023 ![]() Worldwide in scope, it combines a clear historical outline with masterly analysis and interpretation.
