Sit back in terror as traumatizing tales of unparalleled terror unfold. ![]() Be prepared, or you may become their next victim. They are unexplainable, inescapable, and undefeatable. Overview: In the light of day and in the dead of night, mysterious horrors await in the darkest shadows of every corner. ![]() Gates the signifying monkey5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() Rudy Ray Moore, known as "Dolemite", is well-known for having used the term in his comedic performances. To this list we could easily add aporia, chiasmus, and catachresis, all of which are used in the ritual of Signifyin(g)." Origin and features wrote in The Signifying Monkey (1988) that signifyin' is "a trope, in which are subsumed several other rhetorical tropes, including metaphor, metonymy, synecdoche, and irony (the master tropes), and also hyperbole, litotes, and metalepsis. The American literary critic Henry Louis Gates Jr. ![]() The expression comes from stories about the signifying monkey, a trickster figure said to have originated during slavery in the United States. Signifyin' directs attention to the connotative, context-bound significance of words, which is accessible only to those who share the cultural values of a given speech community. Other names for signifyin' include: "Dropping lugs, joaning, sounding, capping, snapping, dissing, busting, bagging, janking, ranking, toasting, woofing, roasting, putting on, or cracking." A simple example would be insulting someone to show them affection. It is a practice in African-American culture involving a verbal strategy of indirection that exploits the gap between the denotative and figurative meanings of words. ![]() ![]() Signifyin' (sometimes written " signifyin(g)") (vernacular), is a wordplay. Wordplay in Black American communities emphasizes connotation over literal meaning ![]() Steinbeck row5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() “Cannery Row in Monterey in California is a poem, a stink, a grating noise, a quality of light, a tone, a habit, a nostalgia, a dream.” This book was that for me, and I loved the way it reflected life. There’s a sense of waiting in the air, an excitement bordering on anxiety. Those weeks of squeezing all your summer bucket list items in at the last minute, the feeling of sunshine and warmth and long daylight gradually slipping through your fingers. That month of transition when you’re itching for fall but reminding yourself to savor the summer. ![]() I read this book in August, a month that has always felt like the “hour of the pearl” for me, too. It’s a sort of liminal space where thoughts, hopes, and dreams can run wild and judgment dissipates, if only for a brief while. ![]() I’m obsessed with the atmosphere Steinbeck created in Cannery Row. “It is the hour of the pearl–the interval between day and night when time stops and examines itself.” ![]() ![]() ![]() He admits to himself that he loves Daisy, even more so than Camila at some point, but he needs his family and her. This isn’t to say book Billy is a perfect husband. TV Billy becomes neglectful of Camila and his family. He raises his three daughters (in the book Camila has twin girls soon after Julia) lovingly and manages to be there for them and tour. The TV version of Camila doesn’t have the same confidence in him.īilly also steps up as a father in the book. This keeps Billy from cheating or relapsing. However, in the book, Camila chooses to trust and have faith in Billy. ![]() (Image credit: Amazon Studios) Camila And Billy Have A More Stable Marriage In Daisy Jones And The Six BookĮverything with Billy cheating and drug use during The Six’s first tour matches what happens in the novel. ![]() This one summer jillian tamaki5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() Paste: Congratulations on your Printz and Caldecott recognition, which, up until today, felt mutually exclusive! Were you surprised to find you’d been honored in both categories, including one that’s traditionally for picture books? ![]() ![]() Paste spoke with the cousins over the phone to discuss award recognition, collaboration, and writing for audiences of all ages…or not. With a mélange of marital tension, local teen drama and complicated friendship, Jillian and Mariko Tamaki have created a quietly heartbreaking - and hopeful - microcosm of life on the cusp of growing up. Rendered in a lush, monochromatic blue, This One Summer takes place at a summer lake house as two young girls find themselves on opposite sides of the widening gap between adolescence and young adulthood. It’s not every day that a graphic novel is recognized for a prestigious literary honor, but writer Mariko Tamaki and artist Jillian Tamaki’s evocative masterpiece, This One Summer, just accomplished the unprecedented feat of taking home both a Printz Honor (for outstanding young adult literature) and a Caldecott Honor (for exceptional picture book art), awarded by the American Library Association at the Youth Media Awards in Chicago yesterday. ![]() The Bruise by Magdalena Zurawski5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() Currently, she lives in Durham, NC, where she is studying 19th-century American literature at Duke.

My relations didn’t know the value of anything. The Jewish women would turn up at parties or at thé dansants when we were all broke, wearing the silver fox furs - three at a time for ostentation - and diamonds which they had bought from our relations for a song - or what, when they saw them again, had become a song. ![]() It was resented when Jews bought these things. And if you had to sell a valuable writing desk for money which was worth only half as much a week later, of course there was ill-feeling. That made them think - it made them think when the price of a set of old silver spoons went up from 20,000 to 40,000 crowns in a matter of a week or two. They started selling their valuables because they couldn’t buy food - the china from the mantelpiece, the furniture, the silver. ![]() ![]() All my relations thought it would stop the next week - and they went on thinking so. They didn’t rush to get rid of their money (that was what the Jews and the Germans did). They didn’t understand what inflation meant. “My relations and friends were too stupid. ![]() Graphic Icons by John Clifford5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() He and his family then moved to Basel, Switzerland. "In addition to being more logical, asymmetry has the advantage that its complete appearance is far more optically effective than symmetry."Īs the Nazi party felt Modernism was "un-German," they arrested Tschichold in 1933 and imprisoned him for four weeks. He believed design should be clear and efficient-and that the tools of clarity were sans serif type, asymmetric compositions, photography, and white space. ![]() The strict standards in this book aimed to free designers from traditional restrictions and move them beyond centered type and ornaments. In 1928, Tschichold published a manual that continues to influence people today: Die neue Typografie ( The New Typography), which is still in print. His photomontage posters for Munich movie theater Phoebus Palast show the influence of László Moholy-Nagy and El Lissitzky. A Bauhaus exhibition in 1923 introduced him to Constructivism, and he soon began incorporating modern elements into his designs. After growing up in the heart of Germany’s book industry, Tschichold had a formal education in classical typography and calligraphy. ![]() Just as his design predecessors influenced Jan Tschichold, so he shaped graphic design long after his own death.
