Michael wolff fire and fury6/22/2023 But he's probably best known, until now, for his 2008 profile of Rupert Murdoch, entitled: The Man Who Owns the News. His first one was White Kids, published in 1979. Wolff has written at least half-a-dozen books. Read more: Fake news 'casts wide net but has little effect' "Great cover!" Trump's press assistant Hope Hicks emailed the author afterward, as Wolff recalls in an extended article published Thursday in the Hollywood Reporter.Īfter Trump won the election that November, Wolff wrote to the White House and proposed writing an inside story, for future publication, ie, a book, using a proverbial fly-on-the-wall approach. The cover featured a stern-looking Trump wearing mirrored sunglasses, and Trump apparently liked it. Writing for the Hollywood Reporter, Wolff scored an interview with candidate Trump in June 2016. Nowadays, he is a contributor to USA Today, Vanity Fair and New York magazines, but has also written for GQ and the Hollywood Reporter among other publications. Wolff was born in New Jersey attended Columbia University in New York City and began his career working as a copy boy for the New York Times.

American wife curtis sittenfeld summary6/21/2023 And when Charlie eventually becomes President, Alice is thrust into a position she did not seek–one of power and influence, privilege and responsibility. As Alice learns to make her way amid the clannish energy and smug confidence of the Blackwell family, navigating the strange rituals of their country club and summer estate, she remains uneasy with her newfound good fortune. And then, much to her surprise, Alice fell for Charlie. Comfortable in her quiet and unassuming life, she felt inured to his charms. So more than a decade later, when she met boisterous, charismatic Charlie Blackwell, she hardly gave him a second look: She was serious and thoughtful, and he would rather crack a joke than offer a real insight he was the wealthy son of a bastion family of the Republican party, and she was a school librarian and registered Democrat. But a tragic accident when she was seventeen shattered her identity and made her understand the fragility of life and the tenuousness of luck. On what might become one of the most significant days in her husband’s presidency, Alice Blackwell considers the strange and unlikely path that has led her to the White House–and the repercussions of a life lived, as she puts it, “almost in opposition to itself.” A kind, bookish only child born in the 1940s, Alice learned the virtues of politeness early on from her stolid parents and small Wisconsin hometown.

He thinks that the colors and ways of representing landscapes are similar to what people experience when they have visions of an "other world" or heaven, and we like these because they give us a glimpse of that world. In the second part of the book, Heaven and Hell, he talks about "transporting" artwork-stained glass, jewels, and certain kinds of paintings. He also advocates allowing the use of peyote over alcohol and tobacco because he thinks it has fewer downsides (and because he thinks people will always seek some kind of drug-induced escape from their lives). He is fascinated by details like chair legs, and he sees cosmic significance in them. This part of the book was highly entertaining. He has a psychiatrist present and records everything he says, so the account of his actions and experiences is presumably reliable. In the first part of the book, The Doors of Perception, he experiments with peyote. Huxley's theory is that the mind takes in all sorts of incredible experiences but that it then filters those (through what he calls the "reducing valve") into what we're conscious of.

This resource guide was created in direct response to the multiple requests made by educators, parents and students.

Hearts at Stake by Alyxandra Harvey6/20/2023 A series of attacks on the Drake family breaks long-established peace treaties and exposes a hidden web of love, hate, and politics. Though Solange is more interested in being a normal teenager with her best friend, Lucy (the girls alternately provide the story's narration), the ruling vampire queen and a human council of vampire hunters feel otherwise. And not just any vampire, but a long-prophesized queen. But as Solange's 16th birthday nears, so does the fulfillment of her genetic destiny: biological transformation into a vampire. Solange Drake, the first girl to be born of vampire parents in 900-odd years, has led a mostly normal life. Harvey's debut, launching the Drake Chronicles, is a refreshing take on the familiar teenage vampire drama. |
