At night all blood is black book5/22/2023 Alfa Ndiaye, a young Senegalese soldier who along with his childhood friend, Mademba Diop, has volunteered to fight for the French, finds himself trapped in the nightmare that was trench life during World War One. Here story and storyteller are one and the same. Homer’s Iliad, Tolstoy’s War and Peace, Pat Barker’s miraculous, mammoth Regeneration Trilogy, and now, David Diop’s remarkable (and yes, fair warning, very disturbing) novel At Night All Blood is Black (translated from the French by Anna Moschovakis, FSG). But he could have also been talking about the countless books that war has sired, those literary masterpieces of blood and iron and colossal suffering over which war-that great annihilator of psyche and civilization alike-has long held sway. In Heraclitus’ telling, it is we poor mortals who are war’s unhappy children, and its subjects. War, the Greek philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesus once said, is the father of all and the king of all.

With the help of another physics student, Theo, Marguerite chases Paul through various dimensions. She doesn't know if she can kill a man, but she's going to find out. Before the law can touch him, Paul escapes into another dimension, having committed what seems like the perfect crime. When Marguerite's father is murdered, all the evidence points to one person - Paul, her parents' enigmatic star student. Yet nothing is more astounding than her mother's latest invention - a device called the Firebird, which allows people to leap into alternate dimensions. Marguerite Caine grew up surrounded by cutting-edge scientific theories, thanks to her brilliant physicist parents. A Truck Full of Money by Tracy Kidder5/21/2023 Yet this restraint reflects Kidder's understanding of English as a no-nonsense blue-collar kid from South Boston who stays in constant motion while working toward tangible goals both big and small. Michael's gifted elocution makes for an aesthetically pleasing listening experience, but his matter-of-fact style of delivery for the emotional portions of the book that deal with English's longtime struggle with mental illness may surprise some listeners. Kidder's book chronicles the adventures of tech-industry giant Paul English, best known as cofounder of the travel search engine Kayak, which was acquired in 2012 by Priceline for $2 billion. Actor Michael brings a considerable range of talents to the latest offering from Pulitzer Prize%E2%80%93 and National Book Award%E2%80%93winner Kidder. |
