This means he either murdered the other two men or faked his own death, or both.Īndy Carpenter is a semi-retired, self-described obnoxious defense attorney who frequently infuriates dangerous people and actually likes what he does, plus, he is good at it.

It requires one full deck of 52 cards, and the way one wins is by completing a full run of each suit: ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, jack, queen, king in spades, clubs, hearts, and diamonds. Scorpion Solitaire: An IntroductionĪs stated, Scorpion Solitaire is a single-player game, and it is a variation on Spider Solitaire. The rules are simple enough, but you’ll see why it is actually more difficult as we continue. Most people have played Solitaire (some have even played Spider Solitaire), but this is the most extreme version, made to challenge the player. ![]() ![]() It is simpler because the player uses only one standard deck of 52 cards (there is a version of spider solitaire with two full decks of cards).īut, it is also limiting because each card can only make one move onto the card in both its suit, but also the next in its sequence (i.e., the 10 of clubs can only be placed on the jack of clubs). Scorpion Solitaire, like all solitaire games, is a single player card game, and it is a variant on Spider Solitaire, in which the goal is to make stacks of the same suit of cards. ![]() ![]() ![]() Big, Screwed-Up Family: The Radlett family could be seen as a high-functioning example.The fact that he is based on the author's father is worrying.

Doctors, uncomfortable discussing patients’ anxieties about death, fall back on false hopes and treatments that are actually shortening lives instead of improving them. Nursing homes, devoted above all to safety, battle with residents over the food they are allowed to eat and the choices they are allowed to make. Through eye-opening research and gripping stories of his own patients and family, Gawande reveals the suffering this dynamic has produced.

There’s absolutely no proof that that man loves America. We can talk about the difference between black and white or Democrats and Republicans but if we don’t learn to love the people we purport to love, we have no chance.

My grandmother, mother and aunt were pretty good at loving. ![]() A present father wouldn’t have helped me at all, if he was modelling harmful behaviour daily. We hear about absent fathers but not present mothers. You were raised by women – your mother and grandma – how was that? Laymon teaches creative writing at the University of Mississippi. The New York Times described it as “a gorgeous, gutting book that’s fuelled by candour yet freighted with ambivalence”. It’s a story about the weight of lies, secrecy and expectation and was shortlisted for the Kirkus prize and the Andrew Carnegie medal for excellence. In the book he comes clean about all they have kept from each other: the gambling addiction they both have but never acknowledge his eating disorders and the sexual violence he experienced as a child. ![]() Kiese Laymon’s memoir, Heavy, is about his childhood in Mississippi and is written in the form of a letter to his single mother, an academic, who loved him but also beat him ruthlessly for fear of what white America would do to him if he wasn’t perfect. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Yanagihara’s private life is as constrained as her cultural knowledge is broad. Fashion and design spreads are now steeped in art history, and the magazine publishes essays that are surprising, and sometimes esoteric: an analysis of avant-garde flower arrangers a rigorous survey of artists, from Japan to South Africa, who are “reimagining the animal figurine.” ![]() She took over T four years ago, and, thanks to her magpie intelligence, it has become a vibrant cabinet of curiosities. She has spent a lot of time travelling and has an unusually international aesthetic: she is as comfortable speaking about ceramicists in Sendai as about conceptual artists in New York. Through her editorial work, Yanagihara, who is forty-seven, has become conversant with hundreds of creative people and their work. ![]() She is the editor-in-chief of T, the style supplement to the Times, which publishes articles and photo-essays about fashion, travel, art, and design. Hanya Yanagihara wears her black hair pulled back with a razor-sharp center part, and she prefers to dress in black, especially in clothes by Dries Van Noten, the cerebral Belgian designer. ![]() ![]() Say "hi" at our sister subreddits- SpecArt and SF Videos-and join our reader-managed Goodreads group.

Jean-François Lyotard quoted in Victor Burgin. ![]() In the libidinal economy, writes Lyotard: “All of these zones are butted end to end … on a Moebius strip … a moebian skin interminable band of variable geometry (a concavity is necessarily a convexity at the next turn) a single face, and therefore neither exterior nor interior.” “Lyotard writes,”We must not begin with transgression, we must immediately go to the very end of cruelty, construct the anatomy of polymorphous perversion, unfold the immense membrane of the libidinal ‘body,’ which is quite the inverse of a system of parts.” Lyotard sees this “membrane” as composed of the most heterogeneous items: human bone and writing paper, steel and glass, syntax and the skin on the inside of the thigh.
