![]() ![]() That’s in part because literary critics have decked Lucifer’s creator himself in red, white, and blue bunting since the 19th century. ![]() ![]() Curiously, the deeply modern Lucifer could also be considered one of the greatest characters in American literature, even though he was created more than a century before the United States was founded. Feared by Puritans, fêted by Romantics, and reinvented by everybody else, Milton’s fallen archangel has worn many different masks over the centuries, from Moby-Dick’s Captain Ahab to television’s Tony Soprano and Walter White. Three hundred and fifty years ago, the poet John Milton wrote one of the greatest characters in all of British literature: Lucifer, the antagonist of the epic poem Paradise Lost. ![]()

They stand on opposite sides in a brutal war of attrition between the occupying army and the defeated tribes, each determined to see the other dead. Dreaming the Bull, the second book in this compelling series, continues the intertwined stories of Boudica, and Bán, now an officer in the Roman cavalry. Believing her dead, Breaca's beloved brother, Bán, joined the Roman cause. Book one, Dreaming the Eagle, took readers from Boudica's girlhood with the Eceni tribe to the climax of the two-day battle when she and her lover, Caradoc, faced the invading Romans. ![]() She was the last defender of the Celtic culture the only woman openly to lead her warriors into battle and to stand successfully against the might of Imperial Rome - and triumph.

The second part of the stunning fictionalization of the life of Britain's warrior queen, Boudica, immerses us in a world of druids and dreamers, warriors and lovers, passion and courage. ![]() ![]() ![]() Today, many of the proponents and opponents of what you might describe as “intersectional” politics (particularly those who do not themselves come out of the long Black radical tradition, and whose political education and/or work has a basis primarily in the academy rather than in movements) often treat identity and struggle very differently than the revolutionary Black feminists of Combahee. The goal seems to be to clarify some current debates by creating a resource to allow a more robust understanding of the Combahee River Collective, whose famous statement from the 1970s is both a crucial document in the Black feminist tradition and also foundational to an increasingly common range of politics that are taken up by a much wider range of people and that draw strongly on Black feminism even while often drastically misreading and even erasing that heritage. ![]() A really great little book combining movement history and radical analysis. ![]() ![]() The colors and composition made even the most outlandishly dressed gallery attendees fade into the background like wall flowers.

Sitting at the posh bar amongst a friendly Aussie and a very charming James McAvoy, lulled me into a false sense of Hollywoodland, and made me ill prepared for the metal fairy tale that was about to unfold… and I met Jennifer (of L7 fame) and her boyfriend Chris, at the hoity toity restaurant Jar, for drinks beforehand. What I didn’t expect was for his new book, True Norwegian Black Metal, and his Vice VBS TV documentary for of the same name, would be a window on one of the strangest stories in music. ![]() get out of my bad dreams, get into my car ![]() Metal star in a safe, white station wagon? Of course. ![]() The result is vivid, arresting photos that juxtapose the subject with a surprising surrounding. His greatness lies in his ability to really immerse himself in the world of the subject, whether it be London grime, Houston hip hop, Southern strip joints or Norwegian metal.

I know it's a lot to put on his back, but that's why we drafted him. In fact, Cards general manager Steve Keim has already stated ( on the Rich Eisen Show, per a Reuters report in the New York Times) that the Heisman Trophy winner will be the guy in Week 1: 10 overall pick Josh Rosen, during the draft. So those guys deserve a shoutout, but the only answer here is quarterback Kyler Murray, who is almost certain to start from the get-go after the team traded his predecessor, 2018 No. Rookie wide receivers Andy Isabella and Hakeem Butler should have plenty of opportunities to make early impressions with the Arizona Cardinals, especially if new head coach Kliff Kingsbury uses five-receiver sets as often as he has suggested. ![]() |
