Henry Louis Gates, Jr.'s original, groundbreaking study explores the relationship between the African and African-American vernacular traditions and black literature, elaborating a new critical approach located within this tradition that allows the black voice to speak for itself.Įxamining the ancient poetry and myths found in African, Latin American, and Caribbean culture, and particularly the Yoruba trickster figure of Esu-Elegbara and the Signifying Monkey whose myths help articulate the black tradition's theory of its literature, Gates uncovers a unique system for interpretation and a powerful vernacular tradition that black slaves brought with them to the New World. ![]() ![]() I have lots of questions and compliments, and we might dip into some of his previous work during our discussion. ![]() I’m so excited to talk to Stephen about his latest novel, My Heart is a Chainsaw, a horror story about a small Idaho town under siege of a brutal, inventive killer.

Brief Summary of Book: The Shadow of Perseus: A Novel by Claire Heywood ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() It is a Young Adult only because of the protagonist’s age. It is a superhuman story, but the characters have all lost their humanity. The post-apocalyptic twist makes the entire world unique and as fascinating as a new fantasy world. It is an Urban Fantasy only because it is set on Earth. Well to be clear the trifecta above is only technically true. Now when I consider those holistically it’s understandable why people looking for mainstream fantasy books with imaginary worlds, magical races, spells and curses thrown around may not really look at the series in detail. ![]() It’s (a) an Urban Fantasy, (b) A Superhuman story and (c) It’s Young Adult. It is my opinion that Reckoners suffers greatly from being at the crux of a trifecta of genres that fantasy readers may not think it’s up their alley. Note: The review covers the series generically in full rather than by individual books. Misborn & Stormlight deservedly have their place in the limelight for being a stunning set of books, but I do believe Reckoners deserves more recognition and is as good as any of the other series by Sanderson. ![]() ![]() I’ve noticed that in recent times whenever Brandon Sanderson books are discussed, Reckoners always seem to fly under the radar. * Mitosis is a side story set in world and best read in order after Steelheart Books in Series: Steelheart, Mitosis*, Firefight, Calamity ![]() ![]() Try your hand at Spring Chicken with Leeks and Peas and you're all set to turn out a rib-sticking Rice and Chicken Stoup that looks and tastes like an entirely different dish. ![]() Learn how to make a Southwestern Pasta Bake and you'll be able to make a Smoky Chipotle Chili Con Queso Mac the next time.
