Is The Odyssey the greatest tale ever told?Īnd what an addiction The Divine Comedy inspired: a literary work endlessly adapted, pinched from, referenced and remixed, inspiring painters and sculptors for centuries. In late 13th Century Florence, books were sold in apothecaries, a testament to the common notion that words on paper or parchment could affect minds with their ideas as much as any drug. Literary ambition seems to have been with Dante, born in 1265, from early in life when he wished to become a pharmacist. But it’s just one line of the 14,233 that make up The Divine Comedy, the three-part epic poem published in 1320 by Florentine bureaucrat turned visionary storyteller Dante Alighieri. ![]() ![]() He agrees to play as her boyfriend so that she can continue the charades she has going for her parents and through the process they fall in love.

The story is about a girl who after the loss of her sister feel like she has to fill the older sister's shoes and become perfect however after a few years she decides to be herself by getting piercings and tattoos and let's not forget the punky hair.

I am not one who has ever liked permanatly altering my body by painting it and I'll have to say growing up with a very conservative family and holding an even more conservative job, I have never found body piercings or tattooing appealing. Not quite sure how but in this story she Cora manages to make tattoos sexy! Ok. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Why deprive our pets of the pleasures of Tuscan living? This barely merited a raised eyebrow I’d already been guilty of feeding my cat Fancy Feast’s White Meat Chicken Tuscany. Recently, I watched my friend fill his dog’s bowl with Beneful Tuscan Style Medley dog food. I have eaten, sometimes on Tuscan dinnerware, a Tuscan Chicken on Ciabatta from Wendy’s, a Tuscan Chicken Melt from Subway, the $6.99 Tuscan Duo at Olive Garden, and Tuscan Hummus from California Pizza Kitchen. I have stood barefoot on Tuscan bathroom tiles, washing my hands under Tuscan faucets after having used Tuscan toilets. I have sat on Tuscan-brown sofas surrounded by Tuscan-yellow walls, lounged on Tuscan patios made with Tuscan pavers, surrounded by Tuscan landscaping. The 1996 book “Under the Tuscan Sun” turned a region of Italy into a shorthand for a certain kind of bourgeois luxury and good taste. ![]() ![]() ![]() Oops Simulated Ideas: (not the result of an actual oops but still creative) from my sister, a former kindergarten teacher.ġ. Honestly, an ‘oops’ is in the ‘moment’…It’s a creative solution to a happening. That was the beginning of Beautiful Oops. I decided it looked like an alligator’s mouth. One day, I was sitting in my studio and tore a piece of paper in half. Teachers requested that I write a book, teaching that concept. Rather than starting over, I painted clouds over each paw print. A dog climbed up on to my desk and walked across the paper, leaving paw prints that I couldn’t erase. The other is from an old book of mine, The Flying Garbanzos. ![]() I spilled coffee on it and decided the shape looked like a monster. Two of the images I show how I turned mistakes into artwork.

Cauley transports us to the overpriced real estate and marginal residents of hipster Brooklyn, as seen through the wide eyes and increasingly jaded heart of protagonist Aretha. These oh-so-serious questions are tackled with scathing, lol-inducing wit in The Survivalists, Kashana Cauley’s smart, sharp debut novel. In today’s America, what constitutes success? What are the obstacles to achieving it? How do race, class, age, and location affect the odds? ![]() |
