I just downloaded the next book in the series so I can start it, and I have 2 books in my library that I was going to read before I continued the series. This is a book that I wanted to listen to all in one sitting. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Gabra Zackman's performance was one of the best. I have listened to many wonderful audiobooks. What does Gabra Zackman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book? I did not feel like the next books were being "set up". A reader is allowed a glimps of them that does not interfere with the main story. The brothers were introduced well in this book. I honestly think that a narrator can ruin a great story. I was excited to see it come into Audible's library. The audio edition of Velvet Promise is better than the print version. Would you consider the audio edition of Velvet Promise to be better than the print version? ![]() ![]() “Armentrout works her magic with swoon-worthy guys and a twist you never see coming.

Some of these pieces were surely composed late in Melville's career, during his retirement, but others may date to as early as the 1850s. ![]() These unfinished writings include, besides Billy Budd, two projected volumes containing poems and prose pieces, Weeds and Wildings and Parthenope three prose pieces, "Rammon," "Story of Daniel Orme," and "Under the Rose" and some three dozen poems of varying lengths. As Hershel Parker has pointed out, "It is a wonderfully teachable story-as long as it is not taught as a finished, complete, coherent, and totally interpretable work of art." Furthering Melville's goal of getting his last literary projects into print, even in their imperfect forms, this last volume in the edition presents the poetry and prose that Melville was unable to finish, his sometimes ineffectual, sometimes heroic purposes betrayed by death. ![]() ![]() But that assessment is at least partly founded on the assumption that the story was complete and ready for publication when it was left among the manuscripts on Melville's writing desk when he died in 1891. The gripping tale of a handsome and charismatic young sailor who runs afoul of his ship's master-at-arms, is falsely accused of inciting a mutiny, and hung, Billy Budd, Sailor is often treated as a masterpiece, a canonical work. ![]() ![]() ![]() Look at them, all the sad wraiths of sad mad men and passionate rebels-your Schopenhauers, your Strindbergs, your Tolstois and Nietzsches. "Bog-lights, vapours of mysticism, psychic overtones, soul orgies, wailings among the shadows, weird gnosticisms, veils and tissues of words, gibbering subjectivisms, gropings and maunderings, ontological fantasies, pan-psychic hallucinations-this is the stuff, the phantasms of hope, that fills your bookshelves. Their creeds were their schemes, their religions their nostrums, their philosophies their devices, by which they half-believed they would outwit the Noseless One and the Night. They were vexed by the brazen law of the Ecclesiast that men die like the beasts of the field and their end is the same. ![]() And the metaphysicians would win by if they had to tell lies to do it. Night and the Noseless One were ogres that beset the way of light and life. The voodoos and medicine men and the devil-devil doctors were the fathers of metaphysics. “It is nothing new, these vital lies men tell themselves, muttering and mumbling them like charms and incantations against the powers of Night. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of The Huntress and The Alice Network returns with another heart-stopping World War II story of three female code breakers at Bletchley Park and the spy they must root out after the war is over.

More recently, I’ve been thinking, too, about its mad circling of artificiality and authenticity, two sides of the same coin. When I first read The Maids, I wasn’t interested in the idea of murder but in Genet’s highly charged representation of the two sisters, their crazed relationship to each other, as well as to their “Madame,” and in the depiction of class warfare in a domestic space. I’ve never seen the play performed, though I’ve watched the film version from 1975, directed by Christopher Miles. First performed in Paris in 1947, the play is loosely based on the story of the infamous Papin sisters, who murdered their employer in 1933 in Le Mans, France. When I was writing my novel Indelicacy, I felt myself in conversation with Jean Genet’s play The Maids. ![]() Here, Amina Cain revisits Jean Genet’s The Maids. Revisited is a series in which writers look back on a work of art they first encountered long ago. ![]() |
