The play takes place over the span of a day (Sunday). Soyinka emphasises the theme of the corrupted African culture through the play, as well as how the youth should embrace the original African culture. The transcript of the play was first published in 1962 by Oxford University Press. Lakunle is portrayed as the civilized antithesis of Baroka and unilaterally attempts to modernize his community and change its social conventions for no reason other than the fact that he can. It chronicles how Baroka, the lion, fights with the modern Lakunle over the right to marry Sidi, the titular Jewel. The Lion and the Jewel is a play by Nigerian writer Wole Soyinka that was first performed in 1959.

Tessa hates everything about being an impostor – the stress, the danger, the deceit – but loves playing the role of a normal girl. When a serial killer rocks a small town in Oregon, Tessa is given a mission: she must impersonate Madison, a local teen, to find the killer before he strikes again. There she trains with other Variants, such as long-term crush Alec, who each have their own extraordinary ability.

The titular tale in Ted Chiang’s second collection of short stories, The Exhalation, is written with a pictorial clarity that cannot fail to engage the reader. He becomes obsessed with purity, with sanctity, to the point where the promise of eternal happiness and threat of eternal pain becomes an albatross around his neck. Craig is raised in a conservative Christian household, and the concepts of heaven and hell root themselves deeply in his mind. The overriding theme of the novel is not subtle: religion versus humanity. It is the cathartic agony that only art can provide. Thompson’s work is a fishhook in the soul, dredging up the wonder and the weariness of first love that some of us have all but forgotten. The cravings of childhood, and the craving to return to it. Blankets is all about…not feelings, but feeling. The minimalistic story cannot be “spoiled,” because it honestly does not matter. I don’t feel much hesitation in laying out the entire plot of Blankets: Craig meets a girl. The book is a brick, weighing in at nearly six hundred pages of heavy paper-despite that, Thompson’s elegantly simplistic storytelling and flowing illustrations make this an ideal single-sitting read. Craig Thompson’s semi-autobiographical work Blankets is something of a contemporary classic in the realm of graphic novels unfortunately, “the realm of graphic novels” has yet to be truly accepted into the realm of “real literature” (although progress is certainly being made). |
