![]() ![]() I love love love this and you can totally call me out for the huge book nerd that I am. Hidden technical aspects of a novel like this give me life. ![]() For act three, there are no dosage notes at all. When things start going downhill (and in a technical aspect, towards the climax of the novel), so is Adam’s dosage as he’s slowly weaned off of the drug. In the beginning, Adam has just started out on the drug ToZaPrex and the dosages are listed at the beginning of each chapter. To me, that was ingenious and something that was so creative as a writer. ![]() ![]() Call me a nerd but I absolutely love the fact that Walton had her novel set up in the three-act structure simply by the dosages listed by Adam’s therapist. Boy did she hit it on the nail, though.Īs for the story, I appreciated the way it was structured. I admire Julia Walton the most for that, I think, because it is so hard sometimes as a female writer to write from the male perspective. I often laughed out loud at Adam’s unique humor and felt that I was back in high school with my husband (then boyfriend, of course) listening to his boyish conversations with his friends. Julia Walton did an amazing job shaping Adam’s character as well as the personalities of other supporting characters. I found them to be so well-grounded and extremely relatable. I think what I loved most about Words on Bathroom Walls was the characters. ![]()

Burroughs![]() ![]() Mexico, Jorge García-Robles makes clear, was the place in which Burroughs embarked on his “fatal vocation as a writer.” (He would be tried and convicted of murder in absentia after fleeing Mexico.)įirst published in 1995 in Mexico, where it received the Malcolm Lowry literary essay award, The Stray Bullet is an imaginative and riveting account of Burroughs’s formative experiences in Mexico, his fascination with Mexico City’s demimonde, his acquaintances and friendships there, and his contradictory attitudes toward the country and its culture. He would remain in Mexico for three years, a period that culminated in the defining incident of his life: Burroughs shot his common-law wife, Joan Vollmer, while playing William Tell with a loaded pistol. ![]() Still uncertain about being a writer, he had left behind a series of failed business ventures-including a scheme to grow marijuana in Texas and sell it in New York-and an already long history of drug use and arrests. Burroughs arrived in Mexico City in 1949, having slipped out of New Orleans while awaiting trial on drug and weapons charges that would almost certainly have resulted in a lengthy prison sentence. ![]() 5/21/2023 0 Comments All my puny sorrows summary![]() ![]() ![]() The author regrets her choice not to help her sister die and this is her processing it and her explanation as to why. I think the book is semi-biographical and the 2nd ending is the outcome that she wishes she had. 6 months later her sister took her own life. One is our narrator, Yolandi, a moderately successful author of rodeo-themed young adult. Her sister approached her to aid her in killing herself and she declined. In Miriam Toews's brilliant and desperately sad new novel, All My Puny Sorrows, we meet two sisters. My theory - the author, Miriam Toews, lived through a similar situation as the story. ![]() My questions is, what do you think happened? How do you interpret 2 endings? Or did I by chance miss something altogether!? The second starts with a letter that she wrote to her sister, likely a goodbye letter? And they are on their way to Switzerland together, presumably to allow her sister to say Goodbye. The first ending is that her sister takes her own life and the fall out of all that. ![]() It appears to have a double ending or a sort of alternate ending within itself. ALL MY PUNY SORROWS Trailer, directed by Michael McGowanBased on the 2014 international best-seller by Miriam Toews, this poignant tale follows the intertwin. What a sad book!

The first transmission of Buddhism to Tibet took place with the support of the imperial government, and it continued until disrupted in the mid-9th century by the collapse of the Tibetan empire. Tibet continued to receive transmissions of texts and practices from India until approximately 1500 CE, and thus received the full flowering of Indian Buddhism, particularly the tantric or Vajrayāna form of Buddhism that developed in India around the 7th century. ![]() ![]() Buddhism reached Tibet relatively late, around the 7th century, and within a few centuries it became the dominant religion on the Tibetan plateau. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you want to see the trailer for The Creative Brain, click the little brain below.
