Whether a continuation came through an anthology series or a loose spinoff, Moore's V for Vendetta is ripe for a second installment. ![]() A sequel doesn’t need to be tied down to continuing the individual story of Evey, as readers were led to believe that many more had been inspired by V. Instead of expanding on the origins of V or the surrounding world he inhabits, a followup has the opportunity to elaborate on the graphic novel’s final chapter. Related: Steve Ditko’s Greatest Achievement Isn’t Spider-Man, It’s Watchmen ![]() In the decades since V for Vendetta’s release, there have been many developments which hold relevance to the book’s premise. ![]() One of the weak-points of Before Watchmen related to the initiative's lack of commentary which was prevalent in the original graphic novel. Considering the graphic novel’s real world impact, as it has inspired a spirit echoing V’s liberating mission with the creation of groups like “Anonymous,” there is precedent for additional cultural commentary. ![]() Although Alan Moore is famously against adaptations or expansions of his work by other creative teams, there is a lot of potential for a modern day extension of V for Vendetta. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Say it Again," and "The Beta Male Revolution" has now published an edited, revised and updated edition of his 2012 popular best-seller for single heterosexual men titled, "The Possibility of Sex: How Naïve and Lustful Men are Manipulated by Women Regularly".Ĭurrie is well-known as the very first professional dating coach in what is now known as 'The Manosphere' to encourage single heterosexual men to use upfront, specific, and straightforwardly honest verbal communication methods (otherwise known informally as "direct verbal game") as a means of quickly identifying women who possess sexually duplicitous tendencies and/or highly manipulative and materialistic desires with men.Ĭurrie was also the first professional dating coach to create the concept of the female archetype known as the "Manipulative Timewaster" who are women that are "disingenuous flirts" who seek to exploit men for their non-sexual time, attention, and companionship as well as take advantage of men in order to gain access to their financial resources and material possessions. ![]() Alan Roger Currie, author of the books "Mode One," "Oooooh. ![]() ![]() ![]() Michael Moorcock wrote stories about a character that, without his soul-drinking sword, was too weak to raise himself off the couch. To save us all, a young man from England arrived on the scene in the rather unlikely place of the pages of John Carnell’s Science Fantasy. ![]() Somewhere along the way the writers (with the exception of the redoubtable Fritz Leiber) had forgotten all about the sorcery part of the equation, leaving the basic plot being the lumbering oaf facing off against the frail but far smarter and more powerful sorcerer, who in some act of hubris would manage to screw everything up and wind up with his head in a bag. In any event, after thirty years of Thongors, Elaks, Kyriks, Duars, Donters, Braks, Whacks, Thugs and Thwacks, readers were sick of it. ![]() He spawned lots of imitators, lots and lots of imitators… Howard’s Conan of Cimmeria is generally credited with starting the boom in heroic fantasy that began in the late 1920s and has been with us ever since. ![]() ![]() ![]() Greenblatt discusses the copy annotated by Michel de Montaigne (held at Cambridge University) and we own a copy of the 1563 edition Montaigne read. This copy of the 1495 edition has been annotated by the scholar and editor Hieronymus Avancius in preparing the text for his 1500 Aldine edition of the work (below). We do however hold copies of the three other editions printed before 1501. The first printed edition (1473) is extremely rare: only four copies are known, none in the U.S. ![]() Houghton holds more than 75 different editions of this work let’s take this opportunity to look at some of the most interesting ones. The Swerve concerns the rediscovery of the philosophical poem De Rerum Natura (On the Nature of Things), written in the first century BC by Titus Lucretius Carus, but lost to scholarship until a manuscript text was uncovered in 1417. Congratulations to Harvard’s Stephen Greenblatt, Cogan University Professor of the Humanities, for winning this year’s National Book Award for non-fiction for his book The Swerve: How the World Became Modern. ![]() ![]() Pearl writes, “ Audre Lorde's text is partly an accounting of how she came to be, or how she came to understand herself as, a lesbian. Zami was part of an increasingly popular genre: the coming-out story. This is one way of expanding our vision.” In other words, it’s fiction built from many sources. It has elements of biography and history and myth. Zami is a groundbreaking work that pioneers a new genre of writing, which the author called “a biomythography, which is really fiction. ![]() Published in 1982, Lorde’s book was released in an era when feminist writers, critics, and theorists were coming to terms with the many ways cultural and sexual diversity could be examined, focusing more intently on relations between women rather than simply placing women as a whole in contrast to men. Zami: A New Spelling of My Name is an autobiography by poet Audre Lorde. ![]() ![]() ![]() Since Nevermoor was published in 2017 it has won multiple prizes including the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize in 2018. Whilst book 1 is all about the magical trials for the Wundrous society, book 2 is about life at the magical school and book 3 about a strange and dangerous illness that threatens the world Morrigan lives in. ![]() Morrigan herself is bold, brave and yet strangely insecure and once in Nevermoor she starts to forge friendships for the very first time, including with her best friend Hawthorne. Details like the umbrella transport that helps Morrigan and Jupiter get around and magical creatures like the vampire dwarf and Magnifi-Cat living at Hotel Deucalion help make Nevermoor a truly magical place. Morrigan’s adventures are fabulously inventive with plenty of action and cliff-hangers. The only problem is each child competing in the four impossible trials has a special talent. Mog is taken back to his home, the fantastical Hotel Deucalion and put up for a trial to enter the Wundrous Society. Jupiter North is a strange, red-headed whirlwind who is determined that Morrigan (or Mog to her friends) is special and must escape Jackalfax for the magical Nevermoor. But just as Morrigan’s miserable life is about to be cut short, a curious mentor appears out of nowhere to spirit her away. Born on Eventide, she is feared by everyone around her, blamed for any misfortune that should occur and, worst of all, destined to die on her 11th birthday. ![]() |
