They can obviously harm our relationships, but on the flip side, can our partnerships help us heal? Let me hold your hand and help you walk across the bridge." They're not just judging and saying "You need to do this." They've been through it, so they're saying "Let me help you. Sometimes in order to feel heard, you have to know that no one's talking down to you they're sitting there with you. I knew it was important for people to feel heard. So I was grappling with the writer hat and the psychotherapist hat. ![]() So putting myself out there was scary for me and uncomfortable, but as a writer you do the opposite: You have to be really vulnerable if you want to be a successful writer. ![]() You don't talk about your experience and you don't talk about yourself. and you can also." But as a therapist, you're a blank slate. I've helped a lot of people who got through this.

Parenti shows how "rational fascism" renders service to capitalism, how corporate power undermines democracy, and how revolutions are a mass empowerment against the forces of exploitative privilege. These terms are often bandied about, but seldom explored in the original and exciting way that has become Michael Parenti's trademark. ![]() "Blackshirts & Reds explores some of the big issues of our time: fascism, capitalism, communism, revolution, democracy, and ecology. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hopefully, Stephen King continues to remind us of the many characters he developed so well into stories and maybe one day we can find out how Mother Abigail’s flock is doing in the post-apocalyptic world of Captain Trips. ![]() Heck, even Joe Hill couldn’t resist referencing “Doctor Sleep” in “NOS4A2” referring to the “True Knot” with Charlie Manxx character’s evil abilities. I even called it “ThinKing of You Constant Reader.” So “Doctor Sleep”, a good stand-alone story, was especially fun for me to read knowing the context. I once even posted to King’s official website how it would make for a cool anthology to take some novels and have other authors write about some key characters and their fictional exploits beyond the last pages of King’s work. When I read the part in “11/22/63” where Richie and Bev make a cameo, it made me remember that captivating summer in the ’80’s when I couldn’t put “It” down. I really loved some of the characters and didn’t want the story to end all of the kids from “It” come to mind. If you're not a Western white male, prepare to get zapped. ![]() Some of those are still cute, while others are hopelessly politically incorrect sixty years later. I used to bend down the corner of the page when I came across a reference to Cujo, or Jack Torrence, or Pennywise. Stephen King is probably evoking his own childhood, including every common expression from that time and place.

Moreover, they can smell his weakness how much he longs for their approval, how eager he is to please them. They think the way he showers attention on the church’s teen girls is creepy. “But to the kids who now thronged the church’s hallways in their bell-bottoms and bib overalls, their bandannas,” Franzen writes, those bona fides “signified only obsolescence.” The youth of Russ’s church consider him helplessly dorky, old and out of touch beyond redemption. ![]() He lines the walls of his office with proof of his progressive bona fides and good taste. He likes Dylan Thomas and has an encyclopedic knowledge of the blues. ![]() He’s a former Mennonite turned associate minister at a suburban church in 1971, but before he moved to the suburbs, he lived in New York. ![]() Russ Hildebrandt, the patriarch at the center of Jonathan Franzen’s excellent new novel Crossroads, has been humiliated. ![]() ![]() His case is purported to be homosexual killing, but is it?

It's the story of Irish Catholic policeman in the RUC when Irish Catholic policemen were targeted by one and all, under suspicion by their own communities, and takes place at that strange time when political parties were and weren't working towards Good Friday Agreement. ![]() "Loved it, and already pre-ordered the second of this trilogy.

It’s no easy job-especially when it turns out that one of the victims was involved in the IRA but was last seen discussing business with someone from the loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force. Detective Sergeant Duffy is the man tasked with trying to get to the bottom of it all. ![]() Hunger strikes, riots, power cuts, a homophobic serial killer with a penchant for opera, and a young woman’s suicide that may yet turn out to be murder: on the surface, the events are unconnected, but then things-and people-aren’t always what they seem. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And we have depth, we have a solid team and not a lot of holes, plain and simple.
