Now Richard Scarry's accompanying pictures for Good Night, Little Bear are of course and like always delightfully detailed (almost a trifle overly busy for my older adult aesthetics but young children will most likely simply adore the presented, imaginatively and sweetly rendered, colourfully hued scenes, from Little Bear and his parents to the myriad of diverse objects gracing the Bear family home). Hope by emily dickinson theme7/6/2023 Death is the ultimate unknowable, and so Dickinson circles around it, painting portraits of each of its many facets, as a way to come as close to knowing it as she can. All of these varied pictures of death, however, do not truly contradict each other. In “Some – Work for Immortality –,” death is the moment where the speaker can cash their check of good behavior for their eternal rewards. In “My life had stood – a Loaded Gun –,” the existence of death allows for the existence of life. In “Behind Me dips – Eternity,” death is the normal state, life is but an interruption. In “Because I could not stop for Death –,“ she personifies death, and presents the process of dying as simply the realization that there is eternal life. In “I heard a Fly buzz – when I died –,” Dickinson investigates the physical process of dying. Death is sometimes gentle, sometimes menacing, sometimes simply inevitable. No two poems have exactly the same understanding of death, however. Death is one of the foremost themes in Dickinson’s poetry.

Agency by William Gibson7/4/2023 Gibson's conceit is that "our" timeline is the "real" one from which the others are "stubs", branches formed when somebody in "our" world communicates back to inhabitants in the distant past. Rather the conflict that motivates the book takes place under the radar and at a more personal level. Nothing immediately hangs on the difference in political outcomes and we don't see the longterm effects. But Gibsons insists that people are generally no happier, not knowing what they've been saved from - and the "jackpot", a horrible future featuring decades of catastrophe, is still coming. We don't see the outcome in the UK in this scenario. With its events taking place in San Franciso, the latter timeline gives some quiet signs of hope in the US: a mural celebrating "the President's" courage, for example ('Her opponent loomed behind her, as he once actually had'). The book takes place across three alternate timelines - our world, albeit in 2136, and two versions of 2016, including one where the results of the UK's Brexit referendum and of the US's presidential election were different. Still, we are brought up to speed pretty quickly. Sequel to Gibson's The Peripheral, Agency is a book that can be read as a standalone, although that leaves the reader with a a job of catching up to do. I'm grateful to the publisher for a free advance e-copy of Agency via NetGalley. |
