And when I first opened it up & started reading, I was pretty darn sure I'd end up hating this sucker. SHOCKING.Īnyway, I don't know that I'll be going out of my way to recommend this, but I certainly didn't think it was a big old stinker. Which makes it absolutely shocking that I ended up really enjoying this. Cop stories aren't really my thing, to be honest.Īnd this is a slow-burn of a story, with no real (to me) BIG FINALE, if you know what I mean. So, basically, this is a world where almost everyone has superpowers, and a lot of the supers are also cops. Now, the art didn't exactly make me jump up and down for joy, but considering this is an older ish comic (1999), I'm pretty much giving it a pass. I don't know.interesting?Īnd I was already a little leery, because I'm not exactly the target audience for anything written by Alan Moore. At the end it kinda took me by surprise how much I like Top 10!Īt first I wasn't all that into it, because it didn't seem to be going anywhere, and the characters weren't all that.

She had a round pale face, the usual exhausted face of the slum girl who is twenty-five and looks forty, thanks to miscarriages and drudgery and it wore, for the second in which I saw it, the most desolate, hopeless expression I have ever-seen. She looked up as the train passed, and I was almost near enough to catch her eye. I had time to see everything about her-her sacking apron, her clumsy clogs, her arms reddened by the cold. At the back of one of the houses a young woman was kneeling on the stones, poking a stick up the leaden waste-pipe which ran from the sink inside and which I suppose was blocked. As we moved slowly through the outskirts of the town we passed row after row of little grey slum houses running at right angles to the embankment. This was March, but the weather had been horribly cold and everywhere there were mounds of blackened snow. “The train bore me away, through the monstrous scenery of slag-heaps, chimneys, piled scrap-iron, foul canals, paths of cindery mud criss-crossed by the prints of clogs. Out of the 'ruins of the museum of political depression' springs a 'tomorrow free of the rhetorical trickery of colonizers everywhere.' Happiness, this beautiful book says, is the ultimate act of resistance." "In this stunning essay-collection-cum-prose-poem-cycle, Belcourt meditates on the difficulty and necessity of finding joy as a queer NDN in a country that denies that joy all too often. * A Best Book of 2020 - Kirkus Reviews, Book Riot, CBC, Globe and Mail, Largehearted Boy, Maudlin House * 2021 Lambda Literary Award for Gay Memoir/Biography, Finalist.

They seemed indolent as Nadi herself when they basked on the banks in the sunlight, but their doubly forked blue tongues flicked in and out like flames. There were crocodiles in it, or at least what we called crocodiles, sleek and shining emerald lizards with eight legs and jaws like traps. Our lazy southern river always smiled, and sometimes laughed aloud, showing a froth of white lace underskirt where it tumbled over rocks. Or perhaps it is simply that the noises of the town keep me from hearing the river. I do not think this is the same river we had in the south. It is not a big wall I have seen others much higher but it goes all the way around, except where the river comes in and goes out. I have never seen a whole town with a wall before. Strange how much a quire of writing paper can mean to a man who has made such quantities of it. Besides, the man who owns the shop would give me more ink if I asked for it, I feel certain. I have paper again, and there is still a lot of ink in the little bottle. He also took charge of a motorboat ambulance service at Gallipoli in 1915. The success of his second book was followed by the publication of several long narrative poems, including Dauber (1914) and Reynard the Fox (1919).With the outbreak of the war, Masefield became an orderly at a hospital in France. Thinking that journalism might allow him to write for a living, Masefield returned to England in 1897.Masefield’s first volume of oetry, Salt-Water Ballads, was published in 1902, however, it was not until the publication of The Everlasting Mercy in 1911 that he made his mark on the literary scene. He found work as a bar hand but eventually secured employment at a carpet factory. But Masefield had other plans: he deserted ship vowing “to be a writer, come what might.”At seventeen Masefield was living as a vagrant in America. Arrangements were then made for him to join another ship in New York. Masefield’s apprenticeship was disastrous-he was classified as a Distressed British Seaman after a voyage around Cape Horn-and he soon left the ship. After being orphaned at an early age, he was sent to sea aboard the school-ship HMS Conway in preparation for a naval career. John Masefield (1878-1967) was born in Herefordshire, England. The relatively short period that elapsed between the submission by Ford, on 23 December 1972, of their plan to the government and the plant's inauguration was seen as evidence of the government's enthusiasm for the project. Īt the time when the plant was planned, the dictator Francisco Franco was still in charge of the Spanish government which pursued a fiercely mercantilist economic policy. Construction had cost 680 million dollars. Just a week after that, on 25 October 1976, the king formally inaugurated the plant. Exactly 1,000 days later, on 18 October 1976, the first Ford Fiesta rolled off the production line. In 1973 the Ford Motor Company headed by Henry Ford II purchased 270 acres (1.1 km 2) of orchard on the edge of Valencia. with a production capacity of 450,000 vehicles a year and 8,000 employees, it is Ford's largest manufacturing complex outside the United States.
