Keum Suk Gendry-Kim’s second book, The Waiting, offers a compelling case in point it’s vividly rendered graphic fiction with roots in autobiography. ![]() While the story focuses on one extended family, it can easily be read as a stand-in for the experience – and tragedy – of Korea as a whole. Starting with the mother's harsh yet still bucolic childhood under the Japanese occupation, which was filled with its own sorrows, the story takes an abrupt turn with the start of hostilities between the Soviet and Chinese-backed North and the US-backed South, and the mother is forced to flee, along with her own, newly formed family. Told through a framing bracket of the daughter/author's relationship (á la Maus) the mother's story gradually unspools in page after page of well composed comics, affectingly employing bold brushwork. Talk about a story that pulls at the heart-strings! While The Waiting is "fictional," it is loosely based on that of the author's own family history focused particularly on that of her mother, who fled to what is now South Korea during the onset of the Korean War that divided the country. ![]() ![]() A character suggests that one elf faction wants to remove humans from their current homes and put them in a "sanctuary" because they're causing trouble, environmental and otherwise.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content?

As the screenplay was plotted by Davies, the denouement was inevitable and appropriate. I also would take issue with his use of the book's primary symbol, the rose. But Davies missed a half-dozen moments that are so excruciatingly, painfully tender which he could have incorporated if his sensibility were more feminine. I certainly enjoyed those, on film as in the book. Davies, as he admits in the commentary that accompanies the film on DVD, wanted particularly to emphasis the more scatological bits in the book. I realize that Davies is a very good adapter, but I wish the producers had chosen a woman to write the screenplay. But, still, it's often hard to read the original material after a film gives away the best parts. I know that one must view a novel and a film as different media and judge them accordingly. ![]() I'm glad I read (twice) the book first which is usually the case for me. I think Andrew Davies did an admirable job of taking a magnificent book which emulated the pace and styling of a Victorian novel and turning it into a moving and entertaining film. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I feel like our books are related, like sisters.

It’s a satirical story about the pitfalls of identity politics that for both writers, is a little too familiar. Kuang’s latest novel, follows a young white woman, June, as her life blossoms-then unravels-after plagiarizing a book written by her Asian-American “bestie,” Athena. Kuang had never spoken to writer Zakiya Dalila Harris before this interview, but the best-selling novelists-who have both written about the publishing industry’s thirst to capitalize off of race and identity-were ready to get into it. ![]() ![]() ![]() For the record, I see the advantages (and disadvantages) of each. Publishing today is a complicated business full of many options and proponents on different sides vocalizing their path is “the right one” with full-throated conviction. Sullivan on April 14th, it wasn’t for unconventional publishing, that would have been the end of the road for Hollow World. “ The First Empire series is based in the same world as the Riyria books, but it takes place several thousand years in the past,” Sullivan told me when I asked what the new series had to offer old fans. I caught up with Sullivan to chat about the new series and his half-million dollar deal. ![]() ![]() The deal includes the first four volumes of the series: Rhune, Dherg, Rhist and Phyre. Yesterday, Sullivan announced that he’s sold The First Empire, a new epic fantasy set in the same world as the Riyira Revelations to Del Rey. Since then, he’s been a poster boy for Hybrid Publishing, an approach that allows authors to leverage the strengths of both the traditional publishing model and self publishing to their advantage and the advantage of their readers. His debut series, the Riyira Revelations, sold 90,000 units before Sullivan sold the publishing rights to Orbit Books in 2011. ![]() Sullivan is one of fantasy’s most prominent self-publishing success stories. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He was fascinated by the multiplicity of things and saw himself as a library cormorant, greedy for knowledge Charles Lamb called him 'an archangel slightly damaged'. With his marriage failing and his friendship with Wordsworth at a sorry end, Coleridge acquired the reputation of a brilliant speaker whose poetic career had lost its way. It was with William, on long walks in Somerset, that 'The Rime' was born, along with 'Kubla Khan', the extremity of their visions indebted to Coleridge's addiction to opium. He married Sara Fricker in Bristol in 1795, and became close friends with William and Dorothy Wordsworth.
