Illustrated This story from the Vision Books series for youth 9 -15 years old is a beautiful story about the most popular saint of modern times, St. I prefer to write from an office space I have. I am definitely happiest when working on a novel, but having time off to work on other projects always serves as a good palate cleanser between novels. You’re a very prolific writer and have written audiobooks as well as fiction and non-fiction and journalism– do you have a preference? Watching Jodie Whittaker read lines that I have written is one of about four times I’ve ever cried in my career. Writing for Doctor Who is surreal, and I’m not sure I’ve ever really processed what it would have meant to me as a child. You grew up being a big fan of Doctor Who, what was it like to go on to write a Doctor Who novel and spin-off audiobook? Moreover I had an inkling of what readers might enjoy – I was borrowing a lot of books from the kids in my class. I like to think it added an authenticity to my work. It helped that I was working with young adults. You worked in education at the beginning of your career, how do you think that experience shaped your writing? I wrote for the student newspaper and some sketch comedy at university, but I didn’t set out to write a novel until my late 20s when I was reading a lot of young adult fiction during my teaching years. As a teenager, I wrote what we’d now call fan fiction – mostly Doctor Who or Buffy. My head has always been full of stories, but I found it hard to commit them to the page. I’ve always written, and I’ve always been obsessed with books. “ Whose legs are we talking about?” Rory asked. They were a menace, those shorts, and the same pair he’d worn a week ago when Matthew stopped in to harass his older brother, William, and see how preparations for the grand opening were shaping up. If he’d had any doubts on that score, the clinging nylon shorts that were threatening to Free Willy at any moment would have been confirmation enough. But the slender fitness demon on his second set of come-hither squats had been taking up his attention for days. Why else would he choose to spend a Friday night at his brother’s boxing gym, eating cold ham off a paper plate and working up the courage to approach a man he didn’t know? He wasn’t the obsessive type and, the last time he’d checked, he wasn’t into guys. Matthew made the question sound like an afterthought, idle curiosity meant to fill a lull in conversation instead of something he’d been patiently waiting to ask for the last hour. I didn’t quite manage the nice handout I envisioned, but as I put together my remarks I gathered a little data, and so this post relates the explorations I made. I had wanted to bring to that roundtable a couple of quick factoids from that reception history using JSTOR’s archive of scholarly journals. Anyway it made me want to think more about the reception history of this essay. On Monday I participated in a roundtable discussing Walter Benjamin’s essay “The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility”/“The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction.” Rereading this essay after not having looked at it in five years or so, I was struck by the degree to which Benjamin anticipated (or, better, laid the groundwork for) both the rhetoric and the analytic procedures of contemporary historicist literary criticism and cultural studies: coordinating large social-structural changes with changes in artistic genres and artistic values attending to popular culture alongside high culture and, especially, announcing the imperative to “politicize art.” This is not quite as banal as might seem-after all, Benjamin was not an academic, and this famous essay is not a work of literary criticism or of philology. This post could also be called: Walter Benjamin in the Age of Me Noodling Around with Small Data. 'If you put three thoughts into a movie you've broken the law and no one will come,' Sean Penn told an audience at the Edinburgh Festival in 2001. In these days of the marketing-driven Hollywood, and a world cinema dominated by the Hollywood machine, films aim coarsely at low tastes. We hope for diversion, and usually get it, but we so rarely get anything more. Yes, there are the passable Friday night specials, measured by critics including myself in terms of their value in entertaining us for two hours. Of all the arts, movies are the most powerful aid to empathy, and good ones make us into better people. If the film is any good, those faces reflect an out-of-the-body experience: the audience for a brief time is somewhere else, sometime else, concerned with lives that are not its own. François Truffaut said that for a director it was an inspiring sight to walk to the front of a movie theatre, turn around, and look back at the faces of the audience turned up to the light from the screen. They allow us to enter other minds, not simply in the sense of identifying with the characters, although that is an important part of it, but by seeing the world as another person sees it. 101 things I learned in architecture school by Matthew Frederick Here are a few books that will strike the right chord with you.
