McWhorter, a regular New York TimesĬontributor, focuses on two shattering moments in Birmingham in 1963 that led to "the end of apartheid in America": when "Bull Connor's police dogs and fire hoses" attacked "school age witnesses for justice," and when the Ku Klux Klan bombed the 16th Street Church, killing four black girls. The story of civil rights in Birmingham, Ala., has been told before-from the unspeakable violence to the simple, courageous decencies-but fresh, sometimes startling details distinguish this doorstop page-turner told by a daughter of the city's white elite. ![]()

The field of Comparative Literature is the critical and theoretical perimeter by which the article proposal develops itself. The fictional arguments used by the narrator of the novel are the key to the return to Camões, this time, unusual for the proposed intertextual articulation. Based on this assumption, the article develops seeking to point out how the fictional reading, which the text of the novel presents, leaves open the possibility of re-reading of Camões himself. The movement privileges the intertextual outline of the “reading” that the narrator of the novel offers the reader. The present article tries to analyze this fictionalization – the one realized by the novel – approaching the text of the novel by the bias of Psychoanalysis. The novel by Frederico Lourenço, Pode um desejo imenso (2005), offers an opportunity to return to Camões, this time, through a fictionalized reading. It can such a literature? Detalhes bibliográficos Autor(a) principal: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Title comes from: Stella had a habit of lying about her life instead of telling the truth. Again, was she voluntarily deciding she’d rather go live under the hill instead of in her made-up life or was she being forced under the hill by the magic? It wasn’t clear to me which was happening. The story was creepy but the ending was weird. The question was, did the host force the child’s life into that pattern or did the host just see the future of the child and put it into story form? Stella’s description of her life seemed to indicate that the host forced the child into that life. When Stella started looking into it, she quickly discovered that the stories seemed to describe the later life of one of the children playing. It also seems that no one really remembers the stories or the show. The kids would come in and play while the host told creepy fairy tales. As you were supposed to, I found the children’s show quite creepy. Even weirder, many of the stories the host told came true.įinal thoughts: This story definitely slid toward the horror side of fantasy. In helping to clean out Denny’s house, she’s reminded of a weird children’s show many of the town’s kids were on when they were young. Summary: Stella reconnects with a high school friend when his brother, Denny dies. Setting: it felt like a New England town, present day This is another novelette nominated for the Hugo Awards. ![]() |
