This story reads as if its actually happening, and will have you feeling every little bit. The feelings that ooze out of this book feel wholly authentic, and nothing seems rushed or unreal. Their personalities shine through in this book, and I loved being able to laugh with them at every crazy thing they were saying and doing.Īll of these characters come together to make a truly great story. ![]() (That happened more than I thought it would.) When reading this book I also couldn't help but laugh out loud about every other page because of the quick whit these characters have. Boaz and Maggie had me cracking up at just about everything they said, except for the times in which they were saying some pretty important and meaningful stuff.

When I got back to Van I quickly hunted down Slade's second novel, 1987's Ghoul, which was equally entrancing, and also sported a heavy-metal-based plot. Its cover featured a blurb from one of my fave authors of all time, Robert Bloch, who called it one of the most gruesome things he'd ever read. Headhunter was a riveting read, a really awesome whodunnit, which was made extra special because it was mostly set in B.C. I also have vivid memories of the paperback I took with me, Headhunter, the 1984 debut novel by Vancouver author Michael Slade (which at the time was the pen name for three people, criminal lawyer Jay Clarke being the predominant voice). ![]() I spent five-and-a-half weeks down there, mostly on the beach between Frankston (a nice little seaside town outside Melbourne) and up the coast to Coff's Harbour.Ī few things I remember most fondly about the trip were the drive-in bottle shops, the 24-packs of Toohey's Draft (or I as I liked to call them, "White Rockets"), and the sightings of white pointers (look it up).

This is rooted in a question of something's theoretical end, meaning the teleological end, as in the phrase, "the means to an end." Arnold's opinion is that the telos of art is the freedom to exist in a sovereign way.īut the reality of the situation is that only a small minority of humans ever do get to be completely sovereign. Through analysis of the ideal perfection of the various dynamics which are obvious in the real world, a political theory emerges from Arnold's opinion of art.

In clean, unadorned prose, Power revisits the Turkish genocide directed at Armenians in 1915–1916, the Holocaust, Cambodia's Khmer Rouge, Iraqi attacks on Kurdish populations, Rwanda, and Bosnian "ethnic cleansing," and in doing so, argues that U.S. News and World ReportĪnd now the executive director of Harvard's Carr Center for Human Rights, offers an uncompromising and disturbing examination of 20th-century acts of genocide and U.S responses to them. ![]() ![]() They are most commonly found at shallow depths in tropical waters, but deep water and cold water coral reefs exist on smaller scales in other areas.Ĭoral reefs have declined by 50% since 1950, partly because they are sensitive to water conditions.
