![]() ![]() On a plane to LA to decide my fate- “to move to LA or not to move to LA” that is the question, my big bro, Mark, coincidentally with the same last name as mine (author of PRINCES IN EXILE, DREAMS OF THE SOLO TRAPEZE and STARCROSSED) handed me a young adult book he found at the library he thought I’d like to read during the flight.Īs I read the book, I thought, ‘I can do this!’ It was during this time I began to write an adult novel about a rock star-I had always enjoyed writing.įast forward a couple of years along with a move home where I was performing “stand-up” at comedy clubs in the area. There, I graduated from the Second City Training Center and performed improv, Shakespeare, comedies and dramas-I even sang and danced on a cruise boat-without falling in Lake Michigan! A classmate of mine from Second City and I created and performed a two woman show for a year before I braved it alone doing stand-up comedy.

But he also reveals aspects of the Wizarding world that his Muggle readers might find all too familiar, like censorship, intolerance, and questions about the deepest mysteries in life. Names familiar from the Harry Potter novels sprinkle the pages, including Aberforth Dumbledore, Lucius Malfoy and his forebears, and Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington (or "Nearly Headless Nick"), as well as other professors at Hogwarts and the past owners of the Elder Wand. Professor Dumbledore's commentary - apparently written some eighteen months before his death - reveals not just his vast knowledge of Wizarding lore, but also more of his personal qualities: his sense of humor, his courage, his pride in his abilities, and his hard-won wisdom.

The final sentence of the story has become a very popular cliché expression in the Polish fandom. When I teach the towers of Hanoi, I always quote Clarke's story. Each move is a holy act (analogous to a name of God), and the purpose of man is to do the 2^64-1 holy acts.10^30 is somewhat larger than nine billion. This story has always reminded me of the Towers of Hanoi myth. One of the most chilling, disturbing endings I've read. I actually had to strain to keep my eyes from prematurely reading the last line.

Monjack and Murphy joined a long line of filmmakers who attempted to bring The White Hotel to the screen. At its best, it’s a disturbing entanglement of delirious smut and devastating horror. A six-part postmodern mash-up of poetry, prose, and letters ostensibly about an opera singer who turns to Sigmund Freud for treatment of psychosomatic pain and visions that would foretell her own demise during the Holocaust, The White Hotel fuses intense erotic fantasy with historical catastrophe. Thomas’ novel The White Hotel has, over the last three decades, earned a reputation as one of the great unadaptable works of modern literature. It would have been a minor miracle if they had. ![]() Take, for instance, this quote from : “In addition to The White Hotel and Clueless, the Atlanta-born Murphy costarred in 8 Mile with Eminem, and Girl, Interrupted…In May of 2007, she married her White Hotel director, Simon Monjack.” The problem: Monjack and Murphy never actually made The White Hotel.

Now she finds out that Kayla not only died in her house, but was murdered and Kayla wants to know who did it.
