It turned out to be a very good salad: easy but interesting enough to hold your attention, robust but balanced.įor some reason the recipe itself is not available to print even though I am signed in. We used kale and cabbage because we figured they would taste better after sitting around in the dressing for a while eventually we figured out that if you lomi (massage) the leaves with a little salt it makes them even more tender. We added crushed potato chips for crunch and more salt, dried cranberries for chew and sweetness. We took roasted peanuts and coated them with sweet-spicy kochujang and garlic salt. The dressing was a crowd-pleasing sweet onion recipe that we’d used at Old Lahaina Luau. Within 30 minutes we had pulled together a salad based on what was in our pantry and what I picked up from the Costco down the street. Maybe we needed something with actual greens in it?Ĭue the Top Chef quickfire music. Then somebody in the kitchen pointed out that we had no salad (other than mac salad) on the menu. Mochiko chicken, pork belly, chop steak-the essentials all locked in. A few days before we opened Tin Roof, we had the menu 90 percent set.

Hugh becomes Marya’s lover, while Lois punishes her with petty cruelties. The heroine, Marya Zelli, whose husband is in prison, moves in with the rich and respectable Hugh and Lois Heidler. Jean Rhys’s first novel, Quartet, reflects closely her misadventures with Ford Madox Ford. As prizes and honors came to her in her old age after the publication of Wide Sargasso Sea, it must have given her grim satisfaction to realize that she had attained entirely by her own efforts a position as a writer at least equal to that of her erstwhile friends. She began to publish her writing under the encouragement of her intimate friend Ford Madox Ford, and she continued to write in spite of falling out of favor with his circle. Although she owes her current reputation in large measure to the rising interest in female writers and feminist themes, her work belongs more properly with the masters of literary impressionism: Joseph Conrad, Ford Madox Ford, Marcel Proust, and James Joyce. Rhys played a noteworthy role in the French Left Bank literary scene in the 1920’s, and between 19, she published four substantial novels and a number of jewel-like short stories. Such praise is overstated, but Rhys’s fiction, long overlooked by academic critics, is undergoing a revival spurred by feminist studies. When Wide Sargasso Sea, her last novel, was published, Jean Rhys (24 August 1890 – ) was described in The New York Times as the greatest living novelist. Analysis of Jean Rhys’s Novel Wide Sargasso Sea As everyone has their own opinion, thinking some of the people as heroes while others see them as villains, the author equally presents his own opinion in the writing. WikiLeaks and hacktivists are loaded terms as are some of the actions described in the book. That being said, the book was not without its flaws. It is impressive that such material could be presented in a way that is not dry and actually conveyed some of the drama and tension going on with the events. The topic includes politics, technical information, conversations, and subtle actions. I enjoyed the read but it did take me a while to get through it. This Machine Kills Secrets is 384 pages long and proved an excellent source of information on more recent information that has not yet made it into the history books (but probably will). This Machine Kills Secrets does a good job of conveying what went on behind closed doors and weaving it into the narrative without getting too technical. Much of what has happened surrounding the Pentagon Papers, cryptography, WikiLeaks, Aaron Barr, IMMI, and other related topics has been left untold to the public because of its political football nature and the technical details could easily be overwhelming. The book tells the story of the people involved more than the software that enabled all of it. It is first and foremost well-cited with lots of original research and interviews. Like her boyfriend Riley, she is devoted to cosplay. Another is Paris Larkin, who longs for a superpower to "make herself visible" (10). Then, there is a visual artist Kevan, who is hundreds of miles away from the main action in the story, but would later draw images of Black men, like Riley and Brother Man, killed by police (8). Nafissa Thompson-Spiress 'Suicide, Watch' provides a dark but humorous portrait of suicide and community in an age of social media. Another Black man, referred to as Brother Man, "was burly but not violent and rather liked to regard himself as an intellectual in a misleading package" (4). From the opening sentences of the opening story in Nafissa Thompson-Spires’s debut collection, Heads of the Colored People, we’re in a world of humor, provocation and deep reflection about. One of the characters, a young Black man named Riley wears colored contacts and bleached hair, and, as we're informed by the narrator, "this wasn’t any kind of self-hatred thing” (1). The narrator takes the time to give us brief, in-depth takes on the movements, choices, and thoughts of four characters. In Nafissa Thompson-Spires's story “Heads of the Colored People: Four Fancy Sketches, Two Chalk Outlines, and No Apology," we are introduced to four characters whose individual stories intersect on a day that two of them are shot by police.
