![]() ![]() ![]() Turns out, her kid had died a few years beforehand. There was this story on the news the other day about this woman who lost everything because she started smoking crack. It's a personal preference, but I just don't like watching the writers try to decide how Batman should act while in the throes of grief over his dead child. It rankles my nerves a bit, and I wish they'd just dip his ass in a Lazarus pit already and be done with it. I'm not sure how much I'm actually enjoying this Death of Damien storyline. The first time Harper is determined to help Batman deal with his rage after Damien's death. ![]() ![]() Harper (Bluebird) and her brother Cullen feature in this one twice. It showed Bruce trying to clean up the city before he put on the mask.Īlso included was a look at Tim, Jason, Dick, & Barbara's first peek at the Batsymbol in the sky, which coincided with (varying degrees of) turning points in their lives. It starts off with a prequel to Zero Year that was maybe not necessary, but interesting anyway. I will say that they were all consistently good, even if the timelines were all over the map. This is a bunch of leftover stories from random times and places. I would have preferred a long story arc, but dreams don't always come true. ![]() ![]() ![]() It was foolish desire for freedom that resulted in mankind’s banishment from Eden and it is now by abolishing freedom that happiness has been restored. ![]() ![]() The One State is the pinnacle of human social evolution, a mathematically perfect machine in which every citizen – every cog in the machine – lives in a condition of “mathematically infallible happiness” for the first time since the Garden of Eden. Yet regardless of any comparisons, We is valuable in its own right: a compelling story of love and rebellion with a mathematical prose all of its own creation. Similar parallels are noticeable with Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, though Huxley apparently hadn’t read it before publishing in 1932. There are many parallels between the two: for Big Brother, We has the Benefactor, for the telescreen, Zamyatin creates the Table, a formula that constructs every second of every citizens time. It is considered one of the first dystopian novels, and George Orwell read and reviewed a French translation only eight months before starting Nineteen Eighty-Four. ![]() Yet while it remained unpublished in the USSR until Glasnost, a manuscript escaped and has had a lasting influence on literature ever since. Yevgeny Zamyatin completed We in 1921, only for it to gain the dubious honour of becoming the first book to be banned by Glavlit, the newly created Soviet censors. ![]() ![]() ![]() navigates it with grace."- Marshall Project ![]() "Roth got rare access, including at mental health units inside the Los Angeles County Jail and a women's prison in Oklahoma, and dove deep into the stories of a handful of individuals whose florid mental illness led them to prison, was badly managed and resulted in awful outcomes.
