These silent conversations are so powerful they can sink our mood, trip us up and even impact our health.

As a young man, Marlow spent approximately six years sailing in the Pacific before returning to London - where he then saw, in a shop window, a map of Africa and the Congo River. Conrad's novel is thus a frame story, or story-within-a-story.Īs a boy, Marlow was fascinated by maps and yearned to become a seaman or explorer who could visit the most remote parts of the earth. The remainder of the novel becomes (with a few exceptions) the narrator's report of what Marlow tells him and the others on board the Nellie. The other men remain silent while Marlow collects his ideas, after which he begins the story proper. As the sun sets, the four men become contemplative and brooding eventually, Marlow breaks the spell of silence by beginning his tale about his voyage to the Congo. With him are the Director of Companies (their Captain), a lawyer, an accountant, and Marlow, the novel's protagonist. After describing the river and its slow-moving traffic, the unnamed narrator offers short descriptions of London's history to his companions who, with him, lazily lounge on the deck, waiting for the tide to turn. Heart of Darkness begins on board the Nellie, a small ship moored on the Thames River in London. But, can she escape the curse, or is her own destiny also bound by violence?Įlektra tells the story of three women whose fates are impacted by the Trojan War: Clytemnestra, wife of Agamemnon and Helen’s sister, Cassandra, princess of Troy who has the ability to see the future but is cursed by Apollo so that no one will ever believe her, and Elektra, Clytemnestra’s daughter and the youngest princess of Mycenae, who blinded by love for her father, never sees her mother’s side of things as she swears to make things right in the House of Atreus, which is said to have a bloodline curse upon it. The youngest daughter of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon, Elektra is horrified by the bloodletting of her kin. She is powerless in her knowledge that the city will fall. Princess of Troy, and cursed by Apollo to see the future but never to be believed when she speaks of it. Her husband raises a great army against them, and determines to win, whatever the cost. The sister of Helen, wife of Agamemnon – her hopes of averting the curse are dashed when her sister is taken to Troy by the feckless Paris. This is the story of three women, their fates inextricably tied to this curse, and the fickle nature of men and gods. A bloodline tainted by a generational cycle of violence and vengeance.

Are we, as Black women writers, allowed to see each other and write to and about each other this plainly?ĭon’t get me wrong, I don’t presume to be on the same level as 2020 MacArthur Fellow Dr. And, as I delved deeper into the book, I couldn’t help asking myself: Tressie McMillan Cottom in the opening pages of THICK, something instantly felt different about the reading experience. This contortion act is a skill that I’ve had a lifetime to hone, though I know I’m not the only one.īut, as I oriented myself to the voice of author Dr. In the vast majority of stories served up to me as “classics” and “essentials” over the years, I’ve had to contort my reality to fit that of the traditional (read: not Black and not female) narrator. Nothing prepared me to be so directly acknowledged and addressed in a text. When I started reading THICK: And Other Essays, I had to keep putting it down to compose myself. “I did not have a thousand wiles, and I was no fixed star, yet for the first time I felt something in that space. Miller imparted much emotional depth into the story of Circe emotions which were largely absent in most mythological writings. This beautifully-written retelling of the story of the witch of Aiaia was something truly special. But nothing ever came close to my experience of reading Circe by Madeline Miller. I love Greek mythology and have read a few simplified versions of the more well-known old Greek classics. “I will not be like a bird bred in a cage, I thought, too dull to fly even when the door stands open.” Even great tragedies may not necessarily move us that much when events and characters were often related in a matter-of-fact, or even textbook-style, approach. But as fascinating as mythology can be though, it is often told in an omniscient and detached manner. Of those known all over the world, Greek mythology is probably one of the most popular and well-known. Mythology has captured the imagination of children and adults alike, forming the earliest stories ever told in the history of humankind.

Circe by Madeline Miller (Read by Perdita Weeks) History Book Club split main selection BOMC alternate author tour. The author's portrait offers a fresh perspective on WWII and, more than coincidentally during the debate over the proper role of Hillary Rodham Clinton, depicts how a savvy, relentlessly involved First Lady incalculably enriched and shaped the political and social agendas of the nation. Previous works on the Roosevelts have suggested that, as an adviser, Eleanor was her husband's political and social conscience Goodwin shows in stunning detail that even more, she was his astute political partner, lobbyist and goad. As Goodwin makes richly evident, Eleanor was a homefront counterpart to Winston Churchill, a partner and provocateur whose relationship with FDR was rarely smooth and often frankly confrontational. Narrating the events of the war from the vantage point of the White House, Goodwin (Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream) reveals a political drama fought in Congress, within the cabinet, in the press and in the living quarters of the executive mansion. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for History, No Ordinary Time is a monumental work, a brilliantly conceived chronicle of one of the most vibrant and revolutionary periods in the history of the United States. Nor has any history of WWII so fully documented the domestic life of the nation during the international crisis. No Ordinary Time Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in WWII. No previous biography of a president has given so complete a picture of how private lives and political questions intersect uniquely for the residents of the White House.
