C.

Just off campus, Dr Timothy Leary plays host for his PhD students, laying on a spread of cocktails, pizza and LSD. Among the guests is Fitzhugh Loney, a psychology student, and his librarian wife Joanie. Married young, and both diligently and unglamorously toiling to support their son, they are not the sort of people one would expect to be seduced by the nascent drug culture. But their nights on LSD prove so extraordinary so revelatory, so earth-shattering, so downright seductive that Fitzhugh and Joanie are soon captive to the whims of the charismatic and subversive Dr Tim. Follow Fitzhugh and Joanie on their quest for transcendence, as sultry Mexican nights at Hotel Catalina give way to a ramshackle mansion in upstate New York, where thirty devotees students, wives and children play out the final act of a terrible, beautiful experiment. Join us, won't you? It's going to be one hell of a trip. About the Author T. C.

Grace sets up a new and precarious life along the coast of Madras, with Lucia, the village housekeeper Mallika, the drily witty Auntie Kavitha and an ever-multiplying litter of puppies.

Description 'A provocative and gripping novel by a gifted writer' JOHN BOYNE 'Remarkable, timely ... Impeccably written' ROXANE GAY 'A deftly constructed account of a crime and its consequences' J.M. COETZEE 'A writer of uncommon conviction and tremendous insight' VIET THANH NGUYEN There wasn't anything I could do. All I saw was a man falling to the ground. Late one spring night, Driss Guerraoui, a Moroccan immigrant in California, is walking across a darkened intersection when he is killed by a speeding car. The repercussions of his death bring together a diverse cast of characters: Guerraoui's daughter Nora, a jazz composer who returns to the small town in the Mojave she thought she'd left for good; his widow Maryam, who still pines after her life in the old country; Efraan, an undocumented witness whose fear of deportation prevents him from coming forward; Jeremy, a former classmate of Nora's and now a veteran of the Iraq war; Coleman, a detective who is slowly discovering her son's secrets; Anderson, a neighbor trying to reconnect with his family; and Driss himself. As the characters deeply divided by race, religion and class tell their stories in The Other Americans, Driss's family is forced to confront its secrets, a town faces its hypocrisies and love, in all its messy and unpredictable forms, is born. About the Author Laila Lalami is the author of three successful novels including The Moor's Account, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, longlisted for the Man Booker Prize and won the American Book Award. She has written for publications including the Guardian and the New York Times, and is the recipient of a British Council Fellowship, a Fulbright Fellowship and a Price: $29.99 Guggenheim Fellowship.

Music From Big Pink is faction: real people like Richard Manuel, Rick Danko, Bob Dylan and Albert Grossman rub shoulders with fictional characters and actual, documented events thread their way through text alongside imagined scenarios.

Mr. Ritwik Kaikini 2020, The Stare of a Locked Cupboard in Sciphiweb Repository on Science, Philosophy & Gaming, Retrieve from : http//sciphiweb.com/blogdetails.php?id=VGxSBIBRPTO= Film Review The Stare of a Locked Cupboard A review of Judy (2019) directed by Rupert Goold, Produced by David Livingstone, Screenplay by Tom Edge, Based on End of the Rainbow by Peter Quilter, starring Renée Zellweger, Finn Wittrock, Jessie Buckley, Rufus Sewell, Michael Gambon. Music by Gabriel Yared, Cinematography Ole Bratt Birkeland, Edited by Melanie Ann Oliver Production Company Pathe BBC Films Calamity Films BFI: Jude, released on 27 September 2019 (United States) Ritwik Kaikini The gaze on the eyes of the worn out actress is stern. It is shaky with vibrations from an overworked, sleepless past. Carrying a forced smile she tries to sway her loving audience. An audience which feeds on her personality like devouring a well dressed cake with a delicious frosting. But little does the audience know that if they take a bite from that cake, they will taste something sour in the center. The sweetness is just an escape. The film opens with the nervous, wide-eyed, young Judy Garland (played by Darci Shaw) on the sets of ‘The Wizard of Oz’ in 1939, staring directly at us while the vicious Louis B. Mayer(played by Richard Cordery), the producer lurking in the shadows, advises her that if she were to quit her creative career, leave the sets and live a ‘normal’ life like all the other girls out there, she would be forgotten forever and swallowed up like a raindrop in the Pacific Ocean.
