Of course, all goes to shit and soon there’s a tweaking Bigfoot on a rampage in the woods looking for his next hit. No, I decided to write a novel, Bigfoot Crank Stomp, about meth cookers who catch a Bigfoot and get it hooked on crank for fun. In fact, I had a similar idea ten years ago. The idea of a bear find a bunch of cocaine, getting hooked, and going on a rampage is just my kind of story. In the movie, of course, shit gets batshit crazy, as well it should. Before it could get picked up, a bear helped itself to several million dollars worth of cocaine and died. I won’t go into all the details but the story basically is a bunch of cocaine that was being smuggled in the US by plane got airdropped in the middle of nowhere in Georgia. In the case of Cocaine Bear, the inspiration is an event that happened in the mid-1980s. ![]() ![]() ![]() The group rules are here: ttp://Masthead art credit.

This intuitive, comparative approach offers clear visions of two paths: one toward the default of violence, juxtaposed against what so-called ordinary people can achieve when they act on behalf of peace. The Frontlines of Peace is at its strongest when Autesserre relates detailed stories of surprisingly peaceful zones-places where violence is absent, or limited, despite the prevalence of violence nearby. In the foreword to the book, Nobel Peace Prize recipient Leymah Gbowee expresses appreciation for her focus on success, given that "analysts… keep telling us how and why we get things wrong, but they rarely explain what we can and do get right" (xi). With compelling stories of success from conflicts across the globe, Autesserre insists that peace is "something that already exists, and you can see it if you know where to look" (16). ![]() Séverine Autesserre's The Frontlines of Peace offers a refreshing reprieve from the traditional academic analysis of what goes wrong in peace-building. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It was a time when scientists genuinely believed, as Frankenstein did, that they could know what it feels like to be God."Raising the Dead" is the story of the science of galvanism - named after the Italian scientist Luigi Galvini who had conducted the original experiments - a movement that investigated the theory of 'animal electricity', a unifying vital spirit that animates us all, its leaders believing that they stood on the brink of immortality.

The fact of being already deceased allows Brás Cubas to sharply criticize the Brazilian society and reflect on his own disillusionment, with no sign of remorse or fear of retaliation. The novel is narrated by the dead protagonist Brás Cubas, who tells his own life story from beyond the grave, noting his mistakes and failed romances. The 1881 novel anticipates anticipates a style and form that we now describe as “postmodern.” I’ll share a few excerpts in the future, but for now, here’s the Wikipedia summary (lazy, I know, but I think it’s a bit better than this Oxford UP edition’s blurb): ![]() I got Gregory Rabassa’s translation (I dipped my toe into his translation of Miguel Ángel Asturias’s 1963 novel Mulata a few weeks ago).īrás Cubas reminds me a lot of Tristram Shandy so far-short sharp funny chapters that bop forward and backward. I picked it up because of an oblique recommendation via Twitter a few weeks ago when I was raving about Antonio di Benedetto’s novel Zama. I picked up Brazilian author Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis’s 1881 novel The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas today. ![]() |
