Lone Wolf and Cub was a joint project by Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima about a disgraced shogun executioner who is hell-bent on seeking revenge for the transgressions committed against his family. This is straight-up disrespectful and seeing that put this review to the top of my list. When I picked up volume 1 at Barnes and Nobel it was at the bottom of the shelf. This series is massive and for its storied history, I would consider it to be an underappreciated epic graphic novel. Moreover, for a manga to be written in the 70's and be followed up by having a TV series, over 5 movies, and various spinoffs just speaks to the genre-defining display of writing and drawing found within all 28 Volumes, and yes you read that correctly TWENTY-EIGHT VOLUMES. Rumor has it that Hollywood will be making a movie based on manga/graphic novel as well. Lone Wolf and Cub is credited with influencing big-name titles from The Mandalorian to Bobs Burgers, both of which have had major success. Lone Wolf and Cub has been a favorite read of mine for several years and re-reading it was sublime, as with graphic novels I always notice something I missed the first read around. With manga becoming more and more mainstream over the last fifty or so years it is important to review a historical epic that has a massive amount of influence on authors and creators from all over the world. Lone Wolf and Cub is a little different from what I normally read with this being the first manga I have reviewed. Lone Wolf & Cub by Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima

Julio Cortázar is considered one of the finest Latin American writers of the Twentieth Century, a master of the short story and leader in the genre of the experimental novel. In another letter from 22 January 1964, Cortázar gives, at Micha's request, an idea of his intentions for the experimental novel Rayuela, and explains the different parts within the book's three "plans." Included with this letter are three-pages in French from the first part of Rayuela. In a letter from 25 March 1963, Cortázar writes about Historias de cronopios y de famas, commenting that his style embraced some of the magical aspects found in the writings of Henri Michaux, though he himself leans toward a blacker humor. While the letters mainly concern his contributions to the journal, Cortázar also discusses other writing projects. The Department of Special Collections possesses a collection of 10 letters of Julio Cortázar's to René Micha, editor of the French literary journal, L'Arc.

Rannoch doesn't want to fight, but when an assassin murders the hind who raised him, he knows he must confront Sgorr-and fulfill the rest of the prophecy. Meanwhile, Sgorr conquers herd after herd and uses other wildlife as fodder for his militia's training. Rannoch discovers as they travel that he can talk to-and even heal-other animals.

Clement-Davies's suspenseful debut novel centers on a cast of deer, who, like the rabbits in Watership Down, often use their own special vocabulary (deer, for instance, are ""Herla"" an insult to a Herla would be to call him a ""brailah,"" or hedgehog).

Each new book confirms and extends his genius, and this new short story collection is. Goddamn him' ZADIE SMITH A recognised master of form and a brilliant recorder of human behaviour, David Foster Wallace has been hailed as 'the most significant writer of his generation' (TLS). He's so modern he's in a different time-space continuum from the rest of us. Chronologically, it starts in the Paleolithic age and ends with a story set in 2001. He can do anything with a piece of prose, and it is a humbling experience to see him go to work on what has passed up till now as 'modern fiction'. Oblivion Stories is Wallace’s last collection of short stories and is the object of study in this thesis. * A brand new short story collection from 'the most significant writer of his generation' (TLS) Num Pages: 336 pages.
