![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This certainly doesn't mean that I'm quitting my day job, but it does give me a place to shed a little light on what it's like to be a kid from Springfield, Virginia, walking through life while living out the crazy dreams I had as young musician. The joy that I have felt from chronicling these tales is not unlike listening back to a song that I've recorded and can't wait to share with the world, or reading a primitive journal entry from a stained notebook, or even hearing my voice bounce between the Kiss posters on my wall as a child. Having entertained the idea for years, and even offered a few questionable opportunities ("It's a piece of cake! Just do four hours of interviews, find someone else to write it, put your face on the cover, and voila!") I have decided to tell these stories just as I have always done, in my own voice. Features excerpts from five never before heard demos performed by Dave Grohl and an original story exclusive to The Storyteller audiobook. ![]()

![]() Souvenirs are shown for what they really are: not just objects, but personalized forms of folk storytelling that enable people to make sense of the world and their place in it. Drawing on several millennia of examples-from the relic-driven quests of early Christians, to the mass-produced tchotchkes that line the shelves of a Disney gift shop-travel writer Rolf Potts delves into a complicated history that explores issues of authenticity, cultural obligation, market forces, human suffering, and self-presentation. More than mere merchandise, these travel souvenirs take on a personal and cultural meaning that goes beyond the object itself. Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.įor as long as people have traveled to distant lands, they have brought home objects to certify the journey. ![]() ![]() Watermark Books & Cafe will host Rolf Potts for an author talk and signing of Souvenir on Thursday, April 12 at 6:00 p.m. ![]() ![]() He cannot help but think of his own missing wife and her unsolved fate.Įlsewhere in the city, when Tom Bryce finds a disc left on a train, he simply tries to do the right thing – return it to its owner.īut this attempted act of kindness makes him the sole witness to that same vicious murder. ![]() What is the second film Looking Good Dead about?ĭetective Superintendent Roy Grace investigates when a young woman’s body is found butchered in Brighton. ![]() ITV has already made a second film, although a transmission date has yet to be confirmed.įeature length film Looking Good Dead is adapted from Peter James’ novel of the same name.

As we join him to witness the insertion of the Soul known as Wanderer into her eighth incarnation – her first as a human, having previously been a bat, a flower, a bear, a spider, a See Weed – most of the human bodies remaining on planet earth have been occupied. The healer Fords Deep Waters is a Soul, so by nature he was all things good: compassionate, patient, honest, virtuous and full of love… However, because Fords Deep Waters lived inside a human body, irritation was sometimes inescapable.įords is not the only Soul living inside a human body. When one of her own kind starts to become over-intrusive in her life she flees, and enters a world she could never have imagined, no matter what she'd learned in her previous incarnations. She finds herself struggling with the emotions and passions of the human mind that should no longer exist.

Characters tend to speak in ways that skirt around issues rather than addressing them directly, a concept known as subtext. In opposition to much of the melodramatic theatre of the 19th century, lurid actions (such as Treplyov's suicide attempts) are kept offstage. Like the rest of Chekhov's full-length plays, The Seagull relies upon an ensemble cast of diverse, fully developed characters. It centres on the romantic and artistic conflicts between four theatrical the ingenue Nina, the fading leading lady Irina Arkadina, her son the experimental playwright Konstantin Treplyov, and the famous middlebrow story writer Trigorin. Translated by Julius West The Seagull ( "Chayka"), written in 1895, is the first of what are generally considered to be Anton Chekhov's four major plays. ![]() ![]() ![]() Our returns policy does not affect your statutory rights.
