In serving the wealthy power brokers of New York society, Frank Tripp has finally gained the respectability and security his own upbringing lacked. When I’d reached my first stop, I was raved to the friend that I visited about the book that I was listening to, telling her to go and buy the thing, even though I was only maybe two or three hours into the story. I spent a good bit of that time (the whole recording is 7 hours and 21 minutes) in Restoration London with an apothecary’s apprentice and his best friend, the baker’s son, Tom. The first leg of my trip was 4 hours to the first stop and another 6 hours to the second stop. Then I went on a road trip, and having recently been reintroduced to audiobooks by a friend who started me on Huck Finn, I decided to go to the local library and see what audiobooks I might be able to bring with me to make the hours pass-and I found this book. Then when I got home I remembered that I had a sample of the book, and read the first two chapters through, and debated more seriously still purchasing the paperback. One that had me reading the paperback of this book-newly out-as I walked it back to its place in the store. Kevin Sands’ The Blackthorn Key, starts with the words “Let’s build a canon.” A promising beginning. If you're looking for where to start in the Hemingway canon, know that you can't really go wrong. (For a man who wrote that he gets over writer's block by sitting down and writing the truest sentence that you know," this isn't altogether surprising.) The opening line of the book that helped him win the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature, " The Old Man and the Sea," reads as a status report: "He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish." Nicknamed the "iceberg theory" by Hemingway, much of his novels' meatiness (their nuances, their themes) lies looming beneath the surface. When you think of Ernest Hemingway - journalist, novelist, bullfighting aficionado - you probably think of the lean, understated prose that defines many American classics. Was that full immersion an exhilarating experience? A stressful one? In the interview ahead, Buhler explains that strategy, outlines the bold science-fiction storytelling he hopes to explore, the ways in which Martin inspired the adaptation and much more.īoth as a universe and as a production, Nightflyers must be an all-consuming endeavor. 13, a release strategy that hybridizes weekly viewing with the streaming service era’s bingeing habits. The violent conclusion will be known in short order, too, as Syfy plans to air all 10 episodes of Nightflyers‘ first season by Dec. The danger is front and center within the first minutes of the blood-filled season premiere, which bowed Sunday on Syfy. For executive producer and showrunner Jeff Buhler, the television version of Nightflyers aims to barrel headlong into those worlds, beginning with what he hopes is the first of multiple seasons inspired by Martin’s dangerous storytelling sensibilities. Martin’s original Nightflyers tale, which was adapted as a feature film in 1987, was one of several stories set in what he’s described as “The Thousand Worlds” universe.

Life in Hollywood wasn't a good fit, however, and it wasn't long before Lightfoot returned to Canada.

The trip was funded in part by money saved from a job delivering linens to resorts around his hometown. Attempts to sell the song went nowhere so at 18, he headed to the U.S. After taking the class again, he graduated in 1957.īy then, Lightfoot had already penned his first serious composition - "The Hula Hoop Song," inspired by the popular kids' toy that was sweeping the culture. Perhaps distracted by his taste for music, he flunked algebra the first time. He strummed his first guitar in 1956 and began to dabble in songwriting in the months that followed. The appeal of those early days stuck and in high school, his barbershop quartet, The Collegiate Four, won a CBC talent competition. "I remember the thrill of being in front of the crowd," Lightfoot said in a 2018 interview. At age 13, the soprano won a talent contest at the Kiwanis Music Festival, held at Toronto's Massey Hall. He began singing in his church choir and dreamed of becoming a jazz musician. While Lightfoot's parents recognized his musical talents early on, he didn't set out to become a renowned balladeer. |
