There were times I wanted to smack them both because, despite their promises of total honesty, they still held back and kept secrets - which naturally led to problems. Evelyn has family issues and David has his own demons, but despite their differences they seem to be each other's anchor. and plenty of sexytimes (that part they've got down with no problem). (Then again, if they got the annulment there wouldn't be much of a story, would there?) There are misunderstandings, communication issues, trust issues. There's a big element of suspension of disbelief here because instead of getting a quickie annulment as you would expect, Evelyn and David decide to live together and stay married. What follows is the story of two people getting to know each other. Too bad the severely hungover Evelyn doesn't remember any of it. And the tattooed rock star next to her telling her they're married. Evelyn celebrates her 21st birthday in Vegas and wakes up next to a stranger. ![]() 5/23/2023 0 Comments Goodreads rendezvous with rama![]() ![]() Villeneuve’s work has often been likened to that of Kubrick, particularly his interest in more cerebral sci-fi such as “Arrival.

So, although I’ve known for about 2 weeks, I’ve spent those 2 weeks handing my notice in at Cumbria Music Service, telling my schools and the staff that I work with, and then finally, telling the 300 odd children that I teach.

My main news this week is I’ve been awarded full funding for 3 years from Manchester Metropolitan University to do a PhD in Poetry.

In their exaggerated portrayals of a fictional future, they offer us a vantage point from which to better apprehend the true nature of our time. ![]() I tend also to assume that stories of this sort aren’t really about the future so much as they are a provocation to consider elements of our present condition. Rather, it is for the story to become an inducement to thought and reflection. The point, of course, is not simply to take a dystopian view of our situation. Today, in the midst of a crisis that has accelerated and deepened our dependence on digital media, it seems all the more relevant and the exaggerated quality less pronounced, if only because of the drastic measures we’ve been forced to take to curb the spread of COVID-19.
