![]() ![]() Gruenwald and Americop co-creator, penciller Dave Hoover’s unknown personal politics aside, Fighting Chances suggests a very earnest concern about social instability in America. Yes, the concern was very much on people’s minds at the time of Americop’s civilian-murdering antics in the pages of Captain America. He states, “From these numbers, it is clear that the federal government is not making the slightest dent in the problem of police brutality.” Davis introduces the statistics of officer assault cases filed between 19: 86, an incomplete number due to the rarity of reportage. The same year Americop arrived, Peter L Davis, an Associate Professor of Law at Touro College, published the alarmingly titled paper “ Rodney King and the Decriminalization of Police Brutality in America” in the Maryland Law Review. The Rodney King beating in 1991 was excruciatingly fresh in everyone’s mind by Americop’s June 1994 debut. Though we wouldn’t want to read today’s political landscape into the thirty-year-old work of a now-deceased writer, it is important to note that police brutality was in the media heavily even then. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sentimental Education intertwines the personal, the intimate, and the subjective with the political, social, and cultural, embedding Frédéric’s story in the larger arc of what Flaubert saw as France’s decline into mediocrity and imbecility in its politics and manners. MacKenzie includes an extensive critical introduction and annotations to help the modern reader appreciate Flaubert’s achievement. This vibrant, new translation by Raymond N. Suffused with tragedy and the poignancy of lost chances and wasted lives, Sentimental Education is sharpened by satirical observations of what Flaubert condemned as the Second Empire’s endemic hypocrisy and willful blindness. Flaubert’s narrative includes scenes of high drama, as scattered protests across Paris swell into revolution, and quiet moments of self-aware romanticism, crafting a story that possesses the sweep and scope of a historical novel combined with deep emotion and scandalous intimacy. ![]() The novel’s protagonist, Frédéric Moreau, alternates between aimlessness and ambition as he searches for a meaningful life through love affairs and republican politics. ![]() Published a few months before the start of the 1870 Franco–Prussian War, it offers both a sweeping panorama of French society over three decades and an intimate bildungsroman of a young man from a small town who arrives in Paris when protests against the monarchy are increasing. Gustave Flaubert conceived Sentimental Education, his final complete novel, as the history of his own generation, one that failed to fulfill the promise of the Revolution of 1848. Sentimental Education combines thoroughgoing irony with an impartial but unexpectedly intense sympathy in a novel whose realism competes with that of Balzac and whose innovations in narrative plot and perspective mark a turning-point in the development of literary modernism. ![]() ![]() Shira writes what she loves, be it contemporary musicians, shifter mermen, or time-traveling vampires.

Carrie’s mother Tipper is the uber-hostess and serves “nibbles” of lobster rolls for Happy Hour and Dad serves underaged teens alcoholic drinks. It’s pretty intoxicating for the reader, especially the young reader, to read about these ultra-rich people and how they live, boating hours to the mainland to shop, having everything you never knew needed, at their fingertips. ![]() The island is big enough that there are several beaches, several docks, and four houses, one for the caretaker and servant.
