![]() She accomplished this by injecting a lot of humor, and with Law and Anders' therapist calling bullshit on the destructive thoughts, brought to the surface by Anders' constant inner voice, when such tough love was very much needed.Īnother thing that allowed me to enjoy this story more than your typical angsty, mental health tale was the limited number of major setbacks that Anders had after moving in with Brody. ![]() And that's about the furthest thing from a fun read, IMHO.īut in this story, although being inside Anders' damaged head was very often turbulent and irrational, Eden kept his wallowing in self-pity to as much of a minimum as the subject matter would allow. They tend to be emotionally draining, especially when an MC's issues force a sudden, often long separation, leaving the other MC completely gutted in the process. My friends already know that stories centered around mental health issues are faaaaar from my favorite trope. Gah! With everything that Anders had gone through in the past, this book was completely heartbreaking, but still remained mostly full of hope. ![]() ![]() ![]() Did Aziz attempt to rape Adela?

Dark Emu has since inspired a children’s book and a stage play, and is being taught in Australian schools.īut Pascoe’s scholarship is shoddy. ![]() The book sold a quarter of a million copies and attracted some of Australia’s most prestigious literary awards, including Book of the Year and the Indigenous Writers’ Prize in the NSW Premier’s Literary Awards, and the Victorian Premier’s Literary Award for Indigenous Writing. Dark Emu even claimed that this history goes back 120,000 years - twice that of current scholarship. Pascoe’s book asserted that before European colonisation, Aboriginal communities were not ‘hunter-gatherers’ but used complex farming practices, baked bread, built houses, lived in large settlements and invented democracy. Written by Bruce Pascoe in 2014, Dark Emu claimed to recover a forgotten history of Indigenous Australia. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The punctum is a detail, a supplement that can fill the whole photo with meaning, that has a force of expansion). It is chance in a photograph that points at us, bruises us, grips us. The punctum, the most important in a photograph (when it exists), breaks the studium from the scene like an arrow, a sting, a wound, a punctuation. In this type of photography we find the photos of reports (which shock, which shout but do not hurt), and the pornographic photos (which present only one thing: sex). These photographs are then banal, naive, without intentions. If the studium is not crossed by something else (we will see the punctum), it generates a very widespread type of photography: the unary photography (only one sequence is generated by the base). ![]() ![]() The interest in a photo that has only the studium comes from a moral and political culture, it is an average affect, a general investment only. The studium: it corresponds to an expanse, similar to a field and refers to a classical information. These two contradictory elements are, The studium and The punctum. With the photo of the soldiers and nuns in Nicaragua, Barthes realizes that it is the duality between two elements that makes him appreciate this or that photo: it is the photo as an adventure.

Sure I’ve seen a few black and white images of him posted online, and the sketches in those occasional autobiographical shorts that pop up in his comics from time to time, and his regular graphic column for the libertarian magazine Reason, but the picture in my mind is something like Buddy Bradley with shorter hair, a clearer complexion, and calloused hands and a hunched back from decades spent leaning over drawing boards in various Seattle and east coast studios.
