not mess up her sister’s big fat Indian wedding. Now, all she has to do is to wow the judges for a top spot, evade getting caught by her parents, resist Naveen’s charms, and, oh yeah. Luckily Zuri has a crew of loud and loyal female cousins cheering her on. In the midst of the chaos, Zuri’s mom is in matchmaking mode with the groom’s South African cousin Naveen-who just happens to be a cocky vocalist set on stealing Zuri’s spotlight at the scouting competition. And Zuri has already been warned, repeatedly, that she is not to miss a single moment. The only problem? This coveted competition happens to take place during Zuri’s sister’s extravagant wedding week. After being rejected by Juilliard, Zuri's last hope is a contest judged by a panel of top tier college scouts. But when you’re part of a big Indian family, everyone has expectations, and those certainly don’t include hip hop violin. Zurika Damani is a naturally gifted violinist with a particular love for hip hop beats. A fresh, witty rom-com romp set against the backdrop of a high-profile music competition and a riotous Indian wedding

Gaiman is one of the better authors of fantasy and otherworlds going right now so anytime he steps into the comic book realm it is something to look forward to. The Eternals are what our Gods once were and the tales told of them and their home ring true in this retelling. With great artwork by John Romita Jr., Gaiman spins a tail of great power and of a race of heroes that have fallen into mythology. Their sworn enemies, the Deviants are also sensing that there is a great threat looming. But the Eternals do not answer to humanity and they know something else is happening. It is the time of the Civil War between super powered beings on Earth and the Avengers are the ultimate in security and force. What power took their memories and what is happening now. The Eternals are awakening, but why have they little memory of who they were and why they suddenly stopped being the protectors of the world they once were. That Mark is thousand of years old, an Eternal, created by god-like beings called Celestials. That Mark is someone more powerful than he could know. Nightmares he thinks until a man approaches him and hints that his dreams are far from fiction. Medical student Mark Curry is trying to catch a little rest between rounds, but his dreams are filled with creatures and other worldly beings. Eternals by Neil Gaiman is a revision of the characters and original tales by Jack the King Kirby and with the upcoming MCU adaptation coming up, this volume is a great way to familiarize yourself with these characters.

Subterranean.” The usual stuff of rock dramas-the ego clashes, the drugs, the hangers-on, and record-company parasites-is all there, but Mitchell, who wasn’t born when Utopia Avenue’s putative first album was released, knows exactly which real-life musicians to seed into the story: There’s Gene Clark of The Byrds, for example, who admires a guitar figure of Jasper’s (“So that’s an F major seventh?…I call it ‘F Demented’ ”). Mostly, though, we’re on realistic ground not seen since Black Swan Green (2006), and Mitchell digs deep in his saga of how two top-of-their-form players-de Zoet and ill-fated bassist Dean Moss-recruit an unlikely keyboardist and singer in the form of an ethereal folkie named Elf Holloway, who goes electric and joins them in a band that Jasper deems “Pavonine….Magpie-minded. Oh, there are a couple of winking references to Cloud Atlas (2004), which here takes the form of “overlapping solos for piano, clarinet, cello, flute, oboe and violin,” and ace rock ’n’ roll guitarist Jasper de Zoet is eventually revealed to descend from the eponymous hero of The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet (2010). There’s no time-hopping, apart from a brief epilogue set in the present, or elegant experiments in genre-busting in Mitchell’s latest novel, his first since Slade House (2015).

He is the author of six books, including The Daily Stoic and most recently Conspiracy: Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan, Gawker and the Anatomy of Intrigue. With his unique perspective and exclusive access to all the key players, Ryan Holiday transforms these events into both a dissection of that controversial word and methodology – conspiracy – and an eye-opening cautionary tale on the use, abuse and consequences of power and secrecy in the modern age. This week, we sit down with writer and media strategist Ryan Holiday who is the former director of marketing for now bankrupted and controversial manufacturer American Apparel. It had been one of the most covered and surreal legal cases in history and no one had suspected a thing. These two seemingly unrelated events were in fact the bookends of a nearly decade-long plot masterminded by Thiel, for both obvious and non-obvious reasons. In 2016, Gawker was forced to declare bankruptcy after a $140 million dollar judgment in a Florida court over an illegally recorded sex tape of Hulk Hogan with his best friend’s wife. In 2007, a short blog post on Valleywag, the Silicon Valley vertical of Gawker Media, outed the enigmatic Facebook and PayPal billionaire Peter Thiel as gay. And of the few that do exist, fewer are ever discovered, let alone explained. Title: Conspiracy: Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan, Gawker & the anatomy of intrigueĬonspiracy theories are legion. |
