![]() The first comes in 1984 in New Teen Titans Vol 1 #39 when Dick quits being Robin. I think there’s actually… three? official canon explanations for this. I’m just bringing this up so you know that some people in the comic fandom side-eye it. ![]() ![]() Either way, it’s totally your call what you want to run with as canon, and I don’t mind providing the alternative. Since then… I’ve kind of come to disregard that scene as canon personally and think of it as more of an AU thing (actually I use Nightwing: Year One as my canon for the Teen Titans Animated universe… but that’s a completely different story). At the same time, I have a soft spot for it because Nightwing #101 was the first comic I ever owned, so it was the first canon I ever knew. ![]() They’re both pretty OOC, and it’s probably my least favorite thing that Dixon and Beatty have ever written for that reason. Nightwing: Year One is honestly pretty weird when it comes to Jason and Bruce. ![]()

![]() ![]() "Toad" relates the suffering created by hundreds of thousands of returning refugees, and stories from the 1950s confront the catastrophes of the Korean War and the problematic desire for autonomy. Written during the chaos of 1945, "Booze" recounts a fight between Koreans for control of a former Japanese-owned distillery. Surrealist tales suggest the unsettling sensation of colonial domination, while stories of the outcast embody the thrill and terror of independence and survival in a land dominated by tradition and devastated by war. Modernist narratives set in the metropolises of Tokyo and Pyongyang alternate with starkly realistic portraits of rural life. Lost Souls echoes the exceptional work of China's Shen Congwen and Japan's Kawabata Yasunari. ![]() These captivating short stories portray three major periods in modern Korean history: the forces of colonial modernity during the late 1930s the postcolonial struggle to rebuild society after four decades of oppression, emasculation, and cultural exile (1945 to 1950) and the attempt to reconstruct a shattered land and a traumatized nation after the Korean War. ![]() ![]() Just another adventure that really didn't MEAN much. This isn't the same writing I got when I read the first Mercy Thompson novel ( Moon Called), and aside from the fear that Patricia Briggs is relying too much on the readers' knowledge of previous books to really let the world shine in this particular one, I worry on a bigger level that she's writing too much, too fast. ![]() ![]() Yes, Patricia Briggs fans are going to want to read this, but I'm starting to suspect/worry that the quality in Briggs's work is slipping and sliding downhill. Nothing of consequence happens, and that's partially due to the nature of the plot that I'm still trying to work out, because the said premise felt so completely unnecessary, and without said premise, there'd be no book. ![]() Give it Away: I say this because it's such a completely forgettable book.

I am not a big fan of biographies or autobiographies, and the thing closest to knowing Gandhiji‘s real life, I have read so far is Mahatma vs Gandhi. Gandhi, which was first published serially in ‘Young India’, written by Gandhiji in Gujrati, translated into English by Mahadev Desai. For the uninitiated I am talking about ‘The Story of My Experiments with Truth:An Autobiography’ by M.K. Luckily, I had one such book lying in my bookshelf for months now, and at last I picked it up, snugging next to my pillow, to decipher the real world charm. And what better way to understand the real history than studying the autobiography of someone who lived in blood and flesh during the troubled times. So, I thought why not leave aside fiction for a moment and instead concentrate on the reality. ![]() ![]() Perhaps it is far removed from the reality, or at least poetic license had made the stories far more wretched than actually they were in bad times in India, before and after partition. Politics indeed seemed a dirty world, out to make lives of common people miserable and hammer out their small joys.īut, then I realized that whatever I had read is probably just fiction or at the most faction i.e. Tears welled up in my eyes, as I read about the devastated lives of tailors during emergency in ‘A Fine Balance’ and about the peaks and valleys dented by partition and politics in Baksh’s life in ‘A Long Walk Home’. ![]() ![]() ![]() The phrase Vote for Pedro, and the dance that accompanied it, became a cultural touchstone that has earned many tributes and spoofs.īased on the movie’s popularity, the phrase Vote for Pedro was commercialized in the form of millions of t-shirts, hats, buttons, coffee mugs, cell-phone cases, bumper stickers, and so on, which are still sold today. With Pedro seemingly on the verge of losing, his loyal friend Napoleon (wearing a Vote for Pedro shirt) jumps onto the stage and does an elaborate dance routine, which earns a standing ovation and results in Pedro winning the vote.įew could have predicted that the offbeat film would end up being a sensation, especially beloved by the millennial generation who were around Pedro’s age when the film was released. In climax of the film, the candidates perform a “skit” before the entire school. ![]() Napoleon helps his campaign by making t-shirts and flyers that say “Vote for Pedro.” One of the many storylines in the film involves Pedro running for class president. The quirky 2004 independent film Napoleon Dynamite stars Jon Heder as Napoleon, an awkward teenager who befriends another shy outcast named Pedro Sánchez, played by Efren Ramirez. ![]() |
