As we remember how these two enriched our shared popular culture, I personally think of Fisher as a strong woman who lent a sense of humor and grace to her battles with addiction and mental illness. And she wasn’t just a quick-witted actress and celebrity - she was also a hilarious writer, authoring both memoirs and fiction. Pictured above are Fisher and her beloved service dog, Gary.</p> <p><a href="http://thomascranelibrary.org/blog-tags/blog/remembering-carrie-fisher-and-george-michael" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://thomascranelibrary.org/blog-tags/blog/remembering-carrie-fisher-and-george-michael#comments American authors Books Wed, 28 Dec 2016 19:18:49 +0000 eileenf 1427 at http://thomascranelibrary.org Killing and Dying by Adrian Tomine http://thomascranelibrary.org/blog-tags/blog/killing-and-dying-adrian-tomine <div class="field field-type-content-taxonomy field-field-blog-type-taxonomy"> <div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> graphic novel </div> <div class="field-item even"> Books </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-parent-section"> <div class="field-label">Parent Section:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Books </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-blogpost-picture"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <img class="imagefield imagefield-field_blogpost_picture" width="91" height="130" alt="" src="http://thomascranelibrary.org/sites/default/files/blogs/images/tomine-killing.jpg?1480431348" /> </div> </div> </div> <p>The tales told in this graphic novel area about as far from flying super heroes as you can get. A regular contributor to the New Yorker, a magazine he has created more than a dozen covers for, Tomine has collected six stories in this book. Using a variety of artistic techniques, multiple perspectives are explored, from a middle-aged guy trying to define himself beyond his landscaping job, to a college-aged woman with an uncanny resemblance to a porn star. These are not New Yorker cartoons. Some parts are funny but others are quite dramatic.</p> <p><a href="http://thomascranelibrary.org/blog-tags/blog/killing-and-dying-adrian-tomine" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://thomascranelibrary.org/blog-tags/blog/killing-and-dying-adrian-tomine#comments Books graphic novel Tue, 29 Nov 2016 14:57:10 +0000 claytonc 1419 at http://thomascranelibrary.org RIP William Trevor http://thomascranelibrary.org/blog-tags/blog/rip-william-trevor <div class="field field-type-content-taxonomy field-field-blog-type-taxonomy"> <div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> British </div> <div class="field-item even"> authors </div> <div class="field-item odd"> Books </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-parent-section"> <div class="field-label">Parent Section:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Books </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-blogpost-picture"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <img class="imagefield imagefield-field_blogpost_picture" width="142" height="130" alt="" src="http://thomascranelibrary.org/sites/default/files/blogs/images/trevor.jpg?1479911381" /> </div> </div> </div> <p>Irish writer <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/21/books/william-trevor-dead.html?_r=0" target="_blank">William Trevor</a> died this earlier this week at the age of 88. Trevor explored his characters—and their often unfortunate fates—with great compassion, limning the contours of human loneliness and sadness. Many of his short stories and novels are set in his native Ireland, some contemporary and some historical. Others are set in England, where he lived for most of his adult life.</p> <p><a href="http://thomascranelibrary.org/blog-tags/blog/rip-william-trevor" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://thomascranelibrary.org/blog-tags/blog/rip-william-trevor#comments authors Books British Wed, 23 Nov 2016 14:51:01 +0000 megana 1417 at http://thomascranelibrary.org Pre-Election Fact Checking http://thomascranelibrary.org/blog-tags/blog/pre-election-fact-checking <div class="field field-type-content-taxonomy field-field-blog-type-taxonomy"> <div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> events </div> <div class="field-item even"> Books </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-parent-section"> <div class="field-label">Parent Section:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Books </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-blogpost-picture"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <img class="imagefield imagefield-field_blogpost_picture" width="130" height="75" alt="" src="http://thomascranelibrary.org/sites/default/files/blogs/images/fact-375x215.png.png?1478288492" /> </div> </div> </div> <p>Unless you've been living under a rock the last several months, you know that this coming Tuesday is Election Day.

This is the second novel by Anthony Horowitz to get Arthur Conan Doyle’s estate’s approval and the plot and writing style definitely fit in well with the established Holmes canon. While Holmes and Watson do not make appearances in this one, that’s okay - we have a couple of stand-ins who fill in quite nicely. The mystery itself is exciting, each action-packed encounter with the bad guys artfully builds up to the surprising climax.</p> <p><a href="http://thomascranelibrary.org/blog-tags/blog/moriarty-anthony-horowitz" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://thomascranelibrary.org/blog-tags/blog/moriarty-anthony-horowitz#comments Books crime/suspense fiction Thu, 20 Oct 2016 19:18:04 +0000 eileenf 1413 at http://thomascranelibrary.org
