![]() ![]() We Protestants must sooner or later face this question: Are we to understand the ‘imitation of Christ’ in the sense that we should copy his life and, if I may use the expression, ape his stigmata: or in the deeper sense that we are to live our own proper lives as truly as he lived his in all its implications? It is no easy matter to live a life that is modelled on Christ’s, but it is unspeakably harder to live one’s own life as truly as Christ lived his. My central argument turns on a long quotation from Jung’s Modern Man in Search of a Soul (which would have made a good subtitle for the novel) and which Moorcock includes within his text (along with many other explicit allusions to Jung): ![]() The title not only quotes Pilate’s words from St John’s gospel but alludes to Nietzsche’s autobiographical work Ecce Homo and the book is a challenging exploration of the ‘truth’ of Christianity, using ideas from Nietzsche, Freud and Jung as part of a classic SF time-travel-loop paradox. Behold the Man was one of the finest stories ever published in New Worlds, winning a Nebula Award and later being expanded into a full-length novel, but it has never (in either of its versions) had the critical attention given to Ballard’s equally ground-breaking stories, though it shares their pattern of an ambiguous psychological quest. New Worlds 166 (September 1966) was a particularly strong issue, including the novella-length version of Moorcock’s Behold the Man, Ballard’s ‘The Atrocity Exhibition’, and stories by Brian Aldiss and Thomas M. ![]()

I almost threw a fit when (this happens in the first quarter, so I'm not going to spoiler-tag it) it becomes clear that something is wrong with his children and he's all "I'm such a bad father, I'd better make sure I keep my distance.

Sisters releases on August 26th in the US, but if you don't have your hands on this book yet, there's Smile and Drama to fall in love with. Even newbie comic book readers will enjoy the clear beautiful art, the humor lacing the book, and the sibling wars. If you haven't read any of Telgemeier's books, you are missing a whole lot. These flashbacks were quite adorable to read - they did get along a lot better when they were very little, only to have sporadic fights now and then, and later full-blown arguments over everything. The narration of the road trip is interspersed with a lot of flashback, starting with toddler Raina's deepest wish to have a baby sister only to be very disappointed by how long it would take the baby Amara to be old enough to play with her and how often the baby bawled. then I randomly found them on my bookshelf fyp smilebook smile sisters sistersbook. ![]() Amara is at an age where all that pretty business is a bucket load of crap.
