Mario Vargas Llosa, novelist, Peruvian, is a word painter, an artist of consummate skill, capable of simultaneous intimate ecstasy and detached observation, skill that constantly surprises, titillates and intensifies. Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter is a novel that details how an eighteen year old writer of hack news stories develops relationships with his aunt and, yes, a scriptwriter, both of whom happen to be Bolivian. Auth Julia is an aunt by definable and identifiable, but non-bloodline association. At least there is still some decency! She is a divorce, not a Peruvian what would you expect, then? and attractive to boot. She is also conquerable. She is a passionate older woman old enough to be his mother!

The Abstract Expressionism Movement, also called the New York School was exclusively an American Abstract Art movement that mainstreamed in New York City in the period following the Second World War. This movement was significant in the sense that it was the earliest American movement to declare non-dependence on European styles and to get a sway all over the globe. It also enabled New York City to replace Paris as the art hub. Prior to its reference to American art, “abstract expressionism” was a term used in the Berlin periodical named ‘Der Sturm’, in 1919.

Who would choose who ? What would you do with the perfect love ? What is the perfect love ? Does anyone really know it well enough to even say ?

If you were said to be the perfect love, “Would you try and even lie, to make the other one happy, who came to believe it ? “Love has everlasting questions, and everlasting answers”.

Love is so real, that it’s beyond our understanding, in it’s everlasting fullness of life, and beyond everything that is or isn’t as of yet, to us.

Wouldn’t you feel evil in a way, should everyone be said to love only you, and all at once, never to love anyone else again. Would you be willing to take in this much so called love, and not feel evil, in anyway ? (Read the full post about ‘Love That Pleased Everyone !’…)

In After These things Jenny Diski accomplishes an almost impossible task. She starts with a well known story, and thus a plot ready declared, a story that claims history and yet is probably myth. She reworks it, gives shape, form and thought to characters we think we might already know, and then puts words in their mouths. She finally presents the whole as an original work, a novel of deception, love and the intricacies of family life in a culture now perceived as alien. And she succeeds brilliantly, creating a new experience in a new world for the reader within a familiarity that her approach reinterprets.

After These Things is born of the Old Testament. (Read the full post about ‘After These Things by Jenny Diski’…)

In moments like this when the economy is bad, developing a personal budget plan is a sure way to safeguard your own personal future. It’s amazing though that most people prefer to spend and save as the day come and go.

One great tool you can learn to use, so that this becomes a more pleasant and professional task to do is to make use of a spreadsheet. (Read the full post about ‘Developing a Personal Budget Plan’…)

Enlarge Image Judging by the number of websites and brick and mortar stores dedicated to scrapbooking, this hobby is now a trend. The activity spreading out and expanding its horizons is obviously pointing to its growing popularity.

A journal or notebook is an account of events, while a scrapbook is the same thing with visual impact. In ancient Greece scrapbooking was first practiced, so it isn’t a new creation. It has been around for centuries. (Read the full post about ‘Scrapbook Stickers’…)
