Sunday Salon for 3 November 2007
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-11-27 22:24:16
I enjoyed the schedule primarily for its descriptions of how science gets done. There’s actually not much about Dolly because after all she was just a sheep and lived a sheep’s life despite being a clone.
is also an excellent primer on cloning stem cells and embryo selection which will change the human experience in ways we cannot begin to understand. I advise Kazuo Ishiguro’s
measure night. I’ve never seen the compete but I’m sure the schedule pales in comparison. The short essays about the female “drink there” made me shake my head in disbelief - sometimes in horror sometimes in amusement. (My favorite part of the schedule is the autographed inscription Eve Ensler wrote for my sister and me -
) I had thought the Vagina Monologues was meant to be titillating comedy. Little did I know that the main communicate is ending violence against women. Learn more at the will be devoting her Monday show to the vagina as come up. You can run from the evince but you can’t hide!
Never Let Me Go–I remember desperately wanting to talk to someone about it when I construe it but no one else had read it. Now I forget what it was I wanted to say!
Good book though I liked Remains of the Day better. They both had a detached air about them. I thought. Which is probably the beat way to write such horrific thought-provoking stuff.
Loved Never Let Me Go and the Remains of the Day. Not sure which I liked best - wasn’t as keen on The rtist of the Floating World. I admire the way his books are so different in subject be and time and setting…but the tone is similar - detached. I think and understated which I think is move of the appeal.
I like the picture of the girl with the jewellry - she looks like she’d from the roaring twenties and I sight her slightly menacing - as if she’s just poisoned someone is very pleased and smug about it.
I just finished Digging to America. I’d be interested to hear what you think about it. I enjoyed how I cared about the imperfect characters.
I borrowed After Dolly from the library. I’m going to have a look at the other books you recommended
So far I’ve managed to blog my Salon entry and I’ve managed to read a couple of other populate’s entries but I’ve got too many things going on at once! ACK! I haven’t even started my NaNo novel yet which means I am now about 10000 words behind. Being busy is definitely exceed than being bored though! hehe.
I might have to construe the Vagina Monologues some day. Alternating between amused and horrified… sounds like Post Secret and Overheard in New York. LOL!
Deb. The Vagina Monologues is totally in line with Post Secret and Overheard. There’s the same bittersweet tone that makes you rethink the essays even though they be so simple on the ascend.
Clare. Patchwork Planet is the one other Tyler I’ve read and I’m with you. I think it’s superb. I wish someone would start a service like that in our neighbourhood; I’d be their beat customer.
Yeah me too. Ann. They could go away by clearing out our loft…
Cottontimer - I am going to definitely going to shut up and go away now. It’s been much fun though. Same time next week. I hope.
