![]() ![]() He is a career criminal trying to work his way up the ladder and he sees getting close to Joker as the perfect opportunity to become number one, or at least number two, which is better than nothing. Jonny is a typical lowlife, fighting his wife over divorce papers and the kids, trying to make ends meet through petty crime. When the Joker is released from Arkham Asylum, much to everyone’s confusion, no one can decide who should go and pick him up. The man we see here is nasty, insane, without any redeeming features, and is not a person people will be quick to quote or put on a t-shirt. (In fact, a lot of people have drawn comparisons between the Joker here, and Heath Ledger’s iconic portrayal). But unlike White Knight, this story seems more like a criticism of the culture that’s been built up around him, especially since the release of The Dark Knight. Like that story, Joker aims to explain why Batman’s greatest foe is how he is. ![]() Like White Knight, Joker turns the spotlight on Gotham’s clown prince of crime. ![]() ![]() ![]() Historical setting and detail is exquisite – you are in the hands of a true storyteller. New York of the Gilded Age and the big newspapers magnates such as Hearst is another treat. Cuba is often seen as being stuck in a time warp and exploring Havana and the infamous Recogidas prison where Evangelina was actually imprisoned was amazing. In BookTrail terms, the true story and the fictional creates a series of locations that are fascinating across time. ![]() Add to that the story of a Cuban revolutionary and you have quite the meaty novel. This period of history, the Gilded Age, brought a whole set of changes, and a bigger divide between rich and poor. This then becomes a story it itself how the newspapers of the time were trying to grab readers in new ways. Not surprisingly, most of them exaggerated events. They fought over the best lead, the best angle. Things became interesting when US newspapers picked up the story.

The story starts in New York but soon travels to Cuba to discover the amazing true story of Evangelina Cisneros. Chanel Cleeton knows and loves history and Cuban history at that so her novels are a treat to read.! ![]() What a fascinating read! You don’t have to have read the others in the Cuba series by this author but I’d strongly recommend it.

I still will look at the cover first and form an opinion of the book as a whole. Even when it’s a Stephen King book and I KNOW I’m going to buy it and read it and, most likely, enjoy it. I know I’m not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but I have to admit I do.

Switched On Pop’s four part-mini series Listening 2: Daft Punk unlocks the sounds, voices, and stories across all four of the group’s studio albums. The world-beating smash “Get Lucky” broke streaming records, forged a retro sound that still dominates the charts, and paved the way for artists like The Weeknd, Dua Lipa and Lizzo to craft their own throwback hits. Ten years ago, Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories gave life back to music. On their second album Discovery, Daft Punk fully lean into the artificial – singing through robotic vocoders that correspond with their now-iconic robot helmets.īut in there is a paradox, explored on episode 2 of Listening to Daft Punk: the more machine the robots become, the more human the music sounds.īarry Manilow - Who's Been Sleeping In My Bedĭaft Punk, Pharrell Williams - LYTD (Vocoder Tests) Daft Punk’s first album laid the groundwork for their robot personas, with four to the floor beats, programmed drum machines, and sequenced synthesizers. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A remarkable and unique artifact from the publishing history and hand of one of the most reclusive authors in twentieth century literature.

It is only when Jess skims through the book that she finds a shocking connection between her own family and this once-infamous crime – a crime that has never been resolved satisfactorily. In Nora’s bedroom, she discovers a true crime book, chronicling the police investigation into a long-buried tragedy: the Turner Family Tragedy of Christmas Eve, 1959. When Jess visits her in the hospital she is alarmed to find her grandmother frail and confused it’s even more alarming to hear from Nora’s housekeeper that Nora had been distracted in the weeks before her accident, and that she fell on the steps to the attic – the one place Jess was forbidden from playing when she was small.Īt a loose end in Nora’s house, Jess does some digging of her own. Nora has always been a vibrant and strong presence: decisive, encouraging, young beyond her years. ![]() A phone call out of nowhere summons her back to Sydney, where her beloved grandmother, Nora, who raised Jess when her mother could not, has suffered a fall and been raced to the hospital.
