1/3/2024 0 Comments White pages new york granados![]() I started writing the book when I was twenty-two and I finished it when I was twenty-five. I never thought about it a coming-of-age novel until I saw that’s how Google has been categorizing it. Knowing that you wrote a lot of Happy Hour during your own early twenties, I’m curious about how you feel about female coming-of-age stories now? In previous interviews, you’ve spoken about the ways that cultural portraits of young women’s relationships to glamour, fashion, and other forms of pleasure are often prejudged or characterized. A lot of people have said the book has been a nice, bright spot for them during the pandemic, and that is so touching for me. I appreciate that people are thinking about the characters as friends or living vicariously through them. Isa and Gala exist very actively in the world they’re always going to bars, parties, and visiting friends! Have you heard about any readers living vicariously through the book, or maybe even experiencing jealousy of the characters’ freedoms? A person should never take on a city with an empty stomach, and I am always hungry.” Granados presently resides in Toronto recently, we spoke via Zoom about releasing a debut during a global pandemic and about complex, modern protagonists who can have their cake and laugh about it, too. Before landing at JFK, I had three Bloody Marys and an extra piece of cake that fell apart in my mouth. Happy Hour begins with the auspicious: “My mother always told me that to be a girl one must be especially clever. The young women do experience challenges-and in the second half of the book, the reader learns more about hardships from Isa’s past-but, as Granados has commented in previous conversations, Happy Hour is unique for portraying young women having fun without looming threats of moral or mortal punishment. Whereas cultural portraits of young people cavorting and occasionally being humbled by life in the Big Apple have tended to the focus on characters with inherited wealth- Gossip Girl, Whit Stillman’s Metropolitanand The Last Days of Disco, and even Catcher in the Ryecome to mind-Isa and Gala get by on a delicious admixture of luck, pluck, and social intuition. They party with celebrities and artists, start bar fights, endear strangers, and receive invitations to the Hamptons. Propelled by curiosity, social savvy, and a wicked sense of humor, Isa, who narrates in the first person, and her best friend Gala dabble in ad-hoc gigs as market vintage sellers, models, and audience members for a pre-taped television show. ![]()

1/3/2024 0 Comments Gorey flamingo painting![]() ![]() But they can also be tricky they’ve been done–and done well–SO MANY TIMES that they can seem exhausted. Approaching fairy-tale re-tellings can be wonderful they’re well-known and loved, you get to draw adults (for a change) in period garb, and the settings are wide open for the magical and weird. I’ve been inspired by this book to try my own re-telling of Rumpelstiltskin. The drawings are simply two colors (black and gold) and perfect. I remembered all the details – the miller’s daughter’s hair braids, the gold straw, the creepy little man dancing around his campfire. Tarcov, and I was overjoyed to learn that Edward Gorey had been the illustrator! I fell in love with it again as an adult. public library, I came across that old favorite version of RUMPELSTILTSKIN from my childhood, which was retold by Edith H. During that time, while poring over picture books at the L.A. I began collecting favorite illustrators to be inspired by, among whom was Edward Gorey, who is probably best known for his cheerful ABC picture book, THE GASHLYCRUMB TINIES, which details the deaths of children (named from A-Z). ![]() They just existed - for us kids!įlash forward 20 (or so) years-after moving to Los Angeles, I had the idea to try to get into children’s illustration. ![]() At the time, I didn’t understand the concept that books were made by individual artists, so I never paid attention to who might have made them. The story was strange, scary, and had these awesome ink drawings. When I was little, my grandparents had a version of RUMPELSTILTSKIN that I adored. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you open a new file containing PDF graphics, they should be much better looking and crispier now. When you finish setting these parameter, click Add button next to the top converters list (if not, you will loose the new converter), then click Save. You can also increase the resampleWidth value if the generated bitmaps look too small on your screen (please first check that Lyx shows them at 100% of their size). Sips -resampleWidth 600 -setProperty format png $$i -out $$o We will first change the EPS item on the right to PNG (you should have this possibility in the combo that opens when you click on EPS), and change the converter command as consequence, by replacing the complete psdtopdf. When you choose this item, the bottom boxes are filled and you can read a command that starts with pdftops. Here we will use the PDF (graphics) ->EPS item as a template. To create this converter, you should open the Preference menu item in the LyX menu, and go to the File handling tab, then the Converters item. A quicker and better solution would be to include a converter that uses the sips program that comes with OSX (it is a command line tool that you can use in the Terminal for converting a graphic file between different formats). Lyx converts PDFs to PNG to show them in this window, and the default conversion method can choose quite a low definition for these bitmaps. When you include a PDF graphic in a LyX file, it will appear crisp in the typeset PDF file of your document, but the version you see in the LyX window can be quite ugly. This problem will hopefully be solved in the future (see this bug for details). Note that currently, LyX doesn't work with OmniGraffle packages (e.g.OmniGraffle -> PNG converter: osascript replace/with/path/to/og-export.scpt $$i $$o png.OmniGraffle -> EPS converter: osascript replace/with/path/to/og-export.scpt `pwd`/$$i `pwd`/$$o eps.OmniGraffle -> PDF (ps2pdf) converter: osascript replace/with/path/to/og-export.scpt `pwd`/$$i `pwd`/$$o pdf.In order to use it, go to LyX preferences, add an OmniGraffle file format (just type auto for the editor), and then add converters:.Put og-export.scpt somewhere on your disk (e.g.As it doesn't have a command line mode, you can use an AppleScript in order to insert ".graffle" files directly into LyX. ![]() OmniGraffle is a great software for creating diagrams under Mac OS X (in particular, it works very well with LaTeXiT so that you can easily insert math formulae into diagrams). the error message for the failure to convert an image after an update to macOS 12.3 (Monterey) or later looks like that: The symptoms for the missing Python 2.7 utility are failures on image conversion, reconfigure of LyX or when opening LyX files from former LyX versions. But the OS update removes the Python 2.7 utility and installs the stub Python 3 utility instead. If you've just updated your macOS from a version before macOS 12.3 (Monterey) you may have no problem for some time. The "python3" command requires the command line developer tools. The second message box is from Apple and asks for download and installing the Command Line Tools. You can either try to reconfigure LyX normally, try to reconfigure without checking your LaTeX installation or continue. LyX will only have minimal functionality because no text classes have been found. The topmost is from LyX and it tells you the following: If you run LyX the first time on a Mac with macOS 12.3 (Monterey) or newer and haven't installed Python yet you'll get two message boxes partially overlapping each other (see first image of Apple Python). This is true for latest macOS (Ventura) too. So it needs to be installed manually to use LyX. With macOS 12.3 Python isn't part of the OS anymore. Until macOS 12.3 (Monterey) Apple shipped the OS with Python 2.7. LyX depends on a usable Python installation on your system.

The story very much hangs on Shirin as a character and Mafi gives her a great first person voice, which instantly makes it easy to relate to her. The behaviour displayed towards Shirin is sadly believable and although I think some of the supporting characters are thinly drawn, the passion between the central characters carries you through such that I’d definitely check out Mafi’s other work. Tahereh Mafi’s historical YA romance combines fierce anger with a steamy, intense relationship and is based on her experiences of being a Muslim teenager wearing hijab in post 9/11 America. ![]() Ocean seems to be genuinely interested in her and while he asks the same stupid questions that other people have asked, he also seems to learn from his mistakes and Shirin is terrified to realise that she wants to get to know him too … As a result, she tries to stay under the radar, listening to her music through ear buds hidden beneath her head scarf, practicing break dancing with her brother and his friends while refusing to engage with her peers and just waiting out the next two and a half years until she can leave.Īnd then Shirin meets Ocean James – a white boy with whom she is paired in her biology class. Her parents emigrated the America for a better life and work hard, constantly moving around as they get better jobs and move to nicer neighbourhoods in different cities, which means that Navid and Shirin are constantly changing schools. Navid finds this easy – tall, athletic and good looking, he always makes friends and quickly integrates into school life.įor Shirin, however, things are different because she wears hijab – a head scarf – and in post 9/11 America, which has already invaded Afghanistan and stands ready to invade Iraq, anything that marks you out as a practicing Muslim – especially a female Muslim – is to invite abuse (at worst) and hurtful microaggressions (at best). 16-year-old Shirin has just started at a new high school with her older brother Navid. I earn commission on any purchases made through these links. You can order A VERY LARGE EXPANSE OF SEA by Tahereh Mafi from Amazon USA, Amazon UK, Waterstone’s or UK. He’s not like everyone else – but Shirin has had her guard up against the world for so long that she’s not sure she’ll ever be able to let it down … He’s the first person in forever who really seems to want to get to know her – and it terrifies her. She hides away, drowning her frustrations in music, and spending her afternoons break-dancing with her brother. Shirin is never surprised by how horrible people can be. It’s a difficult time, but especially so for a sixteen-year-old Muslim girl who wears hijab. ![]() It’s the year after 9/11, and Shirin has just started at yet another new high school.

1/3/2024 0 Comments Things to annotate with![]() ![]() I think there should be a course offered to high school students that teaches them how to study effectively. I have to say, I was not a great studier. It was a lot of Shakespeare and I remember annotating and analyzing his work to death! I also remember highlighting all of my textbooks back then, but there was really no rhyme or reason to it. In university, you might be surprised to know that I only took one English course. I would read the books we were assigned (most of the time!) but I rarely enjoyed the experience and I remember feeling like I just wanted to get through it. I was definitely more of a “fly by the seat of your pants”-type student. ![]() I probably should have annotated books in high school but I never did. If you’ve ever had to annotate books in school, does this affect your willingness to annotate the books you read for fun? I scribble notes to myself of things that I want to remember. I know that a lot of audiobook apps have a feature where you can add bookmarks, but it is not something I ever do! I have started keeping a notebook handy for when I am listening to an audiobook and not following along with the physical copy. I don’t think I have ever when back through an ebook and looked at my highlights, but I am newer to ebooks and that could definitely change as I used it more! I mostly just highlight quotes that I like. Is there a difference for you between ebooks, physical books, and audiobooks?ĭefinitely! I do use the highlight feature on my Kindle but there is really no rhyme or reason to it. It is very subjective! I find this helpful when I go to write a review or if I am going to talk about a book on YouTube. I like to use different colours for world-building, character development, memorable lines, etc. I find that fantasy requires more annotating and more categories. My annotating strategy is ever-evolving and it very much depends on the book, especially in terms of genre. They are out for delivery as I write this and it was $10 for 800. I can also write on this, which is amazing because I am not quite at the point where I want to actually write in my books. I thought that these were perfect and it is going to be fun to match the colours of my annotations to the colours of the book. I was looking for something different and I saw that these more aesthetic tabs were becoming popular on Bookstagram. I started annotating just using the same sticky tabs that I used in university (you know the ones!), but something about that made reading feel too academic. ![]() 1/3/2024 0 Comments Teamviewer formac![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Tap on Remote Control button to connect the Mac from iPhone or iPad.
