This paper looks at the nitty-gritty aspects of procurements, bookkeeping, audit, and management. Its factories and mills, initially all located in Russia, served as a training ground for the first generation of native Uzbek textile workers while its management participated in the planning and construction of the first cotton textile plant in Fergana towards the end of the decade.Two threads are entangled in this story: first, the day-by-day workings of the New Economic Policy in a small industrial organization second, the economic side of early Soviet nationality policies. Its activity included all the steps of the added-value chain of industrial transformation of ginned cotton (spinning, twisting, dyeing, finishing, weaving, and printing). This trust was initially owned by the Bukharan People’s Republic, then, after the national delimitation of Central Asia, by the Uzbek SSR. This paper narrates the story of Red Orient (Rus. The life of the mind can be a very lively one. But who was the person behind the massive library of books? How was she able to create worlds that were so incredibly fantastical but also so realistic and believable? She’s considered one of the most influential authors of the 20th century for a reason. She died in 2018, but has left a fingerprint on the literary world, inspiring authors who have themselves been included as some of the greats. I think her Earthsea Cycle is just about one of the most recommended books out there, especially to young readers. Needless to say, the woman was prolific when it came to writing, and she has the awards to show just how skilled she was at it. In her lifetime she published 23 novels, 12 short story volumes, 11 poetry volumes, 13 children’s books, five essay collections, and four translated works. If you wanted to, depending on your reading speed, you could probably dedicate an entire year to reading Ursula K. Le Guin in her acceptance speech for the Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters in 2014 We’ll need writers who can remember freedom - poets, visionaries - realists of a larger reality. Hard times are coming, when we’ll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. Stokes doesn’t lean too hard on the mystery element, revealing the cold truth early enough to follow through with all the baggage that comes with it. The ensuing tale of grief and forgiveness is smartly paced. She flees reporters and police by spending the summer with her estranged father, but her surfacing memories of what really happened that fateful night loom large over her conscience. Gen wakes to find the world mourning the loss of a rising star and hating the intoxicated man that killed him. Another driver slams into them, killing Dallas and knocking Gen into a coma. The two white teens leave an album launch party late one night and disaster strikes. Genevieve Grace’s boyfriend, Dallas Kade, is a blossoming rock star, but their relationship is starting to wilt. A terrible accident shatters a teen girl’s life. So I feel like I could have read the first one, and it would have been fine to leave it the way it was. I feel like giving it 4 stars is generous. I never knew there were so many different ways to say goodbye.” I never knew there were so many kinds of love or that love could make people do so many different things.

Or at least, it now has another book sharing first place as the most romantic book I’ve ever read. Full stop.”īut maybe Galaxies and Oceans has been overtaken by this book. Walker, and in my review of it, I wrote: “Galaxies and Oceans is maybe the most romantic book I ever read. Last year, I read Galaxies and Oceans by N.R. Last week, I read the most breathtakingly romantic book, and I just have to share it with you. Cutting to 20 years later, we met Prince Siren of the Sharks. Blatant gay! It feels really good to put that in there.”Ĭastle Swimmer starts with a ball of golden light being dropped into the ocean, cracking to reveal a mermaid with golden scales, The God of The Surface names him the beacon and destines him to fulfill all the prophecies the species of mermaids hold. And so now in Castle Swimmer, it’s just blatant. It’s more implied than rather blatantly saying it. That was gay too, but I feel like if people read it, they could still deny it. It was about two girls and it was called Spread Your Wings. The second comic I made, it was more implied that they were gay. My first comic, which was like a very early version of Castle Swimmer, I wanted the characters to be gay, but I wasn’t out of the closet yet. It kind of took me a long time to be able to put gay characters into my comics. “ I mean, I’m gay, so it was a given there. In an interview with The Beat: The News Blog of Comic Culture, Martin explained why she chose to write a gay romance this way. One of the things that have made Castle Swimmer such a popular webcomic is the explicit queer representation that happens early and through out the comic.
