![]() He is a Colombian writer and journalist, who reached international acclaim after winning in 2006 the prestigious Tusquets Prize.Įvelio Rosero studied primary school in Colombia’s southern city of Pasto, and high school in Bogotá, where he later attended Universidad Externado de Colombia obtaining a degree in Journalism. Stranger to the Moon is a powerfully brave and distinctive novel by a writer who is arguably Colombia’s greatest living author.Įvelio Rosero Diago was born in Bogotá, Colombia, on March 20, 1958. Trained insects and reptiles spy on all the naked-ones, and only the most fortunate reach old age (often by taking up strategic spots near the kitchen and grabbing for the fiercely contested food). Each subsequent section of the book adds further layers to the ritualistic and bizarre social order that its characters inhabit. A parable of pointed social criticism, with naked humans imprisoned in a house to serve the needs of “the vicious clothed-ones,” the novel describes what ensues when a single “naked-one” privately rebels, risking his own death and that of his fellow prisoners. His magnificent Stranger to the Moon portrays a world that seems to exist outside history and geography, but taps into the dark myths and collective subconscious of his country’s harrowing inequality and violence. ![]() ![]() The writer Evelio Rosero has never been one to shy away from the darker aspects of Colombia’s history and society. ![]()

![]() ![]() The National Association of Broadcasters also released a statement on the new addition, which is linked to here. The complete AP entry, which will be included in the upcoming Spring edition, can be found at the link above. ![]() AP cautions not to “assume that mental illness is a factor in a violent crime,” and advises reporters to use more neutral language when describing a condition, such as “has obsessive-compulsive disorder” rather than “suffers from” or similar terms. Some of their recommendations include being specific when including information about a diagnosis by using the name of the disorder and proper sourcing.Īnother aspect of the new entry has ties to the Newtown school shooting in December, 2012. The Associated Press recently announced that it is adding an entry to its stylebook to help journalists cover the topic of mental illness in a fair and appropriate manner. “Entry on mental illness is added to AP Stylebook” ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Mal blunders into Nick and Sara’s Valentine’s Day tryst and manages to appropriate earrings and La Perla lingerie intended for Sara. But Sara has a firm grip on his fantasies, not to mention his more tangible parts. Nick strives to break off his affair, which began during a terrorist attack on London. She’s tempted by the culinary and erotic possibilities-Nick has seemed preoccupied lately. Now Trace is back in town and wants to hire Mal as his sous chef. Kit’s paranoia had misled her before: At 22 she was almost engaged to star chef Trace, when Kit goaded her into accusing Trace-groundlessly-of infidelity. His wife, cookbook author Malinche, still lovely but run ragged by the demands of three daughters and the couple’s 16th-century fixer-upper, disregards her gay male friend Kit’s insinuations about Nick’s late nights at the office. London-based divorce lawyer Nicholas has seen plenty of marital upheavals and their financial aftershocks, but a young, gorgeous new associate, Sara, has him in a titillated tizzy. Ultimately, though, it cannot escape the strictures imposed by the genre. The novel flouts the chick-lit mode-there’s less high-fashion product placement, more intelligent, Latin-laced repartee and a better class of lacy underwear.

Lost Connections Summary Social prescriptions help people feel valued and connected while medication does not.There are nine main causes of depression, and they all have to do with difficult life circumstances.Depression is not the result of a chemical imbalance.I learned these 3 powerful lessons from this book: His thoroughly researched and fascinating argument is that the key to treating depression is in re-establishing lost connections in our lives. He uncovers the truth that depression isn’t just a biological ailment, but an environmental and psychological one too. He explores the cutting-edge science of curing people without medication. In Lost Connections: Why You’re Depressed and How to Find Hope, Johann Hari explores the lesser-known side of depression and anxiety. But what if I told you this might not be the whole picture? Most of us accept the explanation that it’s something wrong with brain chemistry. It’s a huge problem, so we must have some sense of what causes it, right? There are many theories, but we don’t know exactly why depression happens, or why it’s becoming more prevalent. And those numbers only seem to be going up. The World Health Organization estimates a whopping 300 million people suffer from depression worldwide. If you don’t have it, you probably know someone who does. ![]() You don’t have to look very far to find someone who suffers from depression. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The messenger announces that Michael Cassio, ‘lieutenant to the warlike Moor, Othello / Is come on shore’.

Alone with Roderigo, Iago persuades him to follow them to Cyprus, saying Othello and Desdemona’s love will not last long. Othello asks Iago to bring his wife Emilia to Cyprus to ‘attend on’ Desdemona. Desdemona asks to go with Othello to Cyprus and Brabantio warns Othello ‘she has deceived her Father, and may thee’. Desdemona is called for and she tells the Senate she married Othello for love and her duty is now to him rather than her father. The Duke listens to Othello who explains that she fell in love with him as he told her stories about his life and that ‘she loved me for the dangers I had passed’. ![]() Brabantio tells the Duke that Othello has bewitched his daughter saying she is ‘abused, stolen from me and corrupted’.
