Writes Viet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer Prize winner and board member: “A book to break your heart and heal it.”īefore it would become a bestseller, before it had a title, before the first comic was drawn, Thi Bui’s The Best We Could Do was a project of reconstruction: an attempt to bring together generations of family stories. “Narratively intricate, intellectually fastidious, and visually stunning” ( Vulture). “A stunning work of reconstructed family and world history” ( Booklist Online). “This memoir feels not just created but also deeply lived” ( The Washington Post). Bui documents parental sacrifice, excavates family histories, and grapples with the inherited struggles of displacement and diaspora. An American Book Award winner, a National Book Critics Circle finalist in autobiography, and an Eisner Award finalist in reality-based comics, Bui’s memoir traces her family’s daring escape after the fall of South Việt Nam in the 1970s and their effort to build new lives for themselves in America. Twelve years later, the debut graphic memoir would be released to widespread acclaim from critics and literary heavyweights alike. Before she began to work on The Best We Could Do in 2005, Thi Bui had never drawn a comic in her life. ![]() ![]() A bald old man with a terrible temper and a pathetic assistant, he could be the First of the Magi, he could be a spectacular fraud, but whatever he is, he's about to make the lives of Logen, Jezal, and Glokta a whole lot more difficult. His latest trail of corpses may lead him right to the rotten heart of government, if he can stay alive long enough to follow it.Įnter the wizard, Bayaz. But then Glokta hates everyone: cutting treason out of the Union one confession at a time leaves little room for friendship.

Work today looks very different than it did in the wake of the 2008 Recession and even more so than it did in 1974, when Studs Terkel interviewed a diverse range of individualsfrom the farmers to newspaper boys, limo drivers, factory workers, phone operators, police officers, doctors, press agents and athletes for his influential book, Working.

I also surveyed a different array of workers than Terkel or Scarry. I asked Stephen Colbert about how he toggles back and forth between his character and himself. I talked to a hospice nurse about what she does with a dead body while she’s waiting for the mortician (washes it). This interview and others that Terkel recorded for his 1974 book, Working, were boxed away in his house until recently, when Radio Diaries and Project& combed through them and produced a series. I quizzed a waiter about whether he eats the food his customers leave on their plates (yes). I asked a rock musician how he performs his biggest hit for the thousandth time without sounding bored. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In The South, Joffrey, The Heir Apparent, Rules In Name Only, Victim Of The Scheming Courtiers Who Teem Over King’s Landing. ![]() Eddard’s Son Robb Has D Himself King In The North.

Reviewed by Gerhard Charles Rump* This little book must have had sustained interest to be printed later in an English version. Pluto Press, London, 1978.206 pp., illus. The lengthy article on the Piazzale Augusto Imperatore in Rome, for example, has 52 illustrations on 33 pages, mostly in groups of four or six so the references to them in the text are nearby. An interesting aspect of the layout is the way in which the many illustrations are concentrated on special pages grouped together, avoiding the spotty effect that occurs when they are scattered throughout the text. The large format of this well designed book is more attractive than usual academic publications.
