Cherry is married to an imbecile who challenges his friend to seduce her in 100 nights. The One Hundred Nights of Hero is centered on two women in love. While The Encyclopedia of Early Earth was complex in its layering of stories within stories, the stories themselves were not super complicated (that I remember) and the story was centered on a man seeking love. However, The One Hundred Nights of Hero tackles some really big topics in a gloriously feminist way. I debated whether I should review this book or not because it's one of those books that I just really loved because it was kind and beautiful. ![]() It's all about women being amazing, about the power of stories, about the importance of resisting, even in the face of inevitable failure, and so much more. I adored Isabel Greenberg's The Encyclopedia of Early Earth, so as soon as I heard about her new book The One Hundred Nights of Hero, I put it on hold at the library. ![]() ![]() ![]() The text in this children's book is very simple. ![]() ![]() This is a very kid-friendly book that explains to children what adoption is.

Grace-who signed her paintings "Hartigan"- was a full-fledged member of the "men’s club" that was the 1950s art scene. By the mid-fifties, she freely combined abstract and representational elements. Although praised for the coloristic brio of her abstract paintings, she began working figuratively, a move that was much criticized but ultimately vindicated when the Museum of Modern Art purchased her painting The Persian Jacket in 1953. She moved to New York in her early twenties and befriended Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, and other artists who were pioneering Abstract Expressionism. Attempting to channel her vague ambitions after an early marriage, Grace struggled to master the basics of drawing in night-school classes. Along the way, there were multiple affairs, four troubled marriages, a long battle with alcoholism, and a chilly relationship with her only child. This first-ever biography of American painter Grace Hartigan traces her rise from virtually self-taught painter to art-world fame, her plunge into obscurity after leaving New York to marry a scientist in Baltimore, and her constant efforts to reinvent her style and subject matter. ![]() ![]() ![]() Believed to be a formidable weaver of odds and circumstances, Vivian must now attend the Weaver Trials and master the mysterious art of "Weaving into reality" in hope of preventing the impending apocalypse.

However, outside of the diegetic context of the musical’s story, they also possess extracompositional qualities which reference musical, historical, and dramatic events, as well as musical styles, repertoires, and even specific works. These fragments themselves play important intracompositional roles in the plot. Departing from Gaston Leroux’s 1909–1910 novel, in which actual operas (notably Gounod’s Faust) function as important plot devices, Lloyd Webber and his librettists created three pastiche ‘operas’, parts of which are heard and seen in the course of the musical. ![]() A so-called megamusical, it is a popular musical theatre piece in which opera itself is a kind of character, and which refers on many levels to opera, operatic conventions, and specific operatic musical styles. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera (London, 1986) presents an interesting case of metareference. ![]() |
