...Coetzee, the South African now based in South Australia - he was too busy collecting his 2003 Nobel prize for literature - but his pesky character Elizabeth Costello, whose "Eight Lessons" formed the basis of his last "meta" novel. Stranded at the gates of heaven, she was rambling about the Victorian mudflats of her childhood when Elizabeth Costello came to its oblique...
...original illustration by Faith Jaques from the first edition of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The center's new $11.3 million home is located in Newcastle's once-derelict Ouseburn Valley, a warehouse neighborhood of artists' studios and galleries. Built in a seven-story Victorian mill, the rejuvenated building's top floor features a gigantic, child-friendly loft, intended for performances, storytelling and book signings.

Only the lad's ingenuity can defeat them. That's the power of anime: it's a weapon of mass perception...
...Otherwise, being 13 is awesome. You are starting to do everything yourself, go wherever you want, go on dates, go shopping. I love to do all that stuff, and my favorite pastime is taking photographs. I live in a Victorian-style house that my parents built themselves. It's on a 45-acre property in Marengo, Iowa. The house is on top of a big hill, so there are lots of opportunities for interesting pictures. The summer for me is awesome.
