![]() ![]() The underlying idea of the location, of course, is that a queen merits a palace but that under Pinochet, she’s had to illegally occupy a fancy home nearly destroyed by an earthquake because no one will just give her what she deserves. It is a space that, as imagined by production designer Marisol Torres, is a visual expression of the protagonist’s marginalized status in Chilean society at that time while still giving you the dilapidated hipster-chic vibe you’d expect from the home of someone for whom dressing up beautifully and emphatically is a way of life. But this adaptation, written by Sepulveda and Juan Tovar and based on a screenplay by the late Lemebel, largely ignores the parts of the novel that deal directly with the General in order to concentrate on the smaller, more moving chronicle of two outsiders who find themselves thrown together almost by accident.Ĭastro’s aging drag queen - about 20 years older than in the novel - lives in the wrong part of Santiago in a bourgeois apartment that’s been abandoned after the 1985 earthquakes. ![]() The story unfolds in the lead-up to the 1986 attempt on the life of Pinochet by the Manuel Rodríguez Patriotic Front. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() The important question lying behind many possibly intractable issues is whether people are serious – whether their stated beliefs are authentic, or merely devised to achieve a certain self-presentation or outcome. This is consistent with the trick-mirror-like quality of mainstream political and cultural discourse more broadly. Yet the spotty acceptance of feminism has created a loophole for women in certain spheres, like media and publishing: claiming to have hurdled sexist obstacles where there were only other kinds of obstacle, we are able to take advantage of a feminist overcorrection. Some of us have gained sufficient privilege to assess the possibility that, when we are accused of attention-seeking over-reaction, we might actually be over-reacting for attention. It suggests, contra hashtag, that not all women, in all scenarios, need to be extra vigilant for misogynist implications, connotations, deception and predation – that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. ![]() Ignoring the inaccurate ‘suddenly’, the sentiment is correct. ![]() Is suddenly conventional wisdom in many spheres,’ Jia Tolentino writes in ‘The Cult of the Difficult Woman’, an essay in her debut collection, Trick Mirror. ![]() ![]() ![]() With dedicated chapters on Northern and Southern Hemisphere objects, it's never been easier to explore the night sky, wherever you are.

Page turns and placement of speech bubbles are customarily flawless, yielding multiple guffaws, but this story also provides much-needed guidance to kids who are navigating the etiquette minefield of friendship among peers of differing abilities. More balls (“BONK! BONK! BONK! BONK!.”) isn’t the answer, but then Piggie has an idea (illustrated by a compact fluorescent light bulb) that provides the ideal solution. This awkward moment resolves with the three friends trying to play catch, with predictable results (“BONK!”). But.” “We are playing catch,” Piggie explains. “You do not want to play with me?” Snake asks sadly. Gerald and Piggie decide to play catch, but when Snake slithers up asking to play too, they are a bit dubious. The latest Elephant and Piggie book displays all the snappy pacing and wry humor readers have come to expect of the Geisel Medal–winning series, with a valuable lesson in friendship and flexibility tucked inside. ![]() ![]() ![]() I’m extremely mad at this paragraph for multiple reasons.
