![]() ![]() Though the Warriors attempted 28 more shots than the Lakers, they made the exact same amount of shots (39). ![]() The Lakers made their first six shots, and though the Warriors clawed back a handful of times, Golden State never held a lead once. And it all came down to a franchise known for catching fire going ice cold from the field. They lost all three of their road games to the Lakers, snapping a streak of winning at least one road game in 28 straight playoff series. The Warriors found themselves in rare territory, losing their first playoff series to a Western Conference opponent under coach Steve Kerr. In his own words, he was "shell-shocked." LOS ANGELES - Steph Curry wasn't merely disappointed addressing the media Friday night after a 122-101 blowout loss to the Los Angeles Lakers ended the Warriors' season in Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals. ![]() ![]() Please note that the comic book image is for reference only, and is not sold with the artwork.

![]() ![]() Film adaptations and catchy, reworkable titles help. For instance, Joyce’s “Araby” is anthologized more often, but for my money “The Dead” is more iconic. (So for those of you heading to the comments to complain that these stories are “the usual suspects”-well, exactly.) An iconic short story may be frequently anthologized, which usually means frequently read in classrooms, something that can lead to cultural ubiquity-but interestingly, the correlation isn’t perfect. (Also NB that in this case we’re necessarily talking about the American cultural consciousness, weird and wiggly as it is.) When something is iconic, it is a highly recognizable cultural artifact that can be used as a shorthand-which often means it has been referenced in other forms of media. Well, who knows, but for our purposes, “iconic” means that the story has somehow wormed its way into the general cultural consciousness-a list of the best short stories in the English language would look quite different than the one below. But before we go any further, you may be asking: What does “iconic” mean in this context? Can a short story really be iconic in the way of a poem, or a painting, or Elvis? Last year, I put together this list of the most iconic poems in the English language it’s high time to do the same for short stories. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Jennifer Lynn Barnes is known for her mysteries and her mysteries are why I keep coming back to her. There are many many MANY twists and my head is still spinning from trying to figure out what I just read. What the fuck are words anyway? This book does not pull any punches whatsoever. until Sawyer and the White Gloves make a disturbing discover near the family's summer home-and uncover a twisted secret, decades in the making. When her cousin Lily ropes her into pledging a mysterious, elite, and all-female secret society called the White Gloves, Sawyer soon discovers that someone in the group's ranks may have the answers she's looking for. But the answers Sawyer found during her debutante year only left her with more questions and one potentially life-ruining secret. Reluctant debutante Sawyer Taft joined Southern high society for one reason and one reason alone: to identify and locate her biological father.

These rare exceptions apart, indeed, Doctorow’s fiction cleaves stubbornly to the American landmass and compulsively re-maps those locales to which he was particularly drawn: the Bronx, Manhattan, and New Rochelle. My first hunch in thinking about this paper was that Doctorow is perhaps the most relentlessly American of the great American novelists since Twain, that his spatial repertoire is, particularly in contrast with Thomas Pynchon or Don DeLillo or David Foster Wallace, an exceptionally narrow one, dwelling almost exclusively within the continental United States, with two significant exceptions: Warren Penfield’s sojourn in 1920s Japan in Loon Lake, and the geographical outliers of Ragtime-Hamburg, Rome, Mexico, and the North Pole. This paper was the keynote address at a recent University of Sydney symposium devoted to Doctorow’s work.

The editor tracked Matthew down through his contact details in the front of the book. ![]() In January 1997, a Commissioning Editor for Pan Macmillan Australia walked into Angus & Robertson's Pitt Street Mall store and bought a copy of Contest. He produced a big-budget-looking novel which he sold into bookshops throughout Sydney, one shop at a time. Following this revelation, Matthew soon began creating stories of his own and set about writing his first novel, Contest, at the age of 19 while still at university studying law.įollowing rejections from all the major publishers, Matthew self-published Contest in 1996, printing 1000 copies. It was only after he read To Kill A Mockingbird and Lord of the Flies in Year 10 that he realised reading could transport you to another world. ![]() Born in Sydney in 1974, Matthew Reilly was not always a big fan of reading. ![]() |
