His family influenced Griffin’s lifelong love for both music and literature. His mother was a classically trained pianist who taught for thirty years in the Fort Worth area, and his father was a fine Irish tenor and a radio personality as a younger man. John Howard Griffin’s Bio: John Howard Griffin (1920-1980), writer, the second son of four children of John Walter and Lena May (Young) Griffin, was born in Dallas, Texas, on June 16, 1920. The story would be the same.” – John Howard Griffin I could have been a Jew in Germany, a Mexican in a number of states, or a member of any “inferior” group. It is the story of the persecuted, the defrauded, the feared and detested. The real story is the universal one of men who destroy the souls and bodies of other men (and in the process destroy themselves) for reasons neither really understands. But me…I like to entertain…I like to laugh…and most importantly…I like to hate. He would have taken it “there” and got all deep on ya’ll. My boyfriend said that this isn’t the review that he would have done. Well, if I do, it definitely won’t be for official review purposes. Of course I’ve found myself browsing quite a few books on fiction writing, but I won’t bore you with the details of those here. This book might be my final non-fiction read of the summer.

Using a subtle color palette, the images echo the photographs that Park took, but not too closely. Make sure to turn to the end of the book to see his photographs and their intense message.Ĭhristoph’s illustrations are stellar. The focus here in this picture book biography is Parks’ photographic work and the impact he had on exposing racism and poverty in the inner city, showing hard working people who were still in poverty. She does include an author’s note at the end that fills in more of the extensive career of Parks as a film director and Renaissance man. Weatherford keeps this book very friendly with a minimal amount of text in the bulk of the book. Parks managed to show racism with a clarity thanks to just picking up a camera at first. He is pointed towards one specific subject who will create his most famous image, American Gothic, the picture of an African-American cleaning woman standing in front of the American flag with her mop in hand. He started photographing models and then turned his camera towards the struggling families in Chicago and Washington DC. Parks did do those jobs, but then he purchased a used camera and everything changed. He was told by his white teacher that he and the rest of his all-black class would end up as either porters or waiters. Gordon Parks had a rough beginning to his life from being born almost stillborn to losing his mother at age 14.

They’re on their way to Switzerland, where they’ve set up a safe house (or rather safe castle) to wait out the war. On the other side of the conflict, the Allied forces of Great Britain, France, and Russia, known as the Darwinists, use genetic means to fabricate living beasts – like fléchette bats fashioned to eat and then release metal spikes onto enemies – to fight.Īt the book’s outset, Prince Alek, the son of the arch-duke of Austria-Hungary and the secret heir to the empire, flees from his home with a small group of loyal men. The Axis powers of Germany and Austria-Hungary, known as the Clankers, use steely weapons of iron and machinery – think of the Imperial Walkers from The Empire Strikes Back – to wage war. This steampunk series – consisting of Leviathan, Behemoth, and Goliath – features a Europe fundamentally divided. In this roughly historical take on the Great War, Scott Westerfeld delivers thrilling adventure as he creates an intriguing world of fabricated beasts and monstrous machinations. Climb on board the Leviathan, a living airship, and join the action with two teenage heroes as they’re swept up in an alternate universe version of World War I.
