![]() Beste's access and insight has been absolutely without precedent, resulting in an amazing photographic journey. Peter Beste has spent the last eight years working in the milieu of this insulated and secretive community. What started as juvenile frenzy came to symbolize the start of a war against Christianity, a return to the worship of the ancient Norse gods, and the complete rejection of mainstream society. In the early-mid 1990s, members of this extremist underground committed murder, burned down medieval wooden churches, and desecrated graveyards. It has its roots in a heady blend of splatter movies, heavy metal music, Satanism, Pagan mythology and adolescent angst. In the last two decades a bizarre and violent musical subculture called black metal has emerged in Norway. Peter Beste's book "True Norwegian Black Metal", will be issued on May 15 via Vice Books. ![]() The opening reception and book signing is scheduled for May 9 from 6 p.m. ![]() The show is curated by Johan Kugelberg and is not to be missed. American documentary photographer Peter Beste will hold a photo exhibition from May 9 to June 7 at Steven Kasher Gallery in New York City. ![]()

Ten and a half years before WWII, the Ingleford family were on vacation at the seaside. ![]() “There were lots and lots of people like Mortimer in the world, people who suffered because other people thought war glorious.” In this literary niche, it sounds entirely plausible. In any other genre this story would seem contrived. ![]() Enemy Brothers by Constance Savery is fiction. When reading living history books from that period, a reader must brace himself for a story that is likely to explore psychologically deep topics and layers of suffering. A bit fantasy, a bit dystopian, a bit chaotic, a bit epic, and a lot incredible. ![]() During that creatively brutal time, so many stranger-than-fiction things happened to real people, and stories from that period have produced a unique genre. Real life during WWII was especially good at turning things inside out and upside down. “England and her Allies aren’t just fighting the Axis countries – they’re fighting the evil spirits that have laid hold of Germany and Italy and Japan.” ![]() ![]() ![]() does have a different section of the website called the Review Team, which offers free books in exchange for review.

Burning Bookis both a loving commemoration of the event's storied history and an enlightening companion for festivalgoers. These revelers - an eclectic mix of punks, geeks, families, ravers, grad students, gearheads, hippies, and tourists - turn the ancient lakebed of Nevada's Black Rock Desert into a bustling city that exists for one glorious week before disappearing in a cloud of ashes and dust. Two decades later Burning Man has evolved intoa dazzling annual extravaganza dedicated to radical self-reliance and radical self-expression, attracting nearly forty thousand people. It all began in 1986 when a pair of friends burned an eight-foot-tall effigy on Baker Beach in San Francisco in front of an impromptu audience of twenty. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With fraud, bribery, corruption and torture exposed at every turn,Red Notice is a shocking but true political roller-coaster that plays out in the highest echelons of Western power. Browder’s graphic portrait of the Russian government as a criminal enterprise wielding all the power of a sovereign state illuminates his personal transformation from financier to human rights activist, campaigning for justice for his late lawyer and friend. Bill Browder – the hedge fund manager who employed Magnitsky – takes us on his explosive journey from the heady world of finance in New York and London in the 1990s, through his battles with ruthless oligarchs in the turbulent landscape of post-Soviet Union Moscow, to his expulsion from Russia on Putin’s orders. Red Notice is a searing expose of the wholesale whitewash by Russian authorities of Magnitsky’s imprisonment and murder, slicing deep into the shadowy heart of the Kremlin to uncover its sordid truths. His farcical posthumous show-trial brought Putin's regime to a new low in the eyes of the international community. Bill Browder discusses his book Red Notice: The True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man's Fight For Justice with Budapest Beacon. ![]() Magnitsky’s brutal killing has remained uninvestigated and unpunished to this day. His crime? To testify against the Russian Interior Ministry officials who were involved in a conspiracy to steal $230 million of taxes paid to the state by one of the world’s most successful hedge funds. An emaciated young lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, is led to a freezing isolation cell in a Moscow prison, handcuffed to a bed rail, and beaten to death by eight police officers. ![]() ![]() The Showtime documentary about his life is called "McEnroe."ĭAVIES: John McEnroe, welcome to FRESH AIR.ĭAVIES: You know, I have to say, when I was preparing this introduction, I kind of cringed at the thought of playing that clip. McEnroe is a regular analyst on TV coverage of major tennis tournaments, and he does voiceover work on the hit Netflix series "Never Have I Ever." I spoke to John McEnroe in September. ![]() The film also explores his family relationships with his father and manager and with his own children. It chronicles McEnroe's remarkable success at a young age and his marriages to Tatum O'Neal and Patty Smyth, all in the glare of intense media scrutiny. John McEnroe is the subject of a documentary film released this year, directed by Barney Douglas, that's now streaming on Showtime. How can you possibly call that out? How many are you going to miss?ĭAVIES: That's McEnroe arguing a line call at the 1981 Wimbledon tournament. His playing days are also remembered for moments like this. ![]() And he's won 25 singles titles on the Champions Tour, the circuit for those who've retired from the mainstream tour.

We're playing back some of our favorite interviews from the year. ![]() ![]() ![]() I have enjoyed other books by Joanna Davidson Politano, but A Midnight Dance was exceptional. The actual 'midnight dance' is truly a magical experience when it comes full circle again. The characters grow and evolve, causing them to tarry with you long after the book is finished. A historical setting with an unusual plot that takes you behind the scenes of ballet and theater in the Regency Era. ![]() ![]() This is for anyone who loves to feel uplifted and edified while transported into another world. I first purchased this on audible for myself to enjoy but have since shared the paperback with my older daughters. Discovering these along with the main character was truly an experience. I loved the surprising rise of some characters and was caught completely unaware by some of the twists and plot changes. I had read very few and so was not aware of WHO would become the MC's and WHAT the ultimate story would lead to. Let me first say, DO NOT READ other reviews which may contain spoilers before reading this book. Beautiful! Don't read too many reviews first. ![]() ![]() ![]() By replacing Selina’s traditional love interest of Bruce Wayne with Luke and by incorporating the League into Catwoman’s origin, Maas breathes new life into the oft-told Catwoman story. Catwoman must join forces with Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn in order to survive Gotham criminals and the League of Assassins, as well as complete her plan to save Maggie. She arrives in Gotham under the alias Holly Vanderhees and soon finds her alter ego Catwoman entangled with Batwing (aka Luke Fox), a superhero still struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder from his time as a U.S. Years later, Selina escapes from the League with a small fortune, a thumb drive holding the secret to reusable Lazarus Pits (which heal the sick), and a high-tech cat battle suit. In exchange for Maggie’s safety and care, Selina agrees to join Talia al Ghul in the League of Assassins. Gr 8 Up–In this graphic novel retelling of Maas’s popular DC Icons book, Selina Kyle, part of the Leopard gang in Gotham, fights in underground rings to raise money for her sister Maggie’s illness, before being busted by the police. ![]() ![]() ![]() Studies show that the average US college student switches tasks every 65 seconds, and focuses on one thing for an average of only 19 seconds.Īdults, though, hardly fare better: at the workplace, employees stay with one task for an average of three minutes. Hari’s evidence that there is an attention crisis, and that it’s acute, is more damning than one’s worst assumptions. ![]() In his unsettling Stolen Focus: Why You Can’t Pay Attention - genuinely deserving of an “everyone should read it” tag - Hari argues that our ability to solve the pressing, even existential problems of the day, such as climate change, suffer from the fact that we simply can’t zero in on the complex issues as we must. The upshot of this dismal condition extends far beyond the inability to relish thousand-page reads. This is our brain’s quandary today: the masses of information flooding our senses at hitherto unprecedented speeds have swamped, exhausted and abused us. But even the most formidable gatekeeper is overwhelmed when dozens of determined revellers storm his post at once. The brain filters thoughts and other impulses the way a doorman does partygoers intent on entering a popular nightspot. "The brain is like a nightclub bouncer," one neuroscientist told writer Johann Hari during his three-year exploration of our attention crisis, namely society’s evermore pronounced inability to concentrate. ![]() |
