that they left out the dates of the entries is egregious. (When? How? With whom?)Īnd while I appreciate the editors' choice to leave out each day's "Dear Diary". For example, in one entry Lou comments that he wishes he could learn how to have sex "like a gay man", and in another entry not a few pages onward he mentions doing so with a new lover, as if he's learned the practicalities in the interim. Perhaps not intentionally (after all, we're talking thirty years of near-daily journaling), but their choices leave me scratching my head. Stupendously awkward-which is rather a shame, because who wants a book they can only read at home?Īs for their editing-it honestly feels to me like they mangled Lou's diaries. Between the title (which is frankly beautiful, and could work well if paired with a tasteful cover) and the naked butt, it looks to a casual passer-by like erotica. Lou's sexually-explicit musings) don't bother me at all, I'm not comfortable carrying this with me on the bus to work (let alone to work at all). Why couldn't they just put a photo of Lou? Or something-dare I say anything?-other than a naked butt? I'm a conservative gay man in Wisconsin and, while the interior content (i.e. My issues are with the editors, in both their editing choices and their choices of cover. Firstly-my three stars have nothing to do with Lou's words.

With Hem in tow on their journey, there is even more urgency to get to Norloch. He tells her that he will take her to Innail, a town where Maerad will be able to get proper training as a bard. Since then, the Nameless One has been growing more powerful and his dark minions have been growing in strength and numbers, threatening to overrun the kingdom of Annar with their evil. Cadvan explains that long ago, the King of Afinil traded his bardic "Name" in order to have immortality and became an evil sorcerer who everyone now calls the Nameless One. When a child comes of age, they will suddenly know the Speech, which is the ancient bardic language that activates their magic. The Gift is a sort of bardic magic that involves magical "Speech" and "Knowledge". Cadvan tells Maerad that she is blessed with the "Gift" (magical powers) and that she should, by rights, be attending one of the great bardic schools because an ignorant person with the Gift is dangerous to herself and people around her. He uses his magic to help her escape her slave-master, unseen. One day, she meets a man named Cadvan, who claims to be from the School of Lirigon, one of the bardic schools of magic. The time had come for Austin to say goodbye to Elvis as he began to embrace an infinite universe of possibilities as an actor.

Butler was nominated in the category for his performance in “Elvis,” but he lost the Oscar to “The Whale” star Brendan Fraser. One of the many viral images that emerged out of the 2023 Oscars was the sight of Angela Bassett holding Austin Butler’s hand as the best actor category was announced.

Which was ridiculous since I’d talked to him so many times in my head over the years, practiced so many conversations, but never did he show up out of the blue looking so dastardly handsome in a dark gray three-piece suit, his face rugged with scruff, his eyes hazel and earnest despite the playful smirk on his lips. It was a miracle that I managed to find enough voice to say that much.Īnd there was so much more that had to be said. Our gazes smashed together, and my legs nearly fell out from under me. The world that had buzzed below, the beautiful scene, the excitement that had unfurled through my body-all of it evaporated and all that existed in its place was a pale, hollow shell of myself and the man in the perfectly tailored suit behind me. Still smiling, I glanced up and caught his reflection in the window. “It’s incredible, isn’t it?” a male voice came from behind me. I’d always known that connections made the difference in a career, and here I was. It wasn’t the way I thought it would be, but in the end, it still came out of my time at Harvard. Giddiness surged through me, starting like a pinprick at my center and moving out through my veins in all directions until even my fingers and toes felt warm.
