Brave New World

Aldous Huxley | 1932 | Fiction & Poetry

Book Favorite

"Infamous for the predictions made about the modern world, Huxely’s “Brave New World” gives chilling commentary on the flaws of both the present and future societies that we are and will be living in. At the epicenter, it is an age-old debate about the dichotomy of freedom and happiness."

Movie Favorite

"Senegalese director Djibril Diop Mambéty’s 1973 film about a young man and woman in a modern African city who don’t fit in. So they get out. They get far out. The raw energy and often hyper-experimental nature of the music, visuals, and editing make this a favorite. Beautiful. Fully punk."

Book Favorite

"A book I never tire of reading. Undine Spragg is such a modern, greedy girl, and yet we love her as she works her way through her marriages, acquiring and desiring ever more. I enjoy reading about her dresses, her addresses and all the social mores of the day. Delicious."

"I’ve always been a fan of Farrah Rochon and The Boyfriend Project hits all the right buttons for me. It’s smart, sexy, modern, and funny. You get a fabulous romance, female friendships, plus a fresh and frank look at workplace dynamics you don’t often get in romance. I adored it."

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Hag-Seed: The Tempest Retold in Books

Oct 7, 2020

Only Margaret Atwood could take Shakespeare's "The Tempest" and turn it not only into a truly modern piece of art, but also include a rendition of the original play, in the most surprising way. Read my review of this rollicking novel here
