![]() ![]() ![]() When I began this book, I wasn't enjoying it and thought I should put it down. I'm not sure that's what Schmidt intended, but it added a bit of additional interest to think of him in that way. The parallels between Benjamin's background and that of Lizzie and Emma are striking and, since his presence is mostly unremarked upon by other characters, it's tempting to think of him as some kind of alter-ego for one of them. Each of these could easily be an unreliable narrator, issuing a self-serving account of events. There is also Benjamin, a violent young man driven by resentment of the father that abandoned his family for another woman, who hovers around the family at the crucial time, observing what is going on. There are the Borden sisters, Emma and Lizzie, and their maid Bridget, all based on people involved in these events. Schmidt imparts the story through four narrative voices. ![]() In her debut novel, Sarah Schmidt tackles the notorious case of Lizzie Borden, the woman accused of killing her father and step-mother (which gave rise to a renowned bit of doggerel).īorden was cleared in her trial, but one cannot write a novel such as this without putting forward a theory of who did it, and Schmidt gives us her take on it with a convincing use of narrative and character development. ![]() ![]() We have been here before: For James Baldwin, these after times came in the wake of the civil rights movement, when a similar attempt to compel a national confrontation with the truth was answered with the murders of Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King, Jr. From Charlottesville to the policies of child separation at the border, his administration turned its back on the promise of Obama’s presidency and refused to embrace a vision of the country shorn of the insidious belief that white people matter more than others.

Meno is a Socratic dialogue that attempts to determine the definition of virtue in general, rather than particular virtues, such as justice or temperance. Apology, Crito, and Phaedo are dialogues in which Plato details the Philosopher Socrates' last days. This anthology volume includes Five Dialogues of Plato Euthyphro - Apology - Crito - Phaedo - Meno. Plato's Middle dialogues were writtten from 387 to 361 and Plato's latter dialogues were written in the period between 361 and his death in 347. The works which are most often assigned to Plato's early years are all considered to be Socratic dialogues, written from 399 to 387. Unlike nearly all of Plato's philosophical contemporaries, Plato's entire body of work is believed to have survived intact for over 2,400 years. He is widely considered the most pivotal figure in the development of philosophy, especially the Western tradition. Plato was a philosopher in Classical Greece and the founder of the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. ![]() ![]() ![]() Soon, Mickey learns about a conspiracy so shocking that it makes high school drama seem like a luxury - and leaves him questioning everything about the life he thought he knew.įirst introduced to readers in Harlan Coben's latest adult novel, Live Wire, Mickey Bolitar is as quick-witted and clever as his uncle Myron, and eager to go to any length to save the people he cares about.

As she writes, where one young Black student was accused of bringing a Molotov cocktail to school and went through a hellish legal ordeal, a White student who confessed to the same crime was barely punished. Rarely did any of the cases put before her involve White defendants. “Our nation’s obsession with policing and incarcerating Black America begins with Black children.” So writes Henning, a law professor who served as lead attorney with the District of Columbia public defender’s office, specializing in youth crime.
