The story was also published separately in book form. At that time, the short story and the screenplay were published together, along with essays by Proulx and the screenwriters, as Brokeback Mountain: Story to Screenplay. Screenwriters Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana adapted the story for the 2005 film. The collection was a finalist for the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. A slightly expanded version of the story was published in Proulx's 1999 collection of short stories, Close Range: Wyoming Stories.

The housing market in Colorado and across the country has gone haywire in recent years - especially since the coronavirus pandemic began - as people are working from home, losing jobs and shifting life priorities. And although the 1897 crisis proved limited, it presaged the fatal failure of Castlewood Dam. Eight years earlier there was a similar flood that killed a thousand people in Pennsylvania. Today, we take you back to May 7th 1897 when a 100 foot wide breach in the Castlewood Dam threatened to inundate communities below - including Denver. Today - The housing market in Colorado has gone haywire - but how has one Eastern Plains town kept its head above water.īut before we begin, let’s go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”: It’s Friday May 7th, and even though there’s a lot of turmoil right now we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you. Good Morning, Colorado, you’re listening to the Daily Sun-Up. Most people who have heard of Stella Gibbons don’t even realise that she wrote anything else.Įven in her own time, she wasn’t all that popular with her contemporaries. So, yeah, she was pretty over it, like a would-be rockstar that only ever had one hit song and was forced to play it ad infinitim for the rest of her career. To him, and his admirers, you have never grown up… The old monster has also overlain all my other books, and if I do happen to glance at him occasionally, I am filled by an incredulous wonder that I could have once been so light-hearted.” Stella Gibbons “ some unignorable old uncle, to whom you have to be grateful because he makes you a handsome allowance, but who is often an embarrassment and a bore skipping about, and reminding you of the days when you were a bright young thing. Speaking of her first book, she once said: Cold Comfort Farm was her first book, published in 1932, and she went on to write 23 additional novels in her lifetime but this is the only one that remains in print. Stella Gibbons seems to be the poor cousin of early 20th century authors, ignored by academics and readers alike. I certainly hadn’t before I pulled together my Keeping Up With The Penguins reading list. Now, I’m going to assume that most of you have never heard of Cold Comfort Farm either.

Several months ago, I asked a host of stellar writers to send me a list of their favorite books published in 2019. Jagged mountains rise from the column of the book's spine and the figures of various characters that the Prince encounters in his celestial travels march across the tale like a regiment of paper soldiers. When the prince, released from his vow by the flower, begins to travel to other planets, the pages grow thick with inventive paper landscapes. Masses of entwined balboa trees burst from the pages like a riot of pernicious weeds. As the classic tale unfolds and we learn more about the Little Prince's miniature home planet, the pop-up art evolves into cratered orbs that spin at the pull of a tab or twist their flower clustered faces to the warmth of a rising sun stretching above the page. Beginning pages are full of hidden doors, windows and flaps that contain treasures of minuscule fold out animals and tiny doodles. The book begins with the Little Prince himself, being held aloft from the title page by a harnessed flock of birds, the white and pale gray of each wing a stark contrast to the enveloping black mass of the space that surrounds him. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry proclaims himself no "great artist" and this pop-up book stays true to the delicate pastels of the watercolors he used to create The Little Prince's illustrations.

The investigation into this mysterious drug mirrors Holmes’ own drug use. Paget illustrated some of the grisly murders by this drug in the original story. Holmes investigates some strange murders, finding several dead people contorted and frozen in fear, possibly drugged. It’s something Holmes could solve easily, I have no doubt about that, but the real interest is in some of the imagery and detail put into the plot. There, he gets wrapped up in a local crime, and undergoes a philosophical change all at the same time. He gets more serious later on.įurther, Sherlock Holmes is depressed again, as in The Musgrave Ritual, and needs a holiday. For example, his costume is very comedic, as he wraps his scarf around his bowler hat, making him look like a teapot. Personally, I think Brett took a jovial and light approach to the beginning of the story, and adds touches of his own to many of the scenes. In any case, the outcome was a creative story. In this episode, there are a lot of changes from the canon, but this time Jeremy Brett was not an opponent to them, he was their instigator.Īs reported by several of the cast, Brett was exuberant and lively during filming, but many have remarked on his mood swings, so this may have been one of them. Jeremy Brett’s run in The Return of Sherlock Holmes is underrated, and there are so many good episodes, like The Devil’s Foot, filmed in 1988. |
