Nisioisin death note another note6/28/2023 While I'm not going to tell you whodunit (in either the manga or the book), here's a good rule of thumb: If you've read Death Note in its entirety, keep reading. While I always do my best to avoid spoiling anything, discussing this book will be difficult without making some amount of reference to things that appear in the actual series. Given that, I knew writing a review of a novel dealing with events that happened before the events of the Death Note manga would be fairly tricky. Given the very nature of the series, with something different revealed in pretty much every volume, it's a struggle sometimes to get anything down on paper (or on your monitor) without revealing some nugget that'll spoil things for the uninitiated. Written by: Nisioisin Certain titles demand that I put up a bit of a caveat emptor - let the buyer, or in this case the reader beware - and Death Note almost always falls under this category.

Declaration of War by Roma Gray6/28/2023 "I roamed, I roamed/All the roads of the world./I met with happy Roma./O, Roma, where do you come from/With your wagons and hungry children?/ Ah! Ah! Roma./Ah! Ah! Lads!" They already had surged to their feet and sung along as a violinist, guitar player, and singer performed a Romani anthem. More than 300 delegates and guests interrupted Scuka with applause. Roma are widely known as gypsies, a term many consider offensive. Scuka spoke early on the first day of the IRU's Fifth World Congress in 29 years of existence. The world will have to accept this declaration. "This is the declaration of this congress. "We want to make the IRU the representative of all Roma from all over the world," he said.

The hakawati by rabih alameddine6/27/2023 My favorite Sebald-well, for this week at least. When Pavel’s father and brothers are taken to a concentration camp and the Nazis confiscate the family’s small lake, the boy is forced to steal the lake’s fish from under the noses of the watchful SS. A heartfelt, affecting, miraculous memoir of youth. How I Came to Know Fish by Ota Pavel (Penguin UK, $17). Magris has the ability to make history’s bit players sparkle on the page he breathes life into Jason and Medea, as well as an Istrian fisherman who evaded conscription by Mussolini’s Fascists and Tito’s Communists. Microcosms deals with the writer’s homeland, the borderlands between Italy and what is now Croatia. Microcosms by Claudio Magris (out of print). Every time I read this novel on the Sephardic Jewish diaspora, I feel I am doing so for the first time. I have read each of the books on this list at least three times, and I mentioned this because Sepharad continues to dazzle in a peculiar way. Sepharad by Antonio Muñoz Molina (Harvest, $22).
