  • Childhoods of the American Presidents
    William O. Foss
    How much does the average American actually know about the men who have served as president of our country, especially when it comes to their lives before the presidency?

  • My Memory, my Soul and my Quantum Entanglement - My Good Life Chronicles
    Manuel Augusto Antão
    When I started blogging almost 10 years ago, on the 4th of August 2016, my goal was to have a place where I could capture and express my thoughts and feelings about stuff, i.e., a place where I could digress about the things that interested me (Shakespeare, SF, Opera, Film, etc.) It also provided a kind of repository where my kids, say, could go to get glimpses of me that may g...

    Manuel Augusto Antão
    In case there’s anyone out there that has been reading the things I’ve been writing on my blogs, probably noticed that one of my 'projects' for 2014, 2015 (and now 2016) was to read through all of Shakespeare’s Works.

There must always be another kind of challenge. I want that elusive thing that I found, together with the encounter that I had with the 'object' and the experience we lived together. Every day when I wake up, I don...

  • Beats
    Manuel Augusto Antão
    What it means to me to be a critic/reviewer? For a lot of readers, a 'reviewer' or 'critic' is an embittered failed novelist or worse, a barely restrained serial rapist. Book critics may take the form of a dilettante, theorist, essayist, or even historian, but almost never reviewers, who sometimes lack the distancing from the text required by the demands of academia synthesis. ...
