![]() ![]() It is at war with Ascia, its totalitarian northern neighbor. Severian lives in a nation called the Commonwealth, ruled by the Autarch, in the Southern Hemisphere. It is a first-person narrative, ostensibly translated by Wolfe into contemporary English, set in a distant future when the Sun has dimmed and Earth is cooler (a " Dying Earth" story). The tetralogy chronicles the journey of Severian, a journeyman torturer who is disgraced and forced to wander. Despite being published with a year between each book, all four books were written and completed during his free time without anyone's knowledge when he was still an editor of Plant Engineering, allowing him to write at his own pace and take his time. Gene Wolfe had originally intended the story to be a 40,000-word novella called "The Feast of Saint Catherine", meant to be published in one of the Orbit anthologies, but during the writing, it continued to grow. ![]() It inaugurated the "Solar Cycle" that Wolfe continued by setting other works in the same universe ( The Urth of the New Sun, The Book of the Long Sun series, and The Book of the Short Sun series). ![]() The Book of the New Sun (1980–1983) is a four-volume science fantasy novel written by the American author Gene Wolfe. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There is no need to worry that she will change careers to glass artist anytime soon. To research for the Glass books, Maria attended several glass blowing classes. And to prove it to her parents.er.since she is still fascinated with the weather, she was able to play with the weather while writing her award-winning Glass Series ( Storm Glass, Sea Glass, and Spy Glass) about a glass magician who can capture magic inside her glass creations. ![]() However, Maria's meteorological degree did not go to waste, nope, not at all. Unable to part company with Seton Hill and its wonderful writing program, Maria is currently a teacher and mentor for the MFA program. Writing, proved to be more enjoyable than meteorology, and Maria returned to school to earn a Master of Arts degree in fiction writing from Seton Hill University. So she worked as an environmental meteorologist until boredom and children drove her to write down the stories that have been swirling around in her head. Unfortunately, she lacked the necessary forecasting skills. Snyder switched careers from meteorologist to novelist when she began writing the New York Times best-selling Study Series ( Poison Study, Magic Study, Fire Study, Shadow Study, Night Study and Dawn Study) about a young woman who becomes a poison taster.īorn and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, Maria dreamed of chasing tornados and even earned a Bachelors of Science degree in Meteorology from Pennsylvania State University. ![]() ![]() ![]() The cast, under Director Ilene Chalmers, deftly handled an extremely talky play. The family and their milieu put one in mind of characters in Driving Miss Daisy. There’s also Joe Farkas, recently relocated from New York City-Adolph’s employee and lastly Peachy Weil, a suitor from Lake Charles, Louisiana. The family features a Jewish man named Adolph, (in a play that takes place a few months after Hitler conquered Poland), who owns the Dixie Bedding Company Adolph’s sister Boo Levy, a widow, who insists “Jewish Christmas trees don’t have stars” a nerdy young woman, Lala, Boo’s daughter, who is obsessed with Gone with the Wind and is writing a novel entitled Though Your Sins Be Scarlet as well as mother Reba Freitag (Adolf’s sister-in-law) and Reba’s daughter Sunny. It’s December 1939 in Atlanta, Georgia, and the Freitag family is a study in assimilation, complete with a picture of General Robert E. Jean Berard (Boo), Jeanne Louise (Reba), Michael Safko (Peachy), and Spencer Kate Nelson (Lala) in ‘The Last Night of Ballyhoo.’ Photo by Ric Brown. ![]() Who is a Jew? Will you go with me to the Ballyhoo ball? Those are two questions the Jewish upper-middle-class Freitag family kvetch about during the happenings of playwright Alfred Uhry’s The Last Night of Ballyhoo. ![]() |
