![]() It is Hardy's naturalness in handling this particular environment, which he called "Wessex," that puts us at our ease and infuses the work with a life and a reality all its own. There are also long, well-wrought, descriptive passages of the surrounding countryside, the buildings, the roads, the commerce, and the amusements that make up the environment of Casterbridge. Yet these characters are at all times real, for they are based on people he had grown up with, people he had heard about in legends and ballads, people whose tragic histories he had unearthed during his early architectural apprenticeship. His characters are often primitive - as is the case in The Mayor of Casterbridge - and exhibit all the passions, hates, loves, and jealousies that rustic life seems to inspire. On every page of Hardy's Wessex novels is displayed the influence of Hardy's upbringing, regional background, and architectural studies.

![]() ![]() (Well, K and the daughter-slaves…)Īnd so we wrote a book this year, and it's going to come out in lots and lots of countries in a few months. I have a writing partner named Kami and she is why we ever get anything done. I'm not kidding when my daughters wanted to go to school I said 'Why are you so selfish? Get back in there and edit,' and by said I mean yelled and maybe threw things, it's all a haze. I live in Santa Monica, CA, with my family, most of whom were enslaved into working with me in one form or another on my forthcoming YA book for Little, Brown. Don't tell the people at Yale, but sometimes I taught the section before I'd seen the movie it was about… ![]() I taught Intro to Film as a TA at Yale and Romantic Poetry as a TA at Stanford. I fell in love with American literature at Amherst and Yale, earned an MA in English from Stanford, and studied creative writing under the late great poet George MacBeth at the University of East Anglia, Norwich. School I spent more years in it than a person ever should, because let's face it, reading books is so much better than having a job. If you know games you get why my two bad beagles are named Zelda and Kirby. For 10 years, I designed &/or wrote for lots of video games, one of which was nominated for 'Most Innovative Game Design,' but I lost to a rapping onion. ![]() Writing has gotten me in and out of trouble since I was 15 (back then, mostly just in trouble.) I have written everything from video games and video game manuals to live action screenplays, as well as poetry in the UK & the US. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Four Weeks of Scandal : Megan Frampton : 9780063023123 Usamos cookies para ofrecerte la mejor experiencia posible.
