Real World (novel)
''Real World'' (''Riaru Wārudo'', 2003) is a novel by Japanese author Natsuo Kirino. It was published by Vintage Books on July 15, 2008 in an English translation by Philip Gabriel. The story describes the lives of four teenage girls (Toshi, Terauchi, Yuzan, and Kirarin) and how they deal with a teenage boy, nicknamed "Worm," who goes on the run after being accused of murdering his mother. It is a mosaic novel, featuring the perspectives of all five teenagers. The action takes place in a suburb of Tokyo. According to Barbara E. Thornbury, "The English term "real world"—phonetically transcribed into Japanese using the katakana syllabary—is a complex signifier that simultaneously expresses resigned acceptance and angry resistance." Background The story takes its inspiration from two murders committed in 1997 by a fourteen-year-old high school student using the alias "Sakakibara Seito." Plot The novel starts from Toshi's perspective. She hears loud crashes coming from Wor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Real World?
''The Real World?'' is a 1987 play written by Canadian playwright Michel Tremblay. Originally written in French, under the title ''Le Vrai Monde?'', it was later translated into English by John Van Burek and Bill Glassco. It is about a young playwright named Claude, who writes his own mother and father into his first play. His parents, however, do not believe it to be an accurate representation of them, as we switch from his real parents to Claude's imagined reality as portrayed in his fictitious play. ''The Real Wurld?'', a Tron Theatre production of a translation of the play into contemporary Scots by Bill Findlay and Martin Bowman, was staged as part of Glasgow Mayfest in 1991. The play received two Dora Mavor Moore Award nominations for Outstanding New Play, in 1988 for the original French version and in 1989 for the English translation."And the Dora nominees are...".

Laughter (The Mighty Lemon Drops Album)
''Laughter'' is the third studio album by English rock group The Mighty Lemon Drops. Released on Chrysalis/ Sire in 1989, the album was the band's first to feature David Newton as the primary songwriter, as co-writer and bassist Tony Linehan quit early during the recording sessions. The album contains the hit U.S. modern rock singles "Into the Heart of Love" and "Where Do We Go From Heaven". Background and recording The Mighty Lemon Drops, feeling wrongly pigeonholed from their previous works as a "doom and gloom" band, decided in early 1989 to name their new album ''Laughter'' to reflect the group's shift in musical direction and to distance themselves from other bands with whom they had often been compared. Guitarist and songwriter David Newton explained, "There's definitely more lightness as opposed to all the dark stuff we've done. We wanted to lose all that. People are really amazed when they hear us. The press would lead you to believe that the only reason we exist is beca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Modern Dance
''The Modern Dance'' is the debut album by the American rock music, rock band Pere Ubu. It was released in February 1978 through the label Blank Records. A 5.1 surround sound version was released as the DVD-Audio side of a DualDisc in 2005. Critical reception Reviewing for ''The Village Voice'' in 1978, Robert Christgau wrote that "even though there's too much ''Radio Ethiopia'' and not enough 'Redondo Beach (song), Redondo Beach,'" he would be "listening through the failed stuff—the highs are worth it." In ''Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies'' (1981), he reaffirmed that "the highs are worth it, and the failed stuff ain't bad" in his revised review. Ken Tucker, writing in ''Rolling Stone'', called it vivid and exhilarating, even if "harsh and willfully ugly". ''NME'' named ''The Modern Dance'' the 11th best album of 1978. ''Fact (UK magazine), Fact'' placed the record at number 31 on its list of the 100 best albums of the 1970s. Track listing Personne ...
