If you buy books linked on our site, The Times may earn a commission from, whose fees support independent bookstores.Įssayist, cultural critic and activist Rebecca Solnit’s two-dozen-plus books have wandered all over the map: paeans to walking and roaming off course (“ Wanderlust” and “A Field Guide to Getting Lost”) an award-winning biography of photographer Eadweard Muybridge (“ River of Shadows”) and of course, her oft-cited memoirs about the damaging repercussions of living in a misogynistic world (“ Men Explain Things to Me” and “ Recollections of My Nonexistence”). ![]() ![]() But what's more important than plot is the style of the novel – its bitter and caustic humor.

Vanity Fair is so broad and sprawling that trying to summarize its plot is almost impossible. Basically, it was a 19th century version of the Daily Show, with each month bringing a new episode. Readers would sit on pins and needles waiting for the next set of chapters to see what part of life Thackeray would make fun of and what would happen to the characters. How on earth?

Mike Mignola: According to the brain in the jar in Lobster Johnson: The Iron Prometheus, Vril is “God’s own power, Flamma Reconditus,” the power left over after the creation of the world. “Iron Prometheus” is a more evocative name, of course, and conjures up all the implications of the Titan’s gift of fire to the early people of earth, but so far as anybody knows that original prototype (the armor) was lost in the warehouse explosion.ĭHC: What is Vril energy and how does it play into the story of Sledgehammer 44? ![]() JA: The prototype for the Sledgehammer armor is what appears in that first LoJo series by Mike and Jason Armstrong. ![]() As the armor is a tool of the military, it’s a name that obviously carries a lot more of an “oomph!” cachet than the classical “Iron Prometheus.”ĭHC: What’s his connection to Lobster Johnson: The Iron Prometheus?

The first thing to be said about this book is that it is at once a triumph of the biographer’s art and one of the most illuminating studies yet written about a major figure of the modern movement. With the publication of the first volume of John Richardson’s new biography of Picasso, we now have the most complete account of the artist’s early years we are likely to be given for the foreseeable future. The strong should go ahead and take what they want. ![]() Portrait photograph of Pablo Picasso, 1908. ![]() |
