Great book. Thank you

Good story. Had to read this over the summer for school

nice video

"reason", not "reality". In the earliest published versions of the poem, the third line read "bronze distance". However in Stevens's typescript "distance" was originally "décor". Stevens's daughter restored that word to the poem.

I have _loads_ of questions and requests for clarification . Buckle up... 1. Rainsford suggests Ship-Trap Island has cannibaIs. Whitney says hardly. Even they wouldn't live in the place. I don't understand his answer. 2. Rainsford barely/briefly choked and was immediately able to swim with his lungs suddenly fine?? "The cry was pinched off short as the blood-warm waters of the Caribbean Sea dosed over his head. He struggled up to the surface and tried to cry out, but the wash from the speeding yacht slapped him in the face and the salt water in his open mouth made him gag and strangle. Desperately he struck out with strong strokes after the receding lights of the yacht, but he stopped before he had swum fifty feet. A certain coolheadedness had come to him; it was not the first time he had been in a tight place." 3. Is the narrator talking about Rainsford on cliffs the whole time? If so, then wouldn't Rainsford be too high to be "Along the shore"? Here's the full reference: "An unbroken front of snarled and ragged jungle fringed the shore. He saw no sign of a trail through the closely knit web of weeds and trees; it was easier to go along the shore, and Rainsford floundered along by the water. Not far from where he landed, he stopped." and "the print of hunting boots. They pointed along the cliff in the direction he had been going. Eagerly he hurried along, now slipping on a rotten log or a loose stone, but making headway;" 4. Zaroff has a "spare dark face" and the narrator calls it brown later. What is Zaroff's race? He belittled black, white, and mixed-raced people; is he a hypocrite here? 5. If Zaroff bought the island and orders imported champagne, do his clients know about the island's reputation? Wouldn't they report the man suspiciously on the suspicious island. 6. "I went into the army--it was expected of noblemen's sons--and for a time commanded a division of Cossack cavalry, but my real interest was always the hunt." But what does hunting big-game have to do with the army? 7. Zaroff said the "giant rocks with razor edges crouch like a sea monster with wide-open jaws." Doesn't "crouch" imply the rocky shore "moves" to crush the ships? And besides, wouldn't the sailors see the big rocky shore as the ship approaches? 8. I don't understand what Zaroff is saying. ""I don't wish you to think me a braggart, Mr. Rainsford. Many of them afford only the most elementary sort of problem. Occasionally I strike a tartar." 9. Is the dog courtyard directly outside Zaroff's chateau? There's a view of it from the dining room, Rainsford's room, and Zaroff's room. Narrator didn't say Rainsford saw the place from outside the building. 10. How far do you guys think the mainland/town Zaroff mentioned is from his island? He said Rainsford would take a sloop (and agree to keep the island visit a secret).

I love the photos with the story . Good job

RIP Donald Ray Freer.

Nobody ever read to me and because I learned reading quite young I got a passion for books. So it is beautiful to hear this. Thank you, very much from the bottom of my heart. Beautiful. 🥰

Lovely! Actress, as in "best Actress" !

I love this book

This is AWESOME!! thank you!!

I remember the theatre well as a movie theatre (The Bogart) and all. I also knew Joe very well in my years in Sierra Madre. (70s and early 80s) Spent a lot of time with him at the Raven and the various coffee shops in town. He might not even remember me but if you see him tell him I said hello.

I missed this from high school. One of my favorites to this day. Extremely well done reading.

Thank u so much for reading this for free

Wow that’s good

Bring the show to Atlanta, please!

? Pᵣₒmₒˢᵐ

The reality? Or the reason?

Definitely THE show to see, indeed! Frank IS Groucho! Way to go, young man.... one of your biggest fans.

See you February 25th! We're excited that you're here - *live* in person. Welcome to Sierra Madre, Synthia L. Hardy

I loved playing and singing this song in this musical across the us - love your voice Mike!

Currently sharting to this <3

It’s so cool to see how it all works BTS!

Fantastic! It is great to see the "old" volunteers and the new at the Playhouse. It is a fun thing to do, huh? Great job Pamela Winters! Volunteering is fun, huh?

The amazing organization of the volunteers for this production is absolutely amazing! Of course, I've always found the volunteers at SMP to be the best! Peter - I so remember when you joined during The Gin Game!

Such a sweetheart! AND he is absolutely BRILLIANT in this role!

l Great Entries. Very creative. Congratulations all.

So excited to see his performance on Sunday!

Thrilling! Can't wait until we see it on 8/8!

I can't wait to see her as Sally!

Can't wait!

How can I access the first episode ? I missed JLC, but I loved the film. I've always been a big Flower Drum Song fan; so I will naturally be comparing some of the issues as I see the show, between the FDS film and between D.H. Hwang's more recent re make. Since I just saw the Met Opera's Capriccio (a play within a play) I am sure I will be aware of that, too.

Thanks Tim and Christian! Great talk.

What a great guy! Just the kind of person who is a delight to work with!

Just loved this show when I saw it at The Kirk Douglas! Couldn't stop laughing! Can't wait to see what you do with it at SMP!

We are so excited to be seeing you on August 8th!

What wonderful insights into how important lighting is! Thank you, Christian and Derek and can't wait to see your work in YAGMCB!

That was just GLORIOUS! Can't wait to see it!!!!!
