No longer able to hold the claim that Palestine was ever without her people, Zionists shifted the narrative – through countless films, books, ads – to one that caricatured Palestinians as two-dimensional, irrational Arab terrorists, depictions that still persist in popular media. Only when we organised into armed guerillas and hijacked planes was the world finally forced to reckon with our existence. Palestine already had an ancient, extensive society, and when European Zionists descended on their country, committing well-documented massacres and pogroms to expel them, Palestinians pleaded to the world for help – to no avail. People lapped it up by the millions and refused to accept that it was anything but absolute truth, with Biblical authority to boot.īut it was – as everyone now knows – a lie. It was the romantic happy ending Europe needed following the genocide of its own Jewish citizenry. It narrated a true event (a ship carrying Jewish refugees sailing to Palestine) as the seed of an elaborate myth – a land without a people for a people without a land – which functioned to obscure the indigenous stewards of the land. The result was Exodus, a bestseller turned blockbuster film. In the mid-1950s, powerful Hollywood executives financed the writing of a novel by Leon Uris to sell a pro-Israel agenda to Western popular imagination. Hollywood director Steven Spielberg recently bought the film rights to a novel about “Israel Palestine” before it was published, something that may take us to a cultural moment of unfortunate deja vu. Now Maar is once again advancing on Urtho's Keep, this time with a huge force spearheaded by magical constructs of his own-cruel birds of prey ready to perform any evil their creator may demand of them. He is the fulfillment of everything that the Mage of Silence, the human sorcerer called Urtho, intended to achieve when he created these magical beings to be his champions, the defenders of his realm-a verdant plain long coveted by the evil mage Maar. Courageous, bold, and crafty, Skan is everything a gryphon should be. Skandranon Rashkae is perhaps the finest specimen of his race, with gleaming ebony feathers, majestic wingspan, keen magesight and sharp intelligence. It is an age when Valdemar is yet unfounded, its organization of Heralds yet unformed, and magic is still a wild and uncontrolled force. Sullivan rarely writes gothic, but he doesn't have to - rats bring their own goose bumps. Their behaviour in plague time is as nothing to humans flailing in panic: a needless epidemic was fostered in San Francisco's Chinatown in 1900, when racist politicians, commerce and mistrustful citizens all resisted inoculations: it was 'a standoff of paranoias, a fear face-off'. Fleas take the rap for the Black Death and he reminds us that rats are victims, too. In the aftermath of 9/11, Sullivan notes, the pugnacious New York Post ran frequent rat stories, drawing parallels with hostile foreigners - using rats 'to sell rage and xenophobia'. Bram Stoker's Dracula arrives from the east amid an entourage of dark little scuttlers, and fears around immigration can be shudderingly imaged by a swarm of rodents. Where there are humans, especially garbage-happy urbanites, there are rats, and the New York writer set himself to watch and learn about rat behaviours and thus, perhaps, our own.ĭuring the past two centuries, rats have figured as unpleasant metaphor, especially for unwelcome incomers like the nibbling pests of Hamelin. If I now have a rat, at least I'm better informed about it since reading Robert Sullivan's engrossing (and sometimes plain gross) account of a year spent hanging out in a Manhattan alley. Like him, she's a half-Skaa orphan, but she's lived a much harsher life. Only then does he reveal his ultimate dream, not just the greatest heist in history, but the downfall of the divine despot.īut even with the best criminal crew ever assembled, Kel's plan looks more like the ultimate long shot, until luck brings a ragged girl named Vin into his life. Kelsier recruited the underworld's elite, the smartest and most trustworthy allomancers, each of whom shares one of his many powers, and all of whom relish a high-stakes challenge. A brilliant thief and natural leader, he turned his talents to the ultimate caper, with the Lord Ruler himself as the mark. Kelsier "snapped" and found in himself the powers of a Mistborn. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, the Mistborn series is a heist story of political intrigue and magical, martial-arts action.įor a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. In “Choose Your Own Genetics,” a lesson on blood typing discloses some unsettling news even more unsettling is how the narrator’s respected father, a geneticist, uses his superior knowledge to bully the teacher. When she finally says, “I trust you, Gordon,” he trembles, as if suppressing a scream: “My father’s tone shifted slowly from intimate to false intimate-the voice he used to clinch the bargain with his other customers.” In these stories, trust can create distance as well as closeness, as can the truth. Over several visits, Natalie’s father flirts with an old love, Delia Braithwaite, who’s dying, while ostensibly selling her a headstone. The title story begins with the knockout line: “Nothing sells tombstones like a Girl Scout in uniform”-a mild piece of deception (Natalie, the narrator, is 13 and was never a Girl Scout) that hints at more complicated ones to follow. But his characters, whether a truck driver or a professional folklorist, teenage or elderly, male or female, all tend to come up against a longing for trustworthiness.
