    I Heart Huckabees

    I Heart Huckabees “Nothing’s okay, so it’s okay” was the major turning point for Brad Stand and the existential detectives working on his case. Which in reality makes perfect sense, since life is chaotic and hectic, wouldn’t it be perfectly normal for nothing to be “okay”?

    The Dark Side of the Cross

    The Dark Side of the Cross: Flannery O'Connor's Short Fiction by Patrick Galloway Introduction To the uninitiated, the writing of Flannery O'Connor can seem at once cold and dispassionate, as well as almost absurdly stark and violent. Her short stories routinely end in horrendous, freak fatalities or, at the very least, a character's emotional devastation. Working his way through "Greenleaf," "Everything that Rises Must Converge," or "A Good Man is Hard to Find," the new

    Although the Accidental Tourist Is Apparently a Comedy It Is at Heart a Quite Serious Debate over Competing Views of Life It's Self.

    At times The Accidental Tourist presents its self as a gentle comedy. This is shown by the characters humour: the ineffectual Macon and the Brash Muriel, Edward the Neurotic dog, the eccentric Leary’s and Julian the playboy courting Rose the old fashioned romantic.
