The book is a critical look on the complacency and apathy of society as a whole, demonstrating the idiocy of celebrity worship, and a world in which the corrupt politicians and the rich dictate our lives. Our protagonist Marshal Law rounds up and brings the super-humans who violate the law in San Futuro (a post big quake San Francisco) to justice. The story is set in 2020 after a war in The Zone or South America, (an allegory for Vietnam) in which super-humans were created and used. Where Moore showed sympathy for his characters, Mills tears into them with devilish glee. It was like nothing I had read before sure the deconstruction of the super hero in comics had been tackled before, the most notable example being Alan Moore’s Watchmen, but Marshal Law is a whole different beast altogether. However, nothing would prepare me for the shock (or should that be Shocc?) I received when I read Marshal Law for the first time. I’ve been a fan of Pat Mills for a while now, and i would like to think that I was familiar now with his witty, satire and politics laden writing. People can engage with her if she identifies as one thing at a time, but Lorde insists on being a whole human being, offering the entire nuanced package in everything she does making her tough to categorize neatly. I suspect it’s for the very reasons that Lorde suggests in these essays. I looked back in my copy of “The Norton Anthology of Literature by Women” and Lorde was there, about five poems’ worth of her work and a brief bio, but I have no memory of reading her poetry for any class assignments. While reading the chapter “An Interview: Audre Lorde and Adrienne Rich,” I realized that while I was earning my English major, I read plenty of Adrienne Rich, but I don’t recall hearing about Audre Lorde until I saw a quote by her on a poster in the basement of my UU church.

And then, sitting all by herself in the car, she started to cry for the conclusion of her son’s fast childhood.Īt that moment, in the author’s mind, the school was definitely not a subject to be questioned.

Backpack slung over one shoulder, face pressed against the glass where the painted words read “No gum allowed in this building,” Randall made smudges with his mouth and pounded the door with a gloved fist. “Hey, Spagoski!” Randall Fleming yelled through the thick glass doors, startling Miles. He loved his family’s bowling center first thing in the morning, before his dad put the oldies rock station on to play through the crackly speaker system, before pins crashed on lanes 1 through 48, before video games near the snack counter beeped and blinked and beckoned. Miles relaxed, as much as someone like him could relax, onto a stool behind the front counter and kicked off his worn sneakers. Miles Spagoski jogged the four blocks to his family’s bowling center, shivering and imagining ways he might die-a frozen tree limb could crack off and land on his head, a distracted driver fiddling with a car’s heating controls could swerve onto the sidewalk and plow him flat, or, if he was outside long enough, plain old hypothermia could be the end of his short, sad story.īut the moment Miles entered Buckington Bowl, his worries melted away like snowflakes on a warm palm.
