With freakish enthusiasm I ran out to grab my copy of the Lego Movie that came out in stores yesterday. I was prepared to stand in a long line of other Lego crazed people like myself. Driving to the store I was worried I would be too late, and my stomach was in knots. I was bound and determined to get that movie. If possible I was going to get a few copies for my friends, but I had little hope I would be so fortunate. When I arrived at the store I was confused… it was empty. No lines, no crazed Lego people. Sometimes I wonder if it’s just me.

Roger DeBlanck
(9 Reviews)
Genre: Literary Fiction
FREE for a limited time
In the spring of 1941, nineteen-year-old John Cooper asks sixteen-year-old Nora Warden to marry him. After she instructs him to “grow up first,” he joins the Army Air Corps. Stationed at Hickam Field, the air base adjacent to Pearl Harbor, John survives the devastation of December 7. The aftermath of the attack only begins his odyssey through the South Pacific, four years that burden him with guilt and shame. Returning home a wearied man, John seeks to start a family with Nora, but the young couple confronts hardships intensified by the harrowing memories both carry from their pasts. Amid the unrest of the Cold War and John’s worries about the arms race, he and Nora find solace in raising their daughter, Cassie. But it is not until the impact of September 11 leaves John’s grandson, Johnny DeRosa, overrun with anguish and despair that John fully comprehends how the sacrifices of his generation will have a profound influence on the decisions his grandson makes.
The Sky Buries All Sorrow is a riveting, momentous novel that bridges Pearl Harbor with 9/11 and examines how those two tragic events changed the world and shaped the lives of one family over three generations. From the pivotal battles in the Pacific to the homesteads outside of Pittsburgh and from the beaches of Southern California to the desert terrain of the Nevada Test Site, it is an unforgettable family saga and an intimate story of personal struggle and the challenges of enduring love. In the same vivid fashion as his first novel, The Ramos Brothers Trust Castro and Kennedy, Roger DeBlanck’s new epic explores the lives of an array of fascinating characters. The narrative also brings back Juan and Alberto Ramos, as the brothers and their father, Florencio, make appearances in The Sky Buries All Sorrow.

Van Gogh’s Inner Struggle: Life, Work and Mental Illness (Secrets of Van Gogh)

If you love Van Gogh you will admire him even more after reading Van Gogh’s Inner Struggle
Everyone is familiar with works such as The Sunflowers and Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh. The intense, vibrant colours and undulating brushstrokes are instantly recognizable trademarks of the artist. If you have visited an exhibition or done a bit of reading, you may also be familiar with the story of his life, which was filled with hardship and sorrow, his love for Japan, and his shocking death. Van Gogh’s Inner Struggle is part 2 of the series Secrets of Van Gogh. Using Van Gogh’s own letters as a primary source, the author discusses the artist’s life, his approach to his work and his mental illness. The letters vividly show his life was no bed of roses.
Whereas Van Gogh knew what was sellable, he continued to produce what he considered as honest, ‘truthful’ art, regardless of current taste. He did not expect the art-buying public to understand the rough appearance of his work. Van Gogh acknowledged that being an artist involved struggle, but believed one would benefit from adversity, personally as well as professionally. “No victory without a battle, no battle without suffering.”
Being an artist involves sacrifices, but in Van Gogh’s case it seems to have involved a never ending battle against poverty, isolation and adversity. Given his circumstances – being financially dependent upon his brother, not selling, and getting minimal recognition – his achievements are utterly amazing.
This is not a book about Van Gogh’s art, but about his life as an artist and human being. By reading it, you should be able to better appreciate and understand his work.
