![]() ![]() Almost instantly, he-and the reader-become enveloped in the darkness and gloom of the forest. Brown, however, although he continues to think of returning, is determined to depart on this dark road. Much of the power of the story derives from the opening scene of missed chances: Faith, introduced in the second sentence and given the first words of dialogue, leans out the window, her pink ribbons fl uttering, and entreats her husband to stay. Rather than an initiation into manhood, Brown’s is an initiation into evil. When viewed as a bildungsroman, it is one of the bleakest in American fiction, long or short. ![]() Although his meeting with the devil is clear, the results remain ambiguous and perplexing. Brown’s journey to the forest and his exposure to life-shattering encounters and revelations remain the subject of speculation. Undoubtedly one of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s most disturbing stories, it opens as a young man of the town, Goodman Brown, bids farewell to his wife, Faith, and sets off on a path toward the dark forest. ![]() “Young Goodman Brown,” initially appearing in Mosses from an Old Manse (1846) as both a bleak romance and a moral allegory, has maintained its hold on contemporary readers as a tale of initiation, alienation, and evil.

As author Jason Reynolds wrote, “This is about a system that exists within this country that makes our lives seemingly a bit more expendable to the eyes of people in authoritative power who happen, most times, to be white.” This isn’t just about Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, or George Floyd.

Of course, rewriting a page-turner from the past offers some major perils, not the least of them being comparisons to the original. So, too, is the postcolonial spin that Carey puts on Dickens's material: this time around, the prodigal Maggs is perceived less as an invading alien than a righteous (if not particularly welcome) refugee. ![]() The names, it's true, have been tinkered with, but the book's literary paternity is unmistakable. Jack Maggs is a variation on Great Expectations, in which Dickens's tale is told from the viewpoint of Australian convict Abel Magwitch. In this novel, however, Carey has set himself an even more complicated task-reimagining not only a vanished era but one of that era's masterpieces. As a novelist, Peter Carey is hardly a stranger to the 19th century: his Oscar and Lucinda was a veritable treasure-trove of Victoriana. ![]() ![]() Unless all the nations of Roshar can put aside Dalinar's blood-soaked past and stand together-and unless Dalinar himself can confront that past-even the restoration of the Knights Radiant will not prevent the end of civilization.

Yerba Buena is the Spanish name (literally translating to “good herb”) for clinopodium douglasii, a refreshingly-scented herb from the mint family that grows in abundance along the West Coast of North America. ![]() |
