Clarice Beanová má průšvih - Childová Lauren

Druhý díl volné trilogie. Zkušenost, že pravopis postrádá logiku a že chyba se objeví, ani nevíte jak, mají snad všechny děti. Proč se třeba píše "UŽ", když při vyslovení jasně slyšíte "UŠ". Clarice Beanová je bystré a přemýšlivé děvče, ale s pravopisem bojuje a pravopis většinou vyhrává. A to si ještě paní Wilbertonová, třídní učitelka, vymyslela tu nesmyslnou soutěž v pravopise. Jako kdyby neměla Clarice dost starostí, jak pomoci Karlu Wrenburymu, který žije jen s mámou a ve škole ho pronásleduje právě paní Wilbertonová. Ano, jsou taky hezké momenty, jako třeba když pan učitel Washington Clarice pochválí, že umí psát zajímavé příběhy, anebo když dostane důležitou roli ve školním divadle.

The Dad Rock That Made Me a Woman - Niko Stratis

A memoir-in-essays on transness, dad rock, and the music that saves us. When Wilco’s 2007 album Sky Blue Sky was infamously criticized as “dad rock,” Niko Stratis was a twenty-five-year-old closeted trans woman working in her dad’s glass shop in the Yukon Territory. As she sought escape from her hypermasculine environment, Stratis found an unlikely lifeline amid dad rock’s emotionally open and honest music. Listening to dad rock, Stratis could access worlds beyond her own and imagine a path forward. In taut, searing essays rendered in propulsive and unguarded prose, Stratis delves into the emotional core of bands like Wilco and The National, telling her story through the dad rock that accompanied her along the way. She found footing in Michael Stipe’s allusions to queer longing, Radiohead’s embrace of unknowability, and Bruce Springsteen’s very trans desire to “change my clothes my hair my face”-and she found in artists like Neko Case and Sharon Van Etten that the label transcends gender. A love letter to the music that saves us and a tribute to dads like Stratis’s own who embody the tenderness at the genre’s heart, The Dad Rock That Made Me a Woman rejoices in music unafraid to bare its ...
