![]() ![]() By spreading the narrative between the characters, Haslett reflects the way John and Michael’s mental illness is something that the family experience together. Haslett shares the narrative between the five family members: John, the father Margaret, the mother and their children, Michael, Celia and Alec. But while it’s a story of grief and loss, it’s equally about love and resilience and edged with hope. Alec’s ominous ‘something’s happened’ casts a shadow over the book no matter what else happens, the reader is going to end up back in the cabin. In the prologue, the reader learns ‘something’s happened’ to Michael while he and his younger brother are staying in a remote cabin, and it doesn’t take long to realise that he’s followed, or at least tried to follow, his father out of the world. It poses the question: what are we willing to sacrifice for those we love. ![]() Imagine Me Gone is the story of a family living with mental illness, first in John, the father, and following his suicide, in his eldest son, Michael. What do you do now? Alec said, Why can’t you start the boat? And Dad said, Imagine me gone, imagine it’s just the two of you. Alright then, he said, imagine something happened and I can’t drive the boat and you can’t start the engine. ![]() He closed his eyes and spoke to us like he did when he was taking a nap, with no expression on his face. Dad lay down in the bottom of the boat, using one of the life preservers as a pillow. ![]()

![]() ![]() Within quotation marks I have retained the capitalization that Hobbes used. Where it is clear that the italics are to indicate the text is quoting, I have introduced quotation marks. I have restricted my use of full capitalization to those places where Hobbes used it, except in the chapter headings, which I have fully capitalized, where Hobbes used a mixture of full capitalization and italics. To deal with these within the limits of plain vanilla ASCII, I have done the following in this E-text. ![]() He also used italics for words in other languages than English, and there are a number of Greek words, in the Greek alphabet, in the text. ![]() To some degree, these margin notes seem to have been intended to serve in place of an index, the original having none. The original has very extensive margin notes, which are used to show where he introduces the definitions of words and concepts, to give in short the subject that a paragraph or section is dealing with, and to give references to his quotations, largely but not exclusively biblical. Hobbes used capitals and italics very extensively, for emphasis, for proper names, for quotations, and sometimes, it seems, just because. I have tried to follow as closely as possible the original, and to give the flavour of the text that Hobbes himself proof-read, but the following differences were unavoidable. ![]() This E-text was prepared from the Pelican Classics edition of Leviathan, which in turn was prepared from the first edition. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Reeves McCullers died in 1953 from an overdose of alcohol and barbituates, an apparent suicide.Ĭarson McCullers' adult life was a mixture of emotional unhappiness and bad health, but with luminous talent she drew upon her empathy and experience to compose resonant, ballad-like stories about the inner lives of marginal, often physically or psychologically scarred characters who were tormented by loneliness. The marriage was a tempestuous one, marked by separations and reunions, divorce and remarriage, alcoholism and suicide attempts. They moved to North Carolina, living there for two years, during which time she wrote The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. There she published her first story in 1936 and, in 1937, married Reeves McCullers, a serviceman and aspiring writer. Unlike O'Connor and Welty, McCullers left the South at seventeen and lived mainly in New York and Paris for all her adult life, yet her settings and characters are frequently Southern.īorn Lula Carson Smith, she moved to New York at seventeen to study piano but ended up studying creative writing at Columbia and NYU instead. ![]() ![]() Carson McCullers is often mentioned in one breath with such preeminent figures of Southern literature as her contemporaries Flannery O'Connor and Eudora Welty. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In my estimation, he shifts the focus from Christ to the Christian, from the objective work of the cross to the subjective work of the Spirit. Yet, not everything about Bock’s book is quite so good. So far, so good: The gospel is a message of the cross and it is also a message of life in the Spirit. And what does Jesus’ work bring? The Spirit and the gift of a personal, loving relationship with the triune God. Accordingly, he describes Paul’s use of the term “cross” in 1 Corinthians 1-2 as a synecdoche “for all that Jesus’ work brings” (3). In his engaging book, it is clear that Bock is seeking to correct the notion that Jesus’ death and resurrection is coterminous with the gospel. Beginning with God’s promise to Abraham, he traces the good news of God from its seed form in “gospel preached beforehand to Abraham” (Gal 3:8) to the fullness of the gospel, the gift of the Holy Spirit in the Gospels, Acts, and the rest of the New Testament. 146.ĭarrell Bock’s book Recovering the Real Lost Gospel advertises itself as a “biblical theology of the gospel” (2).
