|

Martin in the scope of his vision.
|
|
It's part of the silly fantasy world Trump has erected in which he's King of America, and so saying things like he's going to bring Apple's damn computers home is mostly empty — the same way his pretension that he can just call up world leaders like Frank Underwood and win huge concessions is ridiculous.

|
|
In Sale the excess of imagery leads to a dystopian vision of human experience, partially inherited from Expressionism and the European avant-gardes, while in Stonehouse, a professor of drawing and painting at the University of Wisconsin, the tendency to construct a fantasy world, an alternative to reality, closer to the naive formulations of folklore, seems to prevail.

The story is one of the first that Tolkien wrote when he started dabbling with the larger world as he recovered from the injuries he sustained during World War I.
