i read a couple of zahlers books over christmas, and while they're actually pretty decent he has two major, and fairly weird obsessions. for one he really really likes to write bad things happening to good people, and worse things happening to bad peeps, and two: he's really, unimaginably obsessed with describing the racial and cultural backgrounds of his characters. he suspiciously often chooses to describe his characters not by their name, or some other 'neutral' descriptor, but purely as their background. "the jew opened his briefcase" etc. slightly sus

I'm frequently reminded of a passage from some early-20th-century book I read in high school (honestly might have been Gatsby???) where a guy walks into a building and notes that there is "a lovely Jewess" sitting at the reception desk

Was it that the woman looked Jewish and if so what that particular appearance was (olive skin, vaguely middle-eastern?), or if she was dressed in a stereotypically Jewish way (Orthodox?), or if all the receptionists were Jewish, or if the narrator could "just tell".

Pepe Silvia Browne posted:e: tbf I haven't seen Dragged Across Concrete yet because it's longer than his other ones You're in for a treat. It's a very tense heist movie and also there's a scene black kids throw their orange soda at a white girl and Mel Gibson is convinced that this is just the kids' way of working their way up to raping her. I don't really support Mel Gibson being cast in stuff but it'd be foolish for me to say that there isn't something added by having this well-known angry old racist man play the role.

I looked it up and this was in fact in The Great Gatsby lmao It was in the office of Meyer Wolfsheim, a(n obviously Jewish) gangster, so the answer to your question is definitely the last one and possibly the last two

I don't know if anyones mentioned this yet, but the threads been on a bit of a Terry Pratchett fixation recently and Humble Bundle has 38 Discworld novels for $18 right now. Worth it for me to have digital copies, especially given the state of my paperbacks. Link

the protagonists are in a bad spot. theyre about to die. suddenly one of them has a flashback. it's the PSH suck zone monologue scene from twister 1. he gets up and moves to the door. "where are you going?!?!" someone screams, barely audible over the sound of wind. "we're going up and out!" he yells back
