Kirie Goshima worries about her boyfriend, Shuichi Saito, whose father is the first to become obsessed with Uzumaki, a hypnotic spiral that steadily influences the foggy town.Ĭombined with Lovecraftian influence and body horror, Uzumaki has been classed as a perfect horror manga by many of its fans. One of Ito’s most famous works is Uzumaki, which tells the story of two teenagers living in the coastal town of Kurouzu-cho. Whether you’re looking for a longer or shorter series, you’ll find plenty to choose from in my selection of Junji Ito’s work. To help you find your next read, I’ve compiled a list of the ten best Junji Ito books. Over the years, he has written other work that uses horror to create a sense of comedy instead. Seeing these influences, he is not solely a horror artist. His works regularly feature body and cosmic horror, with themes ranging from obsession, the loss of humanity, and predator versus prey. He’s won four Eisner Awards for his works, as his horror has resonated with fans worldwide. Junji Ito’s works have been praised over the years, and there have been numerous film and anime adaptations of his work. 1979’s Castle of Cagliostro was a calling card that a talent had broken through the ranks of TV (where he had worked for two decades as an animator), adapting the long-running Lupin the 3rd charater into a rousing, action-packed heist adventure. Though Miyazaki is synonymous with Studio Ghibli, here we’re focusing only on his efforts as a feature film director, which started in earnest even before Ghibli was formed. In fact, there isn’t even anything below 80%! It’s a sign of how far-reaching and influential his works are, made alongside his band of mad, merry animators at Studio Ghibli, whose tales of empathy, kindness, and bravery touch far beyond the borders of Japan.

Scroll through his filmography on Rotten Tomatoes and you’ll find nary a Rotten rating. We see Talia’s parents, Mauro and Elena, fall in love in a market stall as teenagers against a backdrop of civil war and social unrest. How this family came to occupy two different countries, two different worlds, comes into focus like twists of a kaleidoscope. If she misses her flight, she might also miss her chance to finally be reunited with her family. She urgently needs to get out and get back home to Bogotá, where her father and a plane ticket to the United States are waiting for her. Talia is being held at a correctional facility for adolescent girls in the forested mountains of Colombia after committing an impulsive act of violence that may or may not have been warranted. I often wonder if we are living the wrong life in the wrong country. This “heartbreaking portrait of a family dealing with the realities of migration and separation” ( Time) is “a sweeping love story and tragic drama an authentic vision of what the American Dream looks like in a nationalistic country” ( Elle). “A profound, beautiful novel.” - People * “Poignant.” - BuzzFeed * “A breathtaking story of the unimaginable prices paid for a better life.” - Esquire WINNER OF THE 2021 NEW AMERICAN VOICES AWARD, LONGLISTED FOR THE 2022 ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL, A 2022 DAYTON LITERARY PEACE PRIZE FINALIST, AND A NATIONAL ENDOWMENT OF THE ARTS “BIG READS” SELECTION A REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK and INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Allende explores her relationship with her own mother, documented in the hundreds of letters they exchanged since she left home. She writes of her own Chilean childhood, the violent death of her uncle, Salvador Allende, and the family's flight to Venezuela from the oppressive Pinochet regime. Her mother, as she watched by Paula's bedside, began to write this book, driven by a desperation to communicate with her unconscious daughter. In 1991, while living in Madrid with her husband, Paula was felled by porphyria, a rare blood disease, and, despite endless care by her mother and husband, lapsed into an irreversible coma. A magician with words, Allende makes this grim scenario into a wondrous encounter with the innermost sorrows and joys of another human being. Writing nonfiction for the first time, she interweaves the story of her own life with the slow dying of her 28-year-old daughter, Paula. Allende is a mesmerizing novelist (The House of the Spirits The Stories of Eva Luna) who here takes on a double challenge. I encountered my own sinfulness in new ways-I’d always been this straight-A student and church kid, so though I would assent to being a sinner, the darkness in me was mostly theory. In late high school/early college, I began asking a lot of hard theological questions. God was really kind to me as a teenager and made himself very apparent and real to me and took care of me, nurturing me in very clear ways. When I was a little older, through a family move and a tough, dark season in my family, I grew to rely on God in a deeper way. I loved Jesus as a small child and remember singing songs to God on the swing set. I was raised in a Southern Baptist Church and was baptized when I was around six years old. To start things off, where did you grow up and how did your journey of following Jesus begin? She and her husband Jonathan are the parents of two daughters. After eight years with InterVarsity Graduate and Faculty Ministries at Vanderbilt and the University of Texas at Austin, she now serves as Co-Associate Rector at Church of the Ascension in Pittsburgh, PA.
