Postmodern Deconstruction Madhouse by Peter Quinones Book Review from @kleffnotes

Katherine

Peter Quinones’ Postmodern Deconstruction Madhouse contains a variety of stories and ideas in a loosely connected universe that reads as an experimental examination of human life and culture. When I began reading this work I was intrigued by the variety of relationships discussed within the chapters, but also found myself enjoying the elements of film criticism. Quinones’ scene work, which seems like the best way to describe his chapters dedicated to human interaction, is strong and brings forward vivid images of the characters he creates.  Continue reading “Postmodern Deconstruction Madhouse by Peter Quinones Book Review from @kleffnotes”

Many fans were saddened when Beauty & The Beast ended its run on The CW in 2016. Detective Catherine Chandler and Dr. Vincent Keller enchanted fans with their romance as their love faced dangers due to the fact that Keller’s DNA had been genetically altered by government agency Muirfield in an attempt to create a super soldier government weapon, this caused Vincent to develop”beast-like” abilities. When he saved Catherine’s life, their fates became forever intertwined. We were invited into the world of Catherine and Vincent, their best friends JT and Tess and Catherine’s little sister Heather every week for four seasons. There was always action, adventure and danger.  But above all, undeniable love and loyalty.
