5/31/2023 0 Comments Out of Africa by Isak DinesenIsak Dinesen (1885–1962) was born Karen Christence Dinesen in Rungsted, Denmark. I told stories constantly to them, all kinds." Her account of her African adventures, written after she had lost her beloved farm and returned to Denmark, is that of a master storyteller, a woman whom John Updike called "one of the most picturesque and flamboyant literary personalities of the century." She had come to Kenya from Denmark with her husband, and when they separated she stayed on to manage the farm by herself, visited frequently by her lover, the big-game hunter Denys Finch-Hatton, for whom she would make up stories "like Scheherazade." In Africa, "I learned how to tell tales," she recalled many years later. Out of Africa is Isak Dinesen's memoir of her years in Africa, from 1914 to 1931, on a four-thousand-acre coffee plantation in the hills near Nairobi.

Since the Utopia storyline with Norman Osborn’s Dark Avengers, the title has focused strongly on the mutant life on the island and in the greater San Francisco area. Since then this title has been the mainstay of the X-universe and the central part of most storylines from X-Cutioners Song and Fatal Attractions all the way to House of M and the Messiah Trilogy. This epic run ended after editorial disputes in 1991. During his legendary 15 year run he gave us character and stories such as Phoenix/Dark Phoenix, the Hellfire Club, the New Mutants, X-Factor, the Mutant Massacre, Inferno and Jubilee and numerous other historic heroes and events. The title has had many creative influences over the years but Chris Claremont was probably the force that drove the title through many it its historic changes, truly bringing it from “the world strangest teens” into their new status a team of mutants fight in a “world that fears and hates them”. |
