![]() ![]() Saruman and the Blue Wizards were supposed to be in the Second Age according to Peoples of Middle Earth(one of the History of Middle Earth Books) being joined by Glorfindel. We know from the traditional lore that the Istari/Wizards don’t show up till early Third Age, The reason I believe he's already in Middle Earth at the start of the series is because of Celebrimbor's extreme need to build this new fantastical forge in such a hurry. Also, he's known as Annatar the Fair in the Second Age, and Mystery Man doesn't fit the bill in my mind. Were it him, I feel he wouldn't want to announce to the whole world that he's back by crashing to the ground as a falling star. ![]() think he's already in Middle Earth at the start of Episode 1, he's just been in hiding, and still is - to an extent. Landing amidst some Hobbits to befriend, seemingly having some kind of magical influence, beard, etc. But I feel like they're trying *too* hard to make it seem like Gandalf. We know from the traditional lore that the Istari/Wizards don't show up till early Third Age, but they have had to do some time compressing for the show, so that's a monkey wrench. Spoilers Mystery Man!! I've been doing a lot of thinking on that one. House of the Dragon has been pretty darn good so far for me, although that whole marriage debacle had my inner Elliot Stabler all in a tizzy. ![]() ![]() ![]() The girl, 15-year-old Esch, narrates the story, beginning with the grueling birth of puppies to her brother's beloved pit bull, an event that conjures memories of her mother's home delivery and death. ![]() ![]() With neglect that amounts to abuse, the drunken father in 'Salvage the Bones' barely maintains a house for his children - three sons and a daughter - after his wife dies in the birth of the youngest. It is also the story of the heroic stand the family makes against the traumatic thing itself. Ward's novel, a 2011 National Book Award winner and the 2016 Memphis Reads selection, describes the days leading up to the deadly hurricane for a broken family living on the remote edge of a town called Bois Sauvage, Mississippi. 'Narrative ruthlessness' is what she calls her gift for creating visceral fiction from her own experiences. Her father and brother raised and sometimes fought pit bulls, and as a child she saved her own life by repeatedly punching one as it attacked her. She and her family watched from a truck in a field as the Category 5 storm devastated her area of coastal Mississippi in 2005. When Jesmyn Ward writes in 'Salvage the Bones' about the cruelty of Hurricane Katrina or the terror of a pit-bull fight, she's not relying solely on imagination. Jesmyn Ward is the author of 'Salvage the Bones,' this year's Memphis Reads title. ![]() |
