![]() ![]() ![]() I enjoyed the characters a lot - I just wish they had managed to figure out a few pretty obvious things a little earlier. I did actually love the stereotype busting world of he-men (mechanics, warriors, werewolves) who like to cuddle like puppies in a pack, love ferociously, and explore their feelings - sometimes out loud. On the other hand, if you love action and enjoy a little gay romance / porn, this might be a great book for you! More explicit than I really needed - frankly I would have liked a little warning! The book was also (for my taste), too long and quite repetitive. At first I felt like it was more of a YA book, but about 80% of the way in began some seriously explicit homosexual sex scenes. ![]() It’s action and gay romance (with a capital R). Wolfsong could be simply summed up as a gay “Twilight,” with more emotional depth. The story is interesting and the writing good (I absolutely loved Klune’s “In the Lives of Puppets” which was just released). This about-to-be-reissued book is a story about community, self-esteem, and personal growth carefully hidden within a big action story about Werewolves and a special human who manages to join the pack in a surprising way. ![]()

This short parable was published by itself in Kafka’s life, and later as part of his unfinished novel The Trial. Ben’s despair-maybe even disgust-at having been kept waiting, and his anger at being so facilely dismissed by Jacob, might place Jacob in the role of the mysterious Godot, and hint at both religious and philosophical themes that seem in keeping with Lost’s willingness to grapple with the big stuff, while not being afraid to blow things up.īe that as it may, I want to try to convince you that there’s actually another story that Lost was referencing in those final scenes: Franz Kafka’s short parable, “Before the Law.” It’s really small, just 641 words in the English translation, and it is accessible here. Godot might, or might not, be God, and it’s easy to read the play as espousing a sardonic existentialism not unmixed with religious cynicism. In that play, two characters wait for Godot, who doesn’t show up. Many of us Lost fans have noticed and commented on (both here and elsewhere) the possible resonances between Season Five’s final scenes and Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot. ![]() |
