# The Colossus of Maroussi

The Colossus of Maroussi is an impressionist travelogue by American writer Henry Miller that was first published in 1941 by Colt Press of San Francisco. Set in pre-Second World War Greece of 1939, it is ostensibly an exploration of the "Colossus" of the title, George Katsimbalis, a poet and raconteur. The work is frequently heralded as Miller's best.

## Background

Henry Miller left Paris, his home of nine years, in 1939 as the Nazis began to take action in Europe and the outbreak of the Second World War loomed. In need of rejuvenation, he traveled to Greece at the invitation of his friend, British writer Lawrence Durrell, who lived in Corfu. Miller had already published what are considered some of his best-known works, including Tropic of Cancer, Black Spring, and Tropic of Capricorn.
Miller drew his Colossus from events that occurred and landscapes he encountered while living for nine months in Greece. His portrayal of poet Katsimbalis and the country is tempered by the outbreak of the Second World War, which forced him to leave for the United States in December 1939.
Miller largely wrote the book in New York City, and the work reflects his resentment at having to return to America, as well as his feeling of isolation there. Miller recalled, "the whole book came effortlessly, often with tears streaming down my face- tears of joy and tears of sorrow. Never in my life had I had such a marvellous vacation".

## Content

   The light of Greece opened my eyes, penetrated my pores, expanded my whole being.
Miller travels in Athens, Crete, Corfu, Poros, Hydra and Delphi. As he describes these places, he also portrays Greek writer George Katsimbalis (the "Colossus" of the book's title). Among other characters are Lawrence Durrell, his first wife Nancy, and Theodore Stephanides. Some critics argue that the Colossus is more of a self-portrait of Miller himself. The influence of D. H. Lawrence and Ernest Hemingway have been noted.

## Critical reception

Critics consider this to be Miller's best, a view which the author also held. Pico Iyer describes the novel as an "ecstatic ramble". Will Self depicts Miller in the novel as "a relentless fabulist who advances solipsism to the status of one of the fine arts."
# The Colour Album

The Colour Album is the fifth studio album by Norwegian pop rock group Fra Lippo Lippi and the first release after the band severed their ties with Virgin Records.
"Count on Me", "Love Is a Lonely Harbour", and "Mother's Little Soldier" were released as singles to promote this album.

## Production

The album was recorded in Rainbow Studio in Oslo and mixed in Stockholm. The band desired to leave behind the American expression of the previous album and cease the use of "synthetic instruments". Among others, it entailed the use of a string quartet rather than a synthesizer. The goal was to make "advanced pop" for "serious listening", not background listening.

## Sales and charts

According to Natt og Dag [no], the album had sold 3,500 copies in Norway as of 1 February 1990. The album did not chart in the Norwegian VG-lista, unlike Fra Lippo Lippi's previous output Songs and Light and Shade.
Despite a successful tour to promote the album in the Philippines, The Colour Album did not do as well as the band's two previous albums. The band parted ways with The Record Station in 1990 and was considering a breakup, but decided to write songs for a new album instead.

## Reception

Norway's largest newspaper VG gave a dice throw of 4, stating that the album was more accessible than the previous record, but had inferior melodies to Songs. The trend newspaper Natt og Dag published a positive review, whereas the music paper Nye Takter published by Arbeiderbladet gave the album 4 stars and called it melodic, pleasant, charming and "technically perfect". Aftenposten also wrote a favorable review, praising the variation, with some songs having international hit potential and others being "sophisticated" pop. The album contained several moods, good melodies and a personal touch.
Several other critics underlined that Fra Lippo Lippi had returned to form since their previous output. In Drammen, both Drammens Tidende and Fremtiden gave a dice throw of 5.
However, some still criticized the album and the band for lacking identity. Østlendingen gave 3 stars as the reviewer found the album to be middle-of-the-road. Tønsbergs Blad only gave 2 stars, calling it "somewhat tame" and "monotonous at times".

# The Decemberists: A Practical Handbook

The Decemberists: A Practical Handbook is a 2007 film featuring indie rock band The Decemberists. The film includes music videos, a live concert, and documentary footage.

## Content

The documentary section, titled Paris Before the War, concerns the creation and subsequent recording of the band's album Picaresque. It includes both interviews and footage of the band recording, in a church in northeast Portland with Chris Walla producing. According to the documentary, the band has always been particularly enthusiastic about "The Mariner's Revenge Song," which appears on Picaresque and which they often perform at concerts, because it was the only song they were able to record live. Colin Meloy also discusses his previous band Tarkio and his motivation for moving to Portland. Of the song "My Mother Was a Chinese Trapeze Artist," first recorded with Tarkio and re-recorded by the Decemberists for their EP 5 Songs, Meloy says that he wrote it to amuse his girlfriend Carson Ellis.
Another section of the DVD documents an 80-minute live concert at the Roseland Theater in Portland, on November 4, 2005, one of the final concerts of its Picaresque tour. The band played songs from all their albums to date, including "The Mariner's Revenge Song," "The Chimbley Sweep," "The Sporting Life," and "I Was Meant for the Stage." Scott McCaughey guested; Petra Haden, who by that point had left the band, also appeared.
Music videos are included for "The Tain," "Sixteen Military Wives," "The Bachelor and the Bride," "The Soldiering Life," and "Here I Dreamt I Was an Architect."

## Reception

Critical reviews were mixed. The documentary section was described as "dry" and unengaging, and as chronicling "perhaps the least interesting chapter in the band's history"; but also as "cute", "nothing short of endearing" and "rewarding.". Some viewed the concert segment favorably, though others noted that the first half dragged or that the "awkward" and "disappointing" performance was "not, by far, the Decemberists’ best." The music videos, however, were mostly praised. CMJ New Music Monthly criticized the poor-quality editing of the DVD.
# The Clone Codes

The Clone Codes is a 2010 science fiction novel by American writers Patricia and Fredrick McKissack. It is about a girl, Leanna, who lives in 22nd century America where human clones and cyborgs are treated like second-class citizens, and what happens when she discovers that her parents are activists and that she is a clone.

## Reception

Booklist, in its review of The Clone Codes, wrote "The McKissacks' slight story for younger readers packs a great deal of messaging, which will no doubt prove useful in classroom discussions of issues and themes but sometimes comes at the expense of the story. The science-fiction backdrop serves as a framework for issues of identity and societal prejudice but is not predominant in the reading experience." School Library Journal's review was more critical, calling it "A clunky, didactic science-fiction allegory." and wrote "Some aspects of the plot are predictable and poorly drawn .. too many references to the distant past .. prevent the futuristic setting from coming to life." Nevertheless, it did conclude "Still, the fast pace, short chapters, and slim page count will make this volume attractive to reluctant readers, and the obvious curriculum tie-ins will appeal to teachers."
The Clone Codes has also been reviewed by The Horn Book Magazine, Library Media Connection, Voice of Youth Advocates, Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, and Multicultural Review.
It was an Iowa Children's Choice Award nominee.
# Neptune Glacier

Neptune Glacier (71°44′S 68°17′W﻿ / ﻿71.733°S 68.283°W﻿ / -71.733; -68.283) is a glacier on the east coast of Alexander Island, Antarctica, 12 nautical miles (22 km) long and 4 nautical miles (7 km) wide, flowing east into George VI Sound and the George VI Ice Shelf to the south of Triton Point. Although Neptune Glacier is not located within the mountain range Planet Heights, the glaciers name derives from the mountain range along with many other nearby glaciers named after planets of the Solar System. There are also other nearby landforms named in association with these glaciers. The glacier was first sighted from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth on November 23, 1935, and roughly mapped from photos obtained on that flight by W.L.G. Joerg. The mouth of the glacier was positioned in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE). Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for the planet Neptune following a Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) survey in 1949. The head of the glacier was mapped from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947–48, by Searle of the FIDS in 1960.
