In September, 1922, the internationally known British writer D. H. Lawrence arrived with his wife, Frieda, at the railroad station in Lamy, New Mexico. They had traveled from Australia to San Francisco, then to Lamy, to come to Taos at the invitation of Mabel Dodge Sterne, later Mabel Dodge Luhan, the patroness of arts and culture in Taos. It was the beginning of an intense, sometimes strained, relationship. Mabel, daughter of a well-to-do Buffalo, New York family, had a long history of cultivating arts and letters, surrounding herself with famous artists and writers in her salons in Florence, Italy and in New York City. She continued her support of literature and the arts in Taos. Lawrence encouraged Mabel to write about her own exciting life and, while back in Italy in 1925, continued corresponding with Mabel and edited manuscripts she sent to him. Her book, "Lorenzo in Taos," is written loosely in the form of letters to and from D. H. Lawrence, Frieda Lawrence, and Robinson Jeffers, the celebrated poet who had been a guest of Mabel's in Taos, with references to Dorothy Brett and Spud Johnson among others. The book is a highly personal and most informative account of an intense relationship with a great writer. It is an important work and its reprinting is welcomed by scholars and those of us who have come increasingly to respect Mabel's contributions in the world of arts and letters through her support of many individuals and her own creative spirit. Born in 1879 to a wealthy Buffalo family, Mabel Dodge Luhan earned fame for her friendships with American and European artists, writers and intellectuals and for her influential salons held in her Italian villa and Greenwich Village apartments. In 1917, weary of society and wary of a world steeped in war, she set down roots in remote Taos, New Mexico, then publicized the tiny town's inspirational beauty to the world, drawing a steady stream of significant guests to her adobe estate, including artist Georgia O'Keeffe, poet Robinson Jeffers, and authors D. H. Lawrence and Willa Cather. Luhan could be difficult, complex and often cruel, yet she was also generous and supportive, establishing a solid reputation as a patron of the arts and as an author of widely read autobiographies. She died in Taos in 1962.Binding Type: Paperback

pretty funny for a 39 year old, but...
Format: Kindle
I loved the premise of a "middle aged" hitman turning into a middle school boy, but there are some iffy bits for teens.
When a divorced, middle aged hitman is turned into a middle school boy, shenanigans happen.
I'm not sure if Kill Blue is a dark crime or school life comedy manga; I think it's a bit of both.
The author does a great job portraying how adults see the current generation, obsessed with social media, etc. I loved how our grouchy, introverted ML starts to love learning, and begrudgingly becomes more social. He has a typical goofy sidekick and other side characters. The FL is a beautiful (?) middle school girl who keeps being hassled by teen boys and enemies of her father, and the ML reluctantly steps in to help.
If you like this kind of manga, I'd recommend Sakamito Days, where the ML is already happily married.
********Spoiler Alert*********
The whole idea that " I'll have to marry a middle school girl", when I'm really a 39 year old man is creepy. Even if the 39 yr old is in a middle school body. If this manga turns into a long series, and his character marries the girl, it will still be creepy. That's my parental concern.

Fun series starter
Format: Kindle
This was fun. Juzo Ogami is 39, legendary assassin and a divorced father of one. A bee sting transforms his body back to a 13-year-old’s, so his boss sends him to scout a middle school for his daughter—as a student there.
It’s not easy for Ogami, who is a school drop-out and doesn’t know how to talk to children. On a first day, he’s pegged to be the class loser. But to his surprise, he discovers he loves learning. If only he could study in peace, but all sorts of pervs and kidnappers disturb the students and he has no choice but to step in. Anonymously.
The real trouble begins when the scientist trying to find a solution to his age problem—his ex-wife—learns that to infiltrate the pharmaseutical company responsible for the age drug, Ogami needs to marry the owner’s daughter, who just happens to be his classmate. No way is he going to date a girl the same age as his daughter, not even to save her from worse suitors. Right?
This was a fun start to a series. Ogami was slightly different age-change protagonist with his world-weariness and clear understanding of what is appropriate for someone his age. He changes a lot during the first volume already. It will be fun to see where that’ll lead. Art was good.

Eagerly await volume 2
A Jeff Lemire read is worth its weight in gold.with a unique style to the artwork and the building of an intriguing story its a wonderful graphic novel trip.
The main character is returning home to help care for mother who has cancer.Theresa(the main character) comes to find there is more at home than just her mother that needs her.Theresa tries to help out with her mother's business.her mother appears to be one of scam fortune tellers but like any good Jeff Lemire read nothing is what it seems.
Fantastic beginning and I've already pre-ordered volume 2.Also if your reading Phantom Road pay attention because you will notice something oddly familiar....
