Dark Waters (2019), directed by Todd Haynes, tells the real-life story of how a lawyer, Rob Bilott (Mark Ruffalo), waged a twenty-year battle to hold the DuPont corporation accountable for contaminating a local water supply with carcinogenic chemicals that poisoned tens of thousands of people. While Bilott is ultimately able to achieve some degree of compensation and justice for the victims, the film shows the challenges of litigating against a powerful company bent on denying responsibility and covering up its misconduct.  Timestamps:0:00       Introduction2:35        The origins: a small case for a family friend back home6:24        Teflon and the “miracle” chemical10:24      How attorney Rob Bilott uncovers the pollution13:49      Getting the Taft firm on board21:50      Addressing the legal challenges in the case 24:30     Medical monitoring and causation in toxic tort cases28:36      Divisions in the community, financial pressures, and client management30:30     DuPont's clout35:14       Bellwether trials: trying the cases in court39:44      What the litigation achieved and the continued challenges46:27      The risks of “forever chemicals”49:50      Developments since the film was released55:43      Can the legal system deliver justice?1:01:53    Some further developmentsFurther reading:Bilott, Robert, Exposure: Poisoned Water, Corporate Greed, and One Lawyer's Twenty-Year Battle against DuPont (Atria Books 2019)Carucci, Rob, “Leadership Lessons from Rob Bilott's 20 Year Battle for Justice Against DuPont,” Forbes (July 12, 2021)Nevitt, Mark P. & Percival, Robert V., “Can Environmental Law Solve the ‘Forever Chemical' Problem,” 57 Wake Forest L.

Winner of the National Book Award and now the Pulitzer Prize for fiction, James is a subversive reimagining of “Huckleberry Finn” told from the perspective of Jim, Huck's enslaved companion on the raft ride. Percival Everett tells Robert Kirkwood about the book and reveals he read Huck Finn too many times in the research! We also hear about the science behind James Bond's gadgets and Agatha Christie's poisons with Kathryn Harkup and find some new books in the RNIB Library.

A year ago, Percival Everett published his twenty-fourth novel, “James,” and it became a literary phenomenon. It won the National Book Award, and, just this week, was announced as the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. “James” offers a radically different perspective on the classic Mark Twain novel “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”: Everett centers his story on the character of Jim, who is escaping slavery. The New Yorker staff writer Julian Lucas is a longtime Everett fan, and talked with the novelist just after “James” was released. “My Jim—he's not simple,” Everett tells Julian Lucas. “The Jim that's represented in ‘Huck Finn' is simple.” This segment originally aired on March 22, 2024.

The Drunk Guys have exactly 3.14 beers this week when they read Dr. No by Percival Everett (who won the Pulitzer Prize for James last week). They also won't say No to beer, including: Futurism by Finback, Muley Buck by Kettlehouse, and Silent Night in a New York City taproom

Este conto foi escrito a partir das partidas de RPG na recompensa “The Gamers” dos padrinhos do RPG Next, utilizando o sistema Dungeons and Dragons 5° edição. O cenário utilizado foi o cenário próprio, porém baseando-se em localidades oficiais do sistema, Reinos Esquecidos. Apresentando: Allen Araújo como Coles Law, João Pedro como Percival, Michel Nantes como Hvítur (Branco), Rafael Pieper como Félix, Shoiti como Astarth e Valdo como Nepher. Coloque seu fone de ouvido e curta! ▬ Autor: Herica Freitas. ▬ Narração: Brendo Santos. ▬ Masterização, sonorização e edição: Rafael 47. Contos Narrados apresenta, "BOs Tesouros Perdidos - Capítulo 1 - O Início de uma Jornada", um conto de Fantasia Medieval. Águas Profundas sempre recebe viajantes com suas mais calorosas tavernas. E essa aventura não poderia ter um início diferente do costume: aventureiros tomando um belo copo de cerveja em um estabelecimento do porto. O Cálice Prateado é uma taverna calorosa. Harbek Stonehand, um jovem e muito asseado anão, incomum para sua raça, recebe seus clientes com um farto sorriso no rosto, o que faz da taverna um local muito frequentado. E ali estava um grupo tanto quanto incomum, que por hora ou outra despertava a curiosidade de aventureiros que passavam pelo local. Um meio-elfo robusto e com uma armadura pesada se intitulava Coles Law. Um gnomo, acompanhado de um corvo, curioso e bem-humorado, Félix era sua graça. Um tiefling, calado, bebericava sua cerveja; seu nome era Astarth. E talvez, o mais diferente de todos (até mesmo do tiefling), uma besta meio homem, meio leão, com pelagem branca e presas à mostra: Hvítur, ou simplesmente Branco, como os outros o chamavam. A música era agradável, belas donzelas caminhavam pelo ambiente, a comida era fresca e boa e a cerveja de qualidade anã. O Cálice Prateado possuía uma cordialidade por si só, e não era apenas por Stonehand, mas pelo conjunto de fatores que faziam da taverna um ambiente aconchegante. No entanto, esse cenário se quebrou ao abrir-se uma porta, onde fez-se um silêncio. Um homem, humano, de cabelos e barba brancos, com cicatrizes de batalha e vestimentas de aventureiro, caminhava lentamente entre a porta e o balcão, regado pelo silêncio e olhar de todos que estavam ali. Entre o silêncio e os passos do homem que ecoavam pelo salão, os rapazes ouviram murmúrios de pessoas; elas falavam coisas do tipo: mau presságio, mau agouro, mensageiro do caos e coisa ruim. Até mesmo o taverneiro, que sempre era cordial com os seus clientes, atendeu o homem com a cara torcida, sem render conversa. Félix, que alimentava Jubileu, seu corvo, dirigiu-se até o balcão, na esperança de encontrar alguma pipoca, pois a ave reclamava dos quitutes. — Boa noite! — disse o jovem gnomo ao homem solitário que bebericava sua cerveja.— Noite! — respondeu.— Senhor taverneiro — dirigiu-se a Stonehand — o senhor não teria, por acaso, pipoca? Jubileu não gosta muito de biscoitos.— Mas é claro, meu jovem aventureiro, com sua licença um instante. — Saiu Stonehand. O homem tirou de sua mochila o que parecia ser um diário, pôs-se a escrever algumas palavras enquanto, com o dedo indicador esquerdo, acariciava a borda de seu copo. Félix, curioso com a tratativa ao homem, e também inquieto pela espera, pôs-se a espiar o que ele escrevia. Sem muita classe e sem disfarçar a curiosidade, o jovem gnomo conseguiu identificar palavras em comum relacionadas aos quatro elementos: água, fogo, terra e ar, fora alguns símbolos que ele não entendia, mas que pareciam ser importantes, pois pareciam ter sido reforçados várias vezes. Um a um, Astarth, Coles e Branco se aproximaram de Félix, encorajados pela curiosidade e pela afeição de surpresa que o gnomo fazia ao bisbilhotar as anotações do homem. Não tardou muito até que o viajante misterioso estivesse cercado pelos quatro companheiros. — Então — Astarth quebrou o silêncio — ouvi das pessoas que o senhor é um mau agouro. Você, por acaso,

Spring is in the air—even for Alison in France! Hard to believe it's been over a year since the Simi Valley 50th Anniversary event. It feels like yesterday and a lifetime ago… and we're still recovering. HA! Today, we're diving into our first Season 7 episode recap: The In-Laws—a whirlwind of absurd hilarity starring our favorite duo, Dean Butler and Michael Landon. This episode serves up Pa/Almanzo tension in the silliest way possible, blending slapstick humor with some questionable frontier authenticity (mountains on the prairie, anyone?). Michael Landon's comedic brilliance shines, but let's be real—this episode asks us to completely suspend our belief in historical accuracy. And these days? That kind of creative license wouldn't fly in TV production, which makes us even more curious (and hopeful!) about the upcoming Netflix adaptation. Meanwhile, the 1800s patriarchy is alive and well, as bet-making seems to be totally fine with Ma and Laura. We also have Alison's infamous pickle-and-ice-cream moment, plus Percival and Doc Baker's utterly maddening reaction to her *gasp* gaining weight. Oh, the joys of period-accurate sexism… Other highlights include:Albert rocking some impressive peach fuzzGarvey's return (and a shirtless Andy for all you Teen Beat fans!)The telephone playing a surprisingly important roleAnd seriously—can someone take Mary out to a restaurant for once?!And of course, no chaotic trip to Sleepy Eye would be complete without the comedic genius of Eddie Quillan, who steals the show as Cavendish, Pa's latest nuisance. Dean and Alison also pull back the curtain on the technical side of Little House, dishing about the extensive voiceover work (aka "looping") that was a staple of the show—much to Dean's chagrin. And finally, the real question: Did Michael Landon wax his chest? We get to the bottom of it -- Only on The Little House 50 Podcast, where we discuss the truly important Prairieverse matters!Then join Pamela, Dean and Alison on Patreon!

"Eu sou um com o tabuleiro. O tabuleiro é um comigo. Eu sou um com o tabuleiro. O tabuleiro é um comigo. " - Aurin, enquanto tenta movimentar peças com a mente.

A scenario-based analysis with Cong. Percival "Perci" Vilar Cendaña.

Before his novel Erasure was adapted into the hit film American Fiction, Percival Everett was already one of the literary world's most acclaimed talents, appreciated for his inimitable characters and storylines, as well as his uncommon variety of genres. Since Everett's first novel in 1983, he has been a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, for Telephone, and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize, for The Trees. His newest novel, James, is a reimagining of Huckleberry Finn, and has already been touted as “a canon-shattering great book.” Cord Jefferson made his feature writing and directorial debut with American Fiction, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. His television credits include Watchmen, The Good Place, Succession, Station Eleven, Master of None, and The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore. On June 3, 2024, Cord Jefferson and Percival Everett came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to be interviewed by Jelani Cobb. This program was originally heard in June of 2024.

Novelist Jacinda Townsend and writer James Bernard Short join co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to talk about the movie American Fiction, which is based on the novel Erasure by Percival Everett. Townsend and Short discuss how the film addresses race in the publishing industry via its central character, Black author Thelonious “Monk” Ellison, who tries to make an ironic point by writing a book exploiting Black stereotypes and finds, to his dismay, that it's received in earnest and a bestseller. Townsend and Short analyze director Cord Jefferson's approach and the film's themes of family dysfunction, freedom in storytelling, and the importance of portraying the complexity of Black lives.  To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).

In today's episode, Everett speaks with NPR's Andrew Limbong about why he wanted to reframe the classic novel from the perspective of the enslaved titular character, why he doesn't think of his new work as a direct response to Twain, and why he doesn't buy into the controversy surrounding the original.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

The broad outlines of "James" will be immediately familiar to anyone with even a basic knowledge of American literature: A boy named Huckleberry Finn and an enslaved man named Jim are fleeing down the Mississippi River together, each in search of his own kind of freedom.But where Mark Twain's “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” treated Jim as a secondary character, a figure of pity and a target of fun, Percival Everett makes him the star of the show: a dignified, complicated, fully formed man capable of love and wit and rage in equal measure.In this episode from May, the Book Review's MJ Franklin discusses the book, which was recently awarded the National Book Award, with his colleagues Joumana Khatib and Gregory Cowles.
