'I was told the reason why he hasn't disclosed his medical condition was because he didn't want people feeling sorry for him, or treating him any different,' the source said back then. In August that year, Australia's Network Ten denied off-the-record that Mr Zonfrillo had cancer and a source said he had still told few people about the diagnosis. Mr Zonfrillo did not mention suffering from cancer in his 2021 memoir Last Shot. Mr Zonfrillo had previously been treated for bowel cancer with chemotherapy and radiation and went into remission in 2016. The cancer then returned more aggressively. Daily Mail Australia, which has seen evidence of Mr Zonfrillo discussing the diagnosis with a close friend, contacted the chef and members of his family in August 2021 but received no response. ![]()

Frank Herbert (1920-86) was born in Tacoma, Washington and worked as a reporter and later editor of a number of West Coast newspapers before becoming a full-time writer.

Two years ago, Caro spoke of writing about the year 1967, a time of growing unrest in Black communities and rising opposition to the Vietnam War. Measuring his progress is hard because he doesn't work chronologically. “It is huge,” Caro says of the scale of the final book. The fifth volume is expected to cover Johnson's first full year as president, 1964, and continue through the end of his administration in 1969 and his death four years later. Volume 4, “The Passage of Power,” came out in 2012. Caro, who also wrote “The Power Broker,” has published four volumes of “The Years of Lyndon Johnson” over a period of 40 years. The bad news is that he's known them for years and remains far from concluding his Lyndon B. ![]() Caro's long-awaited next book is that he knows the final words. ![]() ![]() Sally thinks she is an ideal kind of woman-the kind of woman who can steal any man from another woman, but can’t ultimately make him stay with her because once he’s gotten her, he will discover that it isn’t what he actually wanted all along.

Chapter 1, “A Berlin Diary: Autumn 1930,” details life at Frl. Schroeder, Isherwood’s comical landlady, and we get to know the various eccentricities of the other tenants Isherwood shares a flat with in Berlin. ![]() Christopher Isherwood, our narrator, has moved to Germany to work on his novel. As a whole, the novel presents Berlin itself as a character, with its own personality and evolutions. ![]() Each chapter tends to focus on a main character, a particular location, or a certain family, and each chapter is connected to the rest. Goodbye to Berlin’s chapters are divided episodically, rather than strictly chronologically. ![]() ![]() You see, there’s been a rash of murders of pretty, young innocent girls. It is freakin’ hot in the city of Ludlow, but heat isn’t exactly the only unfortunate thing. Friends, I loved every single element of Yovanoff’s latest and am happy to report that she’s one of those authors who has grown over time. I found myself highlighting passages on my Kindle, and hopping onto g-chat to hash out theories and OMGs (Thanks Christina at Reader Of Fictions, you are THE BEST EVER). ![]() ![]() Like, how do I write the best argument possible without going all flailing arms and neon signs on you?

The scene with the man in the dog costume and the man in a tuxedo is the one used to support this theory, which says the dog represents young Danny Torrance (who earlier in the film is shown to have a plush toy) and the man in the tuxedo represents Jack. The abuse part of the story is both physical and psychological: both Wendy and Danny are clearly scared of Jack, even before the hotel’s influence took control of him, and yet they stayed with him.Ī popular theory, and one that has gone very deep into the symbolism of The Shining, says that the film also addresses sexual abuse. Charles Grady killed his family with an axe, and Jack was on track to replicate that. The Shining 's Overlook H otel itself also has a history of cyclical violence: it was built over a Native American burial ground, and its existence is a testament to the violence of colonization. He might have had his anger under control for a while before taking the job, but he went back to it there. Jack is a recovering alcoholic and relapses at the hotel. ![]() ![]() ![]() He works hard on this series now: Alex and the Wolpertinger!
