To be frank, this depends on how you define what a sequel is. To begin, I’d like to address the John Grisham fans out there who are wondering whether or not this is really a sequel to A Time to Kill. This rash act raises many questions and pulls Hubbard’s family, his maid and Jake Brigance himself into a very convoluted web of events where every answer gives birth to two new mysteries. Needless to say, that little piece of paper with words on it turns everything upside down, as he suddenly decided to leave virtually all of his fortune to his maid (who is black, which is important in this book’s context) rather than his own family. It wouldn’t all be so bad if it wasn’t for the new will he hastily left behind in his departure. This time around, Jack Brigance finds himself in the middle of a rather peculiar case, certainly no less strange than the last one.Įverything began when Seth Hubbard, a wealthy man dying from lung cancer, decided to hang himself on a sycamore tree. Sycamore Row is yet another legal thriller from John Grisham, and for this one we return to the courthouse in Clanton, previously seen in A Time to Kill. ![]() ![]() When Ada is introduced into London society as a highly eligible young heiress, she at last discovers the intellectual and social circles she has craved all her life.

Nozick's entitlement theory, which sees humans as ends in themselves and justifies redistribution of goods only on condition of consent, is a key aspect of Anarchy, State, and Utopia. To support the idea of the minimal state, Nozick presents an argument that illustrates how the minimalist state arises naturally from a Lockean state of nature and how any expansion of state power past this minimalist threshold is unjustified. In opposition to A Theory of Justice (1971) by John Rawls, and in debate with Michael Walzer, Nozick argues in favor of a minimal state, "limited to the narrow functions of protection against force, theft, fraud, enforcement of contracts, and so on." When a state takes on more responsibilities than these, Nozick argues, rights will be violated. ![]() It won the 1975 US National Book Award in category Philosophy and Religion, has been translated into 11 languages, and was named one of the "100 most influential books since the war" (1945–1995) by the UK Times Literary Supplement.

I met Rufus, a black musician in a relationship with a white woman, when mixed race couples were seen as a betrayal of one’s own kind. He steps in very close to each of them and he delivers interiors so understandable, so very human, that sides cannot be taken and lines cannot be drawn.

It is the rage of James Baldwin’s, Another Country, and it was presented to me in a way I am unlikely to forget.
