Aware that she could lose her freedom, and possibly her life, Loup is determined to fight to redress the wrongs her community has suffered. Eventually, the orphans find an outlet for their frustrations: They form a vigilante group to support Loup Garron, who, costumed as their patron saint, Santa Olivia, uses her special abilities to avenge the town. After her mother dies, Loup goes to live among the misfit orphans at the parish church, where they seethe from the injustices visited upon the locals by the soldiers. The "Wolf-Men" were engineered to have superhuman strength, speed, sensory capability, stamina, and a total lack of fear, and Loup, named for and sharing her father's wolf-like qualities, is marked as an outsider. A fugitive "Wolf-Man" who had a love affair with a local woman, Loup's father was one of a group of men genetically manipulated and used by the U.S. military base inside a demilitarized buffer zone between Texas and Mexico. Loup Garron was born and raised in Santa Olivia, an isolated, disenfranchised town next to a U.S.

in them, the language of our sickness was created.” 1 A corresponding effort to understand and explain the Holocaust has proceeded by analogy, pointing out alleged resemblances between what happened in the death camps and other atrocities that have occurred in modern times, or between the Nazi machinery of destruction and the real and sometimes imagined structure of modern life in general. Alvarez wrote in these pages some twelve years ago, specifically about the impact of the Holocaust on literature, the concentration camps “have become symbols of our own inturned nihilism. Throughout every facet of contemporary culture the Holocaust-the systematic murder of six million European Jews under Hitler-has become the particular image for the barbarism of our time, the modern paradigm of man’s inhumanity to man.

The dramatic and spellbinding sequel to Helen Dunmore's critically acclaimed ‘Ingo’. Inkheart is a bit of a mess, with many characters running around interesting, misty Italian locations at crossed purposes while the screenplay struggles to establish the rules of its fantastical premise. Since his big mission is raiding a castle to rescue his family, he could easily whip up some characters like James Bond or Superman to save the day. Its established ‘silvertongues’ are wary of using their power to summon characters (and objects) from books, since a universal balance means that real people (like the hero’s own wife) vanish into fiction to even things up - but the ‘book doctor’ played by Brendan Fraser might solve his problems more swiftly if he read more widely. The central idea of Inkheart - which originates with novelist Cornelia Funke - is irresistible, but the movie is somewhat limited by a hesitancy of imagination (and the spectre of copyright).
