![]() I read the first six books in the Foreigner universe practically back to back, then for some reason completely lost track of the series for over a decade. For some reason, it’s been a few years since I picked up one of Cherryh’s books. I’ve read about three dozen of Cherryh’s novels the only authors I’ve read more individual works by are Pratchett and, maybe, L.E. My history with this series is a bit confused. That’s fifteen books going on sixteen, in case anyone else is in the mood for a nice meaty SF series. When I first read it, some time in the early 2000’s when the series only consisted of six books, I had no idea that this story would turn out to be five arcs of three books each, with the fifteenth novel due out in 2014 and the first book of a sixth arc reportedly in the works. ![]() Foreigner is the opening volume of what has turned out to be C.J. ![]() ![]() ![]() The film received the Special Young Jury Prize at the Malaga Spanish Film Festival. ![]() In 2012, a joint film production of the novel by Spain, Denmark and Mexico was released by Danish film director, Henning Carlsen, and starring Emilio Echevarría, Olivia Molina, Ángela Molina and Geraldine Chaplin.

It has won top honors for play and playwright in a poll of London Theater critics, and in its printed form it was chosen one of the “Notable Books of 1967” by the American Library Association. Its subsequent run in New York brought it the same enthusiastic acclaim, and the play has since been performed numerous times in the major theatrical centers of the world. Tom Stoppard was catapulted into the front ranks of modem playwrights overnight when Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead opened in London in 1967. In Tom Stoppard’s best-known work, this Shakespearean Laurel and Hardy finally get a chance to take the lead role, but do so in a world where echoes of Waiting for Godot resound, where reality and illusion intermix, and where fate leads our two heroes to a tragic but inevitable end.

The dress may have been more than the vaguely 19 th century Parisian society depicted in the book could handle, but someone was less scandalized and more impressed. Of course the dress causes a scandal and costs Frances her job. She spends all night creating a dress that would be plenty risqué on a modern red carpet much less in the historical setting of this story. Make me look like the devil’s wench.” Frances does just that. She tells Frances, “Just make it ghastly.

All “eligible young women” are invited to Prince Sebastian’s 16 th birthday celebration in Paris. ![]() With echoes of Cinderella firmly in place, the story begins with a ball. Perhaps this is a fairy tale that will speak to a new generation. From the prince looking for a wife (sort of) to the magical transformations (in a manner of speaking), the story blends elements of a traditional tale with modern ideas and sensibilities in a way that is every bit as charming and cinematic as the animated fairy tales many grew up watching.
