Leading archaeologist Francis Pryor retells the story of King Arthur, legendary king of the Britons, tracing it back to its Bronze Age origins. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He revisits this theme repeatedly, with each character facing dilemmas regarding societal and personal rules that are difficult to reconcile in the given situations. Irving weaves a strong moral into this story that rules need to be questioned and that being human is not so easily codified. This was all accomplished without sacrificing the philosophical and emotional depth Irving imbues in all his works. This film was a comedy, a tragedy, a romance, a human-interest story, a character study, and a period piece, and each element was excellently done. Often, when a story attempts to cross genres so broadly, it fails from lack of depth or insufficiency of the writer or director to meet the variable demands of such a wide-ranging treatment. It is poignant, exhilarating, and astutely human in its scope, presenting a myriad of human emotions and experiences. John Irving's novel and adaptation is one of the most complete stories I can remember in many years. Nineteen ninety-nine was an outstanding year for adaptations of major literary works, but of all the great books that came to the screen last year, this is my favorite. ![]() ![]() ![]() IQ finds his investigation encompassing much more than he bargained for.

The structural “invisibility” of liminal personae has a twofold character. A society’s secular definitions do not allow for the existence of a not-boy-not-man, which is what a novice in a male puberty rite is (if he can be said to be anything). As members of society, most of us see only what we expect to see, and what we expect to see is what we are conditioned to see when we have learned the definitions and classifications of our culture. The subject of passage ritual is, in the liminal period, structurally, if not physically, “invisible”. They also concern entry into a new achieved status, whether this be a political office or membership of an exclusive club or secret society. Rites de passage, too, are not restricted, sociologically speaking, to movements between ascribed statuses. ![]() ![]() ![]() as van Gennep, Henri Junod, and others have shown, rites de passage are not confined to culturally defined life-crises but may accompany any change from one state to another, as when a whole tribe goes to war, or when it attests to the passage from scarcity to plenty by performing a first-fruits or a harvest festival.

While the book does describe his experience, it does so in the context of what was happening in his life and recovery outside of the spiritual experience itself. Black's decision, instead, to try and live out his experience privately for forty years means that this book is interested more in the question of what to do now.
