![]() ![]() When given the freedom, he can be one of the most overheated of directors, but the excess rarely feels cynical or cheap. ![]() I did.īranagh has never been a stranger to bombast, whether he was doing Shakespeare (think of the bellowing portent of Henry V, or the careening cameras and swirling orchestral crescendos of Much Ado About Nothing) or making a period horror adaptation ( Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is so visually histrionic it makes Bram Stoker’s Dracula look like Robert Bresson’s Pickpocket). If you’re still reading this, then perhaps you might enjoy the movie.

In his justice theory, offered as an alternative to the dominant utilitarianism of the times, the idea of fairness applied beyond the individual to include the community as well as analysis of social injustice with remedies to correct it. ![]() ![]() Justice, for Rawls, had to do with fairness-in fact, he frequently used the expression justice as fairness-and his concept of fairness was a political one that relied on the state to take care of the most disadvantaged. He sought not to maximize wealth, which was a utilitarian goal, but to establish justice as the criterion by which goods and services were distributed among the populace. John Rawls (1921–2002) wanted to change the debate that had prevailed throughout the 1960s and 1970s in the West about how to maximize wealth for everyone. It ends with an American political philosopher for whom the equal distribution of resources was a primary concern.

Stiefvater: I love writing for such a passionate audience. Q: What do you enjoy most about writing for young adults (and for those of us adults who can’t resist a good YA read)? My next books are about other magical things altogether. I don’t think you’ll see werewolves from me again after this series. I happened on them by accident, when I was looking for something bittersweet to write about, something about losing your identity. The appeal was slipping something fantastic very cleverly into our world. I was never drawn so much to a complete fantasy world. That you could turn the corner and bam, something strange would be there. I guess I just love that feeling of otherness. Now I’m wanting to re-read! I still have most of my favorites. The Girl With the Silver Eyes, The Castle in the Attic, The Indian in the Cupboard. But I remember all of these great middle grade books that were magic in the real world. ![]() I’m thinking Diana Wynne Jones was possibly the one who first made me fall in love. Stiefvater: Oh, I’ve always been addicted to contemporary fantasy-fantasy set in the real world. What draws you to the fantasy genre in the first place and what inspired you to switch from faeries to werewolves? Q: Shiver and Linger center on werewolves, yet your previous books were fantasy novels focused on the world of faeries.
