My ideas for

a proper commemorative edition of

The Princess Bride By the immortal S Morgenstern

Where did this idea come from? Well, in 2017 my cousin worked at HarperCollins, and she very kindly gifted me with a copy of their commemorative, Deluxe Edition of The Princess Bride by William Goldman. This edition.

And did I love it?

In short, Reader, No.

The faux leather cover did not match the gold foil, calligraphic font on the front. The artificially ragged edges of the paper made it harder to turn the pages than it should have been. The illustrations by Michael Manomivibul? Well, he can do very good work, but this wasn't a great example of it. I found the watercolors anemic and uninspired. Were those just plain stock photographs as chapter headers, blurred at the edges in Adobe Photoshop? Did anyone even care about William Goldman's hot fairy tale and the best formatting to frame its content???

In short, I thought it was a poorly designed "Deluxe Edition" for one of my favorite books.

So I hammered out a rough idea--- if I were the one in charge of making a Deluxe Edition of The Princess Bride, and let's say my budget was quite unlimited--- what would be my ideas?

Reader, the answers are under the cut. no images.

I think the endpapers should have a floral design, or better yet, a diamond pane pattern that alternates wristwatches and buttercups.

I think in the margins, the reader should get clues as to who is speaking at a given time. If the speaker is S Morgenstern, in the body of the story, then a little buttercup indicates that we're in the fairy-tale world. If the speaker is W Goldman, acclaimed Hollywood screenwriter, then the symbol in the margin is a wristwatch. Mundane and utterly out of place in Florin or Guilder.

I say we get some additional writings in there, by other writers who are game and eager to play in Goldman's metatextual sandbox. Stephen King is alluded to a great deal in the opening of Buttercup's Baby... Can we get Stephen King to wax poetic about his proud Florinese heritage? Naomi Novik pulls on her heritage to present the Guilder side of the story (that bald princess will get her due one day! What's her name... Noreena! Yeah!) The authors use that same tongue-in-cheek academic tone that Goldman uses, but of course each author brings their unique touch. Lean on that text-within-a-text aspect. 

Each chapter gets a full-color, full page illustration, which is done by Trina Schart Hyman.

Okay, yes, Hyman has passed away, but she remains the perfect choice for this project.

Why Trina Schart Hyman? Her illustration style is perfect fairy tale, bright and colorful, but also remarkably grounded. There’s dirt on the hems; long hair catches in the wind; a farm girl is beautiful when she carries buckets of milk; oh, the exhausted slouch of the wicked queen over her wicked grimoire. That fantastical yet human approach is perfect for The Princess Bride.

And there's more meta-historical details. After all, we're pretending this is all verifiable Florinese fact. So you can just imagine the illustrations we can weave into the text---

Official royal portraits of King Lotharon and Queen Bella and of course, Prince Humperdinck

A diorama of the doorknob with the tiny deadly little spider

Preserved as if in da Vinci's notebook, we find the Six-Fingered Sword and the glove left at Domingo Montoya's shack, left behind by the six-fingered man

Hats flying in the Great Hall during the disastrous dinner with Princess Noreena

Diagrams of the Machine

Valerie's recipe for hot chocolate

But there's one gap in the historical record, one that's just a tad important to the thesis of the book--- no firsthand portraits survive of Princess Buttercup. Perhaps Humperdinck ordered them all destroyed, or else the paintings were coveted for the overwhelming beauty shown in them, and were sold to the farthest corners, to the fabulously wealthy.

No original paintings of Buttercup survive. We can have copies of copies of copies--- (one in a Baroque style, one in a medieval style, you get what I'm laying down) and the copies don't really resemble each other, so the reader will never know what precisely Buttercup looked like.

And the ideal would be, an afterword by W Goldman (yes, he's dead too, and trust me I miss him an awful lot) where he put a proper cap on the world of Florin and Guilder (and Hammersmith). And a painting of the dread ship Revenge setting sail to a horizon where the clouds are clearing away.

Yes, that would be a pretty good edition of The Princess Bride.

ok so I have this idea for the longest time please hear me out. brandon/adam (I’m lost but u can’t tell me you aren’t as well) both of them are hockey players but Brandon is secretly an acclaimed author (zach hyman vibe) and his latest book is an experiment with poetry and of couse it’s about Adam, can’t blame the guy. BUT imagine when somehow the secret is revealed and Adam gets suspicious after all of his friends tell him to read it and he caves in and reads all of Brandon’s books.

(pt. 2) AND he finds out he somehow always ends up being an important character in every single one, but full on freaks out when he realises the whole book of love poems are describing HIM! anyway that’s all I’ve got but it fits well with 33.hide so I’m curious about what are your feelings about this

-

yes yes YES i love it! i agree brandon/adam have stolen my heart and this is such a lovely trope. i’m such a slut for the dramatiques so this is wonderful. i hope you don’t mind if i write a little smth for it, since it really DOES fit so well with 33 :)

33) hide

-

 Seriously, when Brandon had come out as this Y/A writer, it kind of rocks the whole team’s world. Of course, it was never that they found Brandon incapable of being a writer, but it certainly in a million years would never have been anyone’s guess at his secret talent. Between all of the stress baking and hockey, everyone had been baffled as to where he had found the time to write whole fucking novels. Especially when, in the thick of the season, the common perception is that Brandon and Adam have a combined total braincells of negative four. They tend to be associated with each other.

 Mark is the first one to finish reading the bulk of Brandon’s repertoire, two novels and his latest publication, a poetry book, and as soon as he’s done, he’s leaving the books in Adam’s stall with a little post-it note telling him that he has to read it.

 Adam has never been a big reader, admittedly, he had relied on SparkNotes religiously all through school and wasn’t one to read for pleasure. However, he really is curious to see what Brandon even wrote about, and he was eager to be a supportive friend. He picks up the first book on an off-day where Brandon had obligations and couldn’t be around to entertain him, so he curls up on the couch and reads while listening to the rain thump against the windows in a slow pattern. He finishes it before dinner, wrapped up in every single word spinning off the page, building an entirely different universe inside his modern apartment. Adam can hear Brandon’s voice in each word, telling of his protagonist’s adventures.

 It’s kind of fun, Adam realizes, as he uncovers relationships between the side characters and their teammates, it feels like a private look into the story that Brandon’s other readers wouldn’t get. Something unnecessarily warm settles in between his ribs. One of the characters, the one who actually holds the key to the climax of the story and is far more important than the reader would have been expecting, is based off of him, he thinks. Adam only puts it together at the end. The way Brandon describes him, things that Adam wouldn’t think to notice about himself even, makes the heat build in the tips of his ears. He finishes the book and slams it closed, dropping it onto the coffee table with a pounding heart, and goes for a run to process it all. It’s oddly flattering.

 “I read your book, the one about the spies.” He tells Brandon, one day over lunch, taking a bite of his sandwich like it hadn’t unearthed a whole plethora of repressed feelings that Adam hadn’t though would resurface. Brandon goes pink in the cheeks, stirring his soup with his spoon.

 “You can read?” Brandon bites back, but the anxiety under the flat, sarcastic lilt of his voice is easy for Adam to pick out. He worries his bottom lip between his teeth, watching him carefully across the table through dark eyelashes. The dim, yellowed light is casting perfect shadows over his face and makes him look unfairly good. Brandon always looks unfairly good. Adam kicks him under the table.

 “Shut up, asshole. I was gonna say that I really liked it.” He defends mildly, through a smile. Brandon catches his foot between his ankles, and keeps it there. Adam doesn’t make any struggle to pull away. “My favorite was Andrew, naturally.” Brandon goes a dark red, eyes widening and returning to the perpetual hooded look that they always seem to have so fast that Adam thinks he might’ve imagined it. He steels his expression and shakes his head.

 “Narcissist.” He sighs, and Adam retaliates with another kick to the calf with his free foot. Brandon laughs, and scoops baked carrots and peas into his mouth.

Adam starts on the poetry book last, which takes him the longest. It’s a combination of the hustle and bustle of the season as it progresses, and the required amount of brainpower it takes to understand poetry. Adam has never been a poetry guy, but there’s something in Brandon’s words that roll off the page like silk and breeze through his chest like a breath of fresh air. They’re shockingly emotional, more than Brandon has showed in person during all of their years of friendship combined. It’s beautiful.

They’re flowery and reflective and simple, but the ones that stick with Adam the most are the heartbreaking stanzas of unrequited love. Brandon does say in the forethought that not all of the poems are of personal experience, but these feel so real that it’d be near impossible to fabricate them. The one he’s stuck on at the moment is one of these pages that tug at the heart strings and make Adam a little dizzy. He’s sat against the headboard with the book in his lap as he tries to make sense of it. Brandon exits the shower, perfect and naked and dripping pearls of water that absorb into the towel around his waist, and flushes all over when his eyes land on Adam. The pink spreads deliciously down his chest and Adam wants to bite him.

 “Shit, don’t read that around me.” Brandon grumbles, moving towards his suitcase to dig out some clean clothes. Adam reluctantly averts his gaze and discards the book onto the bedside table.

 “It’s- you don’t have to feel weird about it, or anything. You’re really good, man. I didn’t know you had all of those emotions in there.” Adam tells him, tapping his own chest. Brandon shrugs, pulling a shirt over his head that falls loosely over his shoulders, baggy around the elbows. He drops down onto the bed next to him and Adam pretends not to stare at the way his thighs strain against the fabric of his briefs. “I mean, shit. Those love poems, wow. She must’ve really broken your heart. Why didn’t you ever tell me?” The pronouns feels awkward and bitter rolling off of his tongue and he doesn’t know why. It leaves his chest aching.

 “Yeah, uh, I don’t know. Kind of sucks to bring up, you know? It never could’ve worked.” Brandon pauses, hauling a slow breath through his nose. “He’s too good for me anyway.” Adam blinks, trying to process the words coming from the other side of the bed. He suddenly feels all turned around.

 “Brandon I’m- fuck, I’m sorry. That’s shitty. No way he was too good for you, though. You’re-” Perfect, he wants to say. “-great.” He drops a hand to the side of his face, stroking his thumb gently over Brandon’s jaw. The pad of his thumb just barely grazes the corner of his lips. “Who-”

 “They’re about you, Adam.” Brandon says at the same time, squeezing his eyes shut. He sounds like he’s swallowing around a golf ball stuck in his throat and his face is turning a splotchy pink. Adam’s hand stills, heart stopping. There’s just no way, no way that someone could wax so poetic about him like that. Especially not his teammate, his liney, his best friend. He feels like he can’t breathe, the only thing grounding him is the sounds of the mattress creaking as Brandon sits up. Finally Adam’s brain starts working again, he reaches out to grab his wrist.

 “You fucking sap,” is all he’s able to get out before he’s pulling Brandon in for a bruising kiss, hands holding on like he’s the most precious thing in Adam’s world. He probably is.

Book Rec: Hilda Schiff’s Holocaust Poetry

What should I tell you about this one except it’s damn great and you should check it out? 

Well, to start it off, I happened on this one by accident. I was taking my sister to physical rehab for her arthritis and as I was waiting for her to finish her session, I visited a book cafe nearby to pass the time, and that’s where I found this little gem sitting in a corner sandwiched in between some collection of asinine ‘roses are red, violet are blues’ variety and a secondhand copy of Beowulf. The title called out to me, and so I picked it up, checked out a few random pages, and just like that I was hooked. I walked out of that book cafe 20 minutes later with a buy I never intended on when I walked in. 

Now, I’m very picky about my poetry. I’m not one of those souls that like to wax lyrical about nonsensical pretentious fluff. Poetry, to me, should be the fire grenade of the written arts. It should be precise, succinct, and packed full of emotional fire power. It should be full of substances, full of soul and meaning. You don’t just pack a sentence full of pretty words and call it poetry. Poetry should be a demonstration of sublime minimalism. Each and every word has to be intentional and calculated for maximum effect. Unlike novel or other long prose forms, poetry requires extreme precision and excellent command of rhythm and vocabulary. There is nothing to hide behind, no long running sentence or wordy soliloquy to conceal a flimsy command of the writing crafts. Truly great poetry is all about capturing those crystallized moments of humanity: our triumph, our sorrow, our greatest high, and lowest low. 

Well, this book is a collection of 119 poems from 59 different poets, some of whom were writers for life and some because they were horrifically brutalized by the Holocaust and needed a way to make meaning of the world again (with a handful of poems being unfinished and left behind by people who might have been dragged away in the midst of leaving their messages). So I won’t tell you that this poetry book hits that high mark of my expectation 100%, because there’s a definite variation in the quality and skill. However, what I’ll tell you is that each and every one of these poems are raw, and real, and charged with emotions born from having survived, witnessed, partaken, or fundamentally affected by the Holocaust, and that in itself is a quality of its own. 

The book itself is divided into 7 sections: alienation, persecution, destruction, rescuers / bystanders / perpetrators, second generation, lessons, and finally god. Each section comprises of poems that mirror different perspectives, frames and states of mind, with the final section, god, being the part where holocaust survivor poets attempted to find meaning and belief again after such a horrific event.  

Below, I will give you a few of my favorites:

The way of killing men and beasts is the same

I’ve seen it: 

trickfuls of chopped-up men

who will not be saved.

Ideas are mere words:

virtue and crime

truth and lies

beauty and ugliness

courage and cowardice. 

Virtue and crime weigh the same

I’ve seen it:

in a man who was both

criminal and virtuous.

I seek a teacher and a master

may he restore my sight hearing and speech

may he again name objects and ideas

may he separate darkness from light,

I am twenty-four

led to slaughter

I survived.

How Do I Know If I’m Eating Enough Healthy Fat?

  “Dr. Hyman, how do I know if I’m eating enough fat?” a reader recently asked me. This is an excellent question and one of my favorite subjects because I wholeheartedly believe eating the right amount and type of fat plays a crucial role in shaping health and well-being.

Doctors, patients and readers are often completely confused about fat, clinging to myths and misinformation that prevents them from understanding the latest science to lose weight and achieve optimal health.

You’re familiar with many of these myths: Fat makes us fat, fat contributes to heart disease, and fat leads to obesity. Saturated fat is bad, while vegetable oils are good.

Simply put, these and other fat myths are big fat lies. Thankfully, the importance of fat is finally starting to catch on.

I’d like to think I played a part in this revolution. My latest book, Eat Fat, Get Thin, came out earlier this year.

In this book I combined the latest research with my own personal experience – based on decades of empirical evidence working with patients – to prove what I’ve long known: The right fats can help you become lean, healthy and vibrant.

Fat is one of the body’s most basic building blocks. In fact, the average person is made up of between 15 and 30 percent fat.

Yet for decades, we’ve demonized dietary fat. We’ve diligently followed low-fat diets that almost always equate into high-sugar, high-refined carb diets. This diet contributes to insulin resistance, obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and many other health issues. 

The higher the fat quality, the better your body will function. Stop and think about it: You have more than 100 trillion cells in your body, and every single cell should be constructed of high-quality fat.

How do you know if your cells are getting enough vital fat? Your body actually sends you signals when it doesn’t get enough good fat. Never ignore the signs your body is giving you. Some warning signs include:

Dry, itchy, scaling or flaking skin

Soft, cracked or brittle nails

Hard ear wax

Tiny bumps on the back of your arms or on your torso

Achy and stiff joints

Memory problems

Attention deficit disorder (ADD)

Diabetes

Weight gain

Cancer

Dietary fats are absolutely essential for health. Obviously you want to add more of the right fats to your diet. To do this, you need to know which ones to eat and which ones to avoid.

Most people label all fats as bad and lump them all together in a box. The truth is that all fats are not created equal. There are good fats, questionable fats and bad fats. Our government, media, scientists and doctors have advised us to eat the wrong types of fats for too long.

Building the body from the inside out is exactly like building a house. You can frame the house with the cheapest materials possible or you can invest in high-quality materials that are going to be energy-efficient and last a really long time.

When you eat the wrong fats, you’re using cheap materials and the results won’t be good. Most processed foods on supermarket shelves are made with poor-quality omega-6 fats from refined, processed vegetable oils. They are abundant, very cheap, taste good and improve texture.

The next time you’re in the supermarket, take a close look at the ingredient list of your favorite packaged food. If the list includes oils from corn, soy, cottonseed or safflower, you are getting a poor-quality fat.

When you consume these subpar fats, your cell walls also become subpar. Instead of being flexible and responsive to intercellular communication, cell walls become stiff and rigid. The more rigid the walls, the slower the cell functions and more vulnerable it becomes to inflammation.

You want to ensure your body has the fats it needs to construct high-quality cell walls. That means eating more omega-3 fats. Cell walls made from omega-3 fats are more flexible, which allows cells to respond more quickly to messages.

These “good” fats also help your body produce prostaglandins otherwise known as the hormones that cool off inflammation.

Optimal sources of omega-3 fats include small cold-water fish like wild-caught salmon, sardines and herring, organic flax and hemp seed oils, walnuts, Brazil nuts and sea vegetables.

Scientists suspect that early humans ate almost equal amounts of omega-6 and omega-3 fats. Our hunter-gatherer human ancestors got healthy omega-6 fats from seeds and nuts. They got their omega-3s from eating wild game and fish as well as foraging for wild plants.

As people began to refine oils from plants, the ratio became skewed more toward omega-6 fats. This created a drastic imbalance in the modern diet, making us more vulnerable to diseases such as cancer and heart disease.

When the human diet contained a balanced number of omega-3 and omega-6 fats, heart disease was almost nonexistent. Today, cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in the world.

The more omega-3 fats you eat, the easier your body can cool off, which means less inflammation that forms the root of nearly every chronic disease, especially those impacting the brain and the heart.

The brain is completely dependent on these high-quality fats. In fact, it is made up of 60 percent fat. High-quality fat boosts cognition, happiness, learning and memory. In contrast, studies link a deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids to depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and even violence. 

Your heart will also thank you for eating more omega-3s, which help lower levels of bad fats (triglycerides) and raise levels of good fats (HDL). Omega-3 fats make blood more slippery, reducing the likelihood of artery disease.

Beyond nourishing your heart and brain, eating the right fats helps you shed fat. Paradoxical as it sounds, not eating fat or eating the wrong types of fat make you gain weight.

That’s because healthy cell walls made from high-quality fats lowers blood sugar and insulin levels, meaning you’re more likely to burn than store fat. Consuming healthy fats also helps us absorb the important fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.

Besides eating plenty of wild, fatty fish, optimize your fat intake with nuts and seeds, coconut oil, grass-fed butter (or ghee if you’re dairy sensitive), avocados, grass-fed meats, extra-virgin olive oil and olives.

If you’re still curious about whether you’re getting enough fat in your diet, take this quiz. If you’re not getting enough fat, or if you’re ready to kick-start your health in the new year, I highly recommend joining our Eat Fat, Get Thin January Challenge. Thousands of people all over the world have completed this program, and the results have been astonishing. If you’re tired of typical calorie-deprivation diets that don’t work, this is the program for you.

How Do I Know If I’m Eating Enough Healthy Fat?

  “Dr. Hyman, how do I know if I’m eating enough fat?” a reader recently asked me. This is an excellent question and one of my favorite subjects because I wholeheartedly believe eating the right amount and type of fat plays a crucial role in shaping health and well-being.

Doctors, patients and readers are often completely confused about fat, clinging to myths and misinformation that prevents them from understanding the latest science to lose weight and achieve optimal health.

You’re familiar with many of these myths: Fat makes us fat, fat contributes to heart disease, and fat leads to obesity. Saturated fat is bad, while vegetable oils are good.

Simply put, these and other fat myths are big fat lies. Thankfully, the importance of fat is finally starting to catch on.

I’d like to think I played a part in this revolution. My latest book, Eat Fat, Get Thin, came out earlier this year.

In this book I combined the latest research with my own personal experience – based on decades of empirical evidence working with patients – to prove what I’ve long known: The right fats can help you become lean, healthy and vibrant.

Fat is one of the body’s most basic building blocks. In fact, the average person is made up of between 15 and 30 percent fat.

Yet for decades, we’ve demonized dietary fat. We’ve diligently followed low-fat diets that almost always equate into high-sugar, high-refined carb diets. This diet contributes to insulin resistance, obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and many other health issues. 

The higher the fat quality, the better your body will function. Stop and think about it: You have more than 100 trillion cells in your body, and every single cell should be constructed of high-quality fat.

How do you know if your cells are getting enough vital fat? Your body actually sends you signals when it doesn’t get enough good fat. Never ignore the signs your body is giving you. Some warning signs include:

Dry, itchy, scaling or flaking skin

Soft, cracked or brittle nails

Hard ear wax

Tiny bumps on the back of your arms or on your torso

Achy and stiff joints

Memory problems

Attention deficit disorder (ADD)

Diabetes

Weight gain

Cancer

Dietary fats are absolutely essential for health. Obviously you want to add more of the right fats to your diet. To do this, you need to know which ones to eat and which ones to avoid.

Most people label all fats as bad and lump them all together in a box. The truth is that all fats are not created equal. There are good fats, questionable fats and bad fats. Our government, media, scientists and doctors have advised us to eat the wrong types of fats for too long.

Building the body from the inside out is exactly like building a house. You can frame the house with the cheapest materials possible or you can invest in high-quality materials that are going to be energy-efficient and last a really long time.

When you eat the wrong fats, you’re using cheap materials and the results won’t be good. Most processed foods on supermarket shelves are made with poor-quality omega-6 fats from refined, processed vegetable oils. They are abundant, very cheap, taste good and improve texture.

The next time you’re in the supermarket, take a close look at the ingredient list of your favorite packaged food. If the list includes oils from corn, soy, cottonseed or safflower, you are getting a poor-quality fat.

When you consume these subpar fats, your cell walls also become subpar. Instead of being flexible and responsive to intercellular communication, cell walls become stiff and rigid. The more rigid the walls, the slower the cell functions and more vulnerable it becomes to inflammation.

You want to ensure your body has the fats it needs to construct high-quality cell walls. That means eating more omega-3 fats. Cell walls made from omega-3 fats are more flexible, which allows cells to respond more quickly to messages.

These “good” fats also help your body produce prostaglandins otherwise known as the hormones that cool off inflammation.

Optimal sources of omega-3 fats include small cold-water fish like wild-caught salmon, sardines and herring, organic flax and hemp seed oils, walnuts, Brazil nuts and sea vegetables.

Scientists suspect that early humans ate almost equal amounts of omega-6 and omega-3 fats. Our hunter-gatherer human ancestors got healthy omega-6 fats from seeds and nuts. They got their omega-3s from eating wild game and fish as well as foraging for wild plants.

As people began to refine oils from plants, the ratio became skewed more toward omega-6 fats. This created a drastic imbalance in the modern diet, making us more vulnerable to diseases such as cancer and heart disease.

When the human diet contained a balanced number of omega-3 and omega-6 fats, heart disease was almost nonexistent. Today, cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in the world.

The more omega-3 fats you eat, the easier your body can cool off, which means less inflammation that forms the root of nearly every chronic disease, especially those impacting the brain and the heart.

The brain is completely dependent on these high-quality fats. In fact, it is made up of 60 percent fat. High-quality fat boosts cognition, happiness, learning and memory. In contrast, studies link a deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids to depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and even violence. 

Your heart will also thank you for eating more omega-3s, which help lower levels of bad fats (triglycerides) and raise levels of good fats (HDL). Omega-3 fats make blood more slippery, reducing the likelihood of artery disease.

Beyond nourishing your heart and brain, eating the right fats helps you shed fat. Paradoxical as it sounds, not eating fat or eating the wrong types of fat make you gain weight.

That’s because healthy cell walls made from high-quality fats lowers blood sugar and insulin levels, meaning you’re more likely to burn than store fat. Consuming healthy fats also helps us absorb the important fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.

Besides eating plenty of wild, fatty fish, optimize your fat intake with nuts and seeds, coconut oil, grass-fed butter (or ghee if you’re dairy sensitive), avocados, grass-fed meats, extra-virgin olive oil and olives.

If you’re still curious about whether you’re getting enough fat in your diet, take this quiz.
