Henri Michaux Alain Ferry, la Mer des Mamelles, une Robertine..

[lboogie1906]

Robert Clyve Maynard (June 17, 1937 – August 17, 1993) was a journalist, newspaper publisher, and editor, former owner of The Oakland Tribune, and co-founder of the Robert C. Maynard Institute for Journalism Education.

He was one of six children to Samuel C. Maynard and Robertine Isola Greaves. At 16 years of age, he dropped out of Brooklyn High School to pursue his passion for writing. He became friends with influential New York writers James Baldwin and Langston Hughes and acknowledged Martin Luther King Jr. as a hero.

His career in journalism began in 1961 at the York Gazette & Daily. He received a Nieman Fellowship at Harvard University and joined the editorial staff of the Washington Post.

In 1979, he took over as editor of The Oakland Tribune and became the first African American to own a major metropolitan newspaper after purchasing the paper four years later. He is recognized for turning around the struggling newspaper and transforming it into a 1990 Pulitzer Prize-winning journal.

In 1977, he co-founded the Institute for Journalism Education, a nonprofit organization dedicated to training journalists of color and providing accurate representation of minorities in the news media. For more than thirty years, the Institute has trained over 1,000 journalists and editors from multicultural backgrounds across the US.

The Institute he co-founded with his second wife Nancy Hicks Maynard was renamed in his honor after his death from prostate cancer. His daughter, Dori J. Maynard, became president and CEO of the Robert C. Maynard Institute for Journalism Education. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Hi! If Eloïs x Robertine is canon, I wanna know who fell in love first and why??

Eloïs was the one who fell first. He was a client of Robertine's before so he often did come to her for some shoe repairs here and there.

While there, he did find it interesting that Robertine didn't really react how most girls would when they're around him, so he does subtly tries to playfully flirt with her to break her composure but to no avail.

He continued to be a regular acquaintance of hers but then one day, a conversation happened:

and, being the hopeless romantic he is ,he fell real hard.

rn it's still eloïs who's hopelessly pining away while robertine remains mostly oblivious

Robertine De Vooght (1904-1979)

Dark Olympus novella: Stone Heart by Katee Robert

In the city of Olympus, people only speak about Medusa in whispers. She’s Athena’s knife hand, the one sent when Athena wants someone to disappear. No one asks Medusa what she wants, but she owes Athena her life, and if staining her hands with blood is the only way to repay the debt, it’s a small price to pay.

Until Athena sends her after Calypso, the mistress of the rich politician Odysseus. As far as Medusa can tell, Calypso hasn’t done anything remotely worthy of a death sentence, and her conflicted feelings only get compounded when she finally sees the woman. Calypso is beautiful and cunning and she’ll do anything to keep her life—including seducing her would-be assassin.

What starts as a ploy to escape quickly spirals into genuine interest. Medusa is hardly the cold killer that rumors suggest, and Calypso is far more complicated than her reputation as a ruthless gold-digger.

But it doesn’t matter that they’ve finally found something special together. Athena will have her blood, and this time not even crossing the River Styx will save them…

My Review: 4/5 Stars

Before Neon Gods, there was someone else who ran across the River Styx. Well two someones. Medusa is Athena's assassin. She has owed one of the Thirteen a debt the moment Athena saved her life from Poseidon. In doing so she has stained her hands in blood. But when Athena sends Medusa on her latest mission, she finds herself truly hesitating for the first time. Calypso was the mistress of a rich politician, Odysseus. Now that he has lost control of the situation he hires Athena to get rid of Calypso permanently. Calypso has only ever done what she has had to in order to survive. She never thought Odysseus would go as far to kill her to get rid of her. But when Medusa turns up at her apartment, she realizes that surviving could be a lot tricker this time. Medusa knows killing Calypso isn't fair or right and when Calypso catches her off guard she is almost glad that she escapes. It has nothing to do with her attraction to Calypso, at least that is what she tells herself. But her hunt isn't over yet, Athena tells her to go after Calypso and finish the job. This short novella was pretty great! I hope we see Medusa and Calypso in future books. They were two interesting characters who gave you a nice peek at how corrupt their world is and how those who are on the other side of the River Styx play a way different game. I hope we get some more novellas in this world!
