The heavy green sheet that they had given him for warmth got stuck in the guardrail lock. Sabine saw all of his beautiful teeth, the two gold crowns on the back molars shining brightly in the overhead fluorescent light. When they counted to three and then lifted Parsifal’s body from the metal tongue of the MRI machine and onto the gurney, his head fell back, his mouth snapping open with no reflexes to protect it. The technician stepped between Parsifal and Sabine, and she had no choice but to let go of Parsifal’s hand. Where there had been a perfect silence a minute before there was now tremendous activity, the straining sounds of two men unexpectedly thrown into hard work.

I watched the TV series a week after I read the book, so with it still fresh in mind, I was able to pick up on the differences all too easily. While the plot setting was close to the original, there was a larger cast introduced on the show, and it was a little confusing to keep up with the changes in the flow of the story. I want to say it was pretty close to the book, but unfortunately not. In 2018, Netflix aired the TV show based on the book. Nightflyers was originally published in 1985, then followed a film adaptation in 1987 (which received low ratings and referred to as a ‘disaster’). One interesting fact about his early writing was that he started writing science fiction short stories, which put him on the map, as those were the years science fiction movies, like Star Wars, started rising in popularity, but not enough popularity to pay the bills just yet. Which could only mean one thing: there are lots of novels to explore by this author, going back many years. With a bit of research, I found out that he actually started writing in the 1970s already, and not the 1990s as I had thought. Martin had written anything besides the ‘ A Song of Fire and Ice‘ collection. Up until the day that HB brought this book home from one of his business trips, I had no idea that George R.R. Marco's FatherĪlthough he is only briefly mentioned, Marco's father is a kind and understanding man who goes out of his way to talk with and try to understand Marco, his feelings, and perhaps most importantly to the book, his experiences. Marco continues to conjure up even crazier things - up to the point of a grand parade filled with incredible things. For example, Marco replaces the horse with a Zebra in his head. Later, however, Marco starts to conjure up increasingly crazy things. This is exemplified by his trip down Mulberry Street, where he first sees a horse and a wagon. The main character and protagonist of the book, Marco is a young boy with a kind heart and a wild imagination.

This moment displays that forgiveness and openness may solve even the most challenging situations, and I find this concept to be very useful and relatable. This results in two understanding each other motives and, as the heroine says, “As we walk together, side by side, … I am forgiving myself for all the rest” (Hesse, 1997, 208). Billie Jo understands she needs her family and finally speaks out loud about the issues that bother her. After leaving because of the inability to bear the guilt and the place itself, the heroine comes back after realizing the importance of forgiveness. The second significant event in Billie Jo’s life is when she comes back to the Dust Bowl. Such a traumatic experience would not allow her to play the piano because Billie Jo felt she took that possibility from her mother. The preventive factor was her guilt, which in her words: “ hardly stay in the same room with one. The one reason for it was her burned hands, which made her feel incomplete. Unfortunately, after the tragedy has struck and Billie Jo’s mother had died, she could not play the piano.
