Mitch Cullin Livres

In a story which is at times suspenseful, darkly surreal, and often humorous, Jeliza-Rose drifts from the harsh reality of her childhood, escaping into the fantasies of her own active imagination where fireflies have names, bog men awaken at dusk, monster sharks swim down railroad tracks, and disembodied Barbie heads share in her adventures.Set among grassy fields, alongside an abandoned quarry, in dim bedrooms and mesquite-shaded trails, Tideland illuminates those moments when the fantastic emerges from seemingly common occurrences and lives -- and a lonely child discovers magic and danger behind even the most mundane of events.

Set in the twilight years of Sherlock Holmes, the story delves into the legendary detective's struggle with aging and memory loss. As he reflects on his final case, Holmes grapples with the impact of his past decisions and the unresolved mysteries that haunt him. The narrative explores themes of identity, legacy, and the passage of time, offering a poignant look at a beloved character through the lens of his later life. The film adaptation features performances by Ian McKellen and Laura Linney, bringing this introspective tale to the screen.
