Replay

Product Information

REPLAY is created by theatre director Ruby Thompson, designer Rūta Irbīte and writer and composer Sam Caseley. Creating Replay has been an adventure different from anything I've done before. It unites in a new way three crafts and lifelong passions that have animated my work: storytelling, visual art, and history.

I think that one of the reasons I avoided reading this for so long is that it is saddled under the unfortunate umbrella of time travel fiction. Often this means a lot of obtuse descriptions of quantum mechanics and the paradoxes of accidentally meeting yourself in the past; Time Travel 101, if you will. Fortunately, Grimwood plays upon the well-worn theme with a unique twist. Un punto en contra que tiene es que, por lo mismo que abarca tantas cosas diferentes, lo hace de una forma, desde mi punto de vista... algo diluida aunque se entiende, de por si el libro es algo extenso.

Until he dies at forty-three and wakes up in his eighteen-year-old body again ... and again in a continuous twenty-five year cycle each time starting from scratch at the age of eighteen to reclaim lost loves, make a fortune - or remedy past mistakes. To have someone you love, go— it must leave a big empty hole in yourself, and no one can see the hole, only you.” Nos van presentando las distintas vidas (replays) que le van sucediendo a nuestro protagonista, hasta que conoce a otra persona que le está sucediendo lo mismo y se van conociendo hasta enamorarse. Vemos las distintas vidas de ambos, las opciones que van eligiendo cada uno de ellos. Pero se van dando cuenta que cuando empiezan de nuevo no empiezan en el mismo punto exacto sino que hay un desfase de tiempo que se va acrecentando.

Written over 30 years ago, Replay feels very familiar, to the point that I read portions and wondered if I had read the book when it first came out. Many of the ideas and beats in this story can be found in later time-loop fictional works—using knowledge of the past to make money, to try to stop some past tragedy, or to find a more satisfying partner after a failed marriage in the original timeline. During one subsequent replay, Jeff takes notice of a highly acclaimed film, Starsea, that has become a huge success at the box office in 1974. The film is written and produced by an unknown filmmaker, Pamela Phillips, who has recruited Steven Spielberg to direct and George Lucas as a special effects supervisor, before the two shot to stardom with their own projects. Because the film did not exist in previous replays, Jeff suspects that Pamela is also experiencing the same phenomenon. He locates her and asks her questions about future films which only a fellow replayer would know, confirming his suspicions.

The seme 真篠 律 (catcher) and uke 水原 悠太 (pitcher) are in their last year of high school, they’ve been baseball partners for 10 years, since they first met in 3rd grade when the big boys didn’t want to play with them. These two are best friends and the classmates all call them a married couple, the seme is the wife and the uke is the husband. They’ve now completed the playoff season, the team lost at the district finals, so the boys have retired and switched to study mode for university entrance exams.At the baseball training camp, the two boys had complicated feelings training with others, as they are the perfect partners in pitching and catching. The seme taught a younger student how to catch uke’s throw, he also watched the professional catcher 嶋 in the field. The seme offered to cut uke’s fringe, he told the uke to go to N University and he will meet good catchers even if it’s not him…

Marc Levy was born in France. When he turned eighteen, he joined the Red Cross, where he spent the next six years. In 1983, he created a computer graphics company based in France and the United States. Six years later, he co-founded an interior design and planning company with two friends; the company soon became one of the leading architecture firms in France. A novel of gripping adventure, romance, and fascinating speculation on the nature of time, Replay asks the question: "What if you could live your life over again?" The author does a great job of illuminating the main character's inner dialog and questions about his predicament. At each point in the novel, the protagonist responds to his situation sensibly and/or understandably, demonstrating smarts, will-power, perseverance, and human fallibility (his patience can and does reach a limit). I liked the plot twists and turns ... at least for the first 2/3 of the book, I really had no idea WHAT was going to happen next. I was hoping it wouldn't end the way it did, simply because that's what I was guessing might happen ... but the author did keep me guessing for the majority of it, so I am mostly satisfied. I absolutely loved this Love x Love manga from TokyoPop. As of lately this publishing house has been on a role with their BL manga and GL manga, and Replay was no exception. Honestly anything this publishing house puts out I will read at this point!This is a book I will definitely reread. I definitely recommend it. This books will reach into your heart and touch it, something that all the very best books should do at some point or another. They misogyny hits you square in the face sometimes. And there's plenty of it. It would certainly never pass the Bechdel test (or similar ones).

After chasing money, fame, sex, drugs, family life, debauchery, political involvement, scientific enquiries, solitary meditation, stoic resignation, Jeff will hopefully end this quest with some answers. I recommend looking for them in the book. I found it very well written, with a fine balance between facts and emotions, intelligent and funny in turns, thought provoking without becoming preachy. Sharla knows what a man wants whether he is 43 or 18, and Jeff is a mish mash of those two ages. The older Jeff is thinking I’ve never had sex with such an uninhibited woman in my entire life, and the younger Jeff is all libido. In essence, at least for a while, those two divergent people can enjoy the benefits that Sharla is so willing to provide. When I was 19 years old ... Oy, I already sound like an old man. But that's the point. When I was 19, my dreams were even bigger than my hair, which is saying something. And it was in the midst of those dreams that I first read the novel Replay, by Ken Grimwood. If the flow of time is continuous--uninterrupted as far as the rest of the world is concerned, ignoring this loop you and I keep experiencing, and branching out from each version of the loop into new lines of reality depending on the changes we put into motion each time around--then history should have progressed twenty-five years for each replay we’ve been through.”

In Jordan's Words: Rivers of Time

The next day, the uke and the coach were in the car on the way to shopping for the training camp, they drove passed the seme and an older girl walking close to S University entrance… The coach introduced uke to his friend 嶋, a professional catcher who’s retired and now teaching at N University. The catcher has watched the uke in action previously and praised his throw, said he can recommend uke to N University if he still wants to play baseball. Wow. I read this book in an afternoon. Okay, that’s not the first time I’ve done that for a book, but this was STUNNING. Sharon Creech has a way of weaving words together in a way that just pulls you in and makes you CARE. Le Figaro newspaper recently commissioned a nationwide poll asking the French to rank their favorite author: Marc Levy and Victor Hugo were #1.
