Miraz, 'Lord Protector of Narnia', is only the latest in a dynasty of rulers of a people who have systematically repressed "Old Narnia" over several centuries, although he himself has murdered his own brother Caspian IX in order to entrench this repression further. When he enters the story, he is one of the "Old Narnian" underground, a network of dwarves, fauns, centaurs, talking beasts and others who are hiding and surviving in inaccessible wooded and mountainous country, to escape harassment from the Telmarine usurpers of Narnia. Trumpkin the dwarf is first introduced in the second published book of The Chronicles of Narnia, Prince Caspian. He is a major character in Prince Caspian, briefly mentioned in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and is a minor character in The Silver Chair. Trumpkin is an intensely practical and skeptical dwarf who lives during the reigns of King Miraz and King Caspian X. Lewis' fantasy novel series The Chronicles of Narnia.

Through prose that shifts fluidly between dreams and reality, past and present, we travel to Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul in Mexico to the fertile moon terrain of Iceland to a ramshackle seaside bungalow in New York's Far Rockaway that Smith acquires just before Hurricane Sandy hits to the West 4th Street subway station, filled with the sounds of the Velvet Underground after the death of Lou Reed and to the graves of Genet, Plath, Rimbaud, and Mishima. ![]() M Train begins in the tiny Greenwich Village café where Smith goes every morning for black coffee, ruminates on the world as it is and the world as it was, and writes in her notebook. ![]() ![]() ![]() “Supernova 1,” together with science and love, are the perfect ingredients to get Indonesian readers’ attention.

Obviously, this is the episode that both Eva Green and Rory Kinnear should submit for awards consideration. “A Blade of Grass” is a one-act, off-Broadway play with its television hat on, and I was breathless for about 80% of it.
