5/30/2023 0 Comments Jane austen a life claire tomalinThis tells us something about the elusive mixture of application and instinct in her working life. These literary truths are apt to be loyally forgotten by Austen’s traditional worshipers: the filmgoers, the churchgoers, the antiquarians gardening for lost ideological roots, the little Englanders and little Anglophiles.Īusten was a ferocious innovator, and her innovations were largely achieved by the time she was 24. Yet at the same time, the first stirrings of what would become Virginia Woolf’s stream-of-consciousness are also found in Austen’s novels she invented a new semaphore for signaling a person’s thought as it is happening. From her, Forster learned that characters do not have to change to be real they must merely reveal more of their stable essences as the novel progresses. From her, Dickens learned that characters can survive on one attribute and still be fat with life. She founded character and caricature at the same time, which is the essentially satirical, essentially English approach to fictional people. English fiction flows from Jane Austen’s pelisse as surely as Russian fiction does from Gogol’s overcoat.

5/30/2023 0 Comments Chekhov play vanyaMost of the characters have trouble truly seeing themselves or the nature of others. The lesson is that nearly everyone is doomed to lose the fight against entropy life is always stagnant, and the mere desire for change is simply not enough to stem the tide. There does seem to be a moment when there is the potential for significant change-the climax with the two shots Uncle Vanya takes at the pompous professorial epicenter of his misery-but the two shots miss the professor, so life at the end of the play is pretty much consistent with how it is was at the beginning. Almost all of the characters struggle with the monotonous quality of their lives out in the Russian countryside: even by the end of the play, there are practically no changes whatsoever. 5/30/2023 0 Comments Kingkiller book 3 release dateThe author has kept fans waiting for years, and despite many rumors and speculation, there has been no clear indication of when the book will finally hit the shelves.

Written in a beautiful, believable first-person point of view, God’s Daughter is the story of Gudrid, a Viking woman on a voyage to the New World with her husband, Finn, and a crew of Viking men (and a few women). (And is that not the most gorgeous cover? Wow.) (Disclaimer: I received an electronic advance reader copy of God’s Daughter from the author in exchange for my review.)Īnd oh, was I glad I did. That the main character was a Christian Viking woman was intriguing enough for me to want to read it. It didn’t matter to me what else the story was about. (I’m thinking of those Capital One credit card commercials, and of course, the football team that is a mortal enemy of my beloved Chicago Bears. If there are two words I wouldn’t think to put together it’s “viking” and “Christian.” Because let’s face it, my knowledge of Vikings is purely stereotypical. Not only that but about a Viking woman who’s a Christian. God’s Daughter by Heather Day Gilbert is a story about Vikings. I’ve read a lot of books across a lot of time periods, but I think I can safely say that reading this book was a first for me. 5/29/2023 0 Comments Neil gaiman terry pratchett booksThere’s a reading from Good Omens, Gaiman’s first in 25 years: “It was very early on Saturday morning on the last day of the world,” he begins. And then Terry, incredibly bravely, decided he wanted the right to die at the time of his own choosing, and given that that was illegal in the UK, he decided to do what he could to draw attention to it.” But … he announced it to the world and he used it as an opportunity to start the dialogue, to start talking about the fact that in the last 30 years we have made such incredible progress in the battle against cancer … compared to what’s gone into cancer, it’s pennies have gone into Alzheimer’s … and so Terry decided to get loud about that and to start talking about that. “He’s got serious critical attention and now he risks losing it. “Here’s somebody who’s fought to be taken seriously and to make people realise that you can write a serious novel, set in a fantasy context, on a flat world on the back of elephants on the back of a giant turtle floating through space and it can still be a real novel. “It was like Michelangelo phoning and asking if you want to paint a ceiling together”).Īnd it sees (around 21 minutes in) Gaiman discuss Pratchett’s “huge and noble” decision to speak out about his Alzheimer’s diagnosis. It covers some well-trodden ground, such as how the pair decided to collaborate on Good Omens (it was Gaiman’s idea Pratchett asked him if he could take it on or collaborate Gaiman said yes. 5/29/2023 0 Comments The book of accidents chuck wendigLong ago, Nathan lived in a house in the country with his abusive father-and has never told his family what happened there. SummaryĪ family returns to their hometown-and to the dark past that haunts them still-in this masterpiece of literary horror by the New York Times bestselling author of Wanderers Chuck Wendig’s The Book of Accidents was such a creepy and fascinating read that honestly left me completely unsuspecting and uncertain of what would happen on the next page, let alone at the end. It had elements of horror, supernatural, disappearing serial killers, but also contained aspects of comedy enriched by family trauma and growth. I had a difficult time describing The Book of Accidents to others, but not necessarily in a bad way. 5/29/2023 0 Comments The mr el jamesThe series has sold over 250,000 copies according to its former publisher, Australian outfit The Writer’s Coffee Shop which specializes in selling fan fiction. 21 according to the March 11, 2012, NY Times bestseller list.
