![]() ![]() Not surprisingly, Bain has written over 100 books, and received many accolades through his work with the famous television series. I’ve also discovered that Donald Bain has started his own publishing house Hyphenates Books. ![]() ![]() Selfishly, I would like to collect all the Murder, She Wrote books in the series, mainly because I’m such a big fan. Unlike most of the books sent to me, I don’t intend on passing this one along. How fitting that it was the first book I picked up in the series-it must be fate! A good friend gave it to me, and based on a price tag on the cover I can see that it was purchased at a used book store in Orillia, Ontario. If you follow the show, you will know that Miss Fletcher has written many books, but this is the first book of hers that I’ve actually read! Because Jessica Fletcher is a television character, she obviously needed help from a real life writer to publish this book, which is where Donald Bain comes in.Īfter doing a bit of my own detective work on the ghost writer Donald Bain, I discovered that Gin & Daggers was the first Murder, She Wrote (I lovingly refer to it as MSW) book that was written. ![]() Jessica Fletcher, my favourite heroine from my favourite television show Murder, She Wrote has written a book. ![]() ![]() ![]() “In Such a Fun Age, Emira Tucker’s relationships with her employer and new boyfriend culminate in an unexpected, combustible triangle so ingeniously plotted and observed that my heart pounded as though I was reading a thriller. Kiley Reid is a gifted young writer with a generosity that makes her keen social eye that much funnier and sharper." –Jess Walter, author of Beautiful Ruins " Such a Fun Age is such a fabulous book–a crisp, wry, and insightful novel about class, race, and relationships. ![]() “Kiley Reid’s witty debut asks complicated questions around race, domestic work, and the transactional nature of each.” –Nafissa Thompson-Spires, author of Heads of the Colored People This is a bullseye of a debut."- Emma Straub, author of Modern Lovers "Kiley Reid's propulsive, page-turning book is full of complex characters and even more complex truths. ![]() ![]() ![]() Her father Paul (Wladimir Yordanoff) is distracted by his government job while her mother Solange (Anne Brochet) drinks champagne with anti-depressants while talking to her plants, and her sister Colombe (Sarah Le Picard) focuses her shallow life on a pet goldfish. ![]() The building is inhabited by rich people, a fact we learn from the narrator of the story - Paloma Josse (Garance Le Guillermic), an eleven-year-old girl disturbed by her privileged life in Paris. And that definition applies to several characters in the story though it is most directly connected to bourgeoisie apartment house concierge Renee Michel (Josiane Balasko), a middle-aged and sour hermit who lives to mop the floor, distribute mail, and to give you a wary eye to passersby. The title comes form the definition of a hedgehog as a prickly-on- the-outside, cuddly-on- the-inside critter that is often misjudged. Mona Achache directs her screen play adapted from the novel "L'élégance du hérisson" by Muriel Barbery, casts an impeccable group of actors who bring to life this tale of how serendipitous nods of love can alter lives. ![]() ![]() Something there is about little French films that is like discovering a free-floating water lily in a quiet stream: it approaches you, shares it lovely scent as it passed, and then continues on out of sight, leaving you warmly happy at the privilege of observing a gentle bit of nature if only for a moment. ![]() ![]() There’s a clarity to this memoir that’s so brilliant it's unsettling Gornick finds a measure of freedom in her writing and her feminist activism, but even then, she and her mother can never let each other go. I love this book - even during those moments when I want to scream at Gornick, which are the times when she becomes the hypercritical, constantly disappointed woman that her mother, through her words and example, taught the author to be. It’s a portrait of the artist as she finds a language - original, allergic to euphemism and therapeutic banalities - worthy of the women that raised her. ![]() The book is propelled by Gornick’s attempts to extricate herself from the stifling sorrow of her home - first through sex and marriage, but later, and more reliably, through the life of the mind, the “glamorous company” of ideas. That fearlessness suffuses this book she stares unflinchingly at all that is hidden, difficult, strange, unresolvable in herself and others - at loneliness, sexual malice and the devouring, claustral closeness of mothers and daughters. ![]() When Gornick’s father died suddenly, she looked in the coffin for so long that she had to be pulled away. It has taken me 30 years to understand how much of them I understood.” “I absorbed them as I would chloroform on a cloth laid against my face. ![]() “I remember only the women,” Vivian Gornick writes near the start of her memoir of growing up in the Bronx tenements in the 1940s, surrounded by the blunt, brawling, yearning women of the neighborhood, chief among them her indomitable mother. ![]() ![]() ![]() Book Description Antigone is one of the most influential and thought-provoking of all Greek tragedies. Through these stories, whether it’s Antigone’s courageous stand against tyranny or the indestructible Caeneus, who inspires trans and gender queer people today, Morales uncovers hidden truths about solidarity, empowerment, and catharsis.Īntigone Rising offers a fresh understanding of the stories we take for granted, showing how we can reclaim them to challenge the status quo, spark resistance, and rail against unjust regimes.

Many of today’s harmful practices, like school dress codes, exploitation of the environment, and rape culture, have their roots in the ancient world.īut in Antigone Rising, classicist Helen Morales reminds us that the myths have subversive power because they are told - and read - in different ways. A classicist and cultural critic, Morales’ research considers myths as foundational beliefs and spaces for cultural resistance, such as in her book Antigone Rising: The Subversive Power of. The picture of classical antiquity most of us learned in school is framed in certain ways - glossing over misogyny while omitting the seeds of feminist resistance. ![]() A witty, inspiring reckoning with the ancient Greek and Roman myths and their legacy, from what they can illuminate about #MeToo to the radical imagery of Beyoncé. ![]() ![]() Stegner used the real letters of Mary Hallock Foote as the basis of the life of Susan Ward, and he quotes them within the novel itself. Ward, confined to a wheelchair, is a middle-aged historian who is writing the biography of his grandmother, Susan Burling Ward, an artist/writer who went west as a bride in the 1870s. ![]() The book is a first-person narrative by the main character, Lyman Ward. Then, I started building up credits and saw it whilst browsing and sprang for it, and loved it! I do tend to gush a lot about good books when I've just finished them, so ask me in six months what I think.but today, I consider this among the best books I've ever read. For some reason, I always put off reading Stegner and this novel, though I'm not sure why-it had the aura of being a "difficult" book and I was never in the mood. ![]() For years now, Wallace Stegner has been recommended to me and in particular his Pulitizer-Prize winning novel from 1972, Angle of Repose. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With his formidable background as a practising physicist, he follows in the tradition of Stephen Hawking: Philip Pullman describes Rovelli in his incisive new introduction as part of ‘a great age of writing about science by those that do it’, praising his ability to use poetry as well as mathematics to guide non-physicists through the mysteries of our existence. It forms a perfect setting for Rovelli’s meditation on time, and what it is to experience it as a human through memory, longing and loss. The text is punctuated by small inset pictures, ranging from busts of Aristotle and Newton to models of the Solar System. His approach makes use of simple diagrams, formulas and graphs to illuminate mind-bending concepts, such as the curvature of space-time and the ‘light cones’ that govern our perception of it. The Folio edition of The Order of Time stands out for Daniel Streat’s playful, inventive design in bold primary colours – starting with his eye-catching cover and slipcase, featuring a web of gold geometric lines on indigo cloth. ![]() ![]() As a mermaid, she already felt like an outsider. Woon’s narrator is a mermaid who sought the land not due to her obsession over a human prince, but because she wanted to escape the control of her older sisters who regularly made decisions for her. The Little Mermaid was already a tale about ideas of belonging and spaces that prevented access, but Woon’s reimagining of the tale focuses on the way that our social and physical environments are made to exclude and reject certain bodies. ![]() In “The Mermaid and the Prince of Dirt”, Angeline Woon takes the exploration of essential otherness in Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid” and reworks it into a tale of disability and trying to fit into a world that actively prevents spaces of accommodation.
