I will, of course, reserve the right to answer as vaguely as I wish, or not at all. □īe sure to follow the tour as there will be a chance to win either a complete Death and the Devil catalogue, or a $15US Amazon voucher if you already have all the books.

Charlotte's story quilt is her greatest treasure.In what ways did these other women define who Sarah and Handful became? Discuss Sarah's relationship with her mother and sisters and Handful's with her mother and sister. This is also a novel about family relationships and history, particularly as seen through the women in the story.Do you think their relationship with each other is central to how they developed?

The novel is presented as a story about two characters, Sarah and Handful. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Yet even as they address the interplay between suffering and beauty in human existence, the Elegies nevertheless project a hopeful vision of a more peaceful world. It was not until 1923 that the Duino Elegies emerged in their totality: a collection of ten intensely religious metaphysical poems informed by the anxieties, traumas, and fragmentations brought on by war and modern life. There, while standing atop a cliff overlooking the Adriatic Sea, Rilke claimed to hear the following line: “Who, if I cried out, would hear me among the angelic orders?” That evening, the poet immediately set to work, turning these words into the opening lines of what would eventually become the Duino Elegies.įor the next decade, Rilke would engage in an arduous cycle of labor characterized by violent and sporadic bouts of literary creation. In 1912, Rainer Maria Rilke received an invitation from Princess Marie von Thurn und Taxis-his longtime patron and closest friend-to stay at Duino Castle, a picturesque fortress just north of Trieste, Italy.

Review 2: Everything in this story is designed to get your heart pumping. Would love a bit more o’ that! Otherwise, great book short but well done! Also, I wish Riley’s kinks were explored a little more! He's into guyliner, nail polish and grabs a pair of fishnet stockings before he's reunited with Graham after they're separated midbook. ![]() It was skimmed over but not addressed to my satisfaction. Now ‘all a sudden’ he reveals not only is he not straight, he's really, REALLY into Riley which throws both Riley and the reader for a bit of a loop. I do wish that this author had explored two points though: Graham and Riley have been holed up for three months (if i recollect correctly) and during all that time Riley thought Graham was straight/not interested. ![]() I liked the characters, liked the story, and enjoyed the 'I will find you, no matter what' moments very much. That being said, this wasn’t overly gory and the focus was on Riley and Graham. Sure I like the occasional movie, but books make it a little too real for me. Review 1: I quite enjoyed this foray into apocalyptic zombie world, though in general I’m not a fan of zombie stories. ![]() ![]() ![]() Take, for example, her two-page vignette called "I Like to Get High at Night and Think About Whales." The title is practically as long as the essay itself. ![]() Luckily for the reader, she never wallows in loathing, self- or otherwise. ![]() By her own admission, she's lousy with money, she sounds like an idiot on podcasts, and she is more apt to down a six-pack of Diet Coke on any given day before she touches a glass of water. In her fourth collection of essays, Quietly Hostile, the bestselling author and television writer renews her love/hate vows with the human race - as well as her relationship with her own flaws and failings. But being human herself, she also trains her most critical - and most cynical - eye inward. Yes, Irby loves to observe her fellow humans. ![]() That is to say, she's a person who is fascinated by people - their obsessions, their hypocrisies, even the things they weirdly reveal about themselves in their anonymous, online product reviews. ![]() ![]() ![]() But he also has another motivation for going back in time: a half-burned letter that tells of a mysterious, tragic death and ominously of "fire which will destroy the whole world." Traveling to New York City in January 1882 to investigate, he finds a Manhattan teeming with a different kind of life, the waterfront unimpeded by skyscrapers, open-air markets packed with activity, Central Park bustling with horse drawn sleighs-a city on the precipice of great things. When advertising artist Si Morley is recruited to join a covert government operation exploring the possibility of time travel, he jumps at the chance to leave his mundane 20th-century existence and step into the past. The 50th anniversary edition of the beloved classic that Stephen King has called " THE great time-travel story."

Ballard and Clive Barker, and even the invented argot of the youth gangs in Burgess’ A Clockwork Orange. ![]() Its various influences are fairly obvious, ranging from maturing 1990s cyberpunk, Philip K Dick’s altered state novels, Alice in Wonderland, touches of J.G. So assured is the author’s narrative voice that it is easy to forget that this was Noon’s first novel. Scribble, a member of a gang of self-styled renegades called the Stash Riders, seeks the elusive, illegal, and highly dangerous feather known as Curious Yellow for it is only by accessing the higher realms of Vurt that he can hope to rescue Desdemona. Access to the Vurt is achieved through imbibing different coloured feathers laced with manufactured dreams. The Vurt is an alternative (or virtual/vurtual) reality which can serves as a metaphor for drug-induced visions, cyberspace, and perhaps the human imagination itself. Set in a distorted, near-future Manchester, Jeff Noon’s novel tells the story of Scribble’s quest for his sister and lover, Desdemona, who he has lost in the Vurt. ![]() ![]() ![]() In a world where bullying among young people is an epidemic, this is a refreshing new narrative full of heart and hope.
