Lady jayne disappears5/13/2023 I relished getting to know these characters and found myself forgetting at times that they were fictional. I knew exactly what Aurelie was thinking, while at the same time, I was anticipating the story switching to Silas’ view so I could know what his thoughts on the matter. Politano has a very unique writing style that I found very engrossing! I’ve not often read stories that alternate between a first person perspective and another character’s observations and I have found I really enjoy it. The story drew me in from the first and kept me up until the early hours of the morning, having to know how it was going to end! I have been so looking forward to reading this debut novel by Joanna Davidson Politano! I obviously had no idea what to expect and can happily say that I quite enjoyed it! I was intrigued by the idea behind the story - a young woman searching for answers to finish her father’s novel and finally know the truth herself.

Morning star brown novel5/12/2023 Structured as a series of first-person stories, each titled by the narrator's first name, many of which repeat, two of which (Arne, Egil) resemble Knausgaard, but also a few are women, a middle-aged priest of Norway, a young convenience-store clerk, a night shift worker at a mental hospital married to Jostein, a hideous man-type journalist whose idfulness and general hatefulness charge the pages through the middle and end like booster rockets whenever he appears. But then it started to take off, thanks in part to cliffhangers at the end of each section either for the new star or minor natural and some major supernatural oddities that began to proliferate, yet never in such a way as to overwhelm the emphasis on character and interiority - and I was in it to win it and very much recommend it, not just to Knausgaard fans. Through the first two-hundred pages I wasn't sure about it, doubted its page count (666), thought it contrived and manipulated with prevalent one-sentence paragraphs like in a Blake Crouch novel. Theological thriller, philosophical pulp, an extraordinarily well-characterized, dramatized elaboration of the internal/external worlds thematic focus of The Seasons Quartet, perfect for the longer nights and dark mornings of autumn, as neighbors decorate yards with plastic representations of skeletons and ghouls.

Rather, an ecological perspective reveals a nebulous ethical zone that complicates McCarthy's ostensible bifurcation of characters into the categories of unequivocal good and evil. Rather, McCarthy's frequent depictions of cannibalism within the setting of ecological apocalypse encourages the reader to pair these two aspects of the text The Road suggests that insofar as the planetary ecosystem is the “body” of the human species, recent human history has been a spectacle of the particular type of species self-cannibalization I call “ecological cannibalism.” This article questions the novel's apparently clear moral dichotomy between “good guys” and bad guys (129), arguing that the man and the boy are not fundamentally distinct from human meat-eaters. This article argues that the abundance of cannibalism in this novel is not incidental. Throughout McCarthy's oeuvre, however, cannibalism is not common it only appears in one previous novel and does not earn an entry in the index of The Cambridge Companion to Cormac McCarthy (2013). Cormac McCarthy's ecopocalyptic novel, The Road (2006), is rife with cannibalism.

How Mirka Got Her Sword by Barry Deutsch5/11/2023 Fantastical elements mesh perfectly with the deep emotional heart of Mirka’s story. Deutsch weaves in information about Shabbos, phrases in Yiddish (translated at the bottom of the page), illustrations of the different looks (rebel, pious, popular) girls create with the white shirts and long black skirts they wear-and all of it is lively and engaging. His expressive, surprising drawings give life to Mirka’s quest and to the unusual and genuine relationships she has with family members and magical creatures. The book brings new material to the original Web comic, completed in 2008, allowing Deutsch to make a great comic even better. When a witch and a talking pig turn up in the woods near home, Mirka can’t help getting involved, much to the dismay of her seven sisters, brother, and argumentative stepmother. Spunky Mirka wants to be a dragon-slayer, but everyone in the small Orthodox Jewish community of Hereville is against it.
