She’s messy and in the throes of an existentialist crisis. When we first meet him he is a college student who has fallen in love with Sumire, who is very much the classic Murakami female character, in that she’s Not Like Other Girls. Anyway, we are stuck with K and his creepy male gaze. I mean, I honestly think this could have been a much stronger novel if the narrative had alternated between Sumire and Miu. While K acknowledges that it may be unusual for him to tell Sumire’s love story, he doesn’t provide a particularly satisfying answer. That he chooses to tell their story through ‘K’, our male straight narrator, is also somewhat iffy. It often went from being slightly ridiculous to straight-up ludicrous. I cringed many times while reading Sputnik Sweetheart: his portrayal of the romantic/sexual relationship between Sumire and Miu, the two women at the centre of the narrative, was yikes. The main reason why I do not get on with his work is that, well, his women are on a league of their own when it comes to female characters written by male authors. Over the last couple of months, I have picked up several of his short story collections but never felt compelled to finish them. It would be safe to say that I do have a bit of an uneasy relationship with Murakami’s work.

I've just come indoors from sweeping up the latest mess from Fishtail's giant feet (if you think chooks can cause havoc on in a garden, you've never lived with lyrebirds). He's got far more testosterone than musical talent. Some lyrebirds I've known have been stunning musicians.

I am also a sucker for a good mystery thriller, thus picking up Jane Anonymous felt like a no brainer. I have consistently enjoyed the Wednesday Books titles that I’ve read and always look forward to the titles they release! I can’t remember exactly how this came onto my radar, but probably my Goodreads feed. I chose to pick up Jane Anonymous in part because it was published by one of my favorite imprints: Wednesday Books. This summer I made the decision to use my library to mainly check out YA titles I was curious about but wasn’t sure I wanted to add to my physical book collection. Three months of being that girl who was kidnapped, the girl who was held by a “monster.” But, what if everything you thought you knew―everything you thought you experienced―turned out to be a lie? Now, it’s been three months since “Jane” escaped captivity and returned home. She never would’ve imagined that in her town where nothing ever happens, a series of small coincidences would lead to a devastating turn of events that would forever change her life. She had a part-time job she enjoyed, an awesome best friend, overbearing but loving parents, and a crush on a boy who was taking her to see her favorite band. “Jane” was just your typical 17-year-old getting ready to start her senior year. Publishing: January 7th 2020 by Wednesday Books Buy from your local indie or my bookshop affiliate link The name George Eliot was used to publish all of her fictional work and ensured that Eliot's novels were taken seriously. Eliot assured Blackwood - who was at that time unaware of her true identity - that the pen name was necessary to employ 'as a tub to throw to the whale in case of curious enquiries'. The male name was created partly to conceal the gender of the author, and partly to disguise her irregular social position, living as an unmarried woman with a married man. In a letter to her publisher William Blackwood, Evans suggested that the name George Eliot should be assigned to her work in place of her own. George Eliot is the pseudonym created in 1857 by the aspiring writer Marian Evans. It’s more complicated than that, but fame and fortune only supercharged the impossible task of filling the hole in his soul. Perry refers to a lifelong struggle to fill the hole inside his mommy issues. Not to blame the parents actually they bear a substantial amount of blame, but they mainly failed by not being parents. Perry’s childhood put him on this self-destructive and unfulfilled life. Like Leonard Nimoy, who was Spock, Perry is Chandler Bing.Ī couple of things are quickly evident. If you close your eyes, you obviously won’t be able to read the words on the page, but it’s Chandler Bing telling the story. Perry the author is a lot like Perry the actor. Like most train wrecks, you can’t look away, and here you even get sucked up in Perry’s retelling of the self-inflicted carnage. The interview is the small version of the train wreck, the book is the long, slow-motion derailment and repeated ordeal. If you watched the recent Matthew Perry’s interview with Diane Sawyer, or others he did while promoting the Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing (2022), you pretty much know the story. Derek's clumsiness leads him to suffer a number of injuries, including being bitten a dozen times by an agitated banded water snake that he was attempting to kill and eat. Predictably, the shoot in the Everglades is a series of fiascoes. Unsure what else to do, Wahoo invites her to join them on their camping trip into the Everglades. While buying supplies at a Walmart in Florida City, the Crays are joined by Tuna Gordon, a teenaged classmate of Wahoo's, fleeing her abusive, alcoholic father, Jared Gordon. In addition to helping with the animals, Wahoo has to restrain his father, who becomes dangerously short-tempered while dealing with the show's flabby, obese, pampered, and obnoxious star, Derek Badger, who has little experience dealing with actual nature and no interest in learning. Wahoo Cray and his father, Mickey Cray, a professional animal wrangler, are hired to help with the latest episode of a reality series titled Expedition Survival! As Mickey was injured shortly before by an iguana falling on his head and is suffering the aftereffects of a serious concussion, Wahoo takes it upon himself to accept for both of them while his mother is on a business trip in China. His previous three, also about Florida wildlife, are Hoot, Flush and Scat. Chomp is a young adult novel by Carl Hiaasen first published in 2012, and set in Hiaasen's native Florida. Of course, one can enjoy the novel without knowing the precise definition of a gentleman, or what it signifies that a character drives a coach rather than a hack chaise, or the rules governing social interaction at a ball, but readers of The Annotated Pride and Prejudice will find that these kinds of details add immeasurably to understanding and enjoying the intricate psychological interplay of Austen’s immortal characters.

Here is the complete text of Pride and Prejudice with thousands of annotations on facing pages, including: The first-ever fully annotated edition of one of the most beloved novels in the world is a sheer delight for Jane Austen fans. This Revised and Expanded Edition contains hundreds of new notes and illustrations. Harold goes to post a reply to the letter but encounters a young woman at the garage who tells him to have faith. Maureen makes it clear she doesn’t care and gets on with her obsessive hoovering. Harold is unsure how to reply to Queenie, whose importance in his life we don’t yet know. Harold and Maureen’s relationship is deeply strained, but why? It seems to be more than the apathy of a tepid marriage. The script, written by Joyce herself, is sparse, relying on its actors to do the heavy lifting. This is not a drama about Britishness but a story specific to Harold and Maureen. It’s to this one’s credit that it chooses instead to be narratively direct. So many of these films begin with a wishy-washy landscape shot or a cycle through an idyllic village – scene-setting rather than character-building. Based on the bestselling book by Rachel Joyce, the film begins abruptly in Fry’s kitchen, as a letter arrives from his old friend Queenie, who is dying of cancer in a hospice in Berwick-upon-Tweed and is writing to say goodbye. Here the stalwarts are Jim Broadbent as the eponymous Harold and Penelope Wilton as Maureen, his wife. And there is usually Judi Dench or Maggie Smith or Bill Nighy or some other British stalwart with a twinkle in their eye. There is always a misplaced sense of decency that gets people in trouble. There is always a hapless chap being eccentrically British, unsure of how to say what he means. The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry belongs to a particularly British genre of film that one might describe as Notting Hill for the boomer generation. |
