![]() ![]() Unlike a lot of short fiction collections, this one isn’t a totally mixed bag, most of the stories ranging from “good” to “great”. As a genre it would go on to live a fairly short life, plateauing in the late eighties, followed by a handful of peak post-cyberpunk moments in the nineties ( Snow Crash, Ghost in the Shell) culminating in The Matrix and then almost immediately fading into relative obscurity.īurning Chrome collects Gibson’s short fiction, mostly published in OMNI magazine in the early eighties.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Now, as the strongminded, sassy CEO of one of the biggest jewellery empires in the country, Naomi finally has exactly what she wants - but it's going to take more than just the right address to make Manhattan's upper class accept her. For as long as she can remember, Bronx-born Naomi Powell has had one goal: to prove her worth among the Upper East Side elite. They vowed to steer clear of Manhattan's heartbreakers - but when it comes to love, some risks are worth taking. From the author of the New York Times bestselling Stiletto and Oxford series, Passion on Park Avenue is the first in a charming new series following the unlikely friendship of three Upper East Side women as they struggle to achieve their dreams and find true love and happiness in the city that never sleeps. ![]() ![]() On the day the government decrees that women are no longer allowed more than 100 words daily, Dr. So when this one came up for review, I was so excited to read it and see how close it came to such an iconic book. That said I haven’t finished watching it because it was almost too disturbing. I watched one episode of the show and was completely enthralled….disturbed but enthralled. The political climate and the Hulu adaptation of the book, have made it more popular than ever and I think more and more women are reading and enjoying The Handmaid’s Tale than ever before. Now flash forward a number of years and suddenly The Handmaid’s Tale has taken on an almost cult following. ![]() I am not a huge Atwood fan and just didn’t love it in that way that I had hoped. I read The Handmaid’s Tale in college and wasn’t really a fan. It’s been compared to The Handmaid’s Tale, which is a tall order, so I was eager to read this one and see what all the fuss was about. ![]() ![]() This book came across my desk for review and I immediately knew that I wanted to read it. ![]() ![]() ![]() “With wit, brains, and empathy, Jana Casale throws open the curtain on the inner lives of three young women and illuminates their pain and beauty. ![]() Everyone who loves Sally Rooney should be reading Jana Casale!” How to Fall Out of Love Madly astounds with its insights about love and the search for meaning and self-acceptance. How to Fall Out of Love Madly as its meant to be heard, narrated by Julia Knippen, Sophie Amoss, Imani Jade Powers, Kristen Sieh, Karissa Vacker. Jennifer Close, New York Times bestselling author of Girls in White Dresses and Marrying the Ketchups This book is an honest and compelling look at female friendship, romantic relationships, and infatuation, and I couldn’t put it down.” “I love this book with all my heart! Jana Casale is a master storyteller-observant, witty, sharp, and funny. and made something funny, warm, and compelling something sisterly in the finest sense of the word " ![]() “In an even-more-impressive continuation of the work she began with her debut, The Girl Who Never Read Noam Chomsky (2018), Casale has again taken the detritus of women’s inner lives. Three women confront the compromises they’ve made to appease the men they love in this razor-sharp, emotionally resonant novel from an author who “makes a particular female experience vivid, centered, seen” ( Elle ) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Even those who were interested would publish it only on condition she made severe edits (she refused). The result is an extraordinary novel that was 12 years in the making and rejected by most publishers who thought it unwieldy and too different. She mixes poetry and song with prose, mingles English with the Polynesian language of the indigenous Maori population of New Zealand and even creates new words where she believes a standard lexicon simply doesn’t adequately capture the meaning she wants to convey. Rejecting the exhortation frequently heard in creative writing courses that novice writers should focus on just one narrative point of view, Hulme switches perspectives between her three principal characters. Keri Hulme’s 1985 Booker Prize winning book The Bone People is one of those novels for which the word unorthodox would be a woefully inadequate description. ![]() ![]() ![]() So she claims to have the ability to read McEwan's mind, telling her listeners that he is displaying his contempt for all female readers - or for anyone that enjoys fiction, the very genre McEwan has made his life's work.įirst, she calls Sweet Tooth "ingenious" and says she "admired" it. ![]() Corrigan knows, however, that this is not reason enough to condemn the novel - she has to offer more. She is angry because the novel's main character is a woman whom McEwan seems to be ridiculing because of the character's low-brow reading tastes - because, according to Corrigan, McEwan is, in fact, ridiculing all female readers. Corrigan comes across as a feminist who is outraged that McEwan would dare knock that huge chip from her shoulder. I now understand her references to McEwan's post-modernist tricks and the like, but I am still dumbfounded that she has trashed Sweet Tooth to such a degree. ![]() I listened to that review a day or so ago when I was maybe 100 pages into the novel, and I was immediately struck by Corrigan's anger and the vicious tone she uses to show her utter contempt for Sweet Tooth. This is simply a reflection on Maureen Corrigan's radio review of the same book for NPR. I finished reading Ian McEwan's new novel, Sweet Tooth, exactly ten minutes ago, so this is not meant to be any kind of a review of the book. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
