![]() ![]() The murderous attack on Mathilde Stangerson in her yellow-wallpapered bedroom while her father and trusted factotum are outside, the windows being barred and the door locked and yet no sign of her assailant save a bloody handprint when the door is broken in, unfolds at a rapid pace and has intrigues aplenty at its filigree’d edges. I’ve previously called this one of my fifteen favourite impossible crime novels, and in rereading it I think I’d now revise that opinion, but in a way that doesn’t alter my respect for it. But it would be folly to claim that age has not caught up with it and that this was in the same class as the genre’s genuine masterpieces of the 1930s. The focus on propelling the plot at a time when even those who were focussed on plot weren’t exactly propulsive is both admirable and impressive, and the creativity Leroux brings to a subgenre that would utilise the secret passage for another 60+ years is staggering. Can a book still be a masterpiece if it’s not brilliant? In the case of Gaston Leroux’s debut The Mystery of the Yellow Room (1907) - which plays up to and anticipates so many of the established and forthcoming trappings of detective fiction - I’d say yes. ![]() ![]() The creation of The Culture galaxy is also vivid and innovative. The interaction between the characters works well and they are developed well enough that you begin to sympathise with most of them. The characterisation is detailed and Horza, our lead character, has an edge of reality to him. It is an interesting journey though by no means an easy ride. ![]() ![]() This is a well written first science fiction novel although it requires a lot of concentration due the depth of Bank’s fertile imagination and the technical nature of the novel. When Iain Banks writes science fiction novels he inserts the M into his writing name. Horza is from a race that has the ability to change their appearance. Schar’s World is a forbidden planet of the dead, and both the Indirians and The Culture are not allowed to land on this planet. Horza is despatched by the Indirians to recover a Culture Mind, which has become trapped on Schar’s World. The Culture, as a result is learning hard lessons quickly, and is losing this galaxy spanning war. Within The Culture the humans have become soft and lovers of a lifestyle where their every need is catered to. There is a war between the Indirians, who fight for their faith and religion, and The Culture, a society run by machines. ![]() Billions had died, billions more were doomed.Ĭonsider Phlebas tells the story of Horza Gobuchul, a changer, and his crew of mercenaries, both human and machine. ![]() ![]() ![]() Robert De Niro Compares His "Evil" 'Killers of the Flower Moon' Character to Donald Trump: "We All Know Who I'm Talking About"Ĭannes Film Festival 2023: 'Killers of the Flower Moon' Is Martin Scorsese's Umpteenth Masterpiece Exploring the Gnarled Mechanics of CrimeĬannes Film Festival 2023: The Infamously Bawdy 'Caligula: The Ultimate Cut' Was Screened - And Dozens Of Cowards Walked Out ![]() 'Missing' Ending, Explained: Who Kidnapped Grace Allen?

Ranging from the fall of Singapore in 1942 to the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi in 1948, Shameful Flight provides a vivid behind-the-scenes look at Britain's decision to divest itself from the crown jewel of its empire. ![]() Britain's precipitous and ill-planned disengagement from India in 1947-condemned as a "shameful flight" by Winston Churchill-had a truly catastrophic effect on South Asia, leaving hundreds of thousands of people dead in its wake and creating a legacy of chaos, hatred, and war that has lasted over half a century. ![]() ![]() He also brilliantly demonstrates that the language of the ancient works of law and religion (words like “guilt,” “sin,” and “redemption”) derive in large part from ancient debates about debt, and shape even our most basic ideas of right and wrong. Graeber shows that arguments about debt and debt forgiveness have been at the center of political debates from Italy to China, as well as sparking innumerable insurrections. ![]() ![]() It is in this era, Graeber argues, that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors. He shows that for more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell goods-that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. Here anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom. ![]() The problem with this version of history? There’s not a shred of evidence to support it. Every economics textbook says the same thing: Money was invented to replace onerous and complicated barter systems-to relieve ancient people from having to haul their goods to market. ![]() ![]() ![]() San Francisco was different then, and Eggers' A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius had the sort of false pomposity that appealed to the stylishly wicked of the Bay Area's newest (and soonest to be dead) working class. Usually when one is noticing a so-called cultural phenomenon, not so many people are hip on it. ![]() Everyone on public transportation was reading them, which is strange. Back in the days of the era of the dot com, in San Francisco one couldn't seem to escape the growing forest of Eggers and David Sedaris. Have you heard of Dave Eggers? Timothy McSweeney?

I was inside, very warm, walking from door to door. ![]() It was a clear and eyeblue day, that day, as was the first day of this story, a few years ago in January, on Chicago's north side, in the opulent shadow of Wrigley and with the wind coming low and searching off the jagged half-frozen lake. And so you step into Powell's City of Books and lo and behold you see a hardcover by Dave Eggers with the following on the cover:Įverything within takes place after Jack died and before my mom and I drowned in a burning ferry in the cool tannin-tinted Guaviare River, in east-central Columbia, with forty-two locals we hadn't yet met. ![]() ![]() A final crisis of faith and improbable revelation drown all the preliminary exuberance in overwrought exposition, inspiring only a longing for what this had the potential to be. Jenkie, originally entertaining and gutsy in a darkly bizarre way, is reduced to a mumbling extra from white-trash central casting, while her aghast television producer becomes a sudden action hero. ![]() Massie abruptly takes a turn for the serious as a local preacher and his daughter try to set things right, and one of the recently arisen zombies, Armistead, begins hearing voices. ![]() Her great-granddaughter Suze tries to stop the spread of it by reducing the adjacent town of Beaver Dam to ash, while Suze’s sister Jenkie tries to launch a reality TV show, Jenkie Mustard and Her Monsters What Come Back to Life.

Her first short horror story, 'Whittler,' was published in David B. She has also written historical fiction for young adults. Granny Mustard, the feared matriarch of Desper Hollow, cooks up a particularly nasty brew of moonshine that returns the dead to life. Elizabeth Massie is a two-time Bram Stoker Award-winning author of horror novels and short fiction. ![]() Though Massie (Sineater) is an adept and imaginative fashioner of setting and character, her zombie thriller promises more than it delivers. ![]() ![]() ![]() Each, in turn, is encouraged by the head of a local government college.Īziz arranges for Miss Quested and Mrs Moore to visit the famous caves at Marabar. ![]() Rejecting the prejudice and insularity of the British community, she sets out to investigate the "real" India, assisted in her search by Dr Aziz, a young Muslim doctor who naively wants to promote an entente between the master race and its colonial subjects. But Miss Quested, as her name implies, has other ideas. The idea is that Adela will meet and marry Mrs Moore's son Ronny, an eligible but bigoted British civil servant, the city's magistrate. Thus: when Adela Quested, an English schoolteacher, and her companion Mrs Moore arrive in Chandrapore they enter colonial India, a place obsessed with the promotion of British values and the British way of life. The part of A Passage to India that most readers remember, of course, is the tortuous romantic drama of the Marabar caves. Yet – because Forster's concern is the forging of a relationship between a British schoolteacher and a Muslim doctor, reflecting the larger tragedy of imperialism – A Passage to India stands as a strangely timeless achievement, one of the great novels of the 20th century. Today, approaching 100 years after its composition, the novel is probably as "dated" as ever. I n 1957, EM Forster, looking back in old age, wrote that the late-empire world of A Passage to India "no longer exists, either politically or socially". ![]() ![]() By AUTHOR Jane Austen Eric Carle Lewis Carroll Roald Dahl Charles Dickens Sydney Hanson C.Indestructubles Little Golden Books Magic School Bus Magic Tree House Pete the Cat Step Into Reading Book The Hunger Games By POPULAR SERIES Chronicles of Narnia Curious Geoge Diary of a Wimpy Kid Fancy Nancy Harry Potter I Survived If You Give. ![]() ![]() By TOPIC Award Winning Books African American Children's Books Biography & Autobiography Books for Boys Books for Girls Diversity & Inclusion Foreign Language & Bilingual Books Hispanic & Latino Children's Books Holidays & Celebrations Holocaust Books Juvenile Nonfiction New York Times Bestsellers Professional Development Reference Books Test Prep.By GRADE Elementary School Middle School High Schoolīy AGE Board Books (newborn to age 3) Early Childhood Readers (ages 4-8) Children's Picture Books (ages 3-8) Juvenile Fiction (ages 8-12) Young Adult Fiction (ages 12+).BESTSELLERS in EDUCATION Shop All Education Books. ![]() |
