![]() ![]() She introduces him to San Francisco’s counter-cultural and artistic underground. While on the psychiatric ward, Benny meets a young woman-similarly broken-who calls herself the Aelph. Her love of broken things extends, of course, her son, whom she must eventually institutionalize because of the voices he hears. Her flaws are written large, but, like literature’s best flaws, her hoarding is a perversion of her greatest strength. Like the characters in her earlier work, the characters here are believable and human Annabelle in particular is lovely, lonely, and strikingly real.

The Book of Form and Emptiness, Ruth Ozeki (Viking, Canongate, September 2021) It is surely never comfortable to live with someone who hoards, but Benny’s situation is complicated: he can hear the voices of material objects.īenny can also hear the narrative voice of the novel itself as it tells his story.

She could only hope to get through the evening without her blind date noticing that he was spending the evening with a crazy person. Enjoying herself tonight was out of the question.

The author, Laurent Binet has such intense interest in telling this forgotten story, that his relentless research leads to elements of fiction creeping in to his book in an unusual counterpoint to the story of the two protagonists and their fellow agents. ![]() The non-fictional story of two Paratroopers, who left their homeland of Czechoslovakia under Nazi occupation after their army meekly surrendered following the collapse of their neighbours, only to return as British agents with the brief to assassinate Reinhardt Heydrich, “the hangman of Prague” as a show of defiance for the Czech government in exile. The attention to detail and historical accuracy in the tale of second world war heroism and tragedy leaves as strong an impression on the reader as the personal tragedies in the books main narrative tale of espionage, plotting and duplicity. ![]() The first and most important thing to mention about HHhH is that despite it’s location in the fiction department of your local book retailer, website or library it is, for the most part, a work of astounding, obsessive non-fiction. ![]() ![]() ![]() The book is terrifying all on its own given its premise, but it was the language which made me enjoy it all the more, opening up worlds I didn’t know were possible: “A real witch gets the same pleasure from squelching a child as you get from eating a plateful of strawberries and thick cream.” It’s the word “squelch” for me that truly signals why Dahl’s prose was always so wickedly revolting-and I mean that in the greatest sense. ![]() Take The Witches, which has just gotten yet another film adaptation. I can still trace my love of language to his wordplay-loving novels, many of which I devoured as a young precocious kid. It’s no surprise his books have proven fertile ground for both sublime cinematic gems and deliriously horrid film versions. I still have vivid memories of reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Matilda in school (we even read his rather unsavory memoir Boy his accounts of boarding school bullying haunt me to this day!) and of watching the delightful early ’90s film adaptations of some of his better known works. Roald Dahl holds a special place in my childhood.

We see their friendship slowly develop into confused feelings of love as their high school years slowly come to an end. The story itself follows the relationship that grows between two girls, Kayako Kirishima and Masami Endo. Written by Kiriko Nananan, who got her start writing for the prominent magazine “Garo” in Japan, which specialized in alternative or avant-garde comics. ![]() I saw this particular one sitting on the display shelf, its cover almost a solid blue with the faint outline of a girl, and knew it would be something great to review for this blog. One of my purposes in going to that convention was to find interesting and little-known comics to review for this blog. ![]() Blue was something I found while wandering around MICE (Massachusetts Independent Comic Expo) a couple weeks ago. ![]() ![]() He likes Grandfather’s hat and Grandmother’s cooking. Little Bear's Visit: Little Bear likes to visit Grandmother and Grandfather Bear. Little Bear is very excited to see him-even if he doesn’t bring the toy Little Bear has been hoping for!

When he goes to the moon, she has a hot lunch waiting for him on his return.

Introduce a new generation of children to Little Bear, the classic, beloved character from Else Holmelund Minarik and Maurice Sendak, with this boxed gift set containing three paperback editions in the series. ![]() ![]() ![]() I wasn't quite sure at first why the author had set the novel at the beginning of the 1920s, but it became clear quite quickly that this is, apart from describing a wild magic that finds itself backed into a corner by the modern world and with claws raised in defence, also a sensitively written lament for a generation of boys and men lost (in one way or another) during the First World War, and the consequences in society that came with women demanding more rights and liberties as a result. This is not a mindless monster made from twigs, leaves and paper (the pages of the real Triss's diaries) but someone who feels and thinks, and who has opinions of her own. ![]() ![]() When they go back home, events begin to escalate as it dawns on everyone that Triss is not really Triss at all.I thought this was a very intriguing take on the changeling story, with an unexpectedly sympathetic protagonist at its core. ![]() As Triss regains her strength, she starts to behave in a way that bewilders those around her, and that's even before she discovers that her doll can now talk to her. Triss wakes up one morning after an accident while on holiday, but without a memory of what happened all her other memories, such as those of her parents and younger sister, or even of her life before the accident, appear strangely vague and incomplete. ![]() |
