Edward morgan forster maurice5/22/2023 He is noted for his use of symbolism as a technique in his novels, and he has been criticised for his attachment to mysticism. He had five novels published in his lifetime, achieving his greatest success with A Passage to India (1924) which takes as its subject the relationship between East and West, seen through the lens of India in the later days of the British Raj.įorster's views as a secular humanist are at the heart of his work, which often depicts the pursuit of personal connections in spite of the restrictions of contemporary society. His humanistic impulse toward understanding and sympathy may be aptly summed up in the epigraph to his 1910 novel Howards End: "Only connect". He is known best for his ironic and well-plotted novels examining class difference and hypocrisy in early 20th-century British society. Forster, was an novelist, essayist, and short story writer.

Celeste ng new book5/22/2023 She says, “I knew that I always wanted to tell stories, because that’s how I make sense of the world.”Īs a teenager in Shaker Heights, Ohio, she would spend hours with her friends at the Yours Truly restaurant (linoleum floors, high-back wooden booths), talking about who they’d grow up to be. It started as a child with the Chinese folk tales her immigrant parents told her, and with her favorite book, Harriet the Spy, in which the child protagonist-like Ng-takes notes on everyday moments. Ng’s latest novel, Our Missing Hearts, is her deepest exploration into the power of small stories, but she’s been weaving them together her whole life. “There are small stories, but in another way, there’s this sense of them forming the fabric of the world we live in.” “Now there’s some drama.” A few words sprout intrigue. So-and-So called the police again to report that someone moved his lawn chair from the backyard to the front yard for the third time.” She smiles. “One of my small, goofy, weird joys is to get a very, very local newspaper from a small town, like my hometown, and read the police blotter,” says best-selling author of Little Fires Everywhere and Everything I Never Told You, Celeste Ng ’02.

A Fall of Moondust by Arthur C. Clarke5/21/2023 Using the tropes of science-fiction – with strong emphasis on “science” – the book tells of the hovercraft Selene and one of its moon cruises that doesn’t go according to plan. In keeping with Clarke’s preference for stories that highlight humanity’s diminutive size compared to the exigencies of the universe, A Fall of Moondust is novel about a group needing rescue after becoming trapped in a sea of moon dust. Not earthshaking, the novel is nonetheless a solid read for fans of the genre. Clarke speculated just what that surface might be like, and in the process wrote a sci-fi thriller rooted in scientific ideology. Writing A Fall of Moondust that year, Arthur C. Standing at night, looking up at the glowing white face of the moon, we might ask: what is it comprised of? We’ve all seen the lunar landing videos, the dusty, desiccated soil that holds the impression of boots and tires so well, but what does it feel like? How does the stuff behave? Like sand? Talcum powder? Is it powdery like sugar, or fluid like in an hourglass? In 1961 when mankind had yet to set foot on the moon, those impressions were left in a substance that existed in the imagination, only.

And so, here’s A Breath of Snow and Ashes tied for first place.Ībout this book: The Revolutionary War is still brewing in the background, but most of the dramatics in this book are of a more personal nature for the Frasers between one thing and the next, they barely have time to draw breath as their world begins to tumble down around them. There are some truly despicable people throughout this series, but no one’s topped Randall for me yet–which is good, because I don’t think I could take it getting any worse than him. The first book was fantastic too, and I always love going back to re-experience the beginning after everything else, but my immense hatred for Jack Randall turned me against claiming Outlander as my fave. This one is currently battling #8 for the top spot as my all-time favorite of this series. For info on the rest of this series, check out my reviews of Gabaldon’s Outlander, Dragonfly in Ashes, Voyager, Drums of Autumn, and The Fiery Cross. Let’s talk about the 6th book in the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon, A Breath of Snow and Ashes.

Karima lazali colonial trauma5/21/2023 The systemic destruction of family and social connections contributed to feelings of loss, abandonment and injustice, feelings that were reinforced by the postcolonial state when it imposed new names on people and the land. The French state regarded Algeria as a territory with neither history nor culture people were renamed or un-named, so that family members became strangers and links with the past were broken. Many Algerians, on the other hand, are traumatized by the way that the French colonial state renamed the colonized Algerian and severed the links with community, history and genealogy. Many French feel weighed down by a colonial history that they are aware of but which they have not experienced directly. In her clinical practice, Lazali found that many of her patients experienced difficulties that can only be explained as the effects of ‘colonial trauma’ dating from the French colonization of Algeria and the postcolonial period. Following the work of Frantz Fanon in the 1950s, Lazali draws on historical materials as well as her own clinical experience as a practising psychoanalyst to shed new light on the ways in which the history of colonization leaves its traces on contemporary postcolonial selves. SmithĬolonial Trauma is a path-breaking account of the psychological and political effects of colonial domination. A Study of the Psychic and Political Consequences of Colonial Oppression in Algeria |
