Srikanta upanyas7/8/2023 One of those un-putdownable kind of books. From page one till the end, Srikanta rox. Its a long time since I began this review. It appears strange that all these ladies, strong-willed and efficient enough in several ways, get attracted to Srikanta, developing an affectionate relationship with him, despite all his behavioral flaws. First there is : Annada Di, Pyari aka Rajeswari, then, Abhaya and finally, Kamal Latha, theVaishnavi. It is about Srikanta and the ladies in his life. Novel proceeds in first person narrative, from Srikanta’s side. □ Srikanta is the hero of the novel, basically good but inefficient young lad. Not at a single place did it gave a feeling like – “chalo, lets putdown and sleep”. A thoroughly gripping novel I should say. Yeah.of the 5 Sarath novels I have read(including a small one I read today), this is the biggest in size. I think one novel or the other of these classical authors is an autobiographical account of their life…. Srikanta is in many ways, a significant novel of Sarath’s writings, and it is believed to be autobiographical. Well, this time, the book is Srikanta, by Sarath Chandra Chattopadhyay, better known as Sarath to Bengalis and non-bengalis alike, which shows his timeless popularity. These days, I feel I am not blogging about books the way I used to….after the advent of At Random, all my random thoughts got life! □

Cara hunter in the dark7/8/2023 And when the interview finishes, he even attacks a police constable because she gave him a cup of steaming tea which scalded his mouth.ĭC Verity Everett is in the hospital, but the girl has been sedated because she got hysterical when the boy was taken to her. When Harper is being interviewed, he is rude and scornful of everybody: his neighbours, his two late wives. The man has Alzheimer’s, and he was only visited by his social worker, Derek Ross, once a week. The girl and the boy are taken to hospital, and Quinn and Gislingham interview the man, William Harper, a former professor at Birmingham University. Then in the cellar they find a young girl, dirty and lying on a bare mattress, and next to her there is a two-year-old boy. When they break into the next-door house, they find an old man in the toilet, and he clearly has dementia. The police are called, and DS Gareth Quinn and DC Chris Gislingham get there. There is a crack that opens up in the next-door house, and when Mark Sexton, the owner, touches the wall, it gives way and a hole appears, and then he sees a face. The architect tells him that there is a problem in the cellar. This time the book starts with a rich man who has bought a big Victorian house in North Oxford and has workers on the property. This is the second book in the series featuring DI Fawley and his unit.

The cement garden book review7/8/2023 There are certainly YA books that deal with secrets, dead parents, horrifically dysfunctional sibling relationships, and masturbation, but I doubt any of them have ever executed these themes with the literary sparseness and claustrophobic intensity of The Cement Garden. This book is another one to contrast with superficially similar Young Adult novels, about which I have often been told by YA fans that "contemporary YA" is, like, totally contemporary and deep and dark and grim, man, and talks about serious shit and it's real life, man, and totally not juvenilia that gives a superficial treatment of growing-up issues or disturbing themes. And after that promising beginning, I wish I could say that I enjoyed The Cement Garden, but to the contrary, by the time I finished this mercifully brief book, I wanted a bleach bath. "I did not kill my father, but I sometimes felt I had helped him on his way." They are free to live however they choose, but they must preserve their terrible secret. After their parents die, four children are left alone in the family house. One of the world's most acclaimed novelists, New York Times best-selling author Ian McEwan has earned the Booker Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award.

Rebecca de mornay the shining7/7/2023 Years later, this culminated in his creation of a better, fuller miniseries version. King himself had a lot of hate for the film. I’m not the only one who thought that Kubrick crapped all over Stephen King’s book. Sure, it’s fun to watch Nicholson go nuts and abuse his family, but he’s not exactly my go-to actor for sympathetic characters, which was what his role should have been. If Nicholson’s Joker and Duvall’s Olive Oyl were swapped in for their characters in The Shining, no one would be the wiser. What was supposed to be a story about a family trying to keep itself together and a father trying to overcome alcoholism and pull his life together became in Kubrick’s hands an artsy horror shitshow featuring Jack Nicholson as Wolfman Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall as a mousy, goggle-eyed fashion atrocity. By the time I watched it all its horror moments had become cliché, but after reading Stephen King’s much better source material I’ve come to hate it pretty thoroughly. I’ve made it no secret that I really dislike Stanley Kubrick’s version of The Shining. Starring: Rebecca De Mornay, Steven Weber

Outlander go tell the bees7/7/2023 As I’ve mentioned in previous reviews, though, part of my problem is that I’ve never been a fan of the Lord John Grey spin-off series, and Lord John and his family have played an increasingly large part in these most recent novels when I would prefer to be reading about other characters. In this book, the final sequence – 100 pages or so – is excellent, but to get there you have to persist through 800 pages of irrelevant subplots that seem to lead nowhere and minor characters we barely know suddenly given large storylines of their own. This is the ninth Outlander novel and the last one that I really enjoyed was the sixth since then, each book has felt longer and less substantial than the one before. Sometimes I wonder why I’m continuing to read this series.

Audre lorde sister7/7/2023 (The last one even crops up in an episode of that totem of white female liberalism, HBO’s Girls, when Hannah Horvath ambles past a barista scrawling it on a chalkboard of an upstate college town.)Ī self-described “black lesbian feminist warrior poet,” Lorde had an exceptional ability to transform her “hopes and dreams toward survival and change” into beautifully actionable language. Quotes like “women are powerful and dangerous,” “the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house,” and “your silence will not protect you” are as meme-able as they are imperative. EVEN THE OCCASIONAL CONSUMER of progressive discourse in the United States is probably more familiar with Audre Lorde’s aphorisms than she might suspect.

The Burning Maiden by Greg Kishbaugh7/6/2023 The genre in which the story falls is not nearly as important as the story itself. But this can be an unfair burden, as writers are far less compartmentalized in their thinking. The motivation for this, of course, lies in commerce, as well as questionable (and outdated) notions about the consumer mind. They want a writer's work to fit neatly into a specific genre. Lansdale (Edge of Dark Water, Bullets and Fire) Matthew Pearl (The Dante Club, The Technologists) Louis Bayard (The School of Night, The Black Tower) Lyndsay Faye (The Gods of Gotham, Dust and Shadow) Charles Johnson (Middle Passage, Oxherding Tale) AND MORE Sixteen stories and poems that redefine the boundary between horror and literature FROM THE INTRODUCTION BY ANTHOLOGY EDITOR, GREG KISHBAUGH: THE BLURRED LINE Publishers love categories, as do bookstores.
