6/12/2023 0 Comments The collector by john fowles![]() ![]() ![]() In 1965, The Collector was adapted into an Academy Award nominated motion picture directed by William Wyler. Upon its release in 1963, The New York Times raved, “There is not a page in this first novel which does not prove that its author is a master storyteller.” The Collector is the first novel by John Fowles, whose multilayered fiction frequently explores the tensions between free will and the constraints of society, even as it plays with traditional novelistic conventions, and challenges readers to find their own interpretations. ![]() ![]() The novel contains both the perspective of the captor and the captive. Disturbing, engrossing, and utterly unforgettable, The Collector is the story of Frederick’s obsessive love for Miranda, as he kidnaps her and holds her prisoner in the cellar of his rural farmhouse. When Frederick, a lonely clerk who collects butterflies, sets his gaze upon Miranda, a beautiful young art student, he discovers something more beautiful, rare and precious than any butterfly he’s ever seen. Hailed as the first modern psychological thriller, The Collector is the bestselling novel that catapulted John Fowles into the front rank of contemporary novelists. ![]() 6/12/2023 0 Comments Again but better![]() ![]() I loved the premise it seemed like something I would immediately fall in love with.

Emily Henry may be the author to break me of this mindset. I have this sort of prejudiced view that they’re all the same predictable mishmash of character stereotypes, cheesiness, and repetitive descriptions of washboard abs. Let me be honest here- I’ve never been one to read a whole lot of romance novels. ![]() 6/11/2023 0 Comments David lurie disgrace![]() ![]() In 2009–2011 she worked as editor in chief of the Helsinki based cultural magazine Ny Tid. Her doctoral dissertation A Literary Turn (University of Helsinki, 2009) treated the roles of narrative literature in contemporary analytic moral philosophy. June 2013: Nora Hämäläinen is a post-doctoral researcher affiliated with the University of Helsinki. I argue that reading Disgrace in terms of any pre-given ethical formula, however compelling, may be problematic considering the nature of Coetzee's authorship. I discuss how the novel yields to this kind of reading, but also how this path of reading is complicated by its various other features, above all, a plurality of values that may be hard to reconcile and a Christian perspective of grace which is played against the novels secular, intellectual perspective on perceptiveness. This path of criticism is paradigmatic of a broader interest in studying literary works as paths to moral philosophical illumination. Coetzee's novel Disgrace this paper discusses the contemporary genre of reading literature in terms of an "ethics of perception." In the fourteen years since its publication the novel has elicited a rich body of commentary and criticism with an ethical edge, often focusing on the unfolding vision or stunted but developing perceptiveness of its uneasy protagonist David Lurie. ![]() 6/10/2023 0 Comments Drawing Blood by Poppy Z. Brite![]() Self-made Man/ His Mouth will Taste of Wormwood/ Are You Loathesome Tonight - short stories, published under three different titles.Here follows what is hopefully a complete list of her books: In between writing, she has worked as a "candymaker, mouse caretaker, artist's model, short order cook, and stripper".** She was born in 1967 in New Orleans, and (as of 2000) lives there with her partner Chris, three dogs, 19 cats and a king snake. She claims to be in the latter category.* ![]() ![]() Regarding claims of gothness, in an interview with Bizarre magazine she makes the distinction between visigoths who are active and visible on the scene, and ostragoths who sit in their bedrooms all day. If you like them, however, and wouldn't say no to a bunch of music references while you're at it, Ms. She should probably be avoided if you're squeamish about any of the above. ![]() Having read her novels and short stories, her writing seems to centre around death, the undead, sex, drugs, New Orleans, goths and homosexuality. Many writers create images that you can see Ms. She is never one to skimp on the grisly details, creating some amazingly-textured descriptions. Brite's writing style is best described as ' visceral'. ![]() 6/10/2023 0 Comments Realize by Susan Hawke![]() ![]() ![]() Every Men of Hidden Creek novel can be enjoyed on its own, but keep an eye out for familiar faces around town!

NAMED A BEST BOOK OF 2017 BY THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW, LOS ANGELES TIMES, WASHINGTON POST, BOSTON GLOBE, SEATTLE TIMES, CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR, NEWSWEEK, PASTE, and POP SUGAR WINNER OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY'S HELEN BERNSTEIN BOOK AWARD WINNER OF THE 2017 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD IN NONFICTIONįINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARDS ![]() 6/10/2023 0 Comments Thornyhold by Mary Stewart![]() Jilly's life is lightened only by the periodic appearances of her older cousin Geillis, who brings a breath of fresh air, love, a little white magic, and encouragement. The main character, Geillis (Jilly), is very sympathetic: the first three chapters relate her lonely childhood, with a distant father and harsh mother. In any case Mary Stewart's penchant for lengthy, lovingly detailed descriptions of scenery is in full bloom here, so to speak. This book centers around a charming, soul-satisfying place where a young woman can finally find herself, and the plot is more location-driven than action-driven. Thornyhold is on a slightly different wavelength than Stewart's earlier romantic suspense novels although there are both a mystery and a romance in this book, both are somewhat understated. ![]() Thornyhold is also a charming ode to the English country life and the healing that a lovely old home can bring to your life. ![]() Mary Stewart (perhaps inspired by her Merlin books that she'd been writing) wrote this sweet romance with a dash of magical realism, as our heroine dabbles in white magic of the hedgewitch variety, like crystal balls and potions. ![]() This is maybe 3.75 stars for me, but if I'm judging it just as a comfort read, that and my general love for all things Mary Stewart push it to a solid 4 stars. Next up group read with the Mary Stewart group, October 2019. ![]() |
