Wolitzer is almost crushingly insightful she doesn't just mine the contemporary mind, she seems to invade it. "The Interestings" kept me in a state of alert recognition of the self, sometimes delighted and often chagrined. Her 2003 novel "The Wife" was a fury of ambitious writing on the topic of spousal inequities and simultaneously, male-female literary ambition.īut "The Interestings" is exactly the kind of book that literary sorts who talk about ambitious works (at least in the nonexperimental vein) are talking about: It's fat with pages and plot and loaded with thinly veiled cultural references, relevant social commentary and emotional themes - particularly envy and regret. I don't want to insult Meg Wolitzer by calling her sprawling, engrossing new novel, "The Interestings," her most ambitious, because throughout her 30-year career of turning out well-observed, often very funny books at a steady pace, I have no doubt she has always been ambitious. It adds depth to his background and motivations, and provides new glimpses into the politics and dangers of life in Dauntless. His journey deliberately shadows Tris’s transfer in ‘Divergent’, but gives another perspective on why someone might leave their community to start a new life in another faction. In ‘The Transfer’, Four tells the story of his Choosing Ceremony, and the home life that led him to transfer from Abnegation to Dauntless. It’s a great insight into a favourite character’s perspective, feelings, and back story. The final Divergent book contains four short stories, along with three pivotal scenes from the trilogy, all narrated by Four/Tobias. Following a recommendation from my YA-reading niece (thank you!), I finally completed the series – and I’m very pleased I did! It’s been ages since I read the Divergent Trilogy – devoured it, in fact – but I never got round to reading Four. The reader discovers Roland’s upbringing, how he survives the Jedi-like training to become a gunslinger, and how his world is before all hell tears it down. Throughout the series, but particularly in the third book, Wizard and Glass, Stephen King provides the back story of Roland Deschain. If it were me, I’d be hightailing to this tower and hopping into a world that actually had dependable plumbing and Wi-Fi. In this setting, Roland Deschain, the last gunslinger (basically a cowboy Jedi with guns instead of a lightsaber), is on a quest to find The Dark Tower to find answers or solutions for his world. Many animals and humans alike have evolved into grotesque beings of primal savagery. Technological advances of the past are useless and forgotten. The Dark Tower series is a world where many of the settings have the same names and similar history to the present-day United States – specifically The West – but either through an alternate timeline or perhaps a future timeline, this world is dusty, rusted, tired, and dying, or “moving on” (crawling into that good night). This seemingly odd combination became an engaging and elaborate eight-part series that finally came to its conclusion in 2012 (or did it?). Stephen King began writing in the horror genre, but from the 1980’s and moving forward, he tried his typewriter in both the fantasy and western genres. For over 30 years, Stephen King incorporated all of his novels into one series titled The Dark Tower (“one series to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them”). Richard Vale, speaking with subject Jane Charlotte, of…What’s your current home address? Holding the tape recorder to his lips, he recites: June 5th, 2002, approximately nine forty-five a.m. As for why I’m in this room, with you, I guess that has something to do with what I told the detectives who arrested me. I’m in jail because I killed someone I wasn’t supposed to, she says, matter-of-factly. Unless they moved the room… Then: Las Vegas, Clark County Detention Center. When she shrugs, he asks: Do you know where you are? I’m here to interview you, if that’s all right. He shuts the door and comes over to the table. A man in a white coat steps in, bringing more props: a file folder and a handheld tape recorder. Occasionally the woman glances up at the photo, or at the door that is the room’s only exit, but mostly she stares at her hands, and waits. A photograph of a smiling politician hangs on the wall above the table. Her hands are cuffed in front of her she is dressed in an orange prison jumpsuit whose bright hue seems dull in the whiteness. Not featureless, but close enough to raise suspicion that its few contents are all crucial to the upcoming drama.Ī woman sits in one of two chairs drawn up to a rectangular white table. IT’S A ROOM AN UNINSPIRED PLAY-wright might conjure while staring at a blank page: White walls. And its discussion of representation immediately tips us off that, sniff sniff, we can smell an allegory headed our way. It comes from the preface to Volume III of Robinson Crusoe, also written by Defoe. Actually, this quote doesn’t come from A Journal of the Plague Year. But more than homage to another writer with similar tastes for subject matter, this epigraph, like all good epigraphs, gives us a hint about how to read this novel. Much like the narrator of The Plague, the storyteller of A Journal of the Plague Year doesn’t reveal his identity until the very end, and even then only with his initials. It’s likely that Camus used this as a reference – or, you know, as some comforting bedtime reading. "It is as reasonable to represent one kind of imprisonment by another, as it is to represent anything that really exists by that which exists not." –Daniel Defoe Who is this man Defoe? What is this about? Well, first of all, Daniel Defoe wrote fictional book in 1722 called A Journal of the Plague Year about, yes, that’s right, a plague that ravages London the 17th century.

Fire Season both evokes and honors the great hermit celebrants of nature, from Dillard to Kerouac to Thoreauand I loved it.J.R. “Philip Connors has crafted a book illumined by the gob-smacked, wide-eyed, inquisitional wonder at creation that moves writing about the natural world into the realm of the most necessary texts. Students will be fascinated by Connors’ story as they discover why lookouts are known as “freaks on the peaks.” Writing with the gusto, charm, and sense of history of Ian Frazier or Tony Horwitz, Connors captures the wonder and grandeur of this most unusual job and place: the eerie pleasure of solitude the strange dance of communion and mistrust with animals and the majesty and might of wildfires at their wildest. This is one of the most undeveloped parts of the country, the first region designated as an official wilderness area in the world, and one of the most fire-prone: each year it’s hit by lightning more than 30,000 times. For nearly a decade the acclaimed young writer Philip Connors has spent half of each year in a 7’x7’ fire lookout tower, 10,000-feet up in a remote part of New Mexico.
