“I saw all my years at once, but they were not piled up on each other, experience after experience, building into something of substance – the opposite. In Zadie Smith’s opening to her Swing Time, the protagonist is sitting in London’s Royal Festival Hall on the South Bank of the Thames, having walked aimlessly from the apartment she’s been hiding out in, opposite Lord’s Cricket Ground in St John’s Wood into the city, crossed the river and spontaneously bought a ticket to an event.ĭuring this “conversation with an Austrian film director” they show this clip, which she is very familiar with from her own childhood obsession, and watching it now, she realises how much she has been a shadow in the lives of others, never taking centre stage in her own life, despite the strong passion for music and dance she has had within her all along. In the end they give up and walk off leaving him alone to continue, enrapturing his audience. The original Swing Time is a film clip of Fred Astaire dancing on stage at a cabaret, with a giant screen behind him, in which three shadow versions of himself attempt to keep up with his energy, his footwork, his dance.

Not to mention what happens when snow begins to fall and it becomes apparent that most of the UK does come to a standstill - just when Jamie’s relatives need picking up from the airport.

It almost seems as if Fate steps in on his behalf, and I loved the “solution” the author came up with to ensure things go a lot more smoothly than expected. So when Jamie meets a potential new boyfriend just before his aunt and grandmother fly in for a visit, he is a little worried. His parents and mother’s British family know he is gay, but his father’s Malaysian/Chinese family are not yet aware. In this story, Jamie has just been through a bad breakup, has had to move back home and work in the family restaurant, and a lot of people worry about him. Friends and family can be particularly insistent on seeing “their own” happy, particularly around Christmas. I note there are now distinctions between GameLIT and LitRPG (No idea what that is though) and thankfully, finally HaremLIT, (an example Eric Vall who wrote 111 books 2018-2020 according to that is over 3 a month none stop imagine the quality that must produce? Or lack there of.) I say thankfully because for a time when they were all lumped together under LitRPG, due to the prolific publication of HaremLit trash their authors used to top the polls when you searched for LitRPG and you had a devil of a time finding anything new worth reading from generic searches. a huge to do between some of the top 'litrpg' authors at the time and threats of canceling books due to sueing for usage of the term." Public_Sandwich_9232? What exactly is trademarked and how does it affect anyone other than Aleron Kong? Not "LitRPG" which is a generic term for the genre and pre-existed. Query - I was told the trademarked term was " father of american LitRPG" and therefore ONLY applicable to him. I LOVE the land series and eagerly await more with baited breath. I like the Harry Potter books, and the Ender's games books, and I will read sequels regardless of the politics. And to be honest, authors views, politics or behaviours have never influenced whether or not I like a book or would read a sequel. I got various views re this rammed down my throat on various forums where I started out saying how much I liked the Land series. In my book Flight to the Top of the World: The Adventures of Walter Wellman I show that the race to the North Pole and the birth of aviation overlapped with the growth of modern media culture: instant news, novelty, sensationalism, and superficial celebrity.

Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression – and the Unexpected Solutions by Johann Hari When I read YA as an adult, I often think about what my younger self would make of it. I was intrigued by Lies We Sing to the Sea, not only because of its clever premise, but because it’s a YA novel. Regardless, these books consistently give voices to women that both history and myth have refused to previously, and for that, I will continue to pick these novels up. The recent influx of the feminist Greek myth retelling genre has birthed both incredible literary ventures like Circe or Daughters of Sparta, and some books that are decidedly less extraordinary. In our Lies We Sing to the Sea book review, we want to illuminate how Sara Underwood uses the universality of teenage problems to let people know they aren’t alone, making Greek mythology more approachable in the process. 2021 Among the eight human fossils unearthed there are the pinkie, three bones from Neanderthals, and even one from a child with one Neanderthal and one Denisovan parent.
