The Infamous Gilberts
I love a haunted house story, and though this isn’t a novel about actual ghosts (for the most part), it is a story about how human lives haunt the places they played out in.
Women Authors
Most old books are written by men. These books were written by women.
My Men
My Men follows the life of Brynhild Storset who emigrates form Norway to the United States and eventually becomes Belle Gunness, arguably the first serial killer in American history.
Paradise Rot
What follows is a fever dream of decay and the juxtaposition of awakening and discovering blurred boundaries between individuals, bodies, sexuality, and plant life.
Lives of the Saints
If you think of the themes of a novel like a complex spiderweb, most of the time an overzealous use of repetition is akin to the author shoving the reader into the centre of it.
Cool For You
While their stories are funny tales of minimum-wage teenage drudgery, they are also stories of chafing at the world one inherits from their parents.
Fair Play
When you hear the name Tove Jansson, you probably automatically think of Moomin, but Jansson was much more than the exploits of everyone in Moomin Valley.
Grace Period
Leaving Lisbon and revisiting the small town he remembers only vaguely, he is accosted both with the familiarity and strangeness of locations he left so long ago.
Lulu in Hollywood
One of the things I need more of in this time of much overtime? I need more films — even if I don’t have the time for them.
Motion Sickness
Like the narrator, the novel wanders between past and present and often between locations themselves.
Forbidden Notebook
Forbidden Notebook is a testament to repeating patterns that keep women down and prevent them from being who they truly want to be or even seeing themselves as people at all.
