![]() ![]() ![]() Zero K initially seems like a break from the abstruse and impressionistic recent work. After maximalist, wholehearted novels such as Libra, White Noise and Underworld, DeLillo’s austere, mindful, laconic late novellas feel, like those of Philip Roth, as if they’re trying to deconstruct the machinery of fiction, to back away from the world. Endings are left untied, characters nameless and one-dimensional, plots thin and haphazard. D on DeLillo’s late period work, which we can date from 2001’s The Body Artist, has been marked by novels that are slim, stark, conceptual, and that seem designed to provide as few of the traditional satisfactions of the form as possible. ![]()

This fascination with self-discovery is a necessary part of the Bildungsroman narrative, but has also been exacerbated by the now century-old popular fascination with psychoanalysis. The effects of childhood abuse, neglect and terror are played out in these relationships, in which Jude both finds great love and, at times, struggles to understand his place within. The protagonist Jude’s early life, initially teasingly and then increasingly abruptly, is positioned in counterpoint to the adult Jude’s negotiation of relationships. Hanya Yanagihara’s Booker-shortlisted A Little Life (2015) should be located within this somewhat creaky tradition. It can be traced back through Jane Eyre to the origins of the novel with Daniel Defoe’s Moll Flanders (1722). The Bildungsroman, narratives that trace the relationship between child and adulthood, certainly has a long-standing, if never subtle, presence in the history of the novel in English. “The Child is father of the Man,” as Wordsworth’s famous axiom goes. ![]() ![]() They inadvertently create huge amounts of habitat for other creatures as well. The classic beaver behaviour is that they build dams to create ponds and wetlands that provide shelter and food. He also writes about becoming part of a growing coalition - AKA the Beaver Believers, subject of an eponymously named feature-length documentary - that works to restore their populations and make the scientific case for doing so.īut what's so special about beavers anyway? And that these “ecosystem engineers” can help humans fight drought, improve water quality and even address climate change. In Eager: The Surprising, Secret Life of Beavers and Why They Matter, Goldfarb makes the case that the near eradication of these once ubiquitous rodents had a profound impact on the North American continent’s landscapes and ecosystems - and by extension the environments of Europe and Asia. "Most of us can’t comprehend what North America looked like before fur traders arrived, trapping millions of beavers from the continent’s rivers and lakes." ![]() ![]() But at bottom he is an extraordinarily acute noticer of the world, human and natural. His reputation for "obscurity" is founded on such efforts. ![]() Lawrence is famous for his desire to capture the ineffable, to put into words the shifting ecstasies, both negative and positive, of the human soul in flux. The Rainbow is indeed full of "lovely things", yet it's rare to find detailed advocacy on behalf of its many verbal beauties. It is Lawrence's misfortune that this highly doctrinal and metaphysical writer is more often discussed doctrinally and metaphysically than aesthetically. Lawrence's religious language can sound merely religiose, and his attempts to describe the indescribable can lapse into ponderous, melodramatic floridity, as people wince through their wombs, swoon into helplessness, and feel flames of nausea in their bellies. There must be many who agree with the young Samuel Beckett, who read Lawrence's novella St Mawr in 1930, and afterwards wrote in a journal: "lovely things as usual and plenty of rubbish". ![]() I n several senses of the word, DH Lawrence is a difficult writer - difficult to follow at times, difficult to like at others. ![]() ![]() ![]() The catalyst for the current volume was a session on "Women, Femininity, and Public Space" held at the 2010 CAA conference in Chicago, which helped shape the conceptual framework and international perspective.

They all blended together, and so the politics all really blurred for me.įrom the beginning it felt like Schiff had a chip on her shoulder, another early fault. I lost track of which old guy was the minister, who was the governor, who was overseeing the courts, who was clerking. Realistic me thought it was, for a time, interesting to get into the politics of the puritans and 1600’s America. ![]() And I understand that it’s likely a lot easier to find information about the men in positions of power than it is women and men charged with witchcraft and teenage girls who accused them. You could point to the subtitle as an excuse for why this is acceptable. Instead, 80% of the book is focused on the old men in charge who let it happened. I’m referring to the fact that when I read “The Witches”, I’m assuming this book is going to focus on either the victims of the witch hangings or the young girls who caused them. No, I’m not referring to Schiff taking the pragmatic approach of assuming you realize that there likely wasn’t any real witches hung in Salem in 1692. The title is a contradiction from what’s presented in the book. My first issue with this book is the title pretty good place to start in terms of a list of grievances with a book. ![]() Sadly, The Witches by Stacy Schiff wasn’t what I was expecting, and what I got wasn’t enough to satisfy me. Maybe I went in with too many dreams of Arthur Miller and the tourist traps of Salem in my head. ![]() ![]() ![]() “Then he works with the students and is the key to their success.” “He has developed or redesigned most of these courses in the last two or three years,” Warren said.
