James Hogg went so far as to stage himself in the epilogue scene, thus making us constantly oscillate between the Gothic and satire. Even the editor of the story turns out to be unreliable, as are the many characters who appear as witnesses. The editor’s version aims to be objective, while that of Robert is presented as the testimony of a madman, but neither version of the story is consistent. The devil masquerades as Robert’s double, exacerbates his religious fanaticism until Robert kills his own brother George and finally commits suicide. These two narrators tell us a story, set in the 18 th century, of the devil appearing to a young man, Robert, who is indoctrinated by antinomian beliefs popular in 18 th-century Scotland. Il y a dans la somme d’un et un quelque chose qui n’existe ni dans l’un ni dans l’autre, le plus sans doute, et qui veut qu’un plus un fassent trois, de sorte que de l’opposition de Jekyll et Hyde naît l’Indifférent.ġPublished in 1824, Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner, by James Hogg, offers two versions of the same story, the first by an editor and the second by the protagonist.

But her uncle will soon learn that no cage is unbreakable. When he welcomes her and her siblings into his mansion, Antigone sees it for what it really is: a gilded cage, where she is a captive as well as a guest. Passing into the Archive should be cause for celebration, but with her militant uncle Kreon rising to claim her father's vacant throne, all Antigone feels is rage. Antigone’s parents-Oedipus and Jocasta-are dead. Without the Archive, where the genes of the dead are stored, humanity will end. While some will probably wish for a bit more world-building detail and deeper development of some themes, fans of the novella form will find a lot to like here. And above all, it is an argument that ought to make the reader pause for reflection. Nevertheless, it is an erudite and witty read. “I’m cursed, haven’t you heard?” Outside the last city on Earth, the planet is a wasteland. Arch-Conspirator (2023), by Veronica Roth, is a tautly written reimagining of Sophocles’ tragedy Antigone. Some of its stones find targets, others miss their mark. In this gripping and atmospheric reimagining of Antigone, #1 New York Time s bestselling author Veronica Roth reaches back to the root of legend and delivers a world of tomorrow both timeless and unexpected. Like most women, I prefer sex scenes that involve characters I care about, and that have emotional context as well as physical mechanics. Other times, I want to delve into the development of a single, committed relationship. “I don’t have the mindset that, ooh, romance is good and erotica is bad – or vice versa, as some writers of erotica would have you believe! Sometimes I want to write a story with plenty of sexual adventuring. I pulled a few of my favorite quotes from here here: The thoughtfulness with which Holly approached her work is evident throughout the conversation, and the whole post is worth a read. In 2000, Holly joined AAR’s founder Laurie for a conversation about sex and sexuality. Our reviewers have given her three DIKs, to her 2001 book Menage in addition to All U Can Eat and Fairyville. Readers here voted Holly the winner of Top Erotic Romance of the year twice (in 2006 for All U Can Eatand in 2007 for Fairyville). Many people remember her books as their first encounters with menages, and her heroes were among the first to be explicitly and openly bisexual. For writers and readers alike, her books expanded the definition of what was possible and permissible to publish. AAR was saddened to hear of the recent passing of Emma Holly, who was a trailblazer of erotic romance.

Graveside, he assures her that this day’s offering of two bunches of blossoms is “a one-off.”Ī more serious affront to Ove’s sense of justice arrives when he loses his job. It turns out that he’s no mere crotchety cheapskate but a grieving husband: The roses are for his wife’s grave, the one place he seems comfortable and quasi-chatty. To the artificial cheer of Muzak, Ove haggles with a store cashier over the price of cut flowers, unhappy to learn that his two-for-one coupon can’t be applied to the purchase of just a single bouquet. The opening sequence is a perfect example of what Holm gets right. She describes her dreams, old friends, some walks, several snippets of family history, a love affair, a play that she started writing but never finished. Solnit starts this collection of nine short, brilliant essays with a quotation that she was given by a student: "How will you go about finding that thing the nature of which is unknown to you?"įrom that springboard, she covers an amazing amount of ground, zigzagging through history, politics and art, wandering from subject to subject, lurching excitably from one thing to another. She probably doesn't even own a telly, but she is fascinated by how and why people get lost and, more importantly, what happens when they are found, find themselves or decide to stay lost. If they keep reading, they'll discover that Rebecca Solnit's intentions and obsessions aren't that different from their own. |
