So yes, polygamy and arbitrary divorce would be outlawed (a feature derived from Hindu Personal Law). Or are uniform laws meant to ensure justice for women in marriage and inheritance? In that case, a Uniform Civil Code would simply put together the best gender-just practices from all Personal Laws. For nearly eight decades, the women’s movement has discussed and debated the desirability and feasibility of a Uniform Civil Code, and has ended up posing a simple question - what is the value of uniformity? Is it for the “integrity of the nation” that uniformity in laws is required, as some judicial pronouncements have suggested? If so, who exactly is the beneficiary? Which sections of people benefit from “integrity of the nation”, that abstract entity which is not exactly at the top of your mind as your husband throws you out on the street? He’s settled in Brooklyn now, where he has been living for a number of years.Īs somewhat harrowing and frenzied as the book can be, the essays also trace indelible moments of joy and a lifelong devotion to books and reading. That past spans living in the Catholic Worker’s homeless shelter in Boston, to living and working in the bars of San Francisco, to acting in a few porn flicks, and to round things out, Fitzgerald spent time in Burma, working with a group called Free Burma Rangers smuggling medical supplies over the Thai-Burmese border. Alexander Chee’s blurb on the back of Isaac Fitzgerald’s recently published bestselling memoir, Dirtbag, Massachusetts, reads: “He’s a ringleader for the circus in the House of Love.” And after reading this book, I think most people would agree that Isaac Fitzgerald is certainly at least that, and then some.ĭirtbag, Massachusetts is a memoir-in-essays about how a lost soul with a diamond heart manages to figure out - after a series of jet-fueled, drug-addled escapades - how to put together a life out of all the pieces left in the wreckage of his past.

Con el lenguaje duro y el pulso vibrante al que nos tiene acostumbrados, Emilio Bueso se supera en una historia perversa que demuestra por qu se ha convertido en el autor. Aldana Reyes shows that Spanish writers and filmmakers firmly belong in transnational, transmedia Gothic while providing Spanish Gothic with a distinct identity. Extraos Eones es una novela de tcnicas y discurso realistas que plantea una audaz vuelta de tuerca al ncleo de los Mitos de Cthulhu.

Weimer, Professor of Spanish at Oklahoma State University, USA) Aldana Reyes achieves all three in his ambitious, rewarding Spanish Gothic, an impressively researched book that maps unexplored common ground for scholars of Gothic and Hispanic Studies alike.” (Christopher B. “Worthwhile literary criticism aspires to three not always compatible goals: originality, erudition and clarity. The historical sweep of his work brings forth new insights on the reach of the Gothic beyond the Anglophone and reveals Spanish culture as steeped in a tradition that is as familiar worldwide as it is peculiarly its own.” (Prof Ann Davies, Chair in Spanish and Latin American Studies at Stirling University, UK, and author of Contemporary Spanish Gothic (2016)) “Aldana Reyes's new book will become the go-to text on Spanish Gothic. A gripping tale from beginning to end, Desdemona and the Deep is a great read for anyone who loves a good fairy story. On the surface, Desdemona’s world is rife with. But their journey is still a well-crafted one. Everyday low prices on a huge range of new releases and classic fiction. Cooney’s Desdemona and the Deep drops readers into an uncanny, richly painted underworld reminiscent of the early twentieth century. The shortened format means that Chaz and Desdemona’s story almost feels cut short because we don’t get to see as much of the worlds below as we might in a longer novel. The one drawback to Cooney’s latest novella is also one of the things that makes it so fun: It’s a novella. Another thing that makes Cooney’s world building remarkable is that, unlike many fantasy writers, she isn’t content to plop a society much like ours onto a foreign set. Within the confines of novella, it is a feat. That the three worlds are so distinct would be impressive in a much longer book. One of the things that makes Desdemona and the Deep so compelling is that in its scant pages, Cooney manages to sketch the boundaries and vagaries of not just one fantastic world, but of three. Tor.com Publishing is proud to announce that consulting editor Ellen Datlow has acquired a new novella from award-winning author C. Cooney combines 1920s luxury with deeply felt. And while those reads are enjoyable, sometimes a good novella is just what the librarian ordered. A goblin market narrative thats also a steep drop into an uncanny, richly painted underworld, C.S.E. Sometimes it can feel as if the world of science fiction and fantasy is nothing but epic tales spanning thousands of pages and dozens of books. Though some readers may struggle to find their footing in the somewhat amorphous setting, Fuller builds suspense over the twins’ fate and ends with a brilliant twist. As the two struggle with making ends meet, another tragedy changes their lives and Jeanie comes to learn the truth behind their mother’s subterfuge that kept them by her side all her life. It is a portrait of life on the fringes of society that explores with dazzling emotional power how we can build our lives on broken foundations, and spin light from darkness. The precariousness of their existence comes to the fore when their landlord’s wife evicts them. Unsettled Ground is a heart-stopping novel of betrayal and resilience, love and survival. Additionally, Jeanie, felled by rheumatic fever as a child, never learned to read and write, which has rendered even the most mundane tasks into almost insurmountable challenges. Julius, who’s made do with odd jobs, has some social savvy, while his sister, who helped her mother in their extensive garden by supplying eggs and produce to a local market, has had little contact with the outside world. Upon Dot’s death, the twins’ lives are upended. Jeanie and Julius Seeder reside in the small cottage they grew up in with their widowed mother, Dot, who’s just turned 70. Fuller ( Bitter Orange) follows a pair of 51-year-old twins leading an extremely sheltered life in present-day rural England in this evocative and wondrously anachronistic tale. Claire Fuller’s latest novel Unsettled Ground has recently been announced as appearing on the long list for the Women’s Prize for Fiction 2021.

Author realized the reason behind the extraordinary success is narrowing your focus to the one thing. Her life had become so confined that she seemed to be living in a small, dark box. A distant noise, a half-heard voice, a snatched moment of indirect contact. She didn't feel so completely alone then, as she did in the night.įor Rose Shepherd, this was the world. There might be the sound of a van in the street as someone headed off for an early shift at the quarry, or the rumble of a farmer's tractor in the field behind the house. She often spent the hours of darkness waiting for the first bird to sing, watching for the greyness of dawn, when she knew there'd be people moving about in the village. She'd started to think of it as an old friend, because it was always with her. Lack of sleep made her head ache, and her body had grown stiff with discomfort.īut sleeplessness was familiar to Miss Shepherd. Beneath her, the sheet was twisted into painful knots, the pillow hard and unyielding. By the early hours of the morning, her bed was like a battleground-hot, violent, chaotic.
