The settled protagonist is Marjorie Westriding Yrarier. And Grass' hunt-addicted aristocracy on their estates called estancias is certainly a glib-tipped dart at the historically-suffocating patriarchy of the Medieval Ages. Befittingly, father figures are adversarial and/or deluded, drawn by their hate and bigotry. There's usually a pillow fight going on in the subtext flavoring an ecofeminist PoV without the pithy seasonings sometimes affecting the sex wars. But everyone should read at least one of her novels. More often than naught, however, it seems these complex mixings of sidebar stories into the arterial plotting, plus a shaker or two of excess characters with a modicum of personality peppering landscapes that are divergent, alien, and elusive to visualize -well, it tastes overly-spiced, leaving the climax and resolution heavy with feeling mere accomplishment for just finishing the novel.īut I wouldn't change a single, solitary word of the marvelous alphabet soup of Grass. She's always stirring the word cauldron for a variation on the standard recipes, and using a fanciful spoon like broomsticks from Fantasia to give us one delightful taste after another. Then she sat down and put her head between her trembling knees and tried to think of nothing at all. She put the dry, crumbling thing on Lees Bergrem's table. 5/11/2023 0 Comments Book normal peopleEven more than Pride and Prejudice, this novel has an awful lot in common with Sally Rooney’s Normal People. While there are many modern books like Normal People, it’s never a bad idea to go back and enjoy one of English literature’s best-loved authors, especially when she can offer us Pride and Prejudice, one of the best books like Normal People.īuy a copy of Pride and Prejudice here! North and South by Elizabeth GaskellĪ criminally underrated novel that shares much of Pride and Prejudice’s DNA is one of my favourite 19th century novels: Elizabeth Gaskell’s North and South. With that in mind, fans of Normal People would do well to travel back in time and build a happy stack of Jane Austen novels to work through.Īnd it works out nicely that most Austen fans would recommend beginning with her most famous work: Pride and Prejudice, which also happens to be the Austen book that is most like Normal People. And no writer today does the same thing better than Sally Rooney. I’d go so far as to call Rooney the Austen of the 21st century.įans of Austen’s novels, especially Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion, and Emma, know that Austen was as interested in satirising the class politics and social dynamics of her period as she was in telling a good love story or family drama.Īusten was a genius at deconstructing and poking fun at those wrapped up in class politics. I’ve seen some, but perhaps not enough, comparisons between Sally Rooney and Jane Austen. 5/11/2023 0 Comments Jackie chan bruce leeEven though Jackie Chan was completely fine, he started moaning in pain just so Bruce Lee would hold on to him as long as possible. When the director yelled cut, Lee rushed over to Chan and immediately apologised for injuring him. Being the professional that he was, Lee continued to act out the scene after hitting Jackie Chan with a stick across his face. Jackie Chan was very much in awe of Bruce Lee while working on Enter the Dragon as well, so much so that he engaged in a fight with Lee and pretended to be extremely hurt just so he could get the attention of the star. He was a really good talker! Because he was born in the US, he was more open than us.” The way he talked, the way he punched, even the way he spoke was impressive. He was the king of martial arts, and I just admired him. In an interview, Jackie Chan spoke about Lee’s impact on his life: “He influenced me a lot, but I knew I could never be him. 5/11/2023 0 Comments Anne carson glassI always find it odd when the writing that speaks to me the most was brought into existence the same year of my birth. This poem was published the year of my birth and likely (or at least I like to imagine) it was written the month I was born. While at grips with loss, Anne describes long morning walks across the moor, her feet digging into the wet earth of early April, apparitions of nude women who appear to her during nightly visions, feverish dreams of a formless anger that leaves her sweaty and restless in bed, and the growing resemblance she observes between her and the reclusive Emily Bronte. This essay is a long and unraveling portrait of a woman’s grief, which she examines while visiting her aging mother who lives on a moor in northern Canada. My face in the bathroom mirror has white streaks down it. Thinking of the man who left in September. Night drips its silver tap down the back. Anne Carson’s The Glass Essay opens: I I can hear little clicks inside my dream.
