![]() ![]() ![]() We learn that Oji was born on the same day as his grandmother’s death, with a scar like a “soft starfish” on his foot that matched hers. He is alive, then dead, then alive again, sometimes all in the same paragraph, setting up a framework in which his posthumous narration makes perfect sense. One minute we’re with Oji in childhood, playing with his mother’s jewellery, “placing one of the necklaces against his sternum, over his silver chain, clipping his ears with the earrings … so beautiful he made the air around him dull”, the next we’re once again in the burned-down market. “They burned down the market the day Vivek Oji died,” it begins, interspersing recollections of Oji from friends and family with snippets of his own testimony from beyond the grave. Their new novel occupies a similar spiritual plane. A kwaeke Emezi’s Women’s prize-longlisted debut Freshwater was narrated by the multiple selves inhabiting a young Nigerian woman who was born with “one foot on the other side”. ![]() ![]() Force of Nature, Jane Harper (Macmillan Australia, Pan Macmillan Australia).Working Class Man, Jimmy Barnes (HarperCollins Publishers, HarperCollins Publishers).Unmasked, Turia Pitt (Ebury Australia, Penguin Random House Australia).Unbreakable, Jelena Dokic and Jess Halloran (Ebury Australia, Penguin Random House Australia).Tracker, Alexis Wright (Giramondo Publishing, Giramondo Publishing Company).Danger Music, Eddie Ayres (Allen & Unwin, Allen & Unwin).The ABIA Voting Academy is made up of over 250 representatives from across the bookselling and publishing industry as well as additional specialist experts.

A solitary figure was coming toward him from the other. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. Nineteen Eighty-Four (Book 2, Chapter 1) Lyrics It was the middle of the morning, and Winston had left his cubicle to go to the lavatory. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives.

I’ve seen many polished and articulate startup pitches before. In exchange for the money, the cousins promise the Dragons a 20 per cent stake in their company. The catch is that they need a $5 million investment to buy the land and to purchase the equipment needed to extract the gold. The two say that they’ve found an easy way to extract vein of gold on the Klondike River, south of Dawson City. Their names are Jordan and Darien, and they’re here to pitch the Dragons on their gold mining business.

This gave him pause, and in pondering what he had just seen, or thought he had seen, he surmised that it could be possible that the bird he first saw may have physically transformed itself into the leaf that he found. As he drew nearer, he realized that what he was certain was a bird was actually a dead leaf, rocking back and forth in the wind. As he was walking to his car one afternoon, he noticed a fluttering object up ahead of him, trapped in the corner of the structure, that appeared to be a distressed bird most likely injured and unable to fly. During the Q & A session after he read his latest collection's titular piece, Evenson shared a personal story that had occurred in a parking garage just days before.

After trying to get through Labyrinth I'm glad that it wasn't. I read The Winter Ghosts by the same author recently and really enjoyed it, and felt that it should have been longer. I get that the author knew what she was talking about she wrote 500 pages about it. It reminded me of when you write assignments at school and you have to put quotes and references in to prove you know what you're talking about. The thing that finally stopped me from reading was the amount of French phrases throughout it. I did try to get through it but it felt like a chore to read. ![]() ![]() After reading that many pages of a book you should feel like you know the characters, but they bored me. Labyrinth which originally aired in Canada, Sweden, Korea, Portugal, and Poland in 2012, and the UK in 2013 it aired here last Thursday and Friday on the CWfeatures two heroines, Alaïs. The main characters lacked personality and I didn't like any of them. It could have done with a very thorough edit before it made it to print. It was incredibly slow-going and the flowery prose, littered with cliche, odd word usage and unnecessary description, was hard work to read. I abandoned this book about a fifth of the way in. I've been wanting to read it for a while, but noticed it shortly after I'd finished reading Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, and as it sounded similar I decided to leave it a while before I picked it up. I was really disappointed with this book. ![]() ![]() ![]() He wrote of the books he read, and the other work he encountered. Van Gogh wrote to Theo about many things, his work, his inspiration and his fascination with various facets of life. Most of his letters, however, were addressed to his brother Theo. In his life, he sent hundreds of letters to his friends and family. Van Gogh was an avid reader, and it is relatively a little known fact that he also wrote letters. ![]() In little over a decade, he achieved what hundreds of thousands of artists struggled to achieve in a lifetime. Van Gogh didn’t begin painting until his late twenties, and he died at the age of 37. There can be no study of art without encountering Vincent van Gogh. These letters form the autobiography that van Gogh never wrote. The Letters of Vincent Van Gogh is a collection of letters written by the artist to his friends and especially to his brother, Theo. ![]() |
