Rage of the dragons book5/23/2023 There’s a rigid hierarchical society, a demonic plain, plenty of sword fights, and one young man striving to achieve his goals. It’s a coming of age epic fantasy in the classic 70s and 80s tradition, with an African-inspired setting that brings some freshness to the genre. Tau is pretty hard to like, and yet his story is so compelling that I did find myself dragged along with him. It reminds me a lot of Karen Miller’s Godspeaker trilogy, in as much as it’s narrowly focused on the rise of a character hell-bent on revenge, and though their actions are understandable, you come to realise that they may not necessarily be all that morally clean themselves. The Rage of Dragons follows Tau, a young, low-status man whose world is rocked when he experiences the sharp end of the caste system he lives in, and swears an oath to become good enough to end the nobles who caused him such pain. Trigger warnings: Misogyny attempted rape both mentioned and seen rape mentioned battle gore discussion of blood purity and views of mixed race people as lesser, including the use of ‘savage’, ‘native’ and ‘heathen’ in perjorative ways. Ownership: Proof sent free of charge by Orbit. The Rage of Dragons is an epic, own-voices, African-inspired fantasy with a morally ambiguous protagonist you can’t help but be compelled by – but also a shocking absence of female characters with agency…

What Souls Are Made Of by Tasha Suri5/22/2023 Deep down in their souls, they can feel they are the same.īut when Catherine's father dies and the household's treatment of Heathcliff only grows more cruel, their relationship becomes strained and threatens to unravel. Catherine knows she must mold herself into someone pretty and good and marriageable, even though it might destroy her spirit.Īs they occasionally flee into the moors to escape judgment and share the half-remembered language of their unknown kin, Catherine and Heathcliff come to find solace in each other. Her father is grooming her for a place in proper society, and that's all that matters. As the abandoned son of a lascar-a sailor from India-Heathcliff has spent most of his young life maligned as an "outsider." Now he's been flung into an alien life in the Yorkshire moors, where he clings to his birth father's language even though it makes the children of the house call him an animal, and the maids claim he speaks gibberish.Ĭatherine is the younger child of the estate's owner, a daughter with light skin and brown curls and a mother that nobody talks about. Sometimes, lost things find their way home. Two British Indian teens cut off from their heritage find solace in each other in this gothic Wuthering Heights YA remix that subverts the default whiteness of the original text. In the Remixed Classics series, authors from marginalized backgrounds reinterpret classic works through their own cultural lens to subvert the overwhelming cishet, white, and male canon.

One weekend, my husband and I drove to Red Cloud, NE to see Willa Cather's childhood home. In 2009, I was teaching at Knox College in Galesburg, IL and working on final revisions for the memoir. In her own words, here is Neela Vaswani's Book Notes music playlist for her memoir, You Have Given Me a Country:įor my playlist, I picked songs that helped me access memories, created an atmosphere of in-betweenness, and generally influenced my writing-from theme to structure.ġ) Woody Guthrie, "This Land is Your Land" Lost verses included. The book follows the paths of Vaswani’s Irish-Catholic mother and Sindhi-Indian father on their journey towards each other and the biracial child they create." "The memoir blurs borders of genre and identity, exploring what it means to be bicultural in America. Neela Vaswani's memoir You Have Given Me a Country is a powerful, socially relevant book about the personal search for identity as a biracial person.īeautifully written, the book shares Vaswani's personal history as well as her parents' with a keen eye for detail and poetic elegance. In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published book.

They’re systematic and predictable-making us predictably irrational. Yet these misguided behaviors are neither random nor senseless. In his personal blog, Ariely said, "From drinking coffee to losing weight, from buying a car to choosing a romantic partner, we consistently overpay, underestimate, and procrastinate. Ariely also argues that these irrationalities, caused by crooking our reasoning abilities through expectations, emotions, social norms, and other apparently illogical, invisible factors, are not random and fitful, rather structured, predictable and repetitive. Throughout the book, the writer challenges one of the most fundamental principles of economics - the rationality of an economic entity while decision-making by incorporating everyday experience with groundbreaking research. Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely precisely shows how the interactions of cognitive psychology and economics play a vital role in our everyday decision-making.

Everybody Loves Our Town by Mark Yarm5/22/2023 Yarm has cleverly edited the interviews so that at times it feels like we're listening to a conversation or an argument. The stories of small clubs, teenage desperation, and bad behavior will resonate with anyone who came of age in a rock and roll milieu. Yarm is careful not to focus only on the bands that came to define grunge in the mainstream world. He chronicles the way in which the 1970s punk sensibility filtered through the gloom of the Pacific Northwest to create a unique sound%E2%80%94and put flannel shirts in the closets of millions of teenagers. Yarm conducted over 250 interviews with celebrities from Courtney Love to Eddie Vedder, as well as with the lesser-known musicians, producers, roadies, photographers, and fans who took part in the rise of Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Mudhoney, Soundgarden, Melvins, and many, many others. Music writer and former Blender editor Yarm has compiled a sprawling oral history of the Seattle music scene and the grunge phenomenon of the early 1990s.
