Malcolm lowry 19476/12/2023 In the case of Malcolm Lowry, I've tried it both ways. It's odd to think how much a literary reputation depends on the author's implicit offer - or threat - to do it again. How do we parlay the author of one great book into "a great author"? It's easy to stick to the great book, which you can read over and over, but you're left with the problem of one. And there is Ivan Goncharov, whose Oblomov I would be tempted to say is at least half a great book (in part two, if I remember, the sensationally supine Oblomov gets up and becomes a regulation protagonist, at which point I felt like a good lie-down myself). (Lowry had the least support - friends, family, serenity, health, money, jobs, work, pull, luck - of any writer I can think of.) Then there is the Austrian Jew Joseph Roth, another drunk in whom I've taken a special interest, author of the great novel of the dual monarchy, The Radetzky March. Malcolm Lowry (1909-1957), the English expatriate and alcoholic, is the author of Under the Volcano, set during one day in Mexico and written over the course of 10 years in circumstances of sublime obscurity and hardship in a fisherman's shack without water or electricity on the Canadian Pacific coast. What do we do with the author of one great book? It doesn't happen all that much, but it remains a category that challenges the way we think about books and about writers.

How women rise book6/11/2023 They worked harder than their male counterparts. She learned that many younger female employees in law, accounting, and consulting were consistent, conscientious and had the ability to deliver high-standard work. She learned from these interviews that most younger women struggled with the word ‘I’- a reluctance to take credit for personal achievements. Sally Helgesen, with the aim of finding out what behaviours successful professional women saw in their younger counterparts, started interviewing a number of women successful in their respective careers. The Struggle To Claim One’s Own Accomplishments She also shows how women can rise from their positions and pursue that coveted leadership position in any career. She points out unconscious learned behaviours that hold women back. How Women Rise (2018), by Sally Helgesen and Marshall Goldsmith, calls out the many bad habits women have that hinder their progress in the corporate world. Women on the other hand are often left with supporting roles – roles that are associated with gender-biased qualities – than leadership roles. They are often held to different standards, while men in the same positions are rewarded for being assertive and taking risks. However, despite many successes, women still face numerous challenges. Where once women world-over were considered the inferior gender, many women have made their mark in the corporate world. Women have made tremendous progress, especially career-wise. Writing Great Fiction by James Hynes6/11/2023 Even if you don’t have ambitions of penning the next Moby-Dick, you'll find value in exploring all the elements of fiction.įrom evoking a scene to charting a plot to revising your drafts, Writing Great Fiction: Storytelling Tips and Techniques offers a master class in storytelling. There is a craft to storytelling that can be learned, and studying writing techniques can be incredibly rewarding - both personally and professionally. Writing great fiction isn't a gift reserved for the talented few. It's tough to know where to get started, what details to include in each scene, and how to move from the kernel of an idea to a completed manuscript. But as any writer can tell you, the blank page can be daunting. Whether you're huddled around the campfire, composing an email to a friend, or sitting down to write a novel, storytelling is fundamental to human nature. The darkest whisper by gena showalter6/11/2023 Gwen, on the other hand, grew up confused by the conflict of her violent harpy nature with her softer, angelic side. It doesn’t help that he’s totally focused on the leader of the Hunters, Galen, and willing to use anybody if it means reaching his goal. His girlfriends have a tendency to kill themselves, which puts a real damper on his love life. His is Doubt, constantly needling at the psyches of those around him. Sabin, like all the Lords of the Underworld, contains a demon. That’s the kind of badass beginning an immortal warrior and his harpy love deserve.Īnd if you like your romantic leads best when they’re overcoming large obstacles, you’ll love Sabin and Gwen. Heck, The Darkest Whisper begins mid-battle. She pulls you into the story and gets things moving immediately. Now, she’s no Kresley Cole, but I definitely enjoy her writing. This was my second Lords of the Underworld novel and third Gena Showalter overall. Paranormal romance released by HQN 25 Aug 09 Liviania’s review of The Darkest Whisper (Lords of the Underworld, Book 4) by Gena Showalter I have been trying over the last few years to read the second edition of Brothers' book for an updated review, but so far I am struggling to get through. Mushroom Clouds and Mushroom Men, a self-published exploration of the sci-fi/horror films of Ishiro Honda by Peter Brothers, is much better, but still suffered from poor editing and, at least for me, was tiresome to read. Books like Titans of Toho and Memories from Monster Island and There Goes Tokyo all follow the same basic, uninspired format: funny reviews of monster movies. Over the last few years I have gotten increasingly cynical about self-published books. Nevertheless, I am striving to be as even and fair as possible in this review. 1: 1954-1980ĭisclaimer: While reading the first book in the "Big Book" series, I have gotten to know John LeMay over email and even discussed working on future books together.

She had a rich imagination and often her stories became melodramas that she and her sisters would act out for friends. Like her character, Jo March in Little Women, young Louisa was a tomboy: "No boy could be my friend till I had beaten him in a race," she claimed, " and no girl if she refused to climb trees, leap fences."įor Louisa, writing was an early passion. Louisa spent her childhood in Boston and in Concord, Massachusetts, where her days were enlightened by visits to Ralph Waldo Emerson’s library, excursions into nature with Henry David Thoreau and theatricals in the barn at Hillside (now Hawthorne’s "Wayside"). She and her three sisters, Anna, Elizabeth and May were educated by their father, philosopher/ teacher, Bronson Alcott and raised on the practical Christianity of their mother, Abigail May.
