לא באנו להנות by Etgar Keret5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() A history devoid of dates and names, a chronicle of sensations and fears and smells: her own private history. All she had was a giant mosaic composed of countless shards of memories and experience-fragments. ![]() She lost her entire family in the war, and when it was over she was left with no external, adult narrative to mediate between her experiences and the world. My mother went through World War II as a child. What’s important to you is important, and what isn’t-simply doesn’t exist. But when you’re a child, creation goes in the opposite direction: from the inside outward. When you’re an adult, you are just a little detail amid the infinite universe, a speck of dust resting on the edge of the endless plain known as the world. ![]()

Fallout by Lesley M.M. Blume5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() Since 1945, no nuclear weapons have ever been deployed in war partly because Hersey alerted the world to their true, devastating impact. ![]() When the magazine published “Hiroshima” in August 1946, it became an instant global sensation, and inspired pervasive horror about the hellish new threat that America had unleashed. For nearly a year the cover-up worked-until New Yorker journalist John Hersey got into Hiroshima and managed to report the truth to the world.Īs Hersey and his editors prepared his article for publication, they kept the story secret-even from most of their New Yorker colleagues. The cover-up intensified as Occupation forces closed the atomic cities to Allied reporters, preventing leaks about the horrific long-term effects of radiation which would kill thousands during the months after the blast. But even before the surrender, the US government and military had begun a secret propaganda and information suppression campaign to hide the devastating nature of these experimental weapons. Just days after the United States decimated Hiroshima and Nagasaki with nuclear bombs, the Japanese surrendered unconditionally. Blume reveals how one courageous American reporter uncovered one of the deadliest cover-ups of the 20th century-the true effects of the atom bomb-potentially saving millions of lives.

![]() Both he and Liz are completely broken, shattered, and even by the end I wasn’t sure getting involved with each other or anyone else was really a good idea. I love a tortured hero, but Tristan took it to a whole new level. I’m still not completely sure how I feel about it. So take that into consideration if you plan to read it. I’m not sure why it keeps getting classified that way. Tristan is thirty-three, and Elizabeth is twenty-eight. I kept seeing this categorized as a new adult book, which it is definitely not. Then perhaps we could finally remember how to breathe. Something more.We both wanted to put together the shattered pieces of our yesterdays. We were both empty.We were both looking for something else. ![]() I had to accept the wreckage that lived inside of him because it also lived inside of me. To look at Tristan and see a monster.īut I couldn’t do that. It’s easy to judge a man because of his past. ![]() “Stay away from him,” people said.“He’s cruel.”“He’s cold.”“He’s damaged.” ![]() The Air He Breathes Published by BCherry Books on September 25, 2015 ![]()

There's something eerily off about them, even for Wonderland creatures. She's also interested in learning more about the young lawyer she met there, but just because she's curious, of course, not because he was sweet and charming.īut when Alice develops photographs she has recently taken about town, familiar faces of old suddenly appear in the place of her actual subjects - the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter, the Caterpillar. Yao's teashop or to visit the children playing in the Square. She'd rather spend golden afternoons with her trusty camera or in her aunt Vivian's lively salon, ignoring her sister's wishes that she stop all that "nonsense" and become a "respectable" member of society. I have a few other Twisted Tale books by Liz Braswell, so you might be seeing more of these in the future. This was my first Liz Braswell book, so color me impressed. It was really hard to put this book down and go to sleep at night. What if Wonderland was in peril and Alice was very, very late?Īlice is different than other eighteen-year-old ladies in Kexford, which is perfectly fine with her. There were some twists that I definitely wasn’t expecting and I just really loved this book. ![]()

Milkman a novel5/23/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Hearsay abounds in the vacuum left by diminished faith in institutions. And her characters’ struggles are timely. Like last year’s winner, George Saunders’s Lincoln in the Bardo, it’s an unconventional historical novel, one that coruscates between past and present, upending the genre itself.Īlthough Burns makes it possible to deduce that Milkman is set in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, she scrubs her plot of grounding details, inviting the reader to draw connections between her past and our present. It doesn’t span generations or continents it’s not a staid reflection on the nuclear family. Anna Burns’s Milkman - the winner of this year’s Man Booker Prize - doesn’t meet the criteria we’ve come to expect from award-winning books. ![]() |
