![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With the plan hatched, Laurie and Jamie begin to flaunt their new couple status, to the astonishment-and jealousy-of their friends and colleagues. It’s the perfect proposition: a fauxmance played out on social media, with strategically staged photographs and a specific end date in mind. Laurie wants a hot new man to give the rumor mill something else to talk about. Jamie Carter doesn’t believe in love, but he needs a respectable, steady girlfriend to impress their bosses. Then a chance encounter in a broken-down elevator with the office playboy opens up a new possibility. When news of her ex’s pregnant girlfriend hits the office grapevine, taking the humiliation lying down is not an option. Her once perfect life is in shambles and the thought of dating again in the age of Tinder is nothing short of horrifying. When her partner of over a decade suddenly ends things, Laurie is left reeling-not only because they work at the same law firm and she has to see him every day. ![]()

Quinn gets a strange call one night asking for the detective Paul Auster, and after dismissing the first call, receives another one a few nights later and decides to play along, pretending to be Auster and taking on the case, which involves protecting a young man, Peter Stillman, from his abusive father as the latter is about to be released from prison. The first novella, City of Glass, covers a writer named Daniel Quinn who works under a pseudonym, William Wilson, about a detective named Max Work. ![]() The work appears on the Guardian‘s 2003 list of the hundred greatest novels ever written, which is the only reason I even knew of its existence. Each part starts out as a detective story, but turns into something else entirely, exploring questions of identity and meaning, with the three protagonists devolving into madness as their “cases” go awry. Paul Auster’s New York Trilogy is a collection of three novellas that are just barely connected enough that I would call this one novel, although it certainly bends the boundaries of the form. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This worsens the “key link in the perpetual slum… too many people move out of it too fast,” rather than helping true unslumming, which comes from within and starts when people have reason to stay in their neighborhoods. When such clearances occur, they uproot the residents and dissolve whatever bonds existed. The clearance of supposedly blighted slums in favor of planned projects is one of the first things mentioned in the introduction, and Jacobs makes her displeasure clear throughout. She also defines a new paradigm for urban planning, based in people and the complex truth of cities, which she sees as a “problem of organized complexity.” Throughout the work, she argues that solving the problems of urban life requires a more in depth understanding of the interactions of people and the built environment on every scale.ĭeath and Life includes a number of specific criticisms of the planning environment of the mid-20 th century, starting from one of the significant trends of the time. These ideas, Jacobs argues, are paternalistic and controlling, and lack any understanding of real cities. The work is a condemnation of orthodox planning, especially that based in the work of Ebenezer Howard and Le Corbusier. Written in 1961, The Death and Life of Great American Cities by Jane Jacobs is a seminal work in urban planning. ![]() ![]() ![]() Not to say that there are places that are better than others, but we're doing this where two steps forward, one step back dance with actual equality. But I think we've got, what, 30 women CEOs or something like that, maybe 300 in the entire country? That's not a number that helps.Īt some point we have to talk about the fact that women are slightly more than half of the world's population and in most places are getting almost nowhere in terms of ongoing, sustainable equality. Mikkis book takes a critical look at how the movement was built around increasing the privilege of the few and asks readers to. You know, Lean In worked to make some people a CEO. Mikki Kendalls Hood Feminism is an in-depth look at the Feminist movement and how it does (and mostly doesnt) support women of color and other marginalized groups of women. ![]() How feminist are we if we're not looking out for the people who build these institutions and sustained that wealth. Kendall writes, Imagining a new and less problematic future for marginalized communities means letting go of every aspect of white supremacy. ![]() People are not altruistic enough to hope that supporting white women will eventually trickle down to women of color or communities of color. Hood Feminism is a call to action for feminists and feminist organizationslike WOCto step up and do work that helps liberate all women from oppression. I think it's necessary, actually, because as as the wealth gap grows, as income inequality and all of these other things are growing, we're hitting a situation where feminism is going to really want all of these communities to show up, to vote with it, to do all of these things. ![]() ![]() This book is now out of print and no longer included in our Books to Bairns initiative.

The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner is a brutal portrayal of a young man’s murderous actions while consumed by evil thoughts.

Kevin Crossley-Holland places poems and prose in context with his skilful interpretation of the Anglo-Saxon world his translations have been widely acclaimed, and of Beowulf the poet Charles Causley has written, 'the poem has at last found its translator'. Here is a word picture of a people who came to these islands as pagans and yet within two hundred years had become Christians, to such effect that England was the centre of missionary endeavour and, for a time, the heart of European civilization. They, and many other treasures, are included in The Anglo-Saxon World: chronicles, laws and letters, charters and charms, and above all superb poems. ![]() Beowulf, The Battle of Maldon, The Dream of the Rood, The Wanderer, and The Seafarer are among the greatest surviving Anglo-Saxon poems. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She is wispy and angelic, with thin lips pinched tightly together, holding her breath against the icy water.
