While Ross recovered from the abortion procedure, Germany's political situation deteriorated. The insouciant flapper Sally Bowles was based on teenage cabaret singer Jean Ross who became Isherwood's intimate friend during his sojourn and, after an unplanned pregnancy, she had a near-fatal abortion which the shy gay author facilitated. The novel recounts Isherwood's 1929–1932 sojourn as a pleasure-seeking British expatriate on the eve of Adolf Hitler's ascension as Chancellor of Germany and consists of a "series of sketches of disintegrating Berlin, its slums and nightclubs and comfortable villas, its odd maladapted types and its complacent burghers." The novel's plot recounts factual events in Isherwood's life, and the novel's characters were based upon actual persons. Goodbye to Berlin is a 1939 novel by Anglo-American writer Christopher Isherwood set during the waning days of the Weimar Republic. A medical school dropout, she's come back to small-town Everton, New Hampshire, to care for her father, who is dying from a mysterious brain disease. Natural-born healer Emma Starling once had big plans for her life, but she's lost her way. Both funny and sad, the kind of story we like best. You'll fall in love with the offbeat cast of characters (both living and dead) and find yourself rooting for them right through the last page.'-Good Housekeeping (Book Club pick)A lost young woman returns to small-town New Hampshire under the strangest of circumstances in this one-of-a-kind novel of life, death, and whatever comes after from the acclaimed author of Rabbit Cake.NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR (SO FAR) BY BOOKRIOTIt was a source of entertainment at Maple Street Cemetery.

A Song of Wraiths and Ruin (A Song of Wraiths and Ruin #1) The paper is very thick, which makes for an interesting reading experience. Why am I making such a thing of the set up? Because I was expecting a bit more in the book, given it’s weight (and also the list price. There’s actually only 129 pages with text on them, of which about half have less than half a page of text on them. Every story is prefaced with at least 3 full pages of pictures, and lots of smaller drawings sprinkled among the text. And that’s two hundred pages of large font and lots of drawings. This book is incredibly short – less than two hundred pages. HOW THE KING OF ELFHAME LEARNED TO HATE STORIES is a very pretty book, but that’s about it. So long as you’re begging, he doesn’t mind. Some might think of him as a strong draught, burning the back of one’s throat, but invigorating all the same. Perhaps it’s no surprise that he turned out the way he did. Once upon a time, there was a boy with a wicked tongue.īefore he was a cruel prince or a wicked king, he was a faerie child with a heart of stone.Ī prince of Faerie, nourished on cat milk and contempt, born into a family over-burdened with heirs. The premise - one that can be adequately summed up as “teenage boy goes to New York to visit his sister for a summer, lies to a girl about being a trans, gets girl to fall in love with him even though she likes girls hilarity ensues” - had me staring at the back cover for a few minutes, wondering what I was getting myself into. Then there’s Adam by Ariel Schrag, the debut novel by the cartoonist and television writer who has taken the bildungsroman route before to great results and acclaim with her graphic novels, Definition and Awkward. How badly has that literary vehicle broken down? Sure, there have been a few bright spots in the last few years, but the post-Holden Caulfield coming-of-age crop hasn’t yielded too much to write home about, possibly because as technology advances and we become more disconnected from each other, teenagers become more and more difficult for adults to write about or even understand than ever before. With all the recent talk about adults reading books written specifically for teenagers, maybe it’s time to shift the conversation to books about teenagers written for a predominantly adult audience. |
