ELSPELLS: September Reading: Affinity, Burger's Daughter, Small Island, American Gods, Two in a Boat
http://elspells.blogspot.com/2012/10/september-reading-affinity-burgers.html
In Which I Indulge My Bookish Nature. Sunday, October 7, 2012. September Reading: Affinity, Burger's Daughter, Small Island, American Gods, Two in a Boat. By Sarah Waters (2000). I’m reading Waters’ books in a funny order. This is the third novel of hers that I’ve read - I still have to read Fingersmith. And The Little Stranger. Or the intricacy of The Night Watch. By Nadine Gordimer (1979). 8220; I read them again and again, their script appeared in everything I seemed to be looking at, pupils of yellow...

ELSPELLS: May 2012
http://elspells.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
In Which I Indulge My Bookish Nature. Thursday, May 24, 2012. April Reading: Remainder, Falling Man, Saturday, The Reluctant Fundamentalist. By Tom McCarthy (2006). McCarthy’s novel has the most tenuous link to that category. It’s so fresh and original that I almost forgot I was reading it for the course and actually (shhh) enjoyed. By Don DeLillo (2007). Much more overtly related to the 9/11 theme, Falling Man. By Ian McEwan (2005). Style set up, telling the story of one day in this man’s life, ju...

http://elspells.blogspot.com/2014/03/february-reading-satantango-on-black.html

By Lazslo Krazsnahorkai (1985; translated by George Szirtes). On Black Sisters' Street. By Chika Unigwe (2010). By Stephen Kelman (2011). By Gillian Slovo (2009). Which is equally fascinating, but First's daughter's book seems to me, at the moment, to be a more layered, nuanced work. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Waiti...

ELSPELLS: Happy New(ish) Year!
http://elspells.blogspot.com/2013/01/happy-newish-year.html
In Which I Indulge My Bookish Nature. Sunday, January 20, 2013. Slightly belatedly, Happy 2013! I hope it is off to a good start for you all. Once again, December proved to be a shamefully bad month for fiction reading and/or blogging; this is only partly because I have been diving back into novel research and reading lots of random non-fiction books on German colonialism and the like, which I won’t bore you about. Yet. 1964) and Kate Atkinson’s Started Early, Took My Dog. And No Longer at Ease. Recommen...

ELSPELLS: December 2012
http://elspells.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
In Which I Indulge My Bookish Nature. Sunday, December 9, 2012. November Reading: The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, Starter for Ten, The Mammoth Book of Nebula Awards SF, The Things We Did for Love, Mittee, Fingersmith. I’m going to cheat slightly this month and just do a very quick round-up of what I read in November, mostly because it’s Sunday evening and I still have half the week’s lessons to plan. Ah, the joys of being in gainful employment. By Michael Chabon (2000). By Daphne Rooke (1951).
