Being a bit of a Beatrix Potter fan, England fan, and general nature and caring for the planet fan, this book hits the trifecta for matching all three interests. Happy Book Birthday to Saving the Countryside, The Story of Beatrix Potter and Peter Rabbit by Linda Elovitz Marshall! Saving the Countryside, The Story of Beatrix Potter and Peter Rabbit ![]() ![]() ![]() He emerges with a sense of this double identity as a source of both pain and power, and goes to the United States in the 1960s for a college education and introduction to all that’s barbarous and bright in American life. The title character of Nguyen’s comparatively hot and sprawling story is a hyper-self-conscious intellectual defined by the divisions he has straddled from birth: the illegitimate son of a French Catholic priest and a teenage Vietnamese villager, he grows up at odds with the world around him. Indeed, this book reads like the absolute opposite of Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried, the clipped, cool fragmentary narrative that has long served as the canonical US literary account of that divisive conflict and its ongoing aftermath. This overreaching mixture leads to occasional missteps that matter little set against the greater result: a bold, artful and globally minded reimagining of the Vietnam war and its interwoven private and public legacies. The Sympathizer can be read as a spy novel, a war novel, an immigrant novel, a novel of ideas, a political novel, a campus novel, a novel about the movies, and a novel, yes, about other novels. Beyond such wilful attuning to Invisible Man, this impressive debut contains a Whitman-like multiplicity. ![]() ![]() I was a software engineer, I was writing for fun and then I wrote The Martian and it took off.” Weir’s unsettling cause for alarm was that he would be something like a sci-fi version of Harper Lee: known for one book only. As he told Observer in an interview recently, “I bungled into The Martian. Yet after such unexpected success, the most tangible, and pressing emotion that Weir experienced was fear. The Martian landed on the New York Times bestseller list, and a swear-free teen version has become a staple in high school classrooms. ![]() ![]() Little did the writer know, when he posted the first snippet of story in 2009, that The Martian, his tale of a stranded astronaut embarking on what would seem a fool’s errand of farming on Mars, would land him book agent, a publishing contract and a movie deal. Directed by Ridley Scott, the adaptation garnered Oscar nominations at the 2016 awards for both the director and its star, Matt Damon, and earned more than $600 million worldwide. It was the meticulous detail of his first book (which, after having tasted the bitter pill of rejection from many a publishing house after submitting previous works, he decided to self-publish on his website) that had readers clamoring for more as he released chapter by chapter.

The little boy looked up at the man in shock. He saw his cousin’s raised arm, it spliced the air, and then he saw the open palm descend and strike the boy. The speed was coursing through Hector’s blood, the hairs on his neck were upright. He raised his foot and kicked wildly into Harry’s shin. ![]() ![]() He lifted the boy up in the air, and in shock the boy dropped the bat. In the second that it took Hector to release his breath, he saw Ravi jump towards the boys, he heard Gary’s furious curse, and he saw Harry push past all of them and grab at Hugo.

It has been on my TBR list for a long time, and in 2005 it came out in a beautiful new Penguin Classic translation by Tiina Nunnally, eliminating all the thees and thous and methinkses and restoring some crucial scenes that had previously been bowdlerized, and so I thought this was the perfect time to begin it. Kristin Lavransdatter, Sigrid Undset’s epic and yet intensely personal story of one woman’s medieval Norway, won the Nobel prize for literature in 1928. ![]() |
