Kıymetsiz Yazılar TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Hakikat Kitabevi

1. The Bloody Chamber is a collection of ten fairy tales. It's tempting to call them deconstructions, but that's not quite true; they are more like adaptations or updates - the kind of update you put on a painting so its colors stay bright. Generally, the stories are intense, feverish, and sinister - although there are one or two alterations in tone. This atmosphere is created by a quasi-baroque use of detailed imagery ("Her face was acquiring, instead of beauty, a lacquer of the invincible prettiness that characterizes certain pampered, exquisite, expensive cats."), which is consistent enough that even the most charming/light-hearted story ("Puss in Boots") becomes a bit unnerving through association. I liked that specificity of visual detail very much. 2. Carter has a couple of preoccupations (to call them themes is too mild!): the first four stories are linked through cats, on various levels of "cat"; the next three are about fantastic humanoids, extensions of nature; and the last three are linked through werewolves - for various levels of "werewolf." The focus is on women, as generally seems to be the case in fairy tales, although Carter isn't particularly interested in upholding social mores, but rather critiquing them. 3. One of the things I liked was the way the stories were located in time, or at least the way three of them were. "The Bloody Chamber," "The Courtship of Mr. Lyon," and "The Lady of the House of Love" all take place in the early part of the 20th century, which is an unusual time period for fairy tales (or fantasy), but I think an underutilized one. Other stories have more traditional settings - "Puss in Boots" and "The Tiger's Bride" take place in Italy, "The Erlking" and the werewolf stories in more-or-less-Germany. 4. Stories I liked best: "The Bloody Chamber," "The Tiger's Bride," and "Puss in Boots." "The Snow Child" was the shortest, most cryptic, and most disturbing. Both "The Werewolf" and "The Company of Wolves" were interesting for their use of violence, I think - both violence against women and executed by them. 5. Kissing the Witch: Old Tales in New Skins is a similar collection, and one I think I slightly prefer - perhaps because it is a contemporary of mine, and The Bloody Chamber is definitely not. But it's still a remarkable book.

DİRENİŞÇİ TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Gendaş Kültür

3.5 stars http://threedollarbillreviews.com/201... When a mysterious stranger comes to the aid of a woman being followed by a gang of young men, the woman unexpectedly becomes part of an unusual set of events. After asking when she’ll be able to see her savoir again, the woman is told to visit a well-known, out and loud lesbian bar, In Your Face. However, when she shares with the bartender that she was sent by “Katy did” as instructed to do, the reactions she receives are filed with shock and suspicion. Tell Them Katy Did is a very short tale mixing together elements of horror and the paranormal with a very real life dangerous situation. The main character does not solve the mystery within the pages of the story, but instead the focus is on the strange happenings and a perceived definition of justice. For such a short story, this definitely gets its point across yet I was left wanting a bit more. The setup is most definitely intriguing and you can’t help but wonder where the author would have taken it next. This is arguably part of the allure of many short stories, to be pulled in and given just enough detail to satisfy yet leave aspects open for the reader’s imagination to fill in the gaps. This story mostly delivers on that front, though I would have loved just a bit more be included within the story itself. From an author as established as Victor J. Banis, it’s not surprising that the writing is solid and the tale is unique. This tale is a welcome change of pace from the usual short stories that feature lesbian characters. It is rare to find stories that incorporate an aspect of horror and that makes this a welcome and satisfying read.

This book was a great idea in theory. The theory: Bring together stories from around the world by rarely translated international voices. Publish it in an anthology. Sell it. The reality: The stories didn't bother me so much as the editorial choices. First, the stories weren't short stories. They were excerpts from longer works of fiction, which means you never really finished a story. You just get to taste it, barely. I barely got a whiff of the author's voice, style and story before the excerpt was done. Sure, each opened with a preface from the editors, but that was also problematic. Each excerpt needed to be contextualized. The editors had to "tell" everything rather than let the creative piece stand on its own because it couldn't! Oh better metaphor! This anthology was like a catalog. So I didn't even finish the anthology because what was the point? It was incomplete to begin with. On a bright note, I did buy it at a neat literary festival in San Francisco. Support local literary events people! They lead you to interesting things, even if you don't care much for them in the end.

Ca-pti-vant. Du début à la fin, je n'ai pas lâché. J'ai adoré voyager parmi les souvenirs de Mia. Le style de Gayle Forman est simple, vif et nous transporte. Les personnages sont attachant et l'histoire émouvante. J'aime, j'aime, j'aime. Je le conseille vivement.

Küçük Tumburluplar - Öykülü Boyama Kitabı TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Çikolata Yayınevi

This is a solid memoir that I think I enjoyed a lot because it discussed the immigrant experience in Michigan--and maybe that resonated with me since I am a Michigan transplant, myself. However, this is mostly about the immigrant experience as related to consumer food in America (and just happens to take place on the West Coast of Michigan--Grand Rapids). I think a lot of the characters are one-dimensional with regards to how the author portrays them, but she gets her point across that way. For instance, we hear a lot about the white mothers of her friends who do nothing but clean and cook all day in their very God-Fearing and Christian households--but there's a complexity there that is overlooked. Perhaps the author could have dug a little more--but it may have felt superfluous especially since it was told from her perspective as a child. I dunno--pretty good. I'd tell people to read it since it was pretty easy and fast and let them make up their own mind. There's certainly value in reading it--and not just because there's nothing else on TV!.

I've tried to read this before, but have never gotten beyond the first page. Ok, maybe just the first sentence or phrase. Joyce is brilliant though, so read it I must!

Now here's a question: Can something be an authentic fake? Or is that too much of an oxymoron?
