Too many people have quit noticing Solnit’s work, primarily because vast swaths of her literary career have been given over to ideas about landscape. ![]() To state it maximally in the manner of the anonymously hateful message boards that still wish her dead, Solnit’s powerful threat to the patriarchy continues to exponentially expand. To state it minimally, Solnit is a widely respected feminist. Most people know her best as author of the 2008 viral Granta essay and subsequent 2014 book of same title, Men Explain Things to Me ( Granta, 2014). For a long time now, readers have counted Solnit as one of those very same forces that save. The acknowledgements page of Rebecca Solnit‘s new memoir, Recollections of My Nonexistence, opens with this reflection: “I’m here because of the forces that protect the vulnerable, encourage the eccentric, and educate the ignorant” (241). ![]()

In September 2020, California became the first state in the country to adopt a law that established a task force to study and develop proposals for potential reparations to descendants of those impacted by slavery.

The story should be familiar if you’ve seen Barker’s film Hellraiser, but that’s where the familiarity ends. ![]() The Hellbound Heart deals with the results of singular plot, and sees it through to its bloody conclusion. It is a long novella, structured as a novel, with chapters and sections within the chapters, but it is not a short novel, that distinction typically reserved for more complex stories with concrete subplots. The Hellbound Heart, for the uninitiated, is a novella by Clive Barker, concerning one Frank Cotton and his search for eternal pleasure. Mistakenly, I figured the Clive Barker story at the end was just some quick novelisation of his movie Hellraiser. ![]() Tuttle was new to me, but I found her stories vibrant and refreshing, though a little ‘quiet’ for my tastes. At that time, Barker’s Books of Blood had already consumed my soul, while Weaveworld hit my mind like a battering ram. The collection featured Campbell, Lisa Tuttle, and Clive Barker. Having discovered Ramsey Campbell a few years prior, I was hunting collections of his short stories and hit the jackpot with this paperback. In 1989, I managed to find a rare paperback of Night Visions: The Hellbound Heart (originally published as Night Visions III: Dark Harvest), edited by George R.R. ![]() ![]() This book is so perfect and full of drama and angst and wonderful, incredible romance.

CLICKING ON IMAGES PROVIDES LARGER IMAGES ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is fascinating, and I loved this aspect of the book. Neal Stephenson takes advantage of the situation to address all sorts of scientific, moral, and philosophical dilemmas. Seveneves is about that something, that “moon shot” to save a remnant of the human population by putting them in outer space to survive the holocaust of the lunar destruction. ![]() Unless something dramatic happens, everyone is going to die. It’s an epic disaster novel (or is it an epic disaster of a novel? More on that later) that pits the human race against nature as the moon explodes and its meteoric remains begin to fall to Earth, setting the atmosphere on fire. The further I got into the Seveneves thought experiment, the more I wanted to like it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() They lack the consolation of interior lives, suffering and surviving with a sort of indistinguishable vacuity. ![]() McCarthy's characters tend to be murderers, indigents, liars and thieves relentlessly brutalised by the world, they brutalise one another in turn. But unlike the classic naturalists, McCarthy doesn't consider human beings to be corrupted by the civilisation that contains them instead they are the bearers of their own violent, irrepressible natures. There are times when McCarthy resembles a classic Thirties naturalist like Steinbeck or Lawrence, his characters being commonly mired in the muck and muddle of their own animal identities. McCarthy's world is an existential one in which men face two choices - either to battle or to die the female characters, meanwhile, cook and sew or sell themselves on the street. 'I always figured they was a God,' mutters one of Suttree's Knoxville disreputables. But in McCarthy's novels, it is nature - nasty, brutish and short. In the Old Testament, of course, the surrounding world belongs to God. His characters are not thick, psychologically resonant creations, but are subordinate to the breadth and muscle of the world that surrounds them. His landscapes are wide, blazing and biblical with conflagrations. CORMAC McCARTHY'S formidable prose is indebted to the Old Testament. ![]() ![]() ![]() Struggling stand-up comic Leah Tang is offered a once-in-a-lifetime chance to join the Genrenauts.

The response to the story has been overwhelming: the book was No. Each of the gifts from anonymous donors came with a card tied to the lyrics of the carol, “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” But instead of the phrase “my true love sent to me,” the givers inserted the words “your true friends give to you.” The book, which chronicles the difficult journey Smith and her three children faced following her husband’s sudden death just before Christmas, focuses on the mysterious gifts and kind notes that began appearing on their doorstep 13 days before the holiday.
