![]() ![]() Books + Publishing Noongar writer Claire Coleman's debut novel, Terra Nullius, envisions a continent disturbingly familiar and worryingly futuristic. In our politically tumultuous time, the novel's themes of racism, inherent humanity and freedom are particularly poignant. Weekend Australian Set in an Australia that is simultaneously recognisable and bleakly foreign, Coleman's work of speculative fiction tells a story of colonisation and displacement that is both devastating and all too familiar. Terra Nullius is witty, weird, moving and original. An incredible debut from a striking new Australian Aboriginal voice. This Terra Nullius is something new, but all too familiar. ![]() This is not the Australia of our history. Families are torn apart, reeducation is enforced. The Settlers are eager to have a nation of peace, and to bring the savages into line. All he had was a sense of what was behind, what he was running from.

We’re told this fact on three consecutive pages. The USP of Wither is that women die at 20 and men at 25. Because of this, I think the writing style was a bit clumsy. It was Lauren DeStefano’s debut novel, and dystopian is always going to be a hard genre to write because so much thought has to go into the world, it’s purpose and what went wrong. I thought it was about time to give the series another shot, so here’s what I thought of what was promised to be a dystopian, and ended up being like The Selection gone wrong.įor a first book in the series, I could forgive a lot of things. ![]() I’ve had the first book Wither on my shelf for about two years, and only managed to read the first fifty pages before I put it down for some unknown reason.

This article sheds new light on Black Beauty’s genre through its contextual reading of moralistic, animal-centric children’s literature, and didactic tracts on horse management. While Black Beauty is typically considered a children’s book, the novel in fact had a considerable adult audience, especially among working-class men. This allows the article to interrogate critical commonplaces about the novel’s genre. It uses a ‘surface reading’ methodology, focusing on the novel’s contemporary generic context and on how the book was received and marketed. This article employs Margaret Cohen’s notion of the ‘generic horizon’ to explore the production and reception of Anna Sewell’s 1877 novel Black Beauty. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sloan's grief will feel authentic-because it is. Both books are standalone novels, but The Friend Zone will give The Happy Ever After Playlist so much more depth. Then I'll tell you to stop what you're doing and go read The Friend Zone before you touch this one. On the chance that you're here reading this and you somehow haven't read The Friend Zone or the blurb on this book, I'll sidestep the actual spoiler. It was done because doing it was the whole purpose of writing The Friend Zone in the first place. ![]() The *big thing* in The Friend Zone wasn't done to facilitate Kristen and Josh's HEA or to add drama. They happened before I ever wrote one word of Kristen and Josh's love story. Obviously because Sloan's book was already written, certain *ahem* THINGS in The Friend Zone had to happen-because they already did. Since The Friend Zone came first on the timeline, we led with that as my debut novel. While we were shopping it to publishers, I had the idea to go back in time and write The Friend Zone so we could live through the events that made Sloan who she is in her story. The Happy Ever After Playlist was actually the first book I ever wrote and the book that got me my literary agent. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Barad extends and partially revises Bohr’s philosophical views in light of current scholarship in physics, science studies, and the philosophy of science as well as feminist, poststructuralist, and other critical social theories. The starting point for Barad’s analysis is the philosophical framework of quantum physicist Niels Bohr. Offering an account of the world as a whole rather than as composed of separate natural and social realms, agential realism is at once a new epistemology, ontology, and ethics. In this volume, Karen Barad, theoretical physicist and feminist theorist, elaborates her theory of agential realism. Meeting the Universe Halfway is an ambitious book with far-reaching implications for numerous fields in the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities.
