I found myself hurrying through the book in order to find Eleanor or Joanna or Phillip. Always so good and honest and trustworthy. That is the main downfall of this book – Richard is just plain old dull. Even King Phillip of France, who couldn’t seem to decide whether he loved or hated Richard was more interesting. John, who is written as cruel, vain and downright nasty, would have been far more interesting than his saintly and daft brother. I was always delighted to return to her company. Eleanor of Aquitaine is a fantastic, powerful woman who I felt was confined in this book by the focus on Richard. Which sounds silly given that he’s the hero, but it’s a bit like the Harry Potter Effect – main character he may be, but the book is teeming with far more interesting people. Though I enjoyed the book, I have to say that I would have enjoyed it more if there were less Richard. I hadn’t even known Richard or John had married! (I know – the shame of it!) So this was a fun book for me because I actually wasn’t always sure of what would happen, which is occasionally the downside with historical fiction. My knowledge of Richard the Lionheart and Prince John extends only as far as Robin Hood – the Disney version and the recent BBC series. It always seems to stick better in my mind than the dry facts in textbooks and there’s always some odd or interesting detail to be discovered. I have to admit to a soft spot for historical fiction. This is followed later in the poem with mention of 'hunched shadows/ of the end-of-the-world coming towards us' and concluding with: Parrot to tell the story of contrition its How effete your singing voice is – the mannequinĬandour you say is the best policy a trained With the blood of old movies we hoped to outlive. To begin with injustice is inseparable from life – smeared The book opens with the title piece, and the first stanza seems pointedly to indicate the sort of hell the reader is going to be led through by this book's 'story of contrition': And, although the titles of these poems are packed with references to other elements of culture, particularly obscure ones – there are several, such as 'washington crossing the delaware', that derive their title from a painting – the connection between title and piece is connotative rather than denotative. It is also an understatement of the viciousness of some of this poetry. The title of this book is an early manifestation of its endless intertextual referencing, as well as one example of the author's restrained penchant for relatively silly puns. We plan to read, discuss, and share our personal experiences on the spiritual path and meditate together in joy and harmony. We look forward to having you with us on this journey.

Rachel has a few choice answers for exactly where Mary can go, but as these expectant moms do battle, hostilities erupt into a drama unlike anything Zion Hill has ever seen! Something has to give, and while Rachel contemplates everything from transferring her lifelong church membership to packing up and leaving Lester, she knows deep down God is calling her to forgiveness. After all, where can an unmarried mother-to-be go but to the Lord? Her baby may or may not be Lester’s, but Mary’s doing all she can to win sympathy and turn her fellow churchgoers against Rachel-even threatening to blackmail Pastor Adams with a paternity agreement.

With his second book, Klosterman encapsulated how 90s pop culture was interpreted while also expanding the list of once undeserving subjects now considered worthy of attention and scrutiny. Topics included the television show Saved by the Bell, sex icon Pamela Anderson, the Left Behind novels, MTV’s The Real World, and other fin de siècle ephemera. Nevertheless, Klosterman’s breakthrough book, the essay collection Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs, was wholly mired in the 90s in both subject and approach. By September 11, the ethos of the previous decade had come crashing down along with the Twin Towers. Klosterman’s debut, Fargo Rock City, a memoir of life as a heavy metal enthusiast in North Dakota, was released on May 22, 2001. Chuck Klosterman’s tenure as pop culture’s critic par excellence began just as the 1990s came to a close in fact, according to his newest book, The Nineties (Penguin Random House, 2022), it started four months before the decade officially concluded.

The result is a fascinating yet engrossing film from Jane Campion. Directed by Jane Campion and screenplay by Laura Jones, the film explores the life of the author through her trials and tribulation in this unconventional bio-pic as she’s played in three different ages by Karen Fergusson, Alexia Keogh, and Kerry Fox. Based on the three autobiographies of Jane Frame in To the Is-Land, An Angel at My Table, and The Envoy from Mirror City, An Angel at My Table is the story about the life of New Zealand author Jane Frame in three parts of her life from childhood to adulthood. |
