![]() ![]() ![]() The family - Cormier’s wife Lois, ex-wife Aggie, and adult son Cyril - are mystified by the request. ![]() Cormier’s family gather to hear the reading of his will, which contains a strange request: in lieu of a funeral or memorial, Cormier’s friends, colleagues and family are asked to honour his memory with a comedic roast, to be held at The Only Café, a bar and coffee shop on Danforth Ave. The individual in this case is Pierre Cormier, a Toronto corporate lawyer who dies in a mysterious explosion on his boat in a remote Cape Breton harbour.Īs the novel opens, Cormier has finally been declared dead, five years after the 2007 accident (a fisherman discovered a fragment of Cormier’s bone and item of jewelry in a lobster trap). In The Only Café, MacIntyre returns to the theme that underpins his best writing: the corrupting influence of institutions and ideologies on the individual conscience. That style - spare, propulsive, and rich in observational detail and dialogue - is well suited for the ambitious themes explored in his novels. In the course of his transition from journalist to novelist, Linden McIntyre has honed a style that draws heavily on his training as a reporter and producer of investigative documentaries. ![]() ![]() Apart from those two and her native Georgian, she speaks 4 other languages: Russian, Italian, German, Spanish, and is learning 2: Japanese and Mandarin Chinese.

Numerous people wrote me about the fact that in Chapter Forty-one Ward seems to think that he’s distantly related to Viscount Herries when, in fact, as Villiers points out, the viscount is his first cousin.In the sixth line, Ward warns about Eugenia cursing in a ballroom, when, in fact, he’s worried that his sister Lizzie will blurt out naughty words in public. Varsha pointed out a mistake on page 258, in Chapter 30.Fonthill, of course, is the house where Eugenia grew up, home to her father’s infamous house parties.

Williams, who is not Jewish, wanted to make sure Nick seemed authentic and decided to make him the son of a mixed marriage, with a non-Jewish mother. This got me thinking ‘what if they married…’ I became intrigued by what it would be like for Nick, a Jew, to be placed in that particular society during the 1930s.” This Waspy woman ends up killing herself because she would never lower herself to marry a Jew, even though her financial problems would have been solved. Williams told JBC that she was influenced by the plot of Edith Wharton’s The House of Mirth, with its “extremely stereotyped Jewish character. The book alternates between 1931, when socialite Lily Dane and Nick Greenwald fall in love and get engaged, only to have the relationship end because her family will not accept Nick, who is Jewish and 1938, when Lily must deal with confronting her former best friend, Budgie, and former fiancé, who are now married. The storyline is an intricately woven tale of romance, friendship, suspense, betrayal, and closely guarded secrets, against a backdrop of how the “old WASP New York guard” viewed Jews. ![]() Beatriz Williams’s novel, A Hundred Summers, is a fascinating look into the lives of New Yorkers during the 1930s. ![]() ![]() ![]() The book is old- fashioned in that it tells a real story. It is atypical of these post-modern times. some grandstanding by the author, but it was light and it did not feel like a "big statement." At any rate it is among my all time favorites, right up there with the Classics, the Russians and the Moderns. ![]() There is very little but some politicizing. The questions are all apt to the story they provoke deep thought. I think I wish McCarthy had put some of that spiritual searching earlier in the book following so much action, it's a little bottom heavy with stream-of-consciousness, moralizing. There is at least one "missing person," one unexplained death, and it is so much meditation on very "heavy" subjects. ![]() ![]() Still, the end was a little disappointing. It is in parts 7 and 8 that the whole thing begins to stick together. Throughout the book, I kept asking myself "whose story is this?" It comes clear late in the book. The characters are so strong that I will never forget them. As the murder victims added up, I felt so sad, so sorry for them. You want each of them to achieve their goals. Every single character is "sympathetic." You like them all. It is riveting, it is complete, it is complex, it demands much from the reader it requires re-reading of some sections. This is one of the best books I have ever read in my life. ![]() ![]() ![]() “I suppose Steve Brezenoff will have to grow up one of these days and forget what it was like to be sixteen, but let’s hope it doesn’t happen too soon-at least not to the part of him that can write a book like Guy in Real Life.” - Pete Hautman, National Book Award-winning author of Godless “An idiosyncratic romance that offers plenty of cultural food for thought.” - Publishers Weekly A must-read for anyone who questions who they truly are, and who they could be.” - Nova Ren Suma, author of Imaginary Girls and 17 & Gone “Guy In Real Life is a remarkably original, addictive novel that illuminates the roles we play for others and, ultimately, ourselves. ![]() This is not the teen love story you’ve read a thousand times before.” - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) ![]() “In a first-person narration that alternates between the boy in black and the girl dungeon master, Brezenoff conjures a wry, wise and deeply sympathetic portrait of the exquisite, excruciating thrill of falling in love. Another fantastic book from a writer I envy and admire.” - Sara Zarr, National Book Award finalist for Story Of a Girl “In a voice full of authentic grit, poetic verve, and real emotion, Steve Brezenoff weaves a tale that feels both wholly original and instantly classic. ![]() ![]() ![]() The older vampire is competent and responsible when it comes to his work (including his task of being En's guardian) but Ichii has been around a long time and is not shy about what he wants - and what he wants is En. And the two have some interesting chemistry both romantically and as a world-weary mentor who contrasts En's inexperience. ![]() ![]() Clueless of the rules, the culture, and of what all being a vampire entails, right now En is entirely dependant on the deuteragonist, Ichii, to show him the way. As a human, he was a homeless teenager in the process of figuring himself and his life out, and now as a vampire he must do the same on top of adjusting to the loss of his humanity and trying to navigate the vampire world. Our somewhat innocent protagonist, En, is new to the vampire gig. I found the main couple to be particularly sweet and I especially enjoyed the wide range of different vampires the readers meet. I may be biased considering I love both vampires and boys-love stories, and I'll admit the idea of a supernatural welfare organization is hardly a new concept in manga, but "Fangs" was a delight to read. I really enjoyed the first volume of this vampire BL. ![]() |
