Tiszta Chicago - a 252. epizód

Hosszabb kihagyás után úgy döntöttünk, hogy visszatérünk az évekkel ezelőtt megkezdett utazós sorozatunkhoz, amelyben egy-egy számunkra érdekes helyhez kötődő könyveket, filmeket, sorozatokat ajánlunk. (Korábbi adásainkban volt már szó például New Yorkról, Párizsról, és az északi országokról is.) Legújabb célpontunk pedig Chicago – tartsatok velünk! Le is töltenéd? Popkult, csajok, satöbbi…

'Killing Orders,' by Sarah Paretsky

Novel, 1986 Detective story set in Chicago, in which main protagonist VS Warshawski, is called to look into fraud and a web of individuals and organisations which lead into some pretty dark situations. This is a book which arguably strays a little further than it might in the workings of insurance and other means of financial practice and malpractice. The way Warshawski is drawn and acts like an…

Some recent reads

I've been recording my thoughts and just diaries/logs of what I read and what I thought about what I read since 2020 but never posted it anywhere (I don't have a goodreads or anything, I generally trust my own intuition and skimming skills to determine whether or not I want to read something). However I thought people might be interested in them so I'll post them here. A lot are from classes in uni.

The Moonstone (Wilkie Collins):

First novel I read this year, for my mystery and detective fiction course in university. As far as my book review notes state, it is a "really hilarious and exciting mystery novel with a lot of interesting themes, including race, property, ownership, colonization, and religion" and I rated it 9/10. Of course I wrote more in detail about it in my work for the course but who wants to read that.

The Time Machine (HG Wells):

I read this for my course on the fundementals of science fiction. It explores ideas of class and race and how that could influence human evolution, but more closely it tells a tale of how human perception warps reality. 9/10

Of One Blood; Or, The Hidden Self (Pauline E. Hopkins)

7/10. Has a lot of interesting themes (the limitations of the flesh, science versus mesmerism, the African root of mankind, Afrofuturism) and I really enjoyed writing an essay on it for my course (the Sci Fi one) but there were certain chapters that dragged down my rating a little. But that's also because I consider how much I enjoyed a book as well as how technically "good" I think it is when rating, and I got frustrated with Reuel's treatment of Dianthe often.

Indemnity Only (Sara Paretsky)

Read this for my mystery class too. I'm not usually into gritty crime dramas but I love VI Warshawski (the novel's detective) especially because she narrates all the specific things she eats. Like yes, I do want to hear about your cream of wheat, it's important, thank you. 7/10

Hey there! Wondering if you had any names of some novels you recollect having good examples of interiority? Sorry, I'm not fully awake and don't know how else to word it lol. But I was so intrigued by what you'd posted on it, and it really made me want to examine my own writing. Thanks!

hey! so i'm sorry to say that right now i do not have the brainpower to think up a lot of examples. margaret atwood is my first thought - i'm especially thinking of alias grace. i was also talking about pat conroy recently - i'm not sure i'd recommend his work wholeheartedly and i think he almost exclusively writes characters who are very like him, but within that, they have deep inner lives. sara paretsky's v.i. warshawski series, for a mystery example.

i would love people who are less brain-dead than i am to make some suggestions.

Suddenly Susan Austin is a real hot commodity it would see? I guess all it takes for a girl to get really popular is to have Loki zap you into a coma...
