![]() ![]() ![]() I also thank the author for the beautiful description of the Natural African hair, women with strong big legs who feel comfortable in their own skin. Her ability to empathise with others and still manage to stand for her belief and for her loved ones was pretty admirable. ![]() I also enjoyed the character of Fannie ( Noon & Herbie’s adopted daughter) she is probably one of the best characters ever. I loved the loudness of the atmosphere by the description of food, the fashion, music, a deep southern accent that just elevated the book to another level. The characters made decisions that made them jump out of the pages, it wasn’t always the good and evil trope but we got to see the grey area of the moral spectrum. Noon and Herbie’s marriage has suffered and is on the brink of separation but a package that was left at their front door will bring major changes into their lives and the community.ĭiane managed to capture the atmosphere of the 1950s in Philadelphia, she brought the characters to life through the love of the community, the power of love and so much more.The book dove deep into the conversation about social issues that really got me thinking, from the culture of slut-shaming to mental illness. ![]() Genre: Cultural, African-American, Historical ![]()

"Learning to write is like learning to kiss in the snow. In the end it is love which protects both reader and author alike. Featuring a multitude of biting voices this collection of 55 tales spits forth both dark humor and terror alike and carries the reader to places they never dreamt they could or would go. Tarpley's corrupt creations as they drag you kicking and screaming by the hand into the shadow filled corners of his demented mind. Tarpley, an exciting new voice in the world of words. 'Learning to Kiss in the Snow' is a collection of eclectic short stories taking the reader through the bizarre and twisted mind of D.B. ![]() ![]() ![]() In this way, Tokarczuk creates a layered novel, where the main character is the idea of movement. In fact, the voice of the author alternates with other narrators, while maps and paintings intersperse the text. ![]() But the author represents these themes in an innovative way, which makes Flights different from similar travel narration. In Flights, the reader can find Tokarczuk’s recurrent themes, such as voyage, loneliness, and rootlessness. The book is split into 116 different pieces, some one sentence long, some running up to thirty pages. Flights is a compendium of Tokarczuk’s imagery and pieces, where reflections and writing about travel and movement play the most important part. It was published in 2018, the same year in which the author was awarded the Nobel prize and the Man Booker International Prize. Flights is a novel by the Polish Nobel Prize-winning writer Olga Tokarczuk. ![]() |
