The language is very expressive, and the narrative is deliciously creepy the sleeping retinue move around like zombies, the thorny bushes grow around the skeletons of unsuccessful rescuers, menace and decay is everywhere. The narrative touches on themes of gender, power, beauty, ageing and death. This is no Disney-style fantasy for the very young, but instead akin to some of the original, more gruesome tales in the genre, but there is much to engage and thrill the older child. Gaiman encourages you to believe that, just like the Snow White, herself once condemned to a year’s unconsciousness, she would be the ideal person to save the day - but not everything is as it appears. Her upcoming wedding, with some relief, is put on hold. When three dwarves inform her of a cursed kingdom where a princess and her people have lied asleep for decades, the queen decides to take up the challenge to save them, even though many have failed before her. An extremely dark and gothic fairy tale, it features the stories of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, but given a very modern and feminist twist.Ī queen prepares unenthusiastically for marriage and a future that is mapped out for her. When prize-winning author Neil Gaiman collaborates with the equally award-laden former children’s laureate and illustrator Chris Riddell, you can guarantee the result will be something unique and special, and this book is no exception. "Prisons are always the same, don't you think?" It is a stunning debut.Ĭhapter 1: The Thief and the Prisoner's DilemmaĪs always, before the warmind and I shoot each other, I try to make small talk. The Quantum Thief is a dazzling hard SF novel set in the solar system of the far future - a heist novel peopled by bizarre post-humans but powered by very human motives of betrayal, revenge and jealousy. She offers him a chance to win back his freedom and the powers of his old self - in exchange for finishing the one heist he never quite managed. Jean's routine of death, defection and cooperation is upset by the arrival of Mieli and her spidership, Perhonen. Now he is condemned to play endless variations of a game-theoretic riddle in the vast virtual jail of the Axelrod Archons - the Dilemma Prison - against countless copies of himself. His origins are shrouded in mystery, but his exploits are known throughout the Heterarchy - from breaking into the vast Zeusbrains of the Inner System to steal their thoughts, to stealing rare Earth antiques from the aristocrats of the Moving Cities of Mars. Jean le Flambeur is a post-human criminal, mind burglar, confidence artist and trickster. A Crash Course in the History of Black Science Fiction. 200 Significant SF Books by Women, 1984-2001. Inserts with excerpts from Susy's actual journal give added appeal. Her frank, funny, tender biography (which came to be one of Twain's most prized possessions) gives rare insight and an unforgettable perspective on an American icon. In a journal she kept under her pillow, Susy documented her world-famous father-from his habits (good and bad!) to his writing routine to their family's colorful home life. They saw Mark Twain as "a humorist joking at everything." But he was so much more, and Susy was determined to set the record straight.

As the two alternate reading the memoirs they've written about their lives, Constance reveals her multiple marriages to older men, and Ruggero details the affairs he's had with men and women across his lifetime-most importantly his passionate affair with the author Edmund White.

Award-winning author Karina Bliss launches her Rock Solid Romance series with the ultimate redemption story of a rock star going straight(er) through the love of a good(ish) woman. The protagonist is keen to pass her wealth to a younger sister, but there’s little on that relationship or the emotional impact her death might wreak. She chooses death, as a way to “transcend”.īrown’s beautifully crafted brevity is stylistically potent, but can feel like an excuse for not fleshing out her story. Her recognition that she will never win against the cancer of racial prejudice that infects every part of her life leads her to decide not to battle the literal cancer taking over her body. Her heroine has done everything she was supposed to do and yet it is still not enough. With distilled clarity, Brown conveys just how relentless and exhausting this feels. No encounter or relationship, no success or failure, is untainted by assumptions based on the colour of her skin. Told in fleeting vignettes, recalling the sparse style of Jenny Offill, Assembly offers a depressing kaleidoscope of the ways racism affects the narrator’s life, from all-out abuse from strangers, via colleagues who believe she has it easy thanks to “diversity”, to recognising how her presence gives her boyfriend a “certain liberal credibility”.
