![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Erdrich retakes the lead by offering the reader the gifts of love and richness that only a deeply connected writer can provide. In this season of literary wildfires, when cultural borrowings have unleashed protests that have shaken the publishing industry, the issue of authenticity is paramount. Even that might sound like distant history - but part of Erdrich’s point is that little has changed: As she reminds us in an afterword, the Trump administration has recently tried to terminate the Wampanoag, “the tribe who first welcomed Pilgrims to these shores and invented Thanksgiving.” This isn’t in 1893 the novel takes place in the 1950s. Early in this banquet of a novel that invites us back into Louise Erdrich’s ongoing Chippewa chronicles, a character on the reservation boasts, “Law can’t take my Indian out of me.” Unfortunately, the United States government is hoping to do just that through the Termination Bill, an Orwellian plan that promises to “emancipate” Indigenous people from their lands and their tribal affiliations. ![]() ![]() The accompanying visualizer, created by NYC post-industrial stalwart Trace Amount, adds a compelling visual dimension to the song.

Mustaine, the daughter of Megadeth founder Dave Mustaine, filmed a lyric video for the single, premiering on Rolling Stone Country today. ![]() A modern pop sheen, infectious beat and lush production (courtesy of LA based producer Breyer White) are perfectly paired with lyrics that are as introspective as they are a statement of independence. “Evergreen” is the first look at the new world of music we can expect from Electra. At 23 years old, Electra has begun to hone in on a unique identity as a musician, balking the expectations of those who remember her from numerous performances with her father, stints in musical theater and a country-pop rendition of Megadeth song “I Thought I Knew It All”. ![]() Rising star pop singer Electra Mustaine has always been an artist that commands attention – not just from the weight of her lineage (her father is Megadeth founder Dave Mustaine), but by effusing knowledge of self by unapologetically embracing who she is. ![]() ![]() ![]() Slats’ Lenten poetry series has been compiled in the collection Queering Lent, and their work has also been published in “History of Hymns”, Call to Worship, Sacramental Life, and The Presbyterian Outlook. ![]() They serve on the Friends of NEXT Church team, and are the resident sound designer for the Initance Project. ![]() They hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drama from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, and a Master of Divinity and Certificate in Theology, Women and Gender from Princeton Theological Seminary.

Over the course of their arrangement, Margaret learns as much about herself as she does about the incredibly fantastic past of her new employer, a story that includes all the classic elements: love, betrayal, scandals, and secrets. A recent article brought her name to the attention of the elderly Miss Vida Winter, an incredibly famous and prolific but secretive author who demands Margaret’s presence at her mansion so she can dictate her life story to Margaret. She spends some of her time conducting biographical research on the ancient names she uncovers in her reading, and has even managed to have some work published. In England, protagonist Margaret Lea is a reclusive woman who lives over her family’s antiquarian bookshop, and is content to spend a quiet existence surrounded by the written word and in her father’s peaceful company. ![]() Although it’s not overly long, it took me several weeks to read for I found it so intense that I would just read a couple of chapters a night, while it affected my thoughts all the next day. ![]() It’s complex, engrossing, improbable and yet appealing, especially to my fellow bibliophiles. The Thirteenth Tale, Diane Setterfield’s debut novel, is without reservation the best book I have read all year. ![]() ![]() We cannot help but feel the compelling power of this narrative.

As the definitive single-volume answer to that question, this enthralling book has never been superseded. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Haruki Murakami’s The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (translated by Jay Rubin) begins with the epitome of the everyman, Toru Okada, making pasta and listening to Rossini in his suburban Tokyo home. ![]() ![]() It’s a book you will almost certainly have heard of, by a writer you can’t possible be unaware of, and as well as being a work that launched a thousand memes, it’s actually a very, very good read □ To kick the month off, though, I’m looking at a book I’ve read several times before, albeit in pre-blogging times, so it’s a perfect opportunity to rectify what looks like a surprising oversight in my catalogue of reviews. I’ve got a lot of books lined up (too many, if I’m honest), and I think you’ll all be interested in my selections, even if they’re probably slanted more towards older, even classic, works. Having finally got all of my posts on 2021 out of the way, I’m now free to start a new year of reviewing, and as most of you will be aware, round these parts that means only one thing – #JanuaryInJapan! Yes, as has been the case for many years now, I’ll be focusing on Japanese literature for a month or so, and I’m looking forward to this annual opportunity to indulge my love of J-Lit immensely. ![]() ![]() Millais went on to become one of Britain s most popular painters, but the stigma of his wife's past would never be forgotten.įrom the heart of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood comes a story as fascinating today as it was shocking in the 1850s. ![]() Ruskin was repelled by Effie's body Millais used her as a model in some of his greatest paintings. about Merryn Williams this poet is taking part in the poetry pRO project Merryn Williams: I went to grammar school in Hastings in eleven-plus days, studied English at Murray Edwards College, Cambridge, and got a doctorate for my thesis on Thomas Hardy’s novels. Effie was regarded as mentally ill, immoral and certainly tainted - Queen Victoria initially refused to receive her - while Ruskin was seen either as noble and virtuous or deranged and impotent. ![]() ![]() Ruskin, Millais and Effie were exposed to the kind of gossip today's wannabe celebrities can only dream of. That she could then dare to hope for respectability and even happiness as the wife of artist John Everett Millais fuelled a scandal that was to reverberate around Victorian society for years to come. When Effie Ruskin sought escape from her desperately unhappy life with art critic John Ruskin, she shattered the Victorian illusion of the perfect marriage. Victorian scandals don't come much more intimate and revealing than a wife seeking an annulment from her famous husband because their marriage has not been consummated. ![]() |
