The Death of the Author by Gilbert Adair - bibliographing

http://www.bibliographing.com/2015/01/06/the-death-of-the-author-by-gilbert-adair

How the light gets in. The Death of the Author. I discovered Gilbert Adair because he wrote a series of parody-mysteries of famous Agatha Christie works, for example,. The Act of Roger Murgatroyd. Which, I should say, is hilarious and clever and a toy made to the exact specifications of a locked-room mystery lover with a sense of humor. But I didn’t realize. The Death of the Author. Pages she has just read. The Death of the Author. Mysteries, just like my beloved Agatha Christies and Dorothy Sayers are m...

On the third day of the conference, we had a chance to cross over by ferry to Gozo Island until lunchtime, and later, to go around the capital city of Valletta. By close to 300 years.

Woolf in Winter: Mrs. Dalloway - bibliographing

http://www.bibliographing.com/2010/01/15/woolf-in-winter-mrs-dalloway

Laquo; The year ahead…ugh. Before I read Virginia Woolf, I knew a fair bit about her and her work, but her chief characteristic in my mind was the “stream-of-consciousness” I’d read about, and she felt very wrapped up in the idea of the internal life. It turns out that was a pretty good idea, but not in the way I expected. Where I thought Woolf’s narration would focus on the interior, instead her characters’ thoughts are all externalized. Clarissa Dalloway does not go around London. Did it matter then, s...

Which I thought was just okay (my review will be in. In November); Yasmine el Rashidi’s. Chronicle of a Last Summer. Which is understated and thought-provoking (my review will be in. A tin...
