Mysteries by Knut Hamsun7/8/2023 ![]() ![]() His shoulders were very broad he was between twenty-eight and thirty, but definitely not older, although his hair was beginning to turn gray at the temples.” On one finger he wore a plain ring of lead or iron. “He was below average in height his face was dark-complexioned, with deep brown eyes which had a strange expression, and a soft, rather feminine mouth. Hamsun’s initial description of Nagel paints a portrait of a rather ordinary individual: Moreover, we are left wondering, at the end, if it was actually meant to. His arrival in a small Norwegian town in 1891, with no visible aim or purpose, is the first piece in a puzzle that doesn’t ever quite fit together. ![]() At the core of the story is Johan Nagel, easily one of the most enigmatic characters in literary history. This is a book in which nothing is quite as it seems to be, and the more closely the reader examines it or tries to make sense of it, the more inexplicable it becomes. To dissect Knut Hamsun’s Mysteries as one would an ordinary novel is impossible. Alexis Wingate - The Mystery of Mysteries ![]()

I have long been a fan of mysteries, and this is one of the best I’ve ever read. Blanche, of course, winds up discovering the perpetrator of several murders.

As readers, we can differentiate between a science fiction novel that focuses on adventure-laden space travel versus one that looks at how interacting with alien lifeforms illuminates the human condition. In other words, speculative fiction revolves around human concerns versus technological wonders.Īt first glance, Heinlein's definition appears useful. ![]() Robert Heinlein is largely credited with coining the term in his 1947 essay, "On the Writing of Speculative Fiction." He asserted that speculative fiction is fiction that focuses not on science and technology, but on human reactions to new situations caused by science and technology. The discussion around what constitutes speculative fiction is nothing new. ![]() Torchwood pack animals7/7/2023 ![]() But will Torchwood find out before it's too late that the game is horribly real, and the deck is stacked against them?įeaturing Captain Jack Harkness as played by John Barrowman, with Gwen Cooper, Owen Harper, Toshiko Sato and Ianto Jones as played by Eve Myles, Burn Gorman, Naoki Mori and Gareth David-Lloyd, in the hit science fiction series created by Russell T Davies for BBC Television.

The blurb on the front of this book says “Lesbian necromancers explore a haunted gothic palace in space!” What more am I expected to say? That’s hit or miss, depending on my mood at the time for men speaking at length. And maybe you will also read the book, and we can say whether we liked it or not, but very specifically not talk about the 90s with each other.Īssuming I can tolerate Chuck Klosterman for a whole book. ![]() Anyway, I’m happy to indulge in book form, alone, by myself.

So I will try to do my best without ruining the story for you.įirst of, it was great to catch up with the team, especially Blakey, and the WAGs □ If you read the first book of the series ‘Good Boy’, you will remember Matt, the bitter newly divorced guy, who has twins. Most of the times when I read an amazing story, I get the feeling that whatever I say won’t be enough to convey my feelings and do justice for the book. As always, fantastic duo didn’t disappoint.

The unsolved Borden murders have passed into folklore (""Lizzie Borden took an ax, gave her mother forty whacks"") and the question of Lizzie's guilt (she was acquitted but remained under suspicion for the rest of her life) remains unanswered in Geary's book. As in his Jack the Ripper, Geary uses a fictional narrator to present a stylish, painstakingly researched treatment of the gruesome 1892 ax-murders of Abby and Andrew Borden in Falls River, Mass., and of the investigation, trial, and public and media spectacle that followed. Comics artist Geary returns with another typically superlative work, the third in his series, A Treasury of Victorian Murder. ![]() |
