In many ways a response to the popular utopian fiction of the period, Wells handily inverts a core belief of his day – namely, that scientific and technological progress would, inevitably, lead to a better tomorrow. Still, The Time Machine is hardly light entertainment. Wells’s tale of a nameless scientist who builds a time machine, travels to the year 802,701 AD and there encounters humanity’s descendants – the childlike Eloi and the monstrous Morlocks – continues to engage readers and inspire fellow science fiction authors. More than 100 years after its initial publication in 1895, H.G. There’s no denying that The Time Machine is an extraordinary work of imagination. But when Jess finally gets to Ben's building, he's not there to welcome her. While she's on her way, Ben leaves Jess a message letting her know he will buzz her up when she arrives. While the timing could be better, Ben reluctantly agrees to let Jess stay with him for a bit. Naturally, she reaches out to her only family, half-brother Ben, a freelance journalist living in Paris. The bartender finds herself in a position where she needs to leave her job at the Copacabana bar in Brighton, England, posthaste. USA TODAY bestselling author Lucy Foley ("The Hunting Party" and "The Guest List") is back with another page-turning thriller, "The Paris Apartment," (Willam Morrow, 368 pp., ★★★½ out of four) in which the story and its characters are as unique and beguiling as the city itself. Watch Video: Poet Patrick Rosal voices the history of Filipino-American experience They were alternately known as “waste people,” “offals,” “rubbish,” “lazy lubbers,” and “crackers.” By the 1850s, the downtrodden included so-called “clay eaters” and “sandhillers,” known for prematurely aged children distinguished by their yellowish skin, ragged clothing, and listless minds. The wretched and landless poor have existed from the time of the earliest British colonial settlement to today's hillbillies. Yet the voters that put Trump in the White House have been a permanent part of our American fabric, argues Isenberg. “When you turn an election into a three-ring circus, there’s always a chance that the dancing bear will win,” says Isenberg of the political climate surrounding Sarah Palin. N her groundbreaking bestselling history of the class system in America, Nancy Isenberg, co-author of The Problem of Democracy, takes on our comforting myths about equality, uncovering the crucial legacy of the ever-present, always embarrassing-if occasionally entertaining-poor white trash. Why Mummy Doesn’t Give a ****! carries on not long after Why Mummy Swears, with our heroine, Ellen still reeling from the admission by her husband, Simon that he slept with a random woman whilst on a trip to Spain. Turn those four asterisks into four letters of your choice to make up a rude word and you have a great great title for a book. Her follow up to this book has been released recently among a fanfare of advertising and with the outrageous and hilarious title of ‘Why Mummy Doesn’t Give a ****!’. ‘Why Mummy Swears’ was a hilarious story about being a mum of two youngish children who are approaching adolescence and things in her life are getting on top of her so alcohol or more than the odd expletive is a great help to get by in life. It was entitled ‘Why Mummy Likes to Drink’ and I enjoyed it so much that I put her on my watch list for anything else that she might publish. Similar to my last book review, back in November 2018 I for the first time read a book by an author called Gill Sims. In his essays, personal stories combine with piercing intellect to reflect both on the state of American society and on his experiences with abuse, which conjure conflicted feelings of shame, joy, confusion and humiliation. *Named a Best Book of 2018 by the New York Times, Publishers Weekly, NPR, Broadly, Buzzfeed (Nonfiction), The Undefeated, Library Journal (Biography/Memoirs), The Washington Post (Nonfiction), Southern Living (Southern), Entertainment Weekly, and The New York Times Critics* *WINNER of the Andrew Carnegie Medal and FINALIST for the Kirkus Prize * In this powerful and provocative memoir, genre-bending essayist and novelist Kiese Laymon explores what the weight of a lifetime of secrets, lies, and deception does to a black body, a black family, and a nation teetering on the brink of moral collapse. In fiction, I need to find the core honesty of the character, but this time the character was me. It was a challenge trying to find the honesty that’s necessary when telling a story in the first person. I experimented with time jumps or linear order and picking events that best told the story. Having an outline and supporting materials, such as journals and emails, is not something I normally have. I had to create an outline of events and decide how I wanted to tell my story. With memoir, I already knew what happened. I have a vague idea and a character voice, and then I’ll jump in and explore. Usually, I’m a “write by the seat of your pants” kind of person when it comes to fiction. The story of two opposing presidential candidates’ sons who fall in love will be out next year. Next up is his first non-speculative novel, The State of Us. Hopeful and courageous, Brave Face is every bit as poignant and gripping as Hutchinson’s fiction. He recounts his tumultuous life during his teenage years as he struggled to understand his sexuality, his depression, and the suicide attempt that led to a search for self-acceptance. Now he tackles nonfiction for the first time with his memoir, Brave Face. Novelist Shaun David Hutchinson’s compelling (and award-winning) YA novels combine speculative elements with LGBT characters and themes. ‘I loved Planet Omar because the main character is a Muslim like me. We were delighted to get this feedback from a 12-year-old girl in hospital, after she discovered this book on the Read for Good bookcase. Omar’s inner narrative about his family’s bid to beat prejudice with warmth, imagination and empathy, is brought to life by Nasaya Mafardik’s buoyant Tom Gates-style illustrations. It’s a page-turner that manages to be both entertaining and completely relatable Omar is a boy whose fears of moving to a new area are realised when the school’s bully turns on him and a neighbour reacts with hostility to the new Muslim family. Zanib Mian’s artful debut middle-grade novel Planet Omar: Accidental Trouble Magnet deftly winds together threads of casual racism, playground bullying and a child’s attempts to demystify adult behaviour. We know that publishers of children’s fiction strive to reach today’s children with titles that reflect both the ethnic and cultural diversity of today’s society, as well as the issues which affect them.
