In 1925, his mother earned a bachelor’s degree in home economics. His father was a gold mine and limestone quarries manager. Biographyīass was born to Marvin and Jenny Bass in Staunton, Virginia. Carved in Bone, Flesh, and Bone, The Devil’s Bones, Bones of Betrayal, The Bone Thief, The Bone Yard, The Inquisitor’s Key, Cut To the Bone, and The Breaking Point are among the fictional works created by Jefferson and Bass under the pen name “Jefferson Bass.” Despite his retirement from teaching, Bass remains active in the University’s forensic anthropology program as a researcher. Bass has often referred to the body farm as “Death’s Acre,” the title of the book he co-wrote with writer Jon Jefferson about his life and profession. The Facility is also known as “The Body Farm,” a name inspired by Bass and his work and popularised by crime author Patricia Cornwell in a novel of the same name. He developed the University of Tennessee Anthropological Research Facility, the first of its kind in the world while teaching at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. ![]() He’s also helped federal, municipal, and international officials identify human remains.

At only seventy-nine pages, the book is an alchemical feat of miniaturization, a distillation and bottling-up of the essence of a summer afternoon her slight, subtle prose turns so casually away from excess detail that the resulting image of reality is imbued with a curious weightlessness. ![]() You often get the impression that time has been loosened somehow, as though Kawakami were stringing it up leisurely on a washing line, careful to place her clothespins just so. Time unfolds on a human scale, marked by minor intimacies. there’s a slow sensuality at the core of Parade, a product of Kawakami’s relaxed faith in the blessedness of the quotidian. You don’t really need to be aware that Parade is a loose sequel to Kawakami’s previous novel, 2017’s Strange Weather in Tokyo, to enjoy the former, since it stands on its own as an enrapturing display of writerly grace and restraint. ![]() ![]() ![]() Humanity and atevi are similar enough that they quickly establish cordial relations, and different enough that war is inevitable.īut I’m not going to do a whole series recap-we’d be here forever, since the series at this point consists of 19 books with at least two more to come. Atevi don’t experience the same emotions as humans and have an innate perception of numbers that’s described as roughly analogous to the human perception of color. The series (starting with Foreigner) tells the tale of a lost human colony ship forced to take permanent refuge at far-off world populated by heretofore undiscovered aliens: the three-meter tall black-skinned atevi. However, for the past couple of decades Cherryh has been focusing on a different series altogether: the Foreigner books. Her best-known works are the long-running Alliance-Union novels, which taken together describe a war-filled future history epic of the expansion of humankind off of Earth and into the rest of the galaxy. Her strength is in building worlds populated with believable humans and non-humans, and then writing those characters in such a way that the reader ends up deeply empathizing with them-even the most alien of aliens. ![]() Cherryh is one of the last great living masters of science fiction, easily on a par with Clarke, Herbert, or Wolfe. ![]() ![]() ![]() Click ‘Customise Cookies’ to decline these cookies, make more detailed choices, or learn more.

I tend to hide away at home to write, usually at my kitchen table with a cat or 2 (or 4) keeping me company. I find that I'm easily distracted, so write when the rest of the family is either asleep or at work/school - and though I wish I was, I'm not one of those authors who can work at the local coffee shop. I don't have much in the way of routines, as I tend to write when I feel moved to write and don't force myself to meet a certain word count each day, or to write for a set amount of time. She’s been described as a helluva storyteller (Kirkus) and a writer of vice-like control. Her books have been translated into over thirty languages and have sold over two million copies worldwide.

And TBH, now feels like a good time for momentary distractions and escapades.Īs the new coronavirus pandemic rages on and many of us are still processing the most recent instances of police brutality, more people than ever seem to be reaching for books to help them process their emotions and think through race in America. Romance novels-with their fast-moving plots, vibrant characters, and sex scenes that leap off of the page-can transport you into a world that’s a bit more exciting and pleasant than our own. Even if your summer doesn’t include sandcastles or waves, you should still pick up a beach read to keep you company. ![]() ![]() ![]() Reno is an aspiring artist and motorcycle aficionado who moves to New York City to take on the art world at more or less the very moment when money and power are starting to dictate the terms of New York’s increasingly vicious and competitive gallery scene. It takes place in the 1970s at the Bonneville Salt Flats (the Utah location where world speed records are routinely made and broken), the New York City downtown art scene, and various locations in Italy. The Flamethrowers is a thoroughly engaging and finely written, if utterly conventional, novel. And that’s the case with the woman known only as Reno, the protagonist in Rachel Kushner’s The Flamethrowers (Scribner’s 2013). In fiction, when someone is known only by the name of the place they came from, it’s often a sign that they will never be anything but an outsider wherever else they go. ![]() |
