I settle for some Kelly Clarkson, and after my screechy but enthusiastic rendition of “Since U Been Gone,” five (!) different women approach me, complimenting my performance. So far, she’s more than delivered, but the weak karaoke selection - not Dana’s fault! - is a rare low point on a trip that, four days in, has already slowly but surely begun to change my life. She’s technically my press handler, tasked with making sure I see the best that the tour operator, Olivia Travel, has to offer. “These choices are homophobic,” I tell my new friend Dana. I’m determined to do something showstopping, but our offerings are comically limited. Kitts they’re cheering for their new friends they’re here to have a good time.

So I decide to wake the place up a little. It’s night four of the cruise - karaoke night - and everybody’s been picking slow, sad songs.

During the trip, the hero recounts some of the fantastic escapades he participated in, including declaring war on Norway, and charting the drinking habits of his colleagues when leader of a cable laying crew. It is an account of a journey from Moscow to Petushki (Vladimir Oblast) by train, a journey soaked in alcohol. It’s a grotesque story of a foreman of a cable-laying crew who had just been fired from his job because of the abuse of alcohol by his entire team. Yerofeyev is best known for his 1969 poem in prose Moscow-Petushki (several English translations exist, including Moscow to the End of the Line and Moscow Stations).

Elegant, witty and utterly compelling, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell creates a past world of great mystery and beauty that will hold the reader in thrall until the last page. Mr Norrell has never conquered his lifelong habits of secrecy, while Strange will always be attracted to the wildest, most perilous magic.He becomes fascinated by the shadowy figure of the Raven King, and his heedless pursuit of long-forgotten magic threatens, not only his partnership with Norrell, but everything that he holds dear. But the partnership soon turns to rivalry. Together, they dazzle the country with their feats. Jonathan Strange is charming, rich and arrogant. There he meets a brilliant young magician and takes him as a pupil. News spreads of the return of magic to England and, persuaded that he must help the government in the war against Napoleon, Mr Norrell goes to London. Then the reclusive Mr Norrell of Hurtfew Abbey appears and causes the statues of York Cathedral to speak and move. Now, at the beginning of the nineteenth century, he is barely more than a legend, and England, with its mad King and its dashing poets, no longer believes in practical magic. A human child brought up by fairies, the Raven King blended fairy wisdom and human reason to create English magic. The first shall fear me the second shall long to behold me Centuries ago, when magic still existed in England, the greatest magician of them all was the Raven King. With each challenge, Caitlyn struggles to understand a person she never met…but it’s what she discovers about herself that most surprises her. Now he’s disappeared, and Caitlyn finds herself leading a reality-show-style competition to find the school’s next great Paulie Fink. One thing’s for sure, though: The kid was totally legendary. When Caitlyn Breen begins her disorienting new life at Mitchell School–where the students take care of real live goats and study long-dead philosophers, and where there are only ten other students in the entire seventh grade–it seems like nobody can stop talking about some kid named Paulie Fink.ĭepending on whom you ask, Paulie was either a hilarious class clown, a relentless troublemaker, a hapless klutz, or an evil genius. In this acclaimed novel by the author of the award-winning, bestselling The Thing About Jellyfish, being the new kid at school isn’t easy, especially when you have to follow in the footsteps of a legendary classroom prankster. The book feels autobiographical at times and has these little anecdotes spread throughout the book that make one seriously question the supposed ‘dysfuntionality’ of this family. Nothing very spectacular happens, and yet there is a certain rhythm and flow to the story, which makes turning over every page a pleasure. The story is more about the day-to-day lives and conversations that take place between Em and her son and, occasionally, other members of their family. I want to add the prefix ‘long-suffering’ to husband, but somehow he does not come across as someone who is suffering in the way normal humans in the same situation would. Em is short for Ismerelda, who is a daughter, wife and mother and also has several mental health issues. I think it was beautiful and brilliantly thought of.Įm and the Big Hoom is essentially a love story with trials and tribulations of a very different sort from the ones generally encountered in print or films. Once I started reading though, I understood the significance of both the colour and the design. Cue ‘The Color Purple’ and the names which were so phoren sounding. For some reason, I thought the book might be about an African girl and her pet/mentor. The edges of the book were painted a deep purple as well and the cover shows the relief of a woman’s head with tiny strings of bubbles in it. Em and the Big Hoom comes in a gorgeous purple cover and the only reason that I did not buy it was because it would have taken too long to arrive and the book club date was looming pretty close. We examine gender differences in portrayals of workplace refusal. In our companion multimedia, hypertextual Scalar project also titled A Genealogy of Refusal: Walking Away from Crisis and Scarcity Narratives, we contextualize strategies of refusal in libraries through critical response to and annotations of film clips and illustrations. We explore the librarian’s role and voice through the lens of both popular culture and academic publications. In it, we also begin to trace a lineage of crisis narrative critique alongside the library profession’s inheritance of vocational awe. Why can’t librarians “Just Say No”? To answer this question, we look at workplace refusal through the fine arts, literature, and popular culture to construct a genealogy of workplace refusal.
