While this book is definitely one of the lighter feeling ones in the series, it still has those dark elements that make it so fun. Redwine’s writing is dark, gritty, and realistic. Another game where the lies were pretty, the questions were pointed, and the calculations were shrewd.”Ĭ.

"Why?" involves looking at the motivation and interests of the various human and non-human actors (publishing houses, organizations, translators etc), as well as the complex interplay of geopolitical, economic, and cultural factors on publishing and literary transfer. Taking as its point of departure the somewhat provocative question "Why translate children's literature?", it goes on to parse the three component parts. This article presents a systematic look at the different actors, factors, and contexts involved in the field of translating children's literature. Elle Kennedy The Score Main CharactersĪllie Hayes is the heroine of this particular story, and we find her in crisis mode. This is the third book in Elle Kennedy’s great “Off Campus” series.

After welcoming Whiteley to our annual Current Research in Speculative Fiction Conference (CRSF2022) at the University of Liverpool, I was eager to purchase her books and get lost in her narratives. I stumbled upon Aliya Whiteley’s 2019 novel, Skein Island, by pure chance. She has written over one hundred published short stories that have appeared in Interzone, Beneath Ceaseless Skies, Black Static, Strange Horizons, The Dark, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency and The Guardian, as well as in anthologies such as Unsung Stories’ 2084 and Lonely Planet’s Better than Fiction. Her short story collection From the Neck Up was published in 2021. Published in 2020, her novels Greensmith and Skyward Inn have been works of speculative fiction. The following historical-SF novella, The Arrival of Missives, was a finalist for the Campbell Memorial Award, and her noir novel The Loosening Skin was shortlisted for the Arthur C Clarke Award. Her 2014 SF-horror novella The Beauty was shortlisted for the James Tiptree and Shirley Jackson awards. I hold her prisoner, and that is what she deserves”Īliya Whiteley writes across many different genres and lengths. Agent: Caitlin Blasdell, Liza Dawson Associates. It’s a little convoluted at times but wholly entertaining as the big picture comes to light. As always, Stross feels like the smartest guy in the room, pushing the boundaries of identity and humanity while offering up what may be the first epic tale of futuristic macroeconomics. At stake is a financial document worth untold amounts, and a secret that could rock the very underpinnings of the galaxy-wide economy if revealed. As Krina travels across the galaxy one step ahead of a deadly assassin, she encounters eccentric monks in a spacefaring chapel, feral insurance underwriters, and undersea civilizations. 96 Inches (D) Weight. In the year 7000, Krina Alizond-114, one of the robot-descended metahumans who succeeded humankind, is on a quest to find her missing sister Ana.

In this loosely connected follow-up to 2008’s Saturn’s Children, Stross injects the trappings of space opera with his own wildly imaginative concepts, weaving a tale of economic intrigue against a backdrop of eons and light years. Therefore, I never really got interested in Arthurian tales. Maybe because King Arthur was, in this movie, in direct opposition to Lancelot, I did not care much for him, or the fact that he is supposed to be the main character. Characters like the Lancelot depicted in First Knight - clever, skillful, and free-spirited - had my full attention, because they reflected who I wished to be. My first encounter with Arthurian legends, though, was the movie First Knight, staring Richard Gere as Lancelot, Sean Connery as King Arthur, and Julia Ormond as Guinevere. I was obsessed with Xena: Warrior Princess as a child, and that possibility of being both a princess and a warrior made up my entire personality. She will steal the hearts of beautiful women, fight warriors and sorcerers, and make herself a home. With a stolen hunting spear and mended armour, she begins a journey of magic, mystery, love, lust and fights to the death. Brimming with magic and eager to test her strength, she sets out for Caer Leon. She grows up in the wild wood, in a cave with her mother, but when she hears a traveler speak of Artos, king of Caer Leon, she decides her future lies at his court. She left all she knew to find who she could be. Blessed with the gift of imagination, she was driven to write from an early age. She was born into poverty and a broken home as Marie Grace de Repentigny in the mill town of Manchester, New Hampshire. Grace Metalious was an American author, best known for the controversial novel Peyton Place. Treat yourself to this rediscovered classic. Peyton Place and its sequel, Return to Peyton Place, the books that readers used to hide under their mattresses, are now recognized by scholars as the Silent Generation's Perfect Storm and predecessors to the women's liberation movement. Peyton Place, the small, seemingly respectable New England town, is revealed as a vividly realistic cauldron of secrets and scandal. At home, the rest of the most controversial characters in 1950s American fiction continue to create a stir in this ongoing expose of sex, hypocrisy, social inequity, and class privilege in contemporary America. In 1959 the sizzling sequel, Return to Peyton Place, picked up where Peyton Place left off: Allison MacKenzie, now the author of America's #1 bestseller, is thrown into the glamorous whirl of the smart set of New York and Hollywood. In 1956 Grace Metalious published Peyton Place, the novel that unbuttoned the straitlaced New England of the popular imagination, transformed the publishing industry, topped the bestseller lists for more than a year, and made its young author one of the most talked-about people in America. “A true fantasy masterpiece." -Sabaa Tahir, #1 New York Times bestselling author of An Ember in the Ashes series "A new classic." -Marie Lu, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Skyhunter Brown, New York Times bestselling author of A Song of Wraiths and Ruin But will they be strong enough to confront the latest evil that Queen Erida and Taristan have unlocked?
