![]() ![]() I subsequently came to know Miss Chute and am extremely grateful for her encouragement. ![]() My interest in Katherine began one day nearly four years ago when I read mention of her in Marchette Chute’s charming biography, Geoffrey Chaucer of England. I have based my story on actual history and tried never to distort time, or place, or character to suit my convenience.įor those who are interested in sources, I append my main ones below while for those who may wish to know something of the book’s background and the writing of it, here are some brief notes. In telling this story of Katherine Swynford and John of Gaunt, the great Duke of Lancaster, it has throughout been my anxious endeavour to use nothing but historical fact when these facts are known - and a great deal is known about the fourteenth century in England. ![]()

Modern teen life just outside Philadelphia is vividly drawn in Ashley’s first-person tale, and it’s both screamingly funny and surprisingly tender. It delights her very pregnant mom it makes dealing with all those detentions and uncompleted assignments even more of a chore it focuses Nat’s slightly addled Russian grandmother on dressmaking and calls Ashley’s hilarious aunts to the fore.

Keezy Young is a queer comic artist and illustrator from the Pacific Northwest, currently in Seattle, WA. This comic has strong queer characters without the story being expressly about that on the page. The artwork is colorful and helps tell the story really well. I think one of the things I loved about this comic was having characters closer in age to me, not teenagers but adults navigating through life. There is something beautiful about a spirit being able to find that after they've passed. I think all any of us want is to be really seen by someone and be loved. I mean is there anything more dreamy than ghosts and plants? The specter of life and death woven together through a beautiful story of love and friendship.

When he returned, he shot Ana Lucia and Libby in order to release Benjamin Linus from captivity, and caused the capture of Jack, Sawyer, and Kate, meeting his end of the deal he had made with the Others in return for Walt.

His protagonists are hungry for love, but they’re hampered by fear and apprehension. His characters tend to travel - and feel - alone, and when they approach connection with a stranger, or even with a friend, the result is a new kind of loneliness, one fraught with mixed feelings and regret and the mysteries of otherness. Galgut’s abiding theme in his previous novels (all of them excellent), and again here, is the persistence of loneliness. He particularly is focused on the years from 1906, when Forster met and fell in love with his 17-year-old Indian student Syed Ross Masood, to 1924, when “A Passage to India,” his first novel in 14 years, was published to wide acclaim. Galgut seems to have absorbed it all, and he relies on this detailed information as the basis for his novel. ![]() In addition to his novels, stories and nonfiction books, we have his copious letters and journals and several biographies, including, most recently, Wendy Moffat’s “A Great Unrecorded History” (2010). ![]() We know a lot about Forster, who died in 1970. Its epigraph quotes Forster at age 74: “Orgies are so important, and they are things one knows nothing about.” Forster was a virgin at 37, and his tortuous path toward sexual maturity is a main plotline of “Arctic Summer,” Damon Galgut’s brilliant biographical novel. ![]() |
