Readers familiar with Glass’ debut novel, Peach (2018), will recognize her inimitable style here: elliptical and lyric with an intense interiority. As things continue to deteriorate, Laura is less and less sure that her nightmare, waking or otherwise, will ever end. Worst of all, she is seeing things: a woman in black like the specter of death itself, appearing in the Tube, the hospital, and in Laura’s dreams. She is beset by poor sleep and haunted by nightmares. At work, a baby’s health worsens rapidly, and Laura has to navigate the minefield of patients, their families, the doctors and other nurses she works with, and a cluelessly cheerful med student. The man she lives with-addressed throughout in the second person-has become standoffish and irritable the fact that they work opposite shifts doesn’t help the drift between them. But as the novel begins, Laura’s world is falling apart. She has time off coming up, if she can just fight her way through the exhaustion to get there. Laura is trying to make it through a week of night shifts at the hospital children’s ward. A London pediatric nurse struggles not to let her job consume her.

But when her family moves to West Texas so her dad can run in a special election, Kate encounters some difficulties that test all her political skills. He must decide whether to rebuild the Saxons' strength from his watery base and help them to take on the Vikings once more. Uhtred finds himself torn between his Danish foster brother and the winning Vikings, and his growing respect for the stubborn leadership of Alfred. They seek refuge in Athelney, a tidal swamp to which Alfred's kingdom has shrunk. There, forced to move restlessly to escape betrayal or detection, using the marsh mists for cover, they travel by small boats from one island to another, hoping that they can regroup and find some more strength and support. Defeated comprehensively by the Vikings who now occupy most of England, Alfred and his surviving followers retreat to the trackless marshlands of Somerset. But these two, with Alfred's family and a few of Uhtred's companions, are apparently all that remains of the Wessex leadership after a disastrous truce. But at twenty he is still arrogant, pagan and headstrong, so not a comfortable ally for the thoughtful, pious Alfred. Uhtred, Northumbrian born, raised a Viking and now married to a Saxon, is already a formidable figure and warrior. THE PALE HORSEMAN the compelling sequel to the bestselling THE LAST KINGDOM. In other words, she lets no one off the hook. Allen and Picasso, Miles Davis and Ernest Hemingway, Roman Polanski and Bill Cosby: as far as the guys go, that list barely scratches the surface, yet Dederer is clear that in creating their art women too can be monsters of a sort, though their deeds-as in the cases of Sylvia Plath and Doris Lessing-generally involve their identity as mothers. The list of those who have disappointed us, or worse, is long. Because the more deeply we engage with art, the more troubled we’re likely to be over the sins of the people who made it. Is it possible to ever separate the art from the artist? And if not, is it possible to find the sweet spot between our rage and our rapture? Those are just some of the questions Dederer both raises and responds to in Monsters, though this isn’t so much a book of solutions as it is an examination of how we approach the art we love. And yet-with her exhilarating book Monsters: A Fan’s Dilemma, to be published April 25, essayist and critic Claire Dederer holds a small lantern aloft in the darkness. In a way, the unfolding of that mystery is a figure for how VanderMeer himself, a leading light of weird fiction and the fantastical, finds his way through his novels. There’s no obvious reason why “Silvina” should have reached out from beyond the grave to “Jane” - a middle-aged family woman with a job in systems security. “Jane Smith”, as she calls herself for the reader’s benefit (“if that helps”), coolly informs us straight off: “Assume I’m dead by the time you read this.” And for most of the novel, the mysterious Silvina whom she’s pursuing seems to be dead, too. That gnomic communication sets off a paranoia-laced near-future conspiracy thriller but one in which the hard edges and would-be gritty realism of the traditional thriller melt into something more bewildering, more evocative and more surreal an inquiry into identity, a gothic family drama, a fable about ecological catastrophe and the ethics of terrorism.Īs the stuffed hummingbird will indicate, those three words are nothing so prosaic as a secret code. |
