![]() ![]() Moreover, it is shown that the narrative engages in an intertextual dialogue with another Ovidian generic hybrid, the Pentheus episode in the Metamorphoses (3.511-733), which constitutes an epicized tragedy being an epic narrative modeled on Euripides' Bacchae. In this context, I contend that the episode illustrates Ovid's adherence to Horace's artistic principles concerning proper satyric style as expounded in the Ars Poetica. This paper argues that the story can be read as a miniature elegiac version of a satyr play, on the grounds that it displays trademark elements of the genre. ![]() The humorous episode of Bacchus' institution of apiculture and Silenus' failed attempt to replicate the discovery is a satyric narrative in the Fasti (3.735-762) which has received hardly any attention as such. ![]() ![]() ![]() I don’t know if this will be for everyone - humor is a super subjective thing, after all - but I found this book absolutely freaking hilarious in its entirety.

I would give my life for Iris and Paige and Gideon and Claudia and Zoe and Alex and Noah and Del and even fucking Lena, and I just… don’t know the last time I liked a full cast so much. ![]() Iris starts out the book as a really mean character, very closed off from other people and bad at pulling herself out of her shell, and then she develops into one of the most compelling and freaking amazing female characters of recent years. you wanted developed female friendships? you got developed female friendships. ➽There is a romance and it’s freaking adorable, but the main developing arc of this book is a friendship – that between Iris and Claudia. Here are some things that resonated with me about this book: It was a weirdly emotionally cathartic read for me because it’s a happy book, but it also doesn’t shy away from the fact that these are all teenagers dealing with their own shit.įoolish Hearts follows Claudia, who, after accidentally witnessing the great breakup of Her School’s Popular Sapphic Couple, is forced into a rivalry with the exceptionally closed-off and hurt Iris. like, on a level of my soul I did not know existed I am happy.

Kathy's world seems so logical and mundane, the surface of her language so steady and familiar, that it takes the reader a little time to discover the disturbing facts of the lives she describes. The voice of his new, oppressively brilliant novel, Never Let Me Go, is that of Kathy H, who at 31 is looking back on her curious English boarding-school days at a place called Hailsham. All of his quietly unsettling, intimate vantages have foundations in the voices that narrate them and he spends a good deal of time, too, 'auditioning' these voices, listening to different possibilities, before he settles on one. He spends, he says, around five years on each of his books and the first couple of these years, each time, involves little circumnavigations of the imaginative space of his novel, marking boundaries, testing structures, making himself at home. His writing traps us inside strange skulls.

If he messed up during a game, his father would take him home, stand him in the driveway and hit him violently with pucks. ![]() Scrutinizing every single play Alex made growing up, his father would constantly berate him on his performance no matter how well he did. ![]() His father failed to make it into the NHL, so he set his sights on Alex.

Yeah, everything’s fine,” he answers, sounding a little distracted. He looks even more stunning here, with his skin sun-kissed, causing the freckles on his nose to show more prominently. I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to how breath-stealing Jake truly is. “All okay?” I ask, turning my head to look at him. With a sigh, Jake ends his call and tosses his iPhone onto the side table.
