Fancying a rewatch of #BBC 1999 #TV version of #ElizabethGaskell Wives and Daughters. We haven’t seen it since it first aired but have the #DVD, which I just pulled out of a precariously tall DVD pile in our sitting room! Looking forward to it. I reread the original novel recently. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0215364/ #BritishTV #90sTV #VictorianLiterature #19thCenturyLiterature #NineteenthCenturyLiterature #Novels #CostumeDrama #WomenAuthors #FemaleAuthors #Books #19thCenturyNovels #VictorianNovels #Fiction

3) Ada Palmer - "Too Like the Lightning"

Explores crime, punishment, redemption, and apocalypse. Just started it, so can't really comment on it in depth, but it's GREAT

2) Arkady Martine - "A Memory Called Empire"

Another exploration of imperialism and colonialism, particularly addressing how the colonized can learn to identify and grapple with the imperial center. Phenomenal. Also part of a 2-part series

Actually, now I think about it, I can't recommend Monica Byrne's book enough. I can't possibly summarize it enough to do it justice, but in short, it's a 3,000 year spanning story, that raises questions about gender, reincarnation, environmental catastrophe, history... it's written very reminiscent of magical realism, or even of the more fantastic parts of Cormac McCarthy's work, where you're never quite sure if what is happening is happening for real in the story, or in the characters's imaginations.

YEah, I can't explain it. But, if you get it, it will be unlike anything you've read.

Reading Biblical Narratives: Literary Criticism and the Hebrew Bible (2001).

I'm happy to announce that two papers of mine were published today. One is about #Premodern #Croatian #literature and the #VenetianPress, where I establish a new historical category of a reader by assignment. The other one concerns the image of #learnedwomen and #womenauthors in Ragusan and Dalmatian #renaissancepoetry in Italian😁

Have a look at them on my Academia.edu page: sns.academia.edu/BornaTreska

Some of my favorite writers have new books coming out in 2023, including #ColsonWhitehead 's #HarlemShuffle followup.

I read mostly fiction written by a diverse group of authors, inclusive of genders, ethnicities, nationalities, religions, ages and races. If you can, broaden your reading experience to include a book written by someone "different" from you.
