Dark Matter is essentially a haunted house story that takes place in a fairly original setting, full of wide, dark spaces although centered around a small, lonely cabin. ![]() Paver is particularly skilled at painting a locale that is highly atmospheric, dislocating, and eerie. Jack is an interestingly almost-unreliable narrator. she creates her characters quickly yet they retain nuance and realism. Paver does an excellent job at conveying the time and the place. there are some other human characters as well but eh whatever, the most compelling part of the story is that Jack meets AN AWESOME HUSKY NAMED ISAAK! who will teach him that only morons hate dogs. ![]() there he will find meaning to his life, camaraderie and fellowship and an intense crush on one of his fellow adventurers, and an atrocious and deadly ghost.

Every page of The Lost Man is drenched in atmosphere. Set in outback Queensland, once again Jane Harper brings the Australian landscape vividly to life. This incredibly gripping and intense novel begins with one of the most cinematic opening chapters I have read in ages - probably since the opening of The Dry. Despite how much I loved her previous two novels, I am stunned to admit I think The Lost Man may well be the best thing she has written. I should have known better than to doubt the genius of Jane Harper. When I first heard this book would not feature Aaron Falk as a main character, I’ll admit, I had some misgivings. The Lost Man rocketed past all my high expectations and set a whole new standard that will be very difficult to beat. Now, with the impending release of her third novel, The Lost Man, I think the question everyone is asking is… can Jane Harper do it again? Publishing two bestselling and award-winning novels in two years is quite an impressive feat. ![]() And then, still riding the enormous success of her debut, she smashed it out of the park again with her second novel, Force of Nature. Like many people, I was utterly blown away by Jane Harper’s astonishing first novel, The Dry. ![]() 5/26/2023 0 Comments In other words by jhumpa lahiri![]() ![]() ![]() Nilanjana Sudeshna "Jhumpa" Lahiri was born in London and brought up in South Kingstown, Rhode Island. A startling act of self-reflection and a provocative exploration of belonging and reinvention. Presented in a dual-language format, it is a book about exile, linguistic and otherwise, written with an intensity and clarity not seen since Nabokov. ![]() ![]() In Other Words, an autobiographical work written in Italian, investigates the process of learning to express oneself in another language, and describes the journey of a writer seeking a new voice. In Rome, Lahiri began to read, and to write-initially in her journal-solely in Italian. So in 2012, seeking full immersion, she decided to move to Rome with her family, for “a trial by fire, a sort of baptism” into a new language and world. And although Lahiri studied Italian for many years afterward, true mastery had always eluded her. For Jhumpa Lahiri, that love was for Italian, which first captivated and capsized her during a trip to Florence after college. In Other Words is at heart a love story-of a long and sometimes difficult courtship, and a passion that verges on obsession: that of a writer for another language.
