Maybe this story has been growing in him for years, forming, fragmenting, re-grouping, waiting, a tale chasing a tail in circles back to the ferment of his identity: Kashmiri by ancestry, Muslim by inheritance, a child of that Midnight, and now eclectic, or, as those who imposed the fatwa would claim, wholly corrupted by the depravity of the West. It was a kneading of language that led to the Booker, and the Booker of Bookers. Salman Rushdie has returned to South Asia, theatre of his phenomenal invention of a new form of Anglo-English, or to be less reminiscent of Raj, as he might wish, Indo-English expression. This is the tale of a clown whose tragedy transforms into anger, and then appositely to terrorism. Shalimar is a clown, but only in as far as Jean-Louis Barrault was in Les Enfants du Paradis, or Chaplin in Gold Rush. This time, from his favoured terpsichorean high-wire theme, he brings us a new performer. We just get to dance around beneath his elevated acrobatics, bragging to our friends that yes, indeed we understand how the tightrope tricks are done. But no, with a snap, he reminds us that he holds the strings. The intervening years have perhaps softened him to the extent that he almost allows us believe that we are independently able to grasp his art. He was absent for a while, busy with re-invention, polemic and courtship.

Throughout the book Reese tells childhood stories and describes how strong southern women - especially her Grandmother - have influenced her, making her the person she is today.

Yet another graphic novel for older children/middle grades by rock star graphic novelist Raina Telgemeier, and this one is maybe her most serious and personal, dealing with her lifelong (and continuing!) anxiety, phobias and panic attacks connected to her digestive system. If you like Telgemeier's other books you will probably enjoy this.Įisner 2020 winner Raina Telgemeier, Guts (Scholastic Graphix)!!! I'd liken it to something like Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret but with less of a cohesive, structured storyline. The only reason I struggled with it is because it's not really about anything nor does it have the typical hallmarks of plot. There's not a cohesive storyline, and that probably won't bother most people, but for me it makes a book less enjoyable.Īs usual, Telgemeier makes books with wonderful illustrations that involve realistic kids going through realistic problems (ha ha ha, maybe with the exception of Ghosts). She ends up in therapy, which the book sweetly makes clear is not a big deal or something to be ashamed of. Raina starts to struggle with anxiety, panic attacks, having a very sensitive stomach, and dealing with a mean girl at school.
