![]() ![]() ![]() I don’t have any recollection of the physical appearance of the book, but it must have been a new hardback, for I picked it up shortly after it was published. I liked to hang around the library after school because as the only child of working parents I found our empty apartment in the late afternoons cold and lonely. Perhaps it was on display as a new release. 52 Manhattan (Alberto Manguel, in his wonderful A History of Reading, says that “largely encounters with books have been a matter of chance” ). I came across it entirely by accident at the Inwood public library up on Broadway one block north of my junior high school, P.S. It is the first book I read in English, and it is the book that made me a reader. Forester published the first of the Horatio Hornblower books that I read, Lieutenant Hornblower, in 1952, the year that my family and I arrived in the United States (the first book of the saga Forester wrote, however- Beat to Quarters-came out in 1939). ![]()

Oranges are not6/7/2023 ![]() ![]() She was in the white corner and that was that. ![]() My father liked to watch the wrestling, my mother liked to wrestle it didn’t matter what. To give you an example of the writing style and her mother we can start right at the beginning, on the first page of the novel. One part of me loved the writing style and the humour of the storytelling, while the other part of me flinched repeatedly at the story being told and the behaviour of the characters, especially Jeanette’s mother. Rather like my experience of reading The White Tiger, I was in two minds as I read through this short novel. Jeanette is a natural orator and is excellent at converting folk to the church, until one day she falls in love.Īnd her first love affair challenges her faith, her church and ultimately her relationships with everyone. All is going along as per the plan, even with detours to “the breeding ground”, also known as school, because her mother might go to jail otherwise. ![]() ![]() Her mother intends her to be a missionary for their church, in the mould of her spiritual guide and missionary idol, Pastor Spratt. Jeanette is brought up to preach and convert the Heathen. It is set in the bleakness of a mill town in the north of England in the 1960s. The novel follows the early life and coming of age of Jeanette, a young girl adopted into a working class evangelical family. Oranges are not the Only Fruit is the 1985 winner of the Whitbread Award for First Novel. ![]()

The Reality Bubble by Ziya Tong6/6/2023 ![]() Skinny Legs and All by Tom Robbins is the only work of fiction on this list.

In the urban jungle, we are bound by different threads: unsleeping algorithms that trawl the internet finding “patterns that are invisible to human eyes”. ![]()

Book the quiet americans6/6/2023 ![]() ![]() But time and again their efforts went awry, thwarted by a combination of stupidity and ideological rigidity at the highest levels of the government – and more profoundly, the decision to abandon American ideals. The four ran covert operations across the globe, trying to outwit the ruthless KGB in Berlin, parachuting commandos into Eastern Europe, plotting coups, and directing wars against Communist insurgents in Asia. ![]() The Quiet Americans chronicles the exploits of four spies – Michael Burke, a charming former football star fallen on hard times, Frank Wisner, the scion of a wealthy Southern family, Peter Sichel, a sophisticated German Jew who escaped the Nazis, and Edward Lansdale, a brilliant ad executive. The American government’s strategy in response relied on the secret efforts of a newly-formed CIA. ![]() But it was clear – to some – that the Soviet Union was already executing a plan to expand and foment revolution around the world. ![]() ‘A darkly entertaining tale about American espionage, set in an era when Washington’s fear and skepticism about the agency resembles our climate today.’ New York Times At the end of World War II, the United States dominated the world militarily, economically, and in moral standing – seen as the victor over tyranny and a champion of freedom.
