As usual, a male protagonist who knows what he wants and goes straight to the point always wins my heart. Both protagonists, Anna and Quan were so relatable and easily likable. I was expecting something different or rather something not as heavy it turned out to be but boyyyy it was good. As usual, Helen Hoang took this autism themed story to another level by including sub-themes such as insecurity in relationships, toxic family relationships, illness, loss, self-discovery, love and acceptance. This was another compelling and unputdownable book by this author. You can check out my reviews of the first two books (The Kiss Quotient and The Bride Test) in “Book Reviews” or using the search box on this blog. This is the third book in this series and I have been patiently waiting for this book to be released since I read the last one.

Wallace’s life and work invite us to use the institutional language of addiction and the inherent narrative structure of twelve-step programs to read his novels as a progression toward an open-ended and always-contingent recovery from literary theory. This reformed Wallace repurposed these sterile, theoretical paradoxes as models for understanding not just the crises of individual experience, but also of American culture more broadly. Wallace completed only two novels-the first of which is generally dismissed as the work of a young author enamored of his talent, and the second of which is not uncommonly hailed as “the voice of a generation.” Between these novels, he weaned himself off an addiction to the conspicuous narrative foregrounding of poststructuralist theory, progressing into a writer capable of bringing theory to life through narrative engagement with its application. My dissertation frames the evolution of David Foster Wallace’s writing ethic as a function of addiction recovery. Well, when a book is marketed for 9-year-olds and begins with a quote about death and dripping blood, out of a Greek tragedy, it’s fair to say that we’re in odd territory and it’s hard to know exactly how to evaluate it. The point, though, is where I found this copy in the bookshop: on the shelves labelled “Ages 9-12”. Mysteriously, it’s twice the size of my old one and it’s not in big print – we must all have had great eyes in the olden days. I couldn’t find my copy of Watership Down, so I bought a new one. Agamemnon, by Aeschylus, as quoted in Watership Down. CHORUS: Why do you cry out thus, unless at some vision of horror?ĬASSANDRA: The house reeks of death and dripping blood.ĬHORUS: How so? ‘Tis but the odour of the altar sacrifice.ĬASSANDRA: The stench is like a breath from the tomb. So even though we have different screenwriters on the project, I was very involved in that process, and so was Michael Showalter. “I was too protective, too invested in this story to walk away. “ was there as a resource for David and Dan when they needed me,” says Ausiello, having made it clear from the beginning that he’d be hands-on with the movie. To adapt the book, the filmmakers turned to David Marshall Grant, who appears in a small role, and Dan Savage, everybody’s favorite gay activist sex columnist. “So that was something we undertook together, and that sort of set the stage for the memoir.” “It never even dawned on me that I would write a book,” he says, adding that he did have Cowan’s input on the social media posts. The film’s release, and impending reception, mark the culmination of a literary journey that began with Ausiello chronicling his and Cowan’s story on Facebook for family and friends.
