Cartoonist Art Spiegelman, who produced an illustrated edition, says William Burroughs once told him, “It’s the book that made me want to be a writer.”Įxcept for a misbegotten movie that conflated it with the Fatty Arbuckle scandal, The Wild Party was forgotten until Spiegelman’s version came out in 1994. Written in rhymed couplets (“Queenie was a blonde, and her age stood still, / And she danced twice a day in vaudeville.”), March’s tale of a lethal Manhattan soiree was a succes de scandale in 1928, thanks to its depictions of high life, low characters, brutal violence, and unusual sexual preferences. Joseph Moncure March was a preppy former student of Robert Frost who became managing editor of The New Yorker in its early days and made his name with The Wild Party, a book-length poem about Jazz Age decadence.

The war has been going on as long as any of them can remember and has caused serious hostilities between the three factions. She's the leader of one of the Houses on the school's campus and has also been chosen to lead the school in their annual territory war with Jellicoe's Townies and the military school Cadets who come to town once a year for training in the wilderness. Since then, Taylor's been haunted by memories of her mother, the mystery of who her father was, and questions of her own identity.Īs if that's not enough, Taylor has some major responsibilities on her hands. A few minutes later, Hannah, a housemother at the Jellicoe School, drove up and took Taylor back to the school with her, which would be her home for the next six years. When she was eleven years old, her mother abandoned her at a gas station on the Jellicoe Road. ![]() ![]() ![]() These days he might have been tempted to apply it to environmentalism. It’s a kind of litmus test for the health of a worldview – to measure the art it produces. ![]() Any political view, no matter how useful or right, that can’t persuade artists to make good art out of it, has real problems. Regardless of what we think of Auden, Orwell has a point. He goes on to say that “the high-water mark, so to speak, of Socialist Literature, is WH Auden, a sort of gutless Kipling, and the even feebler poets who are associated with him” – trying to kill two perfectly good birds with one slightly childish stone. I n The Road to Wigan Pier, George Orwell complains that “artists of any consequence can never be persuaded into the Socialist fold … Nearly everything describable as Socialist literature is dull, tasteless, and bad.” He calls this fact “disastrous”. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() What Kol doesn’t know is that underneath Mya’s cool disdain is a history wrought with loss that comes to light when another clan arrives. ![]() He wants her to trust him, but any hopes of impressing her are ruined when he makes a careless-and nearly grave-mistake. Then bold, enigmatic Mya arrives from the south with her family, and Kol is captivated. Hunting, gathering, and keeping his family safe-that’s the life seventeen-year-old Kol knows. Loosely inspired by Pride and Prejudice, Ivory and Bone is an enthralling tale of high-stakes survival, blinding betrayal, and star-crossed love.

When a mysterious fey stranger appears to save the king, he also carries a secret that could tear the royal family apart. In the ancient moors of Scotland, the king of Calidon lies on his deathbed, cursed by a ring that cannot be removed from his finger. The story takes place in Ancient Scotland so expect a more classic, almost-Shakespearish writing style. ![]() Nancy Springer has a very classic way of writing, and this is enhanced even more in The Oddling Prince because of the Old English that is used. This is not like present-day YA fantasy books. If you aren’t familiar with Nancy Springer’s writing, you might be a little confused when you read The Oddling Prince. Can you tell how I’m subtly (not-so-subtly) trying to push this book on you? Read it. It’s up on Goodreads already if you are interested. I will put up my review of the book on my blog soon. Morgan is a fascinating morally-gray character and it is still one of my favorite standalone fantasy books to this day. I loved her writing and the dark, atmospheric setting. It was one of the books that solidified my love for fantasy back in grade school before Harry Potter came out. If you didn’t know I absolutely love her book, I Am Morgan le Fay. It is about the King Arthur’s half-sister. When I heard that Nancy Springer was releasing a YA fantasy book, I was thrilled. ![]() ![]() ![]()
