Compulsively cruising the toilets of Oxford, Ritvik "realizes, in slow stages, that his is a type of minority appeal, catering to the 'special interest' group. Most strikingly, Ritwik is gay and Mukherjee (right) writes wonderfully and wryly about the young man's exploration of everyday gay life. If this at first seems like familiar territory in the postcolonial novel of displacement, be assured that in Mukherjee's hands, it is a very much more original idea.Ī number of things make this impressive debut stand out. Having buried both his parents in Calcutta, Ritwik Ghosh arrives in Oxford, a scholarship boy studying English literature, and confronts dislocation and detachment. The protagonists have different expectations from their move to England and are anxious to be included, as they only half-belong to the world they are in. As the title to Neel Mukherjee's first novel suggests, this is a story about never quite being a part of the worlds one inhabits. Odysseus Abroad and A Life Apart highlight the questions of loneliness, isolation, homesickness and attempts to adjust. ![]() ![]() ![]() There must be some government among men, and as angels are not sent to dispense it, God allows men to rule over men. He lends them his name, and this is their authority for acting as judges, but they must take care that they do not misuse the power entrusted to them, for the Judge of judges is in session among them. They are gods to other men, but he is GOD to them. On the other side of the Calvinist/Arminian divide, Charles Spurgeon likewise takes the view that human magistrates are the focus on this Psalm, arguing: 2 Psalm 82 by C. John Wesley, in his explanatory notes on this Psalm, argues that “judges and magistrates are called gods, because they have their commission from God, and act as his deputies.” When the Most High God tells these “gods” that they will die like men, Wesley reasons that he only means “like ordinary men,” though is silent on the verse’s parallel statement, “and fall like any prince.” 1 Psalm 82 Bible Commentary.

The journey of the eponymous cicada-an unappreciated, abused office worker-reimagines the peculiar life cycle of these extraordinary creatures in a stark, bleak, near-monochromatic human office environment, where all but the besuited insect are faceless, and the maze of cubicles look like Escher's might have if he'd had the joy stamped out of him. ![]() Although more distinctly a narrative picture book than some of his others, Cicada's darkness breeds a rich subtext that will serve well in classrooms and resonate with older children and adults. Sydney Arts GuideĬicada is a work that packs a punch regardless of your age.

The subject of parents charging past every ethical restraint in pursuit of crème de la crème education could not be more timely. In this sharply entertaining novel from Holsinger (The Invention of Fire), Crystal, Colo., is an affluent community where a new gifted magnet school for grades six through 12 will soon open.With. "Holsinger's pitch is close to perfect. exposes how easily a mix of good intentions, self-delusions, and minor sins can escalate into the kind of skullduggery that might prompt an F.B.I. “Holsinger renders his helicopter moms and soccer dads so precisely that one understands their motivations, even feels their longing and pride. There’s a sweetness to its resolution, a satisfying possibility that no matter what monsters we parents are at times, we can still graduate to something better.” -Ron Charles, The Washington Post “Wise and addictive… The Gifted School is the juiciest novel I’ve read in ages… a suspenseful, laugh-out-loud page-turner and an incisive inspection of privilege, race and class.” – The New York Times Book Review “A surprisingly hopeful novel. ![]() |
