Book Review: Uprising
March 25, 2023
I’m not an adventurous person, but I found myself absorbed by the stories of the mountaineering & off-the-beaten-track journeys in this book.
Ray loves reading all sorts of books, particularly when they feature lyrical writing and a snappy plot; tricky, messy relationships of all kinds; funny, clever people overcoming obstacles both mental and physical; and/or queer people, places and spaces. Memoir, historical fiction, poetry, contemporary fiction, (some kinds of) sci-fi, essays, and non-fiction epics have all featured in Ray’s recent reading.
I’m not an adventurous person, but I found myself absorbed by the stories of the mountaineering & off-the-beaten-track journeys in this book.
A totally engrossing and luminous novel about trailblazing writers and artists living in Europe at the turn of the century
A well-paced, emotional, and beautifully written story about a mid-career ballet choreographer who is forced to confront and examine her past.
There’s so much life & action packed into this brutal, fast, furious story about Monday a fighter/bartender living paycheck to paycheck in NZ.
Shocking, funny, heart-breaking, totally bizarre, ‘The Rabbit Hutch’ is a remarkable novel that almost defies explanation.
