Maybe it looks like some sort of bug or some sort of alien, because that's how I feel. I feel very awkward a lot, and so I want to represent myself with this awkward thing, this thing that doesn't quite look like a person. But somehow we make this little connection with each other, and then it's OK."īrosh brings these stories to life in her new graphic memoir, Solutions and Other Problems, where she reminisces not just about pets but also about weird childhood friends, painful relationships and devastating loss.

But it is as a spectral sequel to Station Eleven that The Glass Hotel stumbles into poignance, as pre-pandemic fiction. With its shattered narrative, the joys of The Glass Hotel are participatory: piecing together the connections and intersections of Mandel’s human cartography, a treasure map ripped to pieces. It’s a beguiling conceit: the global financial crisis as a ghost story. The Glass Hotel is crowded with phantoms: lost mothers wronged victims a “ghost fleet” of empty container ships a beyond-the-grave curse scrawled in acid.

But while loosening job markets might help cool down the economy, it also means layoffs, joblessness, and a potential recession-an unacceptable and risky trade-off for some critics. The Fed and other central banks have underlined tight labor markets and high wages as key underlying causes behind inflation. ![]() ![]() ![]() In an inspiring conversation facilitated by Brunswick Group senior partner, Lucy Parker, Ellen, Kate, and Janine discuss, in Kate's words, the 'profound connections' between the circular economy circular economy A systems solution framework that tackles global challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution.

Haroun: What's the use of stories that aren't even true? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Full of the wit and wisdom of a proud, spirited woman who started off low and climbed high, Dust Tracks on a Road is a rare treasure from one of literature's most cherished voices. ![]() As compelling as her acclaimed fiction, Hurston's very personal literary self-portrait offers a revealing, often audacious glimpse into the life-public and private-of an extraordinary artist, anthropologist, chronicler, and champion of the Black experience in America.

From Zora Neale Hurston, one of the most important African American writers of the twentieth century, comes her riveting autobiography-now available in a limited Olive Edition. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Red Scare, said Miller, “paralysed a generation”. Get prepped for this exciting opening with our definitive guide to The Crucible. ![]() That was definitely the case when Ivo van Hove mounted his Broadway production in 2016, and now the National Theatre brings us their first major revival since 1990, directed by Lyndsey Turner and starring Erin Doherty, Brendan Cowell and Eileen Walsh. Revived numerous times over the decades, adapted for film, and analysed by countless students, it has become a seminal piece in theatre, and yet one that still shocks anew. One test of a truly great work of art is whether it continues to feel resonant, to tap into some universal truths that apply to our lives today – and Miller’s towering work absolutely does. “Nobody but a fanatic, it seemed, could really say all that he believed.” “All the old political and moral reality had melted like a Dali watch,” recalled Miller of that late 1940s-1950s period. “ The Crucible was an act of desperation.” So wrote Arthur Miller in an essay for The New Yorker in 1996, as he reflected on the origins of his powerful play about the 17th-century Salem witch trials – an analogy for the contemporary horror of Senator Joseph McCarthy’s reign of terror. ![]() |
