This book is short, brutal, poetic, strong, and abstract. Thoughts: Sure, this is a retelling of the Snow White fairy tale, but it’s a fair bit deeper and more innovative than you might assume, and not just because the title character has a gem-studded pistol and no real second thoughts about beating you in a fist-fight - or a gun fight - should the need arise. Why am I reading it? Rachel (my wife) saw it on the shelf at B&N and it caught her eye. Summer Reading Chall… on Friday Five: Reasons to Read D…īook: Six-Gun Snow White by Catherynne M.

The antichrist returns, becoming the president of the world before going to war with the Catholic Church, precipitating the end of the world.” Tom Kington, “Etonian novelist shaped Pope’s world view,” The Times, 30 January 2015, 40. The report in The Times observes that his novel, Lord of the World, set in a dystopian twenty-first century, “sees Marxists, humanists and Freemasons taking over a society where euthanasia is obligatory for the ill and Esperanto is the common language. He passed away in 1914 at the age of 42, possibly from pneumonia judging by an account of the last days of his life by Canon Sharrock in the Tablet, 24 October 1914, 569. He was the son of Edward White Benson, the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury from 1883 to 1896. Monsignor Benson was an Anglican priest and novelist who embraced Catholicism in 1903. According to a recent report in The Times newspaper (30 January 2015), “the Pope has urged anyone who wants to understand him to read a science fiction novel published in 1907 by Robert Hugh Benson”. But when he receives a mysterious letter containing only a cryptic drawing, he is drawn into a quest to find her. To keep the peace and restore prosperity, the authorities are now allowed to re-locate children of dissidents, especially those of Asian origin, and libraries have been forced to remove books seen as unpatriotic - including the work of Bird's mother, Margaret, a C hinese American poet who left the family when he was nine years old.īird has grown up disavowing his mother and her poems he doesn't know her work or what happened to her, and he knows he shouldn't wonder. For a decade, their lives have been governed by laws written to preserve 'American culture' in the wake of years of economic instability and violence. Bird knows not to ask too many questions, stand out too much, stray too far. Twelve-year-old Bird Gardner lives a quiet and circumspect existence with his loving but broken father, a talented linguist now relegated to shelving books in a library. From the #1 bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere, a deeply heartwrenching novel about the unbreakable love between a mother and child in a society consumed by fear.

Sometimes that makes my life slightly crazy, but I’ve also entered a season where I have more time to devote to my writing career. The other truth is, I tend to set high goals for myself and then push myself to achieve them. It made sense to release them in quick succession, especially because I have other projects-like The Fairest Maidens YA series-waiting in the wings. And in this particular case, my books were ready and my publisher had openings for them this year. Because of that, I have more flexibility with release dates. The truth is, I write most of my projects at least eighteen months ahead of publication. So then, how did I manage to write three books in such close succession?Īctually, I didn’t crank them out one after the other. In fact, over the years I’ve become more obsessive about editing my books, not less. It’s not within my genes to skimp on anything. I usually plod along, eking out a daily word count with sweat and tears. Very much not.Īnd no, I don’t write really fast either. While I wish I could say I was superwoman, no, sadly, I am not. One question that has cropped up is: How in the world did you manage to write three books in such close succession? Are you superwoman? Do you write really fast? Or maybe you skimp on the editing? And now Almost a Bride releases next Tuesday, August 25. You may (or may not!) know that three out of the four books in the series released this year.
