![]() ![]() Admittedly, the eponymous agricultural monarch - a girl named Dot Adare - is one-quarter Chippewa yet the most interesting part of her family is not the Kashpaws, but the crazy white Adares. And whereas Love Medicine derived a great deal of its originality (and also, one fears, a portion of its critical success) from the fact that it chronicled the previously unexamined lives of American Indians, The Beet Queen uses the Chippewa stories only as it uses everything else - as supporting material in the creation of fascinating personalities. But The Beet Queen has a much tighter, firmer construction than its predecessor: it meanders less, moving decisively toward its chosen endpoint, with each scene carefully woven into the whole pattern. ![]() Like the first novel, this one is set in the Dakotas, and Chippewa Indians again form part of the cast. ![]() ![]() Like Love Medicine - which won awards from the National Book Critics Circle, The Los Angeles Times, and the American Academy of Arts and Letters - The Beet Queen is composed of a series of narratives representing the perspectives of the various characters (one of whom, Eli Kashpaw, appears in both novels). Moreover, the ways in which it is better, building as they do on the virtues of her first novel, give great promise for Erdrich's future accomplishments as a fiction writer. ADMIRERS OF Louise Erdrich's Love Medicine will be pleased to discover that her new novel, The Beet Queen, is even better. ![]() ![]() ![]() Film critic and historian Troy Howarth stated it was unclear how much if anything of Buñuel's writing was included in the finished film. Among the changes in the story from the original material was the relationship between Roderick and his sister which was changed to man and wife in the film. Following an argument with Epstein about his interpretation of the material, Buñuel left the production. The film was Buñuel's second film credit, he having previously worked as an assistant director on Epstein's film Mauprat. The Fall in the House of Usher was written by Luis Buñuel and Jean Epstein.

Many thanks to Titan for the ARC! All opinions are my own. ![]() I was kindly granted an advance copy in exchange for an honest review. ![]() ![]() This is a brilliant and unputdownable novel. When citizens become the playthings of politics and puppetry, Tyll, in his demonic grace and his thirst for freedom, is the very spirit of rebellion - a cork in water, a laugh in the dark, a hero for all time. With macabre humour and moving humanity, Daniel Kehlmann lifts this legend from medieval German folklore and enters him on the stage of the Thirty Years' War. ![]() ![]() Between the quests of fat counts, witch-hunters and scheming queens, Tyll dances his mocking fugue exposing the folly of kings and the wisdom of fools.

Lavish royalty-themed period dramas often work out well for Netflix, after all. The trials and tribulations of the young 'Sisi' (or 'Sissi' depending on who you ask) in the heart of the Habsburg empire have long been a popular topic in Austrian and German history, thanks to the soap-like ups and downs (mostly downs, sadly) of her life.Īnd guess what?
