![]() ![]() Semantic and cognitive dissonance are read as textual markers of the psychic (dis)location experienced by displaced subjects. I further argue that the novel goes beyond the idea of ‘transparent translation’- a visible layering of a translated subjectivity over a discrete original subjectivity – by privileging their inter-permeability. However, I argue against reading Darling’s journey from Zimbabwean shanty dweller to illegal immigrant in America as a linear progression from an original (located) to a translated (dislocated) subjectivity. ![]() Based on the premise that the movement of subjects from one social context to another is analogous to the translation of text from one language to another, this paper proposes a transitional mode of subjectification. NoViolet Bulawayo’s We Need New Names – shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and winner of the Etisalat Prize for Literature in 2013 – is a novel in which the leitmotif of (re)naming associates the trope of migration to the (dis)location and translation of subjectivities. ![]()

Both of our MC Sebastian and Oliver have had more than their share of challenges during life. Who We Are by Nicola Haken is a story about falling in love and riding out the waves of life.

The windows have been bricked over, the power is sporadic, and it’s populated by a cruel force which smashes furniture and possesses people. The house sports an impressive list of paranormal activities and an intense body count. ![]() Barrett, along with his wife, Edith, and two mediums (one active, Florence one repressed, Fischer) hopes to crack into and destroy the vicious power which animates Hell House. Like Hill House, Hell House features a scientific exploration into supernatural events. It’s over the top in a way that verges on camp, but for something to be campy, it ought to be a little funny and this isn’t. It’s suitably eerie, suspenseful, and intense, but it has a weird 1970’s pulp-porn component with an uncomfortable level of sexual violence and humiliation. What Dreams May Come is also decent (don’t quote me I read it too long ago to fully recommend now). ![]() I dropped the others on my list in its favor because Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend is, well, legendary.

He begins his research with diligence and enthusiasm, but soon the story leads him into a puzzle he never expected―back into his own work and what it means, back to the very core of what he does and who he is.ĭevil House is John Darnielle’s most ambitious work yet, a book that blurs the line between fact and fiction, that combines daring formal experimentation with a spellbinding tale of crime, writing, memory, and artistic obsession. Chandler finds himself in Milpitas, California, a small town whose name rings a bell––his closest childhood friend lived there, once upon a time. But now he is being offered the chance for the big break: to move into the house where a pair of briefly notorious murders occurred, apparently the work of disaffected teens during the Satanic Panic of the 1980s. Years later, he is a true crime writer, with one grisly success―and a movie adaptation―to his name, along with a series of subsequent less notable efforts. ![]() From John Darnielle, the New York Times bestselling author and the singer-songwriter of the Mountain Goats, comes an epic, gripping novel about murder, truth, and the dangers of storytelling. ![]() ![]() LONGLISTED FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR EXCELLENCE IN FICTION LONGLISTED FOR THE 2021 RATHBONES FOLIO PRIZE WINNER SUE KAUFMAN AWARD - AMERICAN ACADEMY OF ARTS AND LETTERSįINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD IN FICTIONįINALIST FOR THE L.A TIMES ART SEIDENBAUM AWARD FOR FIRST FICTIONįINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE JOHN LEONARD PRIZEįINALIST FOR THE LAMBDA AWARD FOR GAY FICTIONįINALIST FOR THE KIRKUS PRIZE FOR FICTIONįINALIST FOR THE CENTER FOR FICTION DEBUT NOVEL PRIZE WINNER FICTION DEBUT OF THE YEAR 2021 - BRITISH BOOK AWARDS ![]() WINNER BOOK OF THE YEAR 2021 - BRITISH BOOK AWARDS ![]() |
