 | From Megan Romer, your About Books & Literature Editor It's spring! Which means, of course, that it's nearly summer. Almost. So close. Blink and we'll be there. In the spirit of living in the moment, though, let's check out some reviews of a couple of recent releases and some other literary news. | |
Review: 'Bird Cloud' by Annie Proulx
Most contemporary literature fans are familiar with Annie Proulx's work, most notably her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Shipping News and her short story Brokeback Mountain, which became an Oscar-winning film. With this new memoir Bird Cloud, we get to know Proulx herself, though, for better or for worse. (Mostly for better.)
| Review: 'Lucy' by Laurence Gonzales
If you're looking for some new science fiction, see if this piques your interest: Lucy is a teenage girl who is half-human, half-ape, created in the lab by a mad scientist father, who dies and leaves her all alone. Lucy is fast-paced and thrilling, and though not necessarily Pulitzer material, it's a fun read.
| Read 'Jane Eyre'
Now that a new film adaptation of Jane Eyre has hit theatres (read our review of the movie), it's about time you brush up. Save yourself digging through your old stack of paperbacks from college and read it right here, online!
