Today I am sharing my thoughts on Halfway House by Helen Fitzgerald. @fitzhelen @OrendaBooks @RandomTTours #books #teamorenda #halfwayhouse #bookreview

Today I am delighted to share my thoughts on Halfway House, the latest darkly humorous novel from Helen Fitzgerald. I’ve really loved the variety in the author’s writing so couldn’t wait to see what she served up this time. I wasn’t disappointed. My thanks to publisher Orenda Books for the advance copy of the book. Here’s what it’s all about: Source: Advance Reader CopyRelease Date: 18 January…

i'm fundamentally opposed to book titles in translations of ancient epics ('beguilement on mount ida,' 'a hero's son awakens,' 'the olive tree bed,' 'camilla's finest hour,' 'juno served by a fury') bc it just seems like too much to me to presume you know what single thing the book is really about, but christopher logue is allowed to do it

#i have the collected volume but just bought the husbands (books 3-4) and yeah. he's right. that IS what books 3 and 4 are about #fitzgerald does call iliad 3 'dueling for a haunted lady' which is cool but the rest of his book titles suck #iliad 18 isn't 'the shield of achilles' and aeneid 8 isn't 'the shield of aeneas' there's a LOT more going on in both #even aeneid 5 isn't just REALLY about the funeral games (bc its also about the first punic war)#and all the more so with the homeric epics whose book divisions were not intentional and who had no author to focus on a single thing at on #titles are useful indicators of what the translator thinks the book is really about and what they think everything else is supporting tho #like does the translator think the embassy to evander is central and the shield a supporting detail or vice versa?#(aeneid translators are 50/50 on whether book 8 should be titled based on the shield or based on evander and the arcadians btw)#and like. does odyssey 4 take its title from menelaus' tale or helen's tale or do you call it 'the king and queen of sparta' or something #its really funny when translators try to do book titles with the metamorphoses though #'impious acts and exemplary lives'? 'of the ties that bind'?#those tell me nothing about what's even in the book let alone what the translator thinks the most important part is #(this is a not small part of the reason i have not gotten the new stephanie carter translation.#efforts to divide epic neatly even into the book divisions used by the author rub me the wrong way.#going beyond that and presuming to be able to say where one story ends and another begins... it's not for me)#mine

Florence Pugh has been cast in a series of historical roles already, but you know which is the one I would actually be very hyped for?

Helen Graham from The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. She has the beauty and the intensity and the low voice I always picture Helen as having.

#Florence Pugh #The Tenant of Wildfell Hall #Helen graham #fancasting #Like I know a lot of people never liked Tara Fitzgerald as Helen but she won me JUST because she nailed the voice and the attitude for me s #Also Florence's heaviness and earthiness were one of the things that made her Amy not work for me #Through no fault of her own she's brilliant and charismatic #It was just not a role made for her

Station Eleven Blu Ray release.

Looks like a placeholder image, but this seems to suggest a Blu Ray (And DVD) release pencilled in for October 18th.

Station Eleven was outstanding and got a lot of critical love, but it was also a HBO Max release. Given how expensive it must have been and the fact its weird release pattern made it hard for an audience to find, I strongly recommend considering picking up a physical release while you can. Mackenzie Davis' performance in it is incredible.

Bonus - Deleted Scenes!

inspo:

Books and doors are the same thing. You open them, and you go through into another world. – Jeanette Winterson

We read to know we are not alone. – C.S. Lewis

Reading is an exercise in empathy; an exercise in walking in someone else’s shoes for a while. – Malorie Blackman

Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. – Nora Ephron

We tell ourselves stories in order to live. – Joan Didion

That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you’re not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong. – F. Scott Fitzgerald

A story can always break into pieces while it sits inside a book on a shelf; and, decades after we have read it even twenty times, it can open us up, by cut or caress, to a new truth. – Andre Dubus

That’s the thing about books. They let you travel without moving your feet. – Jhumpa Lahiri

Books may well be the only true magic. – Alice Hoffman

Books can be dangerous. The best ones should be labelled 'This could change your life.' – Helen Exley

America's Sweetheart

Above: A scene from Mary Pickford’s 1922 film Tess of the Storm Country. (Library of Congress) In today’s celebrity-saturated culture it is difficult to find a parallel to silent film star Mary Pickford, who was dubbed Queen of the Movies more than a century ago. Indeed, during the 1910s and 1920s Pickford was regarded as the most famous woman in the world. April 7, 1934 cover by Rea…
