Book after rule of wolves5/21/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Whilst King of Scarsis a brand new story, so can be read separately, it’s best to read the other books in the Grishaverse first, starting with book one Shadow and Bone. The story follows young king Nikolai Lantsov as he tries to rebuild Ravka and fight the dark magic within him. The King of Scars books pick up back in Ravka, one year after the end of the Six of Crows series. And I still can’t get over Zoya as a dragon It was the first line of the next chapter where they just jump to his funeral that I was deceased. I agree Hanne x Nina seemed fast and I wasn’t excepting the Crows’ cameos at all.

How Should a Person Be? by Sheila Heti5/21/2023 ![]() ![]() How Should a Person Be?’s deft, picaresque construction, which lightly-but-devastatingly parodies the mores of Toronto’s art scene, has more in common with Don Quixote than with Lena Dunham’s HBO series Girls or the fatuous blogs and social media it will, due to its use of constructed reality, inevitably be compared with. ![]() I do not think this novel knows everything, but Sheila Heti does know something about how many of us, right now, experience the world, and she has gotten that knowledge down on paper, in a form unlike any other novel I can think of. Heti sees the silliness in the desire for fame that drives such fare, but she also knows that same desire is involved in the impulse to make art. More broadly, though, the novel shares with much reality television a kind of episodic aimlessness, and a focus on young, self-involved characters who spend a lot of time thinking about how they look to other people. ![]() But her far more egregious and unusual failing is her utter susceptibility to the ideas and desires of others. Her occasional delusions of grandeur are familiar, perhaps. Sheila herself can be fairly ridiculous, but not in the manner typical of a comic novel’s bumbling protagonist. Sheila has an intense, sporadic and submissive sexual affair with an artist named Israel. ![]() She speaks with that questing and ingenuous tone throughout the book, but neither the novel nor its heroine is precious or naïve. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() It was these concepts that captured the attention of the contributing editors at Cultural Anthropology who participated in this second annual Bateson Book Forum. As the jury noted in announcing Tsing’s book as the winner of the 2016 Gregory Bateson Prize, The Mushroom at the End of the World is “an open-ended polyphonic assemblage that performs in writing the very concepts it generates.” One of the most exciting aspects of Tsing’s work is how she artfully composes the narrative of the book, weaving concepts through short chapters and sections in a way that highlights how knowledge is being assembled in our contemporary world. ![]() She describes the way these forms of life create new forms of living, new entanglements, and new temporalities. She is concerned with the mythmaking and haunting that occurs in surprising ways among those engaged in forms of informal, precarious labor. In doing so, she tells stories of science and history, gifts and commodities, as well as freedoms and futures after progress. She focuses the reader’s attention on collaboration in sites on the margins of the globalized world. Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing’s beautifully written ethnography The Mushroom at the End of the Worldevokes the forms of life that emerge in the ruins and fissures-the latent commons-of contemporary capitalism. ![]()
