The line that separates the two is ‘the line of despair’. It is, fundamentally, a book with one idea: philosophy from Aquinas onward has resulted in a de-coupling of the human understanding of man, the world and the universe (‘below the line’ in Schaeffer’s terminology) from questions of meaning, purpose and morals in human life (‘above the line’). As I have had some unexpected time on my hands I have just finished my re-reading of The God Who Is There and the two subsequent ones: Escape from Reason and He Is There and He Is Not Silent (see footnote). So, how does it read now? I was interested to see whether the book was still relevant fifty years after it was first published. Given that Schaeffer’s views and the book are part of the founding mythos of Sputnik I thought I should give it another read. It’s been over thirty years since I last read Francis Schaeffer’s The God Who Is There.

From 1905 to 1906, he studied civil engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Lofting was educated at Mount St Mary's College in Spinkhill, Derbyshire. His eldest brother, Hilary Lofting, later became a novelist in Australia, having emigrated there in 1915. Lofting, born January 14, 1886, in Maidenhead, Berkshire, to Elizabeth Agnes (Gannon) and John Brien Lofting, was of English and Irish ancestry. Lofting settled in the United States soon after the war and before his first book was published. The fictional physician to talking animals, based in an English village, first appeared in illustrated letters to his children which Lofting sent from British Army trenches in the First World War. Hugh John Lofting (14 January 1886 – 26 September 1947) was an English American writer trained as a civil engineer, who created the classic children's literature character Doctor Dolittle.

You only want to fuck, and you still have a big ass problem with leaving me hanging right after. That’s not what I meant…I meant that you and I no longer talk on the phone or email each other like we used to. I fucked you this morning, and from what I remember, I heard you loud and clear. Just emailing you to say hello since you haven’t reached out to me, and you haven’t heard from me in a while. But unfortunately, with my past slowly re-surfacing for all of the world to see, I’ll have to find a way to let her go. I’m drawn to her like I’ve never been drawn to a woman before–completely captivated by the very sight of her. I really wish she was someone else–someone who didn’t have the ability to make me feel, someone I could easily discard like the hundreds of women before her. She betrayed the one rule that I’m most adamant about: Honesty.

I understand that the different choices you make should lead you down interesting life paths, but it seems like it doesn't matter what choice you make, something horrible will happen to you.

I originally gave this book three stars, but when I picked the book up last night and tried reading a few more "lives," I wanted to throw it away. The favourite son of a wealthy family, employers to many of the community, Eli is also clever and considerate, good in bed, and – get this – he’s even willing to make his own breakfast in the mornings, a cause for consternation for Aki, whose traditional values will come to be tested over the course of an engaging, quietly provocative debut. I was acutely aware of every eye inspecting me for flaws." We first meet Aki, the 21-year-old protagonist of His Only Wife, on the morning of her wedding to Elikem Ganyo, a handsome, rich businessman who is, in Aki's hometown of Ho in Ghana, widely considered to be that most universal of terms: a total catch. "They deposited me in front of our two families. The translation’s spare and unornamented style takes no liberties with the original text. تفصيل ثانوي: رواية, or Minor Detail: A Novel, as it’s known in English, was translated from the Arabic by Elisabeth Jaquette, published in 2020, and longlisted for the 2021 International Booker Prize. In 2016, Adania Shibli published a short but densely filled work, a compact and intricate book detailing a particularly horrific but peripheral brutality committed by Israeli occupying forces in the Negev and the search to ascertain the exact details of this passing fact.

Evan and Kelsey from the first book even make a very small appearance. As the respective best friends of Ghost and Macy, there is a lot of page-time with them both individually, and as a couple and their moments together are gorgeous as always. In fact within the first 6% of the book they’re already at it!įor all of those Rock Me fans out there – yes, Brian and Candace are in this book – lots of Brian and Candace. This book carries on from that, and it absolutely blew me away! Soooo much hotness!! I swear I spent most of this book fanning myself at the hotness that is Ghost, and the insane hotness that is Ghost and Macy together. Ghost and Macy were introduced in Rock Me, and there was a hint of something happening between them then. This book follows on nicely from Unleashed and Rock Me, and in my opinion, is even better. But do you know what? I totally don’t care, because I ABSOLUTELY FREAKING LOVED IT! Two words for this one – HOT DAMN!!! At the risk of sounding totally lame, this book left me breathless. The public, argued this serious young American writer, pushing his owlish spectacles up his nose, had been short-changed - neglected! alienated! - by the flatulent windbaggery of the late-20th-century metafabulists: Barth, Gaddis, Pynchon, all that mob, and even the serious young American writer’s hero, Don DeLillo, to whom he had once been in thrall. From the fissure between the hifalutin literary world, with its noodly experiments in form and structure, and the humble book shopper, with her preference - so basic! - for old-fangled nonsense-like narrative and character development. A saviour from what? From the baroque perversions of postmodernism. Twenty-five years ago, a young American writer, very serious indeed, author of two precocious novels admired by critics but ignored by the so-called general reader (who is this shadowy figure?) announced, in an essay for Harper’s magazine, that his national literature was in need of a saviour. |
