![]() ![]() The author gives authenticity to the reality of some characters. The first paragraph of the book shows us the protagonist reaching Hamburgo, the city were The Beatles started their way to immortality. ![]() "Norwegian blues" is the original title of the book, a Beatle's song, interpretated in the book by the guitar of the music professor. Watanabe, the protagonist and narrator in first person, reads during part of the book "The Magic Mountain" by Thomas Mann, while he tries to climb that enchanted mount in a world that is too sad as for create this paradise. If to all this you add the suicide of your best friend, the loneliness, the beginning of the university life in a country such as competitive as Japan, we can find us with the absurd of a heart that beats the reason. Little space, non-stop noises, fulminating trains, polluting cars, endless skyscrapers and thousands neon lights bringing light to streets full of chimeras. Living in a city like Tokio must be complicated. ![]() ![]() ![]() Interestingly, I chose to read The Great Believers first from ‘my to read’ pile, as I thought it’d be a somewhat ‘lighter’ read than Christodora. So doesn’t it seem somewhat reductive to revisit the AIDS crisis, especially given recent classics like Christodora by Tim Murphy (2016)? There are incredible writers exploring new avenues for gay expression at present, particularly regarding issues of gender and heteronormativity. My other issue with the book before I began reading it was simply this: We have been there before, got the t-shirt and paid our dues. Yes, I know that is a value judgement in and of itself – actors regularly portray people and professions they know nothing about, so why should it be different with writers? Are we only guaranteed historical accuracy and emotional honesty if, say, an AIDS novel is written by a gay survivor? And if such a novel is written by an ‘outsider’, what legitimacy or authenticity does it have as a result? ![]() ![]() ![]() I think it was for this reason that I put aside reading The Great Believers for so long, as I simply resisted the idea that a ‘bells-and-whistles’ Big Novel about the height of the AIDS crisis in Chicago could be depicted with any degree of accuracy or empathy by a writer not even born at the time. The recent debate about American Dirt and cultural appropriation is one that has been going on for a long time. ![]() ![]() ![]() Although having some iron tools and weapons, these mostly illiterate peoples worked mainly in wood and never built in stone. The rest of Europe, meanwhile, was home to subsistence farmers living in small groups, dominated largely by Germanic speakers. The book's vivid narrative begins at the time of Christ, when the Mediterranean circle, newly united under the Romans, hosted a politically sophisticated, economically advanced, and culturally developed civilization-one with philosophy, banking, professional armies, literature, stunning architecture, even garbage collection. With sharp analytic insight, Peter Heather explores the dynamics of migration and social and economic interaction that changed two vastly different worlds-the undeveloped barbarian world and the sophisticated Roman Empire-into remarkably similar societies and states. Empires and Barbarians presents a fresh, provocative look at how a recognizable Europe came into being in the first millennium AD. ![]() ![]() ![]() "A Romeo and Juliet tale drenched in magic realism, The Night Circus defies both genres and expectations. ![]() When Celia calls their circus a 'wonder and comfort and mystery all together,' she could have been talking about this book."

It just so happens their friendship circles are one and the same, therefore not only are they forced to work next door to each other, they end up spending their downtime in each other’s company too. Then there’s Greer, the spirited, loud, bending the curriculum slightly to help her students gain a better understanding, grabs the bull by the horns, always looking on the bright side of life, sweetheart. Arlo, the straight laced, stuck up, doesn’t bend the curriculum, lives by the rules, chump (although under those cardigans, there’s a pretty ripped torso). ![]() Arlo is the Head of English at a prestigious high school, Greer is the newly qualified teacher on probation, and boy, do they wind each other up. ![]() All the characters were truly brought to life.
