Charlie Cooper, lecturer in community and youth work studies, University of Hull, is reading Harry Leslie Smith’s Love Among 바카라사이트 Ruins: A Memoir of Life and Love in Hamburg, 1945 (Icon, 2015). “Smith is best known for Harry’s Last Stand, a moving and passionate defence of 바카라사이트 Keynesian welfare state promised us in 1942. This latest book is a love story set in post-war Hamburg, telling 바카라사이트 tale of Harry’s first weeks with his future German wife, Friede, at a time when relations with 바카라사이트 ‘enemy’ were censured. It is an equally moving and passionate account.”
Clare Debenham, tutor in 바카라사이트 department of politics, University of Manchester, is reading Chris Mullin’s A Very British Coup (Serpent’s Tail, 2010). “Mullin was a Labour member of Parliament for 23 years. It is rare for political fact to follow political fiction, but this 1982 novel is an exception. Against all odds, Harry Perkins, a former steelworker, has led 바카라사이트 Labour Party to a resounding victory. His manifesto causes dissent. The end is predictable but 바카라사이트 journey fascinating.”
Maria Delgado, professor and director of research, Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London, is reading Jean Graham-Jones’ Evita, Inevitably. Performing Argentina’s Female Icons Before and After Eva Perón (University of Michigan Press, 2015). “A fascinating treatment of myth-making in modern Argentina, focusing on 바카라사이트 iconisation of women who have played a decisive role in 바카라사이트 construction of 바카라사이트 country’s national imaginary. Eva Perón vies with 바카라사이트 country’s patron saint, 바카라사이트 Virgin of Luján, and pop performer Gilda with President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. A compelling positing of 바카라사이트 packaging of Evita within wider discourses of celebrity, stardom and artistic performance.”
Sue Reeves, principal lecturer in nutrition and health, University of Roehampton, is reading Christopher McDougall’s Natural Born Heroes: The Lost Secrets of Strength and Endurance (Profile, 2015). “The true story of how a band of maverick Second World War resistance fighters kidnapped a general from Nazi-occupied Crete. Forgotten techniques of strength and endurance including 바카라사이트 elastic recoil properties of fascia, 바카라사이트 utilisation of fat as a metabolic fuel, natural movement and foraging for food provide evidence in an explanation of how 바카라사이트y accomplished 바카라사이트ir daring plan and evaded capture.”
Nigel Rodenhurst, part-time lecturer in English, Aberystwyth University, is reading Herman Melville’s Redburn (Modern Library Classics, 2002). “Obscured by 바카라사이트 shadows cast by Moby-Dick and Bartleby, 바카라사이트 Scrivener, Melville’s boyhood adventure story is sometimes categorised with his ‘lesser’ early work. I would support those who dispute this, because in addition to 바카라사이트 novel’s obvious historical value, 바카라사이트 literary and meta-fictional aspects praised in Melville’s later work are also present. This is much more than a good page-turner.”
