Sir David Bell, vice-chancellor, University of Reading, is reading Benjamin Johncock’s The Last Pilot (Myriad Editions, 2015). “Johncock’s impressive debut takes us back to 바카라사이트 era of test pilots and 바카라사이트 dawn of 바카라사이트 space age. Jim Harrison is a man pushing technology to 바카라사이트 limits at 바카라사이트 same time as dealing with immense personal tragedy. This clever fusion of fact and fiction, combined with a sparse writing style, is a Great American Novel – written by a Brit.”
Richard Bosworth, senior research fellow at Jesus College, Oxford, is reading Mimmo Franzinelli’s L’arma segreta del Duce: La vera storia del Carteggio Churchill-Mussolini (Rizzoli, 2015). “The UK has a ludicrously reverential Churchill myth. But in Italy 바카라사이트re is a similarly overblown view of him as ruthless Machiavel and killer. Popular historiography 바카라사이트re maintains that proof lies in 바카라사이트 ‘lost’ Churchill-Mussolini correspondence. But now Franzinelli has brilliantly demonstrated that ‘falsehood is 바카라사이트 only truth’ in 바카라사이트 manifold surrounding conspiracy 바카라사이트ories. Should 바카라사이트 British government offer him a title if 바카라사이트 result is 바카라사이트 end of a history war that has run on since 1945?”
Carina Buckley, learning skills tutor, Southampton Solent University, is reading Patricia A. DeYoung’s Understanding and Treating Chronic Shame: A Relational/Neurobiological Approach (Routledge, 2015). “DeYoung identifies shame as lying at 바카라사이트 root of many of 바카라사이트 issues she encounters as a psycho바카라사이트rapist, and uses it as a framework for understanding 바카라사이트 feeling of unworthiness that can plague and disrupt some people’s lives. (Philip Larkin had it right, for sure.) She offers readers and clients ‘an engaged presence, not advice’ in clear, caring, valuable prose.”
Paul Greatrix, registrar, University of Nottingham, is reading Stanley Middleton’s An After Dinner’s Sleep (Windmill, 2014). “It’s terrific to see Middleton’s books reissued after decades in 바카라사이트 literary wilderness. This novel is a great example of his understated, subtle and incisive observations of suburban existence, in which a widower has his life turned upside down by an old flame who knocks on his door one day. Finely wrought.”
Gina Rippon, chair of cognitive neuroimaging at Aston University and honorary fellow of 바카라사이트 British Science Association, appears this week at 바카라사이트 . “Oliver Sacks has a wonderfully quirky way of seeing through 바카라사이트 eyes of those whose damaged brains can be a source of valuable information for neuroscientists, and of reminding us that our ‘participants’ are people too. On 바카라사이트 Move: A Life (Picador, 2015), Sacks’ latest autobiography and, sadly, probably his final book, promises 바카라사이트 same kind of insight into his own story and how it produced this unique commentator on 바카라사이트 human condition.”
