In Cold Domain by Anne Fine5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() I thought it was about time for another update on how my Iris Murdoch and Book Groups project is going. The story of the marriage adds an extra dimension which means it would attract people who are more interested in human interest and relationships. This book would appeal to people who like reading about exactly what it’s like to live in a new country, or a particular country, as well as those interested in aid and development. I found very few typos in this small press offering, by the way, which was refreshing. I’d have liked a bit more detail and context (this is because it was a good read and I wanted more!), as well as some photographs or drawings and amybe a what happened next section for all of the characters we meet. Interesting and honest, although short, and the sections were a little abrupt and disjointed. Two years in Bhutan described by an Australian man, with a mix of life there as a rare Westerner and the effects of and on his rather hasty marriage to a French aid worker that allows him to be with her and stay in the country.

Tribe called quest book5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Abdurraqib’s recently released book, Go Ahead In the Rain: Notes To A Tribe Called Quest, does provide a history of the revolutionary rap group, but more importantly it’s a memoir of listening and feeling, a deeply personal book unafraid to pair music criticism with intimate reflections.Ī Tribe Called Quest debuted in 1990 with the album People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm, an eclectic layering of samples produced by the group’s de facto leader, Q-Tip, and rhymed over with quirky stories and confident punch lines. Hanif Abdurraqib claims that he “wasn’t interested in writing the definitive book on A Tribe Called Quest.” What he produced instead was much more powerful.
