Possessing neither academic title nor graduate degree, she found the writing life difficult due not out of a lack of credentials but due to gender.

She complains about the fact that the murderers have only been imprisoned and thus are still alive, a punishment she finds unsatisfactory. ![]() This makes his mother anxious, as she curses the invention of knives and anything that “can cut a man’s body.” Going on in this manner, she reminisces about the death of the Bridegroom’s father and brother, both of whom were murdered by members of the Felix family. ![]() A young man referred to simply as the Bridegroom enters his home and tells his mother that he’s going out to their vineyard to cut grapes. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The novel follows Kerry Salter as she careens into her rural New South Wales home town on a stolen motorbike to see her grandfather.

Too Much Lip was also shortlisted for the 2019 Stella prize. Her writing is as varied as her characters for whom identity is never singular or simple. Lucashenko evokes a sense of deep recognition of this country’s language, landscape and place with her prose. More than anything, as a white lady from North Queensland, this story is both for me and not. It is both literary and pulp fiction, high culture and low. Lucashenko is writing what can be described as the postmodern Indigenous Australian novel, and Too Much Lip will appeal broadly to readers of Australian fiction, smart and politically minded rural and romance titles, and Indigenous fiction. But the stakes change, and Kerry finds herself fighting to save her family’s land, burial grounds, history and connection to home. After an armed robbery gone awry, Kerry returns to her hometown to say farewell to her dying Pop. ![]() ![]() Central to the novel are themes of rage, incarceration, and generational trauma.

For Skyler Miller, Manhattan is a cage that keeps her from the world beyond the city's borders.

Opinion makers in the media, politics, and academia who want to join the conversation about Mormons will be well prepared by this brisk and rigorous overview, and I imagine many keeping a heavily Post-It-noted copy near at hand in the coming months and years. Who’s TARDIS or Mary Poppins’ carpet bag. ![]() Including every relevant moment from the boy Joseph’s leg operation to Twilight, and from suffragist Emmeline Wells to Broadway’s Elder Price, all in a slim 253 pages (plus several appendices), Bowman works a space-packing miracle reminiscent of Dr. ![]() Hallelujah!

And I should get it f***ing embroidered on a pillow or f***ing put a poster over there or something because the vast majority of you are great, but man, things on the internet do not scale." With the kind of following Rothfuss has on social media, he said he consistently hears negative things, and it can add up quickly.
