A surprisingly effective redux of a literary classic

London - Arab Today

Novels come and novels go, and every now and then an old novel will come again in a brand new guise. Respect or disdain for a work can lead to a creative spin-off in another hand, one which resurrects and reimagines the original. In the 18th century, Henry Fielding\'s An Apology for the Life of Mrs Shamela Andrews was a

Wonders of Life

London - Arab Today

What is Life? Where did it come from? Why does it end?

Sinan Antoon\'s second novel a compact masterpiece

$Arab Today, arab today Sinan Antoon\'s second novel a compact masterpiece$

New York - Arab Today

There exists an unwritten rule in book reviewing, one particularly adhered to in transatlantic publishing circles, which states that a critic should either say good things about a debut novel or nothing at all. A fair deal is not encouraged, it is required. The fledgling writer deserves a chance after enduring his or her long creative slog and sweating out

An Armenian Sketchbook full of endearing vignettes

London - Arab Today

The year 1961 finds the Soviet writer and journalist Vasily Grossman on a train to Yerevan, Armenia. Mentally and spiritually exhausted from the KGB\'s seizure of his novel Life and Fate, Grossman spends two months editing a Russian translation of a long Armenian novel, glad of the opportunity to travel to the country. However, as seen through the series of

London - Arab Today

About Harry Potter and the Philosopher\'s Stone When a letter arrives for unhappy but ordinary Harry Potter, a decade-old secret is revealed to him that apparently he\'s the last to know.

Crime novel sells out after JK Rowling revealed as author

New York - AFP

A detective novel secretly written by Harry Potter mastermind J.K. Rowling surged to the top of bestseller lists on Monday after the true identity of the author was revealed, embarrassing some publishers who had rejected the manuscript. An ex-military man tries his hand at writing, publishes a debut detective novel, and wins critical acclaim. But here’s the twist in the

Tao Lin\'s Taipei is a very modern romance

$Arab Today, arab today Tao Lin\'s Taipei is a very modern romance$

New York - Arab Today

Taipei is the latest example of what novelist David Foster Wallace called US citizens\' \"straight-line pursuing this flat and short-sighted idea of personal happiness\". Tao Lin\'s protagonists, through their extended socialising and pathological consumption of narcotics, seem desperate to be happy, but consistently fail. It is a sad, sometimes infuriating novel, heavily indebted to its predecessors - Wallace\'s work among

Russia releases manuscript of banned wartime classic

Moscow - AFP

Russia\'s security service on Thursday released from its secret archives the manuscript of a classic World War II novel described as the \"War and Peace\" of the 20th century, over 50 years after it was confiscated by the Soviet authorities. Vassily Grossman\'s epic novel \"Life and Fate\", completed in 1960, was banned in the Soviet Union until the late 1980s

Berlin - AFP

The publisher who bought the German rights to a novel for a song before learning that the author was Harry Potter writer J.K. Rowling said on Sunday it was eyeing a windfall. Munich-based Blanvalet Verlag snapped up the rights in February to \"The Cuckoo\'s Calling\", a purported debut novel by a certain Robert Galbraith about a private detective who investigates

A reference work for diehard, almost-deaf metalheads

London - Arab Today

It\'s a history book longer than most you\'ll find in any high school. In Louder Than Hell, Joe Wiederhorn and Katherine Turman have documented the heavy metal genre like no one before. Through collections of conversations and hundreds of interviews presented somewhat chronologically by subgenre, the authors delve deep into heavy metal, from its much-disputed beginnings and surprising influences, through

In Between Days shows fragility and strength of family unit

Houston - Arab Today

US writer Andrew Porter\'s debut novel is a moving portrait of an intensely dysfunctional family. Set in present day Houston, Texas, it concerns divorced couple Elson and Cadence. He was once one of the city\'s outstanding architects, but now is falling into the abyss of alcoholism. Meanwhile, his former wife is constantly pained with regret at giving up a promising

Note To Self\'s protagonist is the anti-Bridget Jones

$Arab Today, arab today Note To Self\'s protagonist is the anti-Bridget Jones$

London - Arab Today

I spent most of Alina Simone\'s debut novel Note to Self certain I had figured it out.But how could it be new media-based chick-lit if I liked it? Part of the credit goes to a parade of fresh lines as clever this one, following the end of a relationship that was never made formal: \"It would have been like challenging
