"Sarah Kennedy writes that "Suzanne Keen's 'Milk Glass Mermaid' presents a world both dangerous and beautiful, one in which both chronology and topography are unexpectedly undermined by perception. Linked by a series of prose entries, these poem explore moments of domestic life to reveal the larger historical traces that lurk in the most quotidian details. A gas jet from an old furnace that is stamped with a swastika, an apple pie bein ..."

As well as identifying an unprecedented number of these novels and considering what they contain, M.O. Grenby investig ..."

"All of these estranging moves place obstacles in the way of empathy-seeking
novel-readers, who report with puzzlement their experience of not liking Anil very
much.13 I have already suggested that Ondaatje eschews the emotional effects
of a character-centered psychological novel in Anil's Ghost. Ondaatje also throws

Ghost has something in common. As Mar ..."
