I really loved it too.
This is so beautifully done.
To be a part of making this kind of work must be amazing.
I read Green Unpleasant Land, and I have a copy of Our Island Stories that I will begin to read.
Your work, and the work of Peepal Tree, and this film, inspire my own efforts.
Thank you.

Late for #5amwritersclub 🌸💚🌸
Good idea!
Love that one.
I almost added a 🎶 to the post…
😅
Absolutely!
I love Cat Stevens
Hm, now I’m realizing, you’re right, Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin were both apparently a big an influence on their daughter Mary, although Mary was particularly obsessed with her father. So it must have been Mary’s own first baby who died after 10 days. Mary then lost two more… so tragic.
This seems to be one of the more recent interpretations and it has legs. She had recently lost her first baby before she wrote it. I’ve read that her own mother (Mary Wollstonecraft) died when Mary was only ten days old. Curious that the tale plays on the idea of MEN overreaching as to creation…

Emmanuel Damas, 56, died in ICE custody on Monday.
Damas came to the U.S. from Haiti seeking asylum. After six months in ICE custody—the last four at CoreCivic's Florence Correctional Center—he died from complications from a tooth infection.
A tooth infection.

Vivid mural and sky, a treat for the eye’
It would have good to listen in.
Big love for translators!
I don’t have that kind of skill.
😂
That’s so encouraging to hear. The chat surrounding the book itself is weighted with so much interpretation around abolition, modern technology, etc… before you even get the actual text. To approach it with a clear and open mind for all the foreknowledge is rewarding.
I admit I’ve only tried with Cassandra (trans. into English) but I want to try again!
know, I know, times are tough and money is short but as we find ourselves increasingly in a world where stories are censored and the corporates buy up shelf space with their discounts.

It appears to be the 1931 with an explanation of what little changed and why between the two. This page might help reinforce. It has a naked male on the cover so it gets marked as ‘adult content’ when you try to share thatI’
I think it is very likely to repay that effort. The Penguin Classics edition has a lot of biographical notes and an intro from Mary Shelley plus a preface from Percy Shelley. xx
Very best wishes, wish I was there!
Already looking forward to the quotes!
New on the blog today, I've written about THE STEPDAUGHTER by Caroline Blackwood.
A short, sharp shock of a novel where the reader bears witness to a stepmother’s unravelling and the impact of this nightmare on those who are under her care. #BookSky 💙📚

I've been watching this docudrama too. And my husband's work is in freshwater systems. It's horrific. Thames Water have been criminally negligent.
I'm only a little more than halfway through, but can see this is a very good point. The trial and execution of innocent and wonderful Justine Moritz is a perfect example of that. We barely know her but we learn what she suffers, for sure.
Translating across borders both literary and linguistic, we’re excited to welcome award-winning translator and novelist Kate Briggs to #DeptfordLitFest 📚️ for an in-conversation with writer and critic @jennifer_hodgson_
