Tracing humanity's modern fall to the very rationality that was to be its liberation, the authors exposed the domination and violence that underpin the Enlightenment project. Modernity, far from redeeming the promises and hopes of the Enlightenment, had resulted in a stultification of mankind and administered society, characterised by simulation and candy-floss entertainment. Dialectic of Enlightenment: Adorno & Horkheimer’s Work in 6 Parts. Written during the Second World War and circulated privately, it appeared in. Writing just after the Second World War and reflecting on the bureaucracy and myths of National Socialism and the inanity of the dawn of consumerism, Adorno and Horkheimer addressed themselves to a question which went to the very heart of the modern age: 'why mankind, instead of entering into a truly human condition, is sinking into a new kind of barbarism'.

Mirror (London) The book is a well-plotted examination of domestic violence, chasing unattainable dreams and hiding one's real self. The story, about a young woman downsizing her expectations in the wake of a tragedy, might not be new, but Palmer's handling of it is surprisingly fresh and engaging.

Also, while Bitter Falls can technically be enjoyed as a standalone, there’s still a lot in the main character’s background that will be referenced and it would be best to read the books in order, starting from the beginning. As a result, Bitter Falls might be my favorite installment yet.īut first, since this is the fourth volume in the series, I would advise against continuing with this review if you aren’t caught up and don’t want to be spoiled for the previous books. Publisher: Thomas & Mercer (January 21, 2020)Īfter the turning point at the end of the last book, I was afraid that the Stillhouse Lake series might start going down a different path and risk losing sight of what made these books great…but turns out I had nothing to worry about! Yes, there are some changes, but I felt they were all positive ones. This does not affect the contents of my review and all opinions are my own. I received a review copy from the publisher.

Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents best-selling author Stacey Lee's modern reimagining of a classic Chinese folktale-replete with magic, boba, and lots of trash talking. Kenny, Lucy, Clara, Howie and Maisie are Indigenous children taken away from their parents, and forced into an isolated residential school on the coast of British Columbia in the late 1960s. Not surprisingly I loved it, but I can’t say I was shocked by any of its contents, as someone who has been reading Indigenous literature for years, it included things I’ve been well aware of for over a decade. Not only that, my followers on social media have insisted this book is a must-read, so I finally purchased a copy a few weeks ago and read it over the course of three days. Five Little Indians by Michelle Good has been nominated or won virtually every Canadian literary award possible, and just last week won the the Canada Reads competition. But every so often I break out of this pattern and pick up a classic book that I’ve been dying to read, or in this case, a book that’s won so many awards, it feels simply wrong to have not read it by now. I won’t say my reading is influenced by awards, because it rarely is – quite often, my book choices depend on the themes I’ve come up with for my monthly radio segment, and the books that land on my doorstep for review.
