![]() ![]() En route, he imagines what this fellow sasquatch might be like, alternating between being apprehensive and excited. ![]() One thin disguise (short pants, a red scarf, and a beret) later, Larf is on his way. After some careful deliberation, he decides he cannot pass up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. One morning, Larf is shocked to read in the newspaper that another sasquatch is scheduled to make an appearance in a city near him. For the most part, he's happy with his solitary life, but sometimes he longs to meet someone who understands him. As the general public tends to be alarmed by sasquatches, he has wisely chosen to live a quiet life in the woods with his little bug-eyed bunny, Eric. Larf is a hairy, seven foot tall sasquatch. Only then did we settle down to read the book. ![]() Then we made up some rhymes, because Larf obviously rhymes with some other funny words. Even before we opened the book, we had a good laugh at the name Larf. The cover on this one makes it very apparent this is a winner. ![]()

One begins to wonder whether Carr is mourning the death of the author, the end of narratives and all that, and using neuroscience to vindicate his grieving. While he points out that he was an early adopter who spent all his savings on a Macintosh SE, he seems more comfortable with digital devices that help him with analogue tasks (such as word processing) than entirely new digital forms, such as Facebook. The internet has too many distracting flashing lights it's a bit noisy. Unsurprisingly, Carr comes across as someone who is uncomfortable with change. And as the internet remoulds and rewires the brain in its image, the old book-reading circuits fall out of use and wither. ![]() The latest neuroscience says that our grey matter is malleable and plastic. We stop reading novels, and before we know it, "the linear, literary mind" becomes "yesterday's mind".Ĭarr puts together an informative history of brain science to back up his argument. Nicholas Carr is the author of The Shallows, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, The Glass Cage, and Utopia is Creepy. Soon all our brains want to do is click and flick. The web encourages us to click and flick. But, he says, it has altered the way our minds work. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() While there, Stark charted the first accurate maps of the region. There she found the castle ruins covered with wild tulips and surrounded by breathtaking views of the Elbruz Mountains. Intrepid and indefatigable, she found a guide to lead her across the empty Persian plains and crested mountain ranges (Stark leaping like a mountain goat while her guide huffed behind) into the practically impregnable valley. (The founder of the cult inspired his recruits to murder through the use of hashish, hence their name Hashishin, from which we get assassin.) There was only one problem: she couldn't find the valley on her map. With her fascination for secret Islamic societies, she resolved to travel to the former home of the Cult of the Assassins and locate an ancient fortress described by Marco Polo. ![]() At the age of 37, Stark shocked her fellow Brits by moving to Baghdad, befriending the locals, studying Arabic and the Koran, and then setting out on expeditions to remote and uncharted areas of the Islamic world by foot, donkey, camel, and car. First published in 1934, Freya Stark's classic tale of her travels through Persia has been reprinted once again and is just as much a gem now as when first published. ![]() ![]() ![]() Our arranged marriage connects two powerful companies.

But thanks to Zozie de l’Alba, a malignant free spirit with an appetite for other peoples’ lives, Vianne was finally forced to confront both her enemy and her fears. Living in Paris under an alias, with her daughter Anouk and another, four-year-old daughter, Rosette, Vianne seemed to have lost both her direction and her identity. In The Lollipop Shoes, we found Vianne four years on from the events described in Chocolat. ![]() I’m connected to all my characters, of course, but somehow Vianne Rocher is the one who keeps dropping in unexpectedly, embroiling me in her affairs (often against my better judgement) and demanding my time and attention. Even now, I’m not convinced that Vianne has entirely finished with me – there may be more about her some day (or indeed, about Anouk and Rosette) we are linked, she and I, in ways that I don’t always fully understand. ![]() ![]() But as I finished the book, I knew that what I’d done was worse than that I’d written the second instalment of what would be a trilogy. It isn’t always easy for a writer to revisit the characters they have created – time changes all of us, and sometimes it’s easier not to look back. As I was writing The Lollipop Shoes, I realized that I was creating a dangerous precedent. ![]() |
