Squash’s Book Roundup of 2022

-The Man Who Would Be King and other stories by Rudyard Kipling -Futz by Rochelle Owens -The Threepenny Opera by Bertolt Brecht -Funeral Rites by Jean Genet -The Grip of It by Jac Jemc -Jules et Jim by Henri-Pierre Roche -Hashish, Wine, Opium by Charles Baudelaire and Theophile Gautier -The Blacks: a clown show by Jean Genet -One, No One, One Hundred Thousand by Luigi Pirandello -Cain’s Book by Alexander Trocchi -The Man with the Golden Arm by Nelson Algren -Three-Line Novels (Illustrated) by Felix Feneon, Illustrated by Joanna Neborsky -Black Box Thrillers: Four Novels (They Shoot Horses Don’t They, Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye, No Pockets in a Shroud, I Should Have Stayed Home) by Horace McCoy -The Dictionary of Accepted Ideas by Gustave Flaubert -The Chairs by Eugene Ionesco -Illusions by Richard Bach -Mole People by Jennifer Toth -The Rainbow Stories by William T Vollmann -Tell Me Everything by Erika Krouse -Equus by Peter Shaffer (reread) -Ghosty Men by Franz Lidz -A Happy Death by Albert Camus -Six Miles to Roadside Business by Michael Doane -Envy by Yury Olesha -The Day of the Locust by Nathaniel West -Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche -The Riddle of the Labyrinth: The Quest to Crack an Ancient Code by Margalit Fox -The Cat Inside by William S Burroughs -Under The Volcano by Malcolm Lowry -Camino Real by Tennessee Williams (reread) -The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner by James Hogg -The Quick & The Dead by Joy Williams -Comemadre by Roque Larraquy -The Zoo Story by Edward Albee -The Bridge by Hart Crane -A Likely Lad by Peter Doherty -The Stranger in the Woods: The Extraordinary Story of the Last True Hermit by Michael Finkel -The Law In Shambles by Thomas Geoghegan -The Anti-Christ by Friedrich Nietzche -The Maids and Deathwatch by Jean Genet -Intimate Journals by Charles Baudelaire -The Screens by Jean Genet -Inferno by Dante Alighieri (reread) -The Quarry by Friedrich Durrenmatt -A Season In Hell by Arthur Rimbaud (reread) -Destruction Was My Beatrice: Dada and the Unmaking of the Twentieth Century by Jed Rasula -Pere Ubu by Alfred Jarry -Bitter Fame: A Life of Sylvia Plath by Anne Stevenson -Loot by Joe Orton -Julia And The Bazooka and other stories by Anna Kavan -The Haunting of Lin-Manuel Miranda by Ishmael Reed -If You Were There: Missing People and the Marks They Leave Behind by Francisco Garcia -Detransition, Baby by Torrey Peters -Indelicacy by Amina Cain -Withdrawn Traces by Sara Hawys Roberts (an unfortunate but necessary reread) -Sarah by JT LeRoy (reread) -How Lucky by Will Leitch -Gyo by Junji Ito (reread) -Joe Gould’s Teeth by Jill Lepore -Saint Glinglin by Raymond Queneau -Bakkai by Anne Carson -Reflections in a Golden Eye by Carson McCullers -McGlue by Ottessa Moshfegh -Moby Dick by Herman Melville -The Hour of the Star by Clarice Lispector -In the Forests of the Night by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes (reread from childhood) -Chicago: City on the Make by Nelson Algren -The Medium is the Massage by Malcolm McLuhan

~Superlatives And Thoughts~

Fiction books read: 48 Non-fiction books read: 20

Favorite book: This is so hard! I almost want to three-way tie it between Under The Volcano, The Quick & The Dead, and The Man With The Golden Arm, but I’m not going to. I think my favorite is Under The Volcano by Malcolm Lowry. It’s an absolutely beautiful book with such intense descriptions. The way that it illustrates the vastly different emotional and mental states of its three main characters reminded me of another favorite, Sometimes A Great Notion by Ken Kesey. Lowry is amazing at leaving narrative breadcrumbs, letting the reader find their way through the emotional tangle he’s recording. The way he writes the erratic, confused, crumbling inner monologue of the main character as he grows more and more ill was my favorite part.

Least favorite book: I’d say Withdrawn Traces, but it’s a reread, so I think I’ll have to go with Detransition, Baby by Torrey Peters. I dedicated a whole long post to it already, so I’ll just say that the concept of the book is great. I loved the whole idea of it. But the execution was awful. It’s like the exact opposite of Under The Volcano. The characters didn’t feel like real people, which would have been fine if the book was one written in that kind of surreal or artistic style where characters aren’t expected to speak like everyday people. But the narrative style as well as much of the dialogue was attempting realism, so the lack of realistic humanity of the characters was a big problem. The book didn’t ever give the reader the benefit of the doubt regarding their ability to infer or empathize or figure things out for themselves. Every character’s emotion and reaction was fully explained as it happened, rather than leaving the reader some breathing space to watch characters act or talk and slowly understand what’s going on between them. Points for unique idea and queer literature about actual adults, but massive deduction for the poor execution.

Unexpected/surprising book: The Riddle of the Labyrinth: The Quest to Crack an Ancient Code by Margalit Fox. This is the first book about archaeology I’ve ever read. I picked it up as I was shelving at work, read the inner flap to make sure it was going to the right spot, and then ended up reading the whole thing. It was a fascinating look at the decades-long attempt to crack the ancient Linear B script, the challenges faced by people who tried and the various theories about its origin and what kind of a language/script it was. The book was really engaging, the author was clearly very passionate and emotional about her subjects and it made the whole thing both fascinating and fun to read. And I learned a bunch of new things about history and linguistics and archaeology!

Most fun book: How Lucky by Will Leitch. It was literally just a Fun Book. The main character is a quadriplegic man who witnesses what he thinks is a kidnapping. Because he a wheelchair user and also can’t talk except through typing with one hand, his attempts to figure out and relay to police what he’s seen are hindered, even with the help of his aid and his best friend. But he’s determined to find out what happened and save the victim of the kidnapping. It’s just a fun book, an adventure, the narrative voice is energetic and good-natured and it doesn’t go deeply into symbolism or philosophy or anything.

Book that taught me the most: Destruction Was My Beatrice by Jed Rasula. This book probably isn’t for everyone, but I love Dadaism, so this book was absolutely for me. I had a basic knowledge of the Dadaist art movement before, but I learned so much, and gained a few new favorite artists as well as a lot of general knowledge about the Dada movement and its offshoots and members and context and all sorts of cool stuff.

Most interesting/thought provoking book: Moby Dick by Herman Melville. I annotated my copy like crazy. I never had to read it in school, but I had a blast finally reading it now. There’s just so much going on in it, symbolically and narratively. I think I almost consider it the first Modernist novel, because it felt more Modernist than Romantic to me. I had to do so much googling while reading it because there are so many obscure biblical references that are clear symbolism, and my bible knowledge is severely lacking. This book gave me a lot of thoughts about narrative and the construction of the story, the mechanic of a narrator that’s not supposed to be omniscient but still kind of is, and so many other things. I really love Moby Dick, and I kind of already want to reread it.

Other thoughts/Books I want to mention but don’t have superlatives for: Funeral Rites was the best book by Jean Genet, which I was not expecting compared to how much I loved his other works. It would be hard for me to describe exactly why I liked this one so much to people who don’t know his style and his weird literary tics, because it really is a compounding of all those weird passions and ideals and personal symbols he had, but I really loved it. Reading The Grip Of It by Jac Jemc taught me that House Of Leaves has ruined me for any other horror novel that is specifically environmental. It wasn’t a bad book, just nothing can surpass House Of Leaves for horror novels about buildings. The Man With The Golden Arm by Nelson Algren was absolutely beautiful. I went in expecting a Maltese Falcon-type noir and instead I got a novel that was basically poetry about characters who were flawed and fucked up and sad but totally lovable. Plus it takes place only a few blocks from my workplace! The Rainbow Stories by William T Vollmann was amazing and I totally love his style. I think out of all the stories in that book my favorite was probably The Blue Yonder, the piece about the murderer with a sort of split personality. Scintillant Orange with all its biblical references and weird modernization of bible stories was a blast too. The Quick & The Dead by Joy Williams was amazing and one of my favorites this year. It’s sort of surreal, a deliberately weird novel about three weird girls without mothers. I loved the way Williams plays with her characters like a cat with a mouse, introducing them just to mess with them and then tossing them away -- but always with some sort of odd symbolic intent. All the adult characters talk and act more like teens and all the teenage characters talk and act like adults. It’s a really interesting exploration of the ways to process grief and change and growing up, all with the weirdest characters. Joe Gould’s Teeth was an amazing book, totally fascinating. One of our regulars at work suggested it to me, and he was totally right in saying it was a really cool book. It’s a biography of Joe Gould, a New York author who was acquaintances with EE Cummings and Ezra Pound, among others, who said he was writing an “oral history of our time.” Lepore investigates his life, the (non)existence of said oral history, and Gould’s obsession with a Harlem artist that affected his views of race, culture, and what he said he wanted to write. McGlue by Ottessa Moshfegh was so good, although I only read it because 3 out of my other 5 coworkers had read it and they convinced me to. I had read a bunch of negative reviews of Moshfegh’s other book, so I went in a bit skeptical, but I ended up really enjoying McGlue. The whole time I read it, it did feel a bit like I was reading Les Miserables fanfiction, partly from the literary style and partly just from the traits of the main character. But I did really enjoy it, and the ending was really lovely. In terms of literature that’s extremely unique in style, The Hour Of The Star by Clarice Lispector is probably top of the list this year. Her writing is amazing and so bizarre. It’s almost childlike but also so observant and philosophical, and the intellectual and metaphorical leaps she makes are so fascinating. I read her short piece The Egg And The Chicken a few months ago at the urging of my coworker, and thought it was so cool, and this little novel continues in that same vein of bizarre, charming, half-philosophical and half-mundane (but also totally not mundane at all) musings.

I'm still in the middle of reading The Commitments by Roddy Doyle (my lunch break book) and The Hero With A Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell, but I'm not going to finish either by the end of the year, so I'm leaving them off the official list.

"Your children's mother, You see won and afflicted,

Made sad by you, And proscribed by you.

You know how once I loved you, cruel one,

Once I was dear to you, cruel one!

I am alone here, without love, driven away..."- Medea by Cherubini, English Translation

“What I did not know was that I had hit upon a truth of womanhood: However blameless the life we lead, the passions and the greed of men could bring us to ruin, and there was nothing we could do.”- Jennifer Saint, Ariadne.

My husband fingered another woman against a tree.

I saw it. I saw it from my window. I watched them like God watches us all.

What little breath I already had was knocked out. I blinked. Wondering if this was a dream. A bad one. And I would wake up again. Maybe I would wake up and feel him next to me. To feel strength in my legs, hunger in my stomach, the fresh air in my lungs, and the chatter of the children and the dog yelping from outside. That I would turn over and see him smile, pat my hair, and sleepily say “Good morning, my Stella, my star.”

Their moans and releases were silent. But I felt as if I could detect the rumble of them like an animal feels the rumble of the floor of an approaching predator.

Perhaps I should have stopped them. But what could I do? Slam the window, yell with my weak lungs? And even if I could, by the time I looked it was too late.

Perhaps it wasn’t him. The man who did that very act to me on our wedding night. It wasn’t the man who swore to love me. The man who promised to forsake all others, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer until death did us part. The man who weekly went to the pulpit to preach of The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. The man who preached studied and discussed the Ten Commandments, including the seventh one. The man who fathered my children. He was downstairs writing his sermon or drinking coffee. It couldn’t be it couldn’t be it couldn’t be it couldn’t be it couldn’t be.

I saw on his head the same hair as my two sons.

No, our two sons.

There was no denying it was him. And there was no denying what they were doing. Pleasuring her. Her. Her. Her. And I could see her mouthing the pucker and the slight drop of the jaw to create his name silently-

William. William. William.

I walked carefully to the wall, hiding. Maybe it was a vision. I looked at the blank brown of the attic, and then back again. To the light where dust fell as snow.

They were still there. And still making love. Trading our wedding bed, soft, carefully carved from the local carpenter as a gift of thanks to his minister on his wedding day, with sheets washed on Thursdays for some ancient, dirty, sharp oak among the thorns, branches, leaves, and snakes.

They never noticed me. And they might tell you they never noticed me.

But I saw them.

I am so sorry. I do not normally speak like this. Speak of such lewd, unspeakable things. What must you think of me? I fear you think I am some base thing. That this is a tale of forbidden desire and lust fulfilled in a moment of passion.

This is not that story. If you think it will be that you are mistaken.

Leave and fulfill your desire to be The Woman somewhere else.

Everyone wishes to be her. They wish to be the glamorous mistress whose beauty led a man away from the bed of his plain, boring, dumpy wife. They don't want to be the wife. No one wants to be. They don't wish to speak of me. People do not wish to acknowledge me. Or tell my story. They don't want to see themselves as me. Dull Stella. Frumpy Stella. Scorned Stella. Plain Stella. Passive Stella. Poor Stella. Unwanted Stella. Undesired Stella. Rejected Stella. Betrayed Stella. So they never speak of me. They don't want to see themselves in my position. They don't want to imagine that the ones they love most might betray them for another. They'd rather be the darling who men obsess over to break their holy oaths.

And yet it still happens.

I tell you this because before my story begins, you must know that this will happen. Because it was the most painful moment of my whole life. I must tell it now or I will be overcome with my own heartbreak as I recall the happy years of my marriage with William to recount it.

This is mine. Not The Woman against the tree. The one who was left watching. The wife who was left behind. Mine. And I cannot remain silent. About that, or before, or after.

And it must be said, read, and listened to.

Friends with Kids or Bridesmaids?

YES FRIENDS WITH KIDS I HATE THAT MOVIE SO MUCH. It might be the most hated film on this list. I saw it in theaters and it caused so much rage. Like I think I took pleasure in Jennifer Westfeldt getting dumped by Jon Hamm I was so pissed I wasted two hours of life on that hateful trash.

1.) Star Wars - Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (Screenplay ripped off the book another movie on this list is adapted from (also ripped off a famous poster))

2.) My Fair Lady (Problematic musical I tried to write a think piece on last year and didn't finish)

3.) Gone With the Wind (Better female protagonist than anything that has come since)

4.) Metropolitan (A Christmas movie, sort of/90s Indie comedy)

5.) The Exorcist (Only horror film on this list)

6.) Jaws (Oh wait, there's another horror film. This one is more of a thriller. Honestly, they both are.)

7.) 90s social satire

8.) A Man For All Seasons (Saint biopic)

9.) Black comedy set in British Isles

10.) Lion King (Embarrassed that the final musical cue of this animated film still makes me cry)

Be-hated:

1.) Y Tu Mama Tambien (Mexican art house film with un-simulated sex scenes that I had to watch for film school)

2.) Friends With Kids (Most profoundly anti-family child hating movie I've ever seen (lots of SNL alums))

3.) The Last Jedi (Destroyed beloved franchise for half a decade)

4.) Superbad (Vulgar sex comedy from the 2000s I'm convinced no woman could ever like, just from the animated title sequence)

5.) The Proposal (Romantic comedy I saw on my 20th birthday I'm still mad about that has a dumb scene where the main couple falls on top of each other naked in the bathroom)

6.) Undergrad film class required arthouse flick that in retrospect feels like it should have come with a trigger warning for how graphic it was (un-simulated sex is apparently a theme on this list for me)

7.) The Wind Rises (Beautifully made animated feature with ponderous plot and really offensive white-washing of a world war)

8.) Mrs. Doubtfire (All children of divorce hate this movie)

9.) Captain Marvel (Hailed as "ground-breaking" for its protagonist, was actually just a long boring ad for the air force. At least I didn't pay for the ticket)

10.) Moulin Rouge (Really irritating frantic editing juke-box musical whose director has never made a movie I enjoyed)

But another thing about Saint Laurent has grown to be more and more clear—There are tons of fake variations of their designer items to choose from! Counterfeiters have capitalized on the popularity with the label by developing counterfeit bags that appear just like the serious deal.

I was looking for a book about Ariadne and Dionysus and came across Jennifer Saint's Ariadne. Have you read it and is it worth buying it or its a modern retelling like Circe? 😅

Sadly and not surprisingly, it's like the Circe book.

What Saint did to Ariadne's story was awful. Sure, the whole Theseus leaving her was from Greek origin, but why is Dionysus such a... psychopath, in that book? Ariadne instead of living happily with him until she dies and he gifts her a literal crown of stars, like the folklore says, Saint makes her die in the most horrible and painful way possible because ✨fEmiNisM✨. The book doesn't "talk about women's situation back then" because for Zeus' sake, she was happy with Dionysus, why did Saint have to turn him into the Psychopath Male Antagonist Who Acts Horrible Towards Women™ just like Miller did with Odysseus.

Sorry if i sounded salty, but my favourite mythological figures have both been treated horribly by USAnians and, yeah, it sucks to see Odysseus and Dionysus treated like that, my poor guys.

And Ariadne, specially. Because we all know it's way more feminist to kill a woman in horrible ways instead of letting her be happy with a literal god ! Anyways no, i don't recommend it. Even people who don't care about sources think it's written pretty poorly, which is funny xD

#sorry if i ended up using your ask as a rant :(#just leave my guys ALONE #and let women be HAPPY #anti jennifer saint #she also wrote the Atalanta retelling #why the fuck would you need an Atalanta retelling ma'am 😭#AGAIN sorry if i sounded harsh. it's just so sad there's no modern adaptation of Dionysus and Ariadne #except whatever this book was #it's still funny to me that a girl gave it a 6/10 without knowing anything about mythology #answered #margaretartstuff

April Showers Book Tag

So I was thinking a lot about what to make a blog post on and I finally decided to do a book tag. Though it’s December and it’s cold, I just found this tag interesting so I don’t really mind doing it right now. I found the April Showers Book Tag on Zezee with Books blog, and it is created by Sabrina from Beyond the Book Reviews and Alexis from Mad for Books, Luv. And since I found this tag intriguing I decided to give it a shot. So without any further delays, here is the April Showers Book Tag.

Share a book with water on the cover.

This was harder than I initially thought but after going through my goodreads shelf I finally found The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan for this prompt. It has water on the cover, so it fits.

What’s a classic you’d like to curl up on the couch with?

For this I’ll go with Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier as it’s a gothic book and I love reading the gothic genre.

Share a scary book you would read during a rain storm.

This one is easy. I’ll go with Horrid by Katrina Leno as I love that book and would love to read it during a rain storm.

What’s a good book rec for rainy days?

This might be considered an old book but I would go with Private by Kate Brian. Something about an academic setting just appeals to me for rainy days.

What two characters would you like to spend a rainy day with?

For this I would go with Alice Wonder from the Insanity series by Cameron Jace and Rhoma Grace from the Zodiac series by Romina Russell.

Share a book that has blue on the cover.

I’ll be going with one of my favorite books and that is Lotus Effect by Trisha Wolfe for this prompt.

What book has a rainy setting at one point?

This was a hard prompt and I’m not exactly sure about my choice but as far as I can recall it does have a rainy setting and that book is Her Majesty’s Royal Coven by Juno Dawson and it’s also one of the books I really enjoyed.

What book would you not mind using as an umbrella?

For this I’ll easily go with The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood. I just can’t stand this book and would gladly give it up.

Which character would you like to share an umbrella with?

For this prompt I’ll go with Dare from Even If It Hurts by Sam Mariano. Though he’s an anti-hero, I love him to bits and wouldn’t mind sharing at umbrella with him.

Share a novel with a dry beginning but amazing ending.

I think for this one I’ll go with Elektra by Jennifer Saint because I do recall an amazing ending but not much of the beginning.

And that’s it. This is my version of the April Showers Book Tag. I tag everyone who comes across this post and whoever is interested in doing it. I hope you enjoy doing this tag as much as I did.

'We will fight this': N.B. unions protest Bill 23 outside Labour Minister, MLA offices

Members of the New Brunswick Federation of Labour, its affiliate unions, and Unifor were seen protesting Bill 23 outside the office of Labour Minister Trevor Holder on Monday, as well as several other MLA offices across the province.

The bill enables government to employ scab labour, which often leads to longer, more frequent and contentious labour disputes.

In Moncton, about a dozen people were seen protesting outside MLA Ernie Steeves' office. Liberal MLA Rob McKee was a part of the group, saying he was there to show support to the unions.

Other groups were also planning protests Monday outside the offices of Progressive Conservative MLAs Arlene Dunn in Saint John and Jill Green in Fredericton.

"The labour movement will not sit quietly while Premier Blaine Higgs passes legislation that strips rights away from the hard-working people of this province," said Daniel Legere, the president of the New Brunswick Federation of Labour, in a news release.

Public and private-sector unions have been outspoken about Bill 23, including asking for the opportunity for a consultation, according to Jennifer Murray, the director of Unifor Atlantic Regional.

"The Higgs government wrote and passed Bill 23 without any consultation from labour. As expert negotiators and labour representatives, we are concerned this government does not understand the impacts this bill will have on labour relations in the province," said Murray.

"We will fight this and all anti-worker legislation."

The New Brunswick Federation of Labour is the central voice of organized labour in the province. It is made up of 19 affiliated unions, 336 locals and six district labour councils representing more than 40,000 workers across the province.

Unifor – Canada's largest union in the private sector – represents 315,000 workers in every major area of the economy.

The pattern is then chrome tanned to turn the natural materials inorganic, thus ensuring sturdiness.
