It was also Bon Jovi’s first official concert since the pandemic started – they’d had to cancel a planned 2020 run – and it was clear they were very excited to finally play in front of a crowd.

They spoke just to move the plot along, not because they were dynamic, full characters. ![]() Dialogue for these characters was not done well. The characters, particularly Cora and Rick, were really one-dimensional. The buildup and background for the story was unique and interesting and really creative. ![]() I was unsure where the story was going – but I was certain that wherever it was going, it was gonna be a creepy, suspenseful trip.

These books defiantly ignore all creative writing advice and cheerfully tell and not show, abandon all sensible plot structure and introduce as many characters as they feel like, not really caring whether that whole cast is in any way necessary. Additionally, Knausgaard has happily joined the marketing circus, which is why I find Ferrante’s presumed exhibitionism a lot more palatable. The autobiographical component is official in case of Knausgaard and alleged in Ferrante’s. Personally, I find this whole mystery of little interest as I share her view that all that the author wants to say she should say in the book and there is no need for the entire marketing circus.įerrante’s Naples novels have been compared to Knausgaard’s magnum opus because both authors can be characterised by their hyperreal scrutiny which seemingly can only be achieved in autobiographical novels. No review of Ferrante’s book is complete without a mention of how no one knows who Ferrante is or even if she exists as an individual woman at all.

The note of sly suggestion, ‘if you can’, is followed up with another authorial caveat: ‘at the moment that my meditation opens, this room is throbbing with melodious sounds.’ ‘Meditation’, ‘if you can’, ‘imagine’: we already plunged into a world of fancy. ‘Imagine, if you can,’ he begins, ‘a small room, hexagonal in shape like the cell of a bee’. The critic Alan Wilde wrote in 1965 that the story is ‘too schematic, too fanciful (rather than fantastic), too didactic’.Īnd yet, if the story is ‘too fanciful’, Forster makes no effort to disguise it. It is ‘an Orwellian reaction to a Wellsian future with a curiously Kiplingesque ending’ (not to worry that Orwell was born in 1903, of course). Gransden commented that The Machine Stops was ‘the longest and most tedious of the stories’. It was mostly ignored for much of the twentieth century, or treated as a youthful folly, inferior to Forster’s early novels and even to his other short stories. ![]() Forster’s only science fiction-style short story, The Machine Stops, first published in 1909 in the Oxford and Cambridge Review, has had a rather quixotic critical afterlife. ![]() |
