![]() The heart of Christianity is a myth which is also a fact. “Now as myth transcends thought, Incarnation transcends myth. ![]() Lewis realized that what lay behind pagan mythology was one grand story being told and proclaimed by them all, and that story had been realized as historical fact in the life and work of Jesus Christ. Indeed, while this methodological point is one which many do not realize that Lewis held, it is central to Lewis’ own re-conversion to Christianity and the common belief Lewis shared with his friend and co-mythopoet, Tolkien. ![]() Thus, Lewis gives us in Till We Have Faces his theological ideals reworked so as to be placed under a completely pagan veil. By the time he wrote Till We Have Faces, he came to understand that the best way to reach modern humanity was not to bludgeon them with Christian symbolism, but to reach them from the common moral and religious heritage that Christians inherited from the pagans. This is not to say that Lewis in this work does not provide for us a Christian message he most certainly does. Lewis were telling the Christian message in a thinly-veiled allegory. ![]() ![]() Unlike The Chronicles of Narnia, one does not feel as if C.S.

Opening sentence: There are two methods, it seems to me, of approaching this strange business of the Pale Horse. Even better, it features one of my favourite Christie characters, enigmatic novelist, Ariadne Oliver. The Pale Horse came to my attention as I heard that it’s one of the only Agatha novels that dabbles in witchcraft and the supernatural. It’s been a while since I’ve read an Agatha Christie book, so it’s very fortunate that The Pale Horse is a good one. ![]() ![]() ![]() So Mika lives a solitary life with her dog, her koi pond, her funny social media videos, and her magic. The only time she sees other witches is the third Thursday every third month. Primrose has also drummed into her head that witches need to stay away from each other, it’s just safer that way. Because of a spell gone wrong hundreds of years ago witches can not bear children and if they do they will die shortly after, leaving those children orphans. Raised by a standoffish elder in the magic community, she moves around frequently, never putting down roots. ![]() A fabulously warm, positive woman who finds joy in the simple things in life even though she has not one person who she’s really close to or can depend on. It kind of reminded me of a cross between Practical Magic and Mary Poppins, taking the very best parts of each and mashing them together into a wonderful found family paranormal romance. This is probably the most charming book I’ve read in a good long while.

So what kind of novel is it? Long–just short of 600 pages, but highly readable. This might serve as a warning not to treat Utopia Avenue as mainly realist with a small dose of fantasy largely confined to a later section of the novel, which is what most reviews have done. As readers we frequently wonder which world we are inhabiting, a reaction fostered by Mitchell. Utopia Avenue is widely described as a realist novel. At the same time a number of reviewers have expressed reservations about his penchant for the supernatural and ask whether he has succumbed to a boyish fascination with benevolent and malevolent spirits at war with one another fighting with psychic weapons. He’s been called “clearly, a genius” ( New York Times Book Review), “a literary magician” ( Esquire), and “the most multi-talented.

His novel is a profound dissection of a character caught between desire and morality. Garth Greenwell's quiet but urgent style is superb and this, his debut, is stunning in every respect. With lyric intensity and startling eroticism, Garth Greenwell has created an indelible story about the ways in which our pasts and cultures, our scars and shames can shape who we are and determine how we love. ![]() What Belongs to You is a stunning debut novel of desire and its consequences. There are unnerving similarities between his past and the foreign country he finds himself in, a country whose geography and griefs he discovers as he learns more of Mitko's own narrative, his private history of illness, exploitation, and want. As he struggles to reconcile his longing with the anguish it creates, he's forced to grapple with his own fraught history, the world of his Southern childhood where to be queer was to be a pariah. ![]() He returns to Mitko again and again over the next few months, drawn by hunger and loneliness and risk, and finds himself ensnared in a relationship in which lust leads to mutual predation, and tenderness can transform into violence.

It is fun to see Matt Damon in a far different role to his usual tough guy/Jason Bourne personas and he does well at playing a family man who often doesn’t know what he’s doing. This isn’t high drama, the conflicts are cliché and the ending is predictable but it is an enjoyable albeit twee family movie. Although she does occasionally challenge Benjamin, she barely does anything more than give him a little nudge in the right direction. Kelly (Scarlett Johansson) is pleasant enough but has little to do other than be supportive. The zoo staff are likeable but mostly rather bland with the exception of the almost permanently drunk Scot, MacCreedy (Angus MacFadyen) who has no personality other than being intoxicated. Benjamin (Matt Damon) lost his wife some months before and decides to pick the family up, take them away from all the memories and problems that have surfaced since and give them an adventure to focus on. Loosely based on the memoirs of Benjamin Mee, ‘We Bought a Zoo’ follows the Mee family as they embark on an adventure to bring a local zoo back to its former glory. ![]() Genre: Comedy, Drama REVIEW: WE BOUGHT A ZOO Starring: Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson, Colin Ford ![]() |
