Wake in Fright By Kenneth Cook - The paradox of living free from judgement
To follow and support us, click here: http://anovelreviewpodcast.com   Is the isolated outback town of Bundanyabba a paradise of absolute freedom or a living nightmare? This week, Kenneth Cook's novel, Wake in Fright, explores the disturbing duality at the heart of the story and how the lack of judgment in The Yabba can make hell of heaven in a life of excess and indulgence - a dangerous freedom that strips away social constraints. For the locals, this is heaven; a life free from moral scrutiny, for John Grant it is a nightmare he spirals into until the thing he wants to escape is the fabric of a town he is now intimately part of.   Painting: Today I painted a beer   Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:   Wake in Fright by Kenneth Cook My Brilliant Career by Miles Franklin The Moustache by Emanuel Carrier   Additional segments throughout the podcast include:   Mantle Piece Moments What are you reading?

Watership Down by Richard Adams | Book Review & Literary Analysis | A Novel Review
To follow and support us, click here: http://anovelreviewpodcast.com A question I wondered as I started reading Richard Adam’s ‘Watership Down’ was – how affecting will a book about rabbits be? It turns out that a story, that was originally orally comprised for the entertainment of his children, journeying for a better life across fields can sweep you along a great Odyssean tale of hardship, friendship, endurance and belief. It turns out rabbits can ask deep, fundamental truths to the human experience along their journey to a better life with all the subtlety of a sweeping masterpiece   Painting: Today I painted a rabbit   Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:   Watership Down by Richard Adams The Bookshop by Penelope Lively Midnight Blue by Simone van der Vlugt The Assault by Harry Mulisch   Additional segments throughout the podcast include:   Mantle Piece Moments What are you reading?

Solaris by Stanisław Lem | Book Review & Literary Analysis | A Novel Review

A planet covered by a sentient ocean toys with the psyches of visiting scientists, dredging up their deepest regrets in all-too tangible form. Instead of offering enlightenment, Solaris holds up an alien mirror that no one wants to peer into for long. Lem slyly suggests that humanity’s greatest unknown may not be outer space, but the dark abyss within ourselves   Painting: Today I painted a view of the planet Solaris   Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:   Solaris by Stanisław Lem The Midnight Project by Christy Clemenhage   Additional segments throughout the podcast include:   Mantle Piece Moments What are you reading?
