The reading experience is like that of watching a quiet indie film that tugs little by little at your heartstrings until you're rendered speechless with both sadness and hope by the final pages. It's an intimate and vulnerable portrayal of two lonely, middle-aged characters who can't help but gravitate toward each other. Greek Lessons will feel like a departure from Kang's previous English-translated novels. After Kang's Booker Prize-winning novel The Vegetarian and the follow-up novels Human Acts and The White Book, Kang has carved out an international reputation for doing unsettling, transgressive work that's as unpredictable as it is confrontational. Few literary books this year are as highly anticipated as Greek Lessons, the latest novel by Han Kang to be translated into English.

And while this story takes place in 90s Brooklyn when I was barely alive and no where near Brooklyn, it felt familiar.

But as things start to go awry, Jillian soon sees another side to Case… and she likes what she sees. They haven’t exactly been friendly at work, but Case seems to be a little grumpy and buttoned-up with everyone. When her broody, scowly co-worker, Case, joins the trip at the last minute, Jillian isn’t sure what to think. The story follows Jillian, a woman who is scouting out locations for Hallmark-style movies on behalf of her employer. It doesn’t delve too deep and is sure to leave you smiling, so I’d call this one a win all around. It’s just Christmasy enough to feel like a holiday romance, but the focus is absolutely on the couple. There’s a great grumpy/sunshine dynamic, and a hero whose thoughts are fun to puzzle out. It packs a punch in a small package, diving right into a road trip between co-workers. Quick and SUPER cute, this has everything you could ask for in a holiday novella. Unfortunately, Marvel stopped at that point, never adapting the entire saga. Marvel continued to publish more Dark Tower miniseries after that, exploring more of Roland's hidden years leading up to the original Dark Tower novel and then adapting both The Gunslinger and The Drawing of the Three. That story culminates in The Dark Tower: The Battle of Jericho Hill, which chronicles the titular battle that destroys the kingdom of Gilead and sparks Roland's quest for the Dark Tower. That initial series was followed up by four more comic book miniseries that continue where the flashback leaves off and explore more of Roland's formative years. Basically an adaptation of the flashback portion of Wizard and Glass, The Gunslinger Born helps visualize a world that previously only existed in prose form and in a handful of painted illustrations. Marvel Comics first journeyed into this universe with 2007's The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born. Both the Dark Tower comics and the live-action movie are worth consuming as companions to the novels. The Dark Tower saga may be rooted in the prose world, but it's also expanded into other media in recent years. Bringing a lifetime of wisdom to bear as a scholar, filmmaker, and public intellectual, Gates uncovers the roots of structural racism in our own time, while showing how African Americans after slavery combatted it by articulating a vision of a "New Negro" to force the nation to recognize their humanity and unique contributions to America as it hurtled toward the modern age. Through his close reading of the visual culture of this tragic era, Gates reveals the many faces of Jim Crow and how, together, they reinforced a stark color line between white and black Americans. But the century in between remains a mystery- if emancipation sparked "a new birth of freedom" in Lincoln's America, why was it necessary to march in Martin Luther King, Jr.'s America? In this new book, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., one of our leading chroniclers of the African-American experience, seeks to answer that question in a history that moves from the Reconstruction Era to the "nadir" of the African-American experience under Jim Crow, through to World War I and the Harlem Renaissance. The abolition of slavery in the aftermath of the Civil War is a familiar story, as is the civil rights revolution that transformed the nation after World War II. |
