5/12/2023 0 Comments Narcopolis review![]() ![]() Narcopolis is set in Mumbai, fondly referred to as “Bombay” by Thayil, who I gather had a drug addiction during his youth, a part of which was spent in Mumbai. Thayil's late wife Shakti Bhatt, a very well-known and popular figure in literary circles, used to run Bracket Books. ![]() One of India's best contemporary poets, the son of reputed senior journalist TJS George, Thayil spent his childhood in Hong Kong, New York and Mumbai. Jeet Thayil, the author of Narcopolis, needs no introduction to Indian readers. However, it took me a while to find time to actually read this brilliant piece of writing which has now been shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2012. Much before Narcopolis made it to the long list for the Booker Prize, I had added it to my reading list. ![]() ![]() ![]() This information is then used for behavioral trends that help advertisers better target customers.

In other words, this instalment is rife with excitement, and it has been the most enjoyable of Stackpole’s books so far. On a third front Warlord Zsinj is making his bid for power, striking at their convoys. Simultaneously, Kirtan Loor, secreted away in the city, is striking at the New Republic with his Palpatine Counter-insurgency Front, destroying, among other things, bacta reserves, invaluable in curing the Krytos virus. The Krytos virus, engineered on Ysanne Isard’s orders, is attacking the non-human population of Coruscant, and the death toll is staggering. In the third instalment of the “Rogue One” series, the New Republic must do battle on many fronts. You do get a little better, though, I’ll give you that. ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments Alison page designer![]() ![]() Shooting the action at Kamay on a digital cinema camera It’s a story I have heard echoed by Aboriginal people in many parts of Australia, from the southern wilds of Victoria to the tip of Cape York. ![]() Talking to Ray Ingrey of the Gujaga Foundation in La Perouse, I found out that the meaning of ‘warrawarrawa’ relates to our peoples’ deep beliefs about reincarnation. So what these men were yelling, probably to their own mob, was that these visitors were all dead, they were all ghosts. The true translation of ‘warra’ in the Dharawal language is ‘dead’. Certainly, there were two men who seemed apprehensive about the arrival of this ‘big canoe’ - but, as it turns out, this was for very different reasons. ![]() Go away, I had supposed, because Cook had written in his journal entry for 29 April 1770, ‘as we approached the shore, they all made off except two Men who seem’d resolved to oppose our landing’.

But there you have it: I wouldn't have finished 11.22.63 if I hadn't been reviewing it. ![]() I had never thought to hear myself call King boring as a judgment, it's like saying that PG Wodehouse isn't funny. Narrative tension, ordinarily his greatest skill, has been ruthlessly sacrificed on the altar of pedantry. In love with his conceit – he has written a time-travel story in which a man can move between 20 at will – King has delivered a self-indulgent book that is too long (a whopping 740 pages), too complicated and too barmy for words. For in 11.22.63, his 49th novel, we see him fatally stymied by his own plot. S tephen King is a great American storyteller – though not, perhaps, quite so great as some of our more posturing critics, keen to prove how "down" they are with the masses, would have you believe. ![]() ![]() Uses: While the pace of “Slowly, Slowly, Slowly,” said the Sloth is much slower than other books that encourage physical activity, it still can be used to encourage children to move.
