She has a real thing about giant pumpkin growers too. George is an American poet, recently arrived in the UK. Struggling to finish an epic poem on ice hockey, he plays a lot of pinball and gets chased around by his students. Lost, lonely, and in love, he and Eloïse really should be together, yet it seems they may never meet up ... But Man or Mango? is more than a lament for unrequited transatlantic romance. Funny and furious, it is a scathing, searing, rollicking and vertiginous reflection on life and love in a belligerent world.]]></description><link>https://stmarys.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C708652</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://stmarys.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C708652</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ellmann, Lucy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://stmarys.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/708652012</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Lament</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781771964951/MC.GIF&amp;client=strtp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things Are Against Us]]></title><description><![CDATA["Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold. As Yeats pointed out, things have a lot to answer for. These satirical essays jauntily tackle the obstinacy, incorrigibility, and recalcitrance of things, Laura Ingalls Wilder's unimpressive descriptions of the construction of bobsleds and door latches, and the way we try to stand on our own two feet, put our best foot forward, remain footloose and fancy-free, and inevitably put our foot in it. They also cover the first suggestion the internet offers when you look up the word ‘women' (spoiler: it's shoes) and other annoyances (some fatal) of male supremacy, the nobility of buttons, and what the rejection of tourists by Jordanian donkeys should mean for global travel (stop!). Ingrid Bergman and Jane Austen come into it somewhere (Helen Gurley Brown was forcibly removed). Early versions of some of these essays have appeared in international outlets of record, but others are brand-new and ready for your delectation."--]]></description><link>https://stmarys.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C691496</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://stmarys.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C691496</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ellmann, Lucy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://stmarys.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/691496012</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781771964333/MC.GIF&amp;client=strtp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ducks, Newburyport]]></title><description><![CDATA[Peeling apples for tartes tatin, an Ohio mother wonders how to exist in a world of distraction and fake facts, besieged by a tweet-happy president and trigger-happy neighbours, all of them oblivious to what Dupont has dumped into the rivers and whats happening at the factory farm down the interstate, not to mention what was done to the lands first inhabitants. A torrent of consciousness, narrated in a single sentence by a woman whose wandering thoughts are as comfortably familiar as they are heartrendingly honest, 'Ducks, Newburyport' is a fearless indictment of our contemporary moment.]]></description><link>https://stmarys.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C661868</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://stmarys.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C661868</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ellmann, Lucy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://stmarys.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/661868012</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781771963077/MC.GIF&amp;client=strtp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
