Sleeping with Bad Boys: A Juicy Tell-All of Literary New York in the the 1950s and 1960s by Alice Denham
TomMcGreevy's review: "Denham's memoir shows just what it was like for an intelligent and attractive woman to survive in the publishing world of New York in the 1950s and 1960s. In short, discrimination and sexism was rampant. All those promising young men... exposed, for what they are. Well worth reading."
Agony (New York Review Comics) by Mark Beyer
TomMcGreevy's review: "Purgatory envisaged for the sinless? I don't see any humour, if humour is intended... Just life, on the down and out."
The Gate to Women's Country: A Novel by Sheri S. Tepper
TomMcGreevy's review: "A quite lovely book, though sad in parts, speculating about life after a nuclear holocaust. Women and men live largely separately and the reasons why this is so only become clear after reading mosv of the book. Deeply wise in so many ways..."
Norwegian wood by Haruki Murakami
TomMcGreevy's review: "at core, an incredibly sad book that illustrates quite unlike anything else that I have read recently, how life in itself, living in its core essence, alienates oneself from each and every other living being, even cats named seagull. yup, so incredibly sad... so, read it, but be wary if you are of sensitive mind."
