But while the pandemic city is empty of some people, it is full of others. ![]() While we see this in films like the 2007 I am Legend, the 2013 video game The Last of Us and the 2018 novel Severance by Ling Ma, we have also read about this in countless news reports during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Unlike other dystopic or catastrophic imaginaries, pandemic fiction often portrays an emptied but intact city. Pandemic fictions, an increasingly popular genre, help mould and imagine this constellation. The coronavirus pandemic has revealed or reminded us of the biopolitical assemblage: biology and politics have grown ever increasingly intertwined in the last two centuries as populations become the site and raison d’etre of political power. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Humpty Dumpty just loved to sit on his wall, but he’s been done in in a rather nasty fashion. Jack Spratt, stuck over in NCD (Nursery Crimes Division), has hardly the reputation of Friedland-there’s that awkward business of bungling the Three Little Pigs case-and Spratt’s newest problem is the untimely death of one very large egg. The Reading police department is unnaturally enamored with DCI Friedland Chymes, who not only always gets his man but is also able to solve crimes in a snappy yet dramatic fashion that makes fantastic copy when he writes them up for the magazines. Nursery rhymes have come to life in his latest, but the crimes are just as grotesquely complex, the press as vainglorious, the coppers divided between greedy attention-seekers and humble head-down heroes, as in the real world. ![]() Welcome to the beginning of a whole new wave of mysteries soon to be thickening bookstore shelves everywhere, because if Fforde ( The Well of Lost Plots, 2003, etc.) knows one thing, it’s that for every bit of innovation you must give the audience at least another of cliché.

WANG: Yeah, when we got here, I remember the first thing we realized - that even though there were Chinese people around us in Chinatown, we were of a different kind of Chinese. So help us understand how you navigated through that world. You also didn't speak Chinese, as some kid taunted you about - at least his Chinese. WANG: It was, but I think I was protected by the fact that I was a child and just kind of took things as they came, as children do, and had that sort of natural resilience. SIMON: This memoir takes us through five years in your childhood, a young girl trying to make a home in America with her family. QIAN JULIE WANG: Thank you so much for having me, Scott. Qian Julie Wang, who is a Yale Law graduate, now an attorney, has written a memoir, "Beautiful Country." She joins us now from Brooklyn, N.Y. Her family escaped to the United States, New York, in 1994 but were undocumented, and they had to live, in the Chinese phrase, as people in hei (ph) - the dark, the shadows, the underground world of undocumented immigrants who work menial jobs off the books in fear that their underground existence might be exposed. Her uncle, a teen at the time, was arrested for criticizing Mao Zedong, and her father's family lived under a hail of rocks, pebbles, slurs and worse. The story of Qian Julie Wang, as she explains, begins before she was born. ![]() ![]() ![]() As Publishers Weekly said in its review, The Beast of Cretacea is “equal parts Moby Dick retelling, environmental cautionary tale, and coming-of-age story.” What’s the most iconic – or memorable – part of The Beast of Cretacea?Ī writer takes a risk whenever he or she steps outside the rigid boxes labeled genre. “Call me Ishmael” is the iconic first line of Moby Dick. I’ve tried to make The Beast updated page-turning excitement, complete with virtual reality technology and monstrous sea creatures. I’ve borrowed from Melville’s plot but not his language and style. The writing in my book isn’t nearly as complex or difficult. How do you think The Beast of Cretacea appeals to today’s audience? Jonathan Halpern: Moby Dick is a classic, but teenagers rarely read it today due to its complicated style and language. Setting his book in the future, Strasser puts an awesome twist on the original story whether you’ve read Moby Dick or not, you’re bound to love T he Beast of Cretacea. Strasser’s latest novel, The Beast of Cretacea, is a modern take on the classic Moby Dick. Todd Strasser has written over 140 books, including award-winners Boot Camp, Fallout, and The Wave. ![]() |
