Levy casts the Supreme Court justice as somebody who was raised to challenge established wisdom from the start, who was shaped by the sexist and anti-Semitic prejudice she encountered and fought back against, and who created a career and family balance that was unusual in its time. With Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s current cult following, it’s not surprising that she’d get the picture-book treatment. ![]() ![]() ![]() Though WW1 is over now, if anyone finds out what was written in the papers, it might just ignite another battle.

I am hosting an Agatha Christie Readathon on my blog in April 2018 where we are reading one of her books each week. ![]() ![]() ![]() This collection’s portholes onto sinister fantasy include such stories as “The Marlyweck Cemetery,” “The Inn of the Specters” and “The Story of the Wûlkh.” Ray takes the reader from the quiet streets of Ghent to the scrambled streets of London to the Flinders river in Australia, with tales spun from such materials as the iron hand of Götz von Berlichingen, the black mirror of John Dee, a Moustiers ceramic plate and the shifting, extradimensional menace of a predatory cemetery.Īlternately referred to as the “Belgian Poe” and the “Flemish Jack London,” Jean Ray (1887-1964) delivered tales and novels of horror under the stylistic influence of Dickens and Chaucer. Embracing the influence of American pulp fiction, Ray’s short stories found a new audience during World War II, and gave voice to a realm of fear and unease that blended fantasy with a Catholic heritage and a distinctly bourgeois everyday.Ĭircles of Dread, Ray’s fourth short-story collection, was first published in 1943, the same year that saw the appearance of his best-known work, the novel Malpertuis. Wartime tales of disquiet and dread from Jean Ray, author of Cruise of Shadows and progenitor of the “Belgian School of the Strange”ĭuring the Occupation, severed from contact with France and other countries, Belgian publishing turned inward, and forgotten authors such as Jean Ray were given new leases on literary life. ![]() |
