The analysis is divided into four chapters as follows: how to read the unnatural in a narrative, what constitutes an unnatural space, the respective narrator’s voice, and finally, reliability of the narrators within their unnatural space. By using a combination of the fairly recent sub-discipline within narratology, unnatural narrative theory, and Genette’s question of “who speaks?”, this study analyses the narrators and the different kinds of unnatural spaces in which they speak. This paper compares the unnatural aspects of Gulliver’s Travels and select City Watch instalments of Discworld. The narratives foreground the fantastic, written to entertain and amuse its readers but also contain societal criticism in the form of satire or parody.

Life on board is chaotic, but more or less peaceful - exactly what Rosemary wants. The crew is a mishmash of species and personalities, from Sissix, the friendly reptilian pilot, to Kizzy and Jenks, the constantly sparring engineers who keep the ship running. The Wayfarer, a patched up ship that's seen better days, offers her everything she could possibly want: a small, quiet spot to call home for a while, adventure in far-off corners of the galaxy, and distance from her troubled past.īut Rosemary gets more than she bargained for with the Wayfarer. When Rosemary Harper joins the crew of the Wayfarer, she isn't expecting much.

Lewis (this book reminds me a lot of Lewis’s Mere Christianity). And Pursuit of God seemed to fit well, so I added it to the list.Īnd I’m so very glad to have made that decision. As I started to flesh out the content plan for 2017 and beyond, I realized I wanted to do more learning on the topics myself and started looking for materials. That is, until I started thinking about the core content of this newsletter and my goals for 2017.

The audio captured conversation with people like John Huston, Billy Wilder, immediate family members of Monroe’s psychiatrist Ralph Greenson, and Eunice Murray, the housekeeper who discovered Monroe’s body. “He played some to us and we suddenly thought, Wow, we’re actually there-inside the investigation,” Cooper tells Vanity Fair. It wasn’t until Cooper discovered that Summers still had the audio from those incredible interviews that her perspective changed. ( Vanity Fair excerpted the republished biography here earlier this year.) Summers interviewed some 650 people for the book. Which was why filmmaker Emma Cooper ( The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann) initially balked when author Anthony Summers asked the British filmmaker to peruse his best-selling 1985 biography of Monroe, Goddess: The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe. Sixty years after Marilyn Monroe’s death, there isn’t much new to say about the icon or her tragic passing at age 36-as scandalous as the sex symbol’s final days were.
