Not as bad a genre as true crime, maybe, or god forbid, narrative romantic non-fiction, but. Even his own sons were not spared.ĭavid's story, writes McKenzie, "reads like a modern soap opera, with plenty of sex, violence, and struggles for power." Throughout his scandalous reign, important figures who stood in his way died at convenient times, under questionable circumstances. While instituting a full-blown Middle Eastern monarchy, David was an aggressive leader, a devious politician, and a ruthless war chief. Similarly, McKenzie reveals how David's ascent to power, traditionally attributed to popularity and divine blessing, in fact resulted from a campaign of terror and assassination. McKenzie shows that the story of humble beginnings is utterly "shepherd" is a metaphor for "king," and David came from a wealthy, upper-class background. This David was not the humble shepherd who slew Goliath and became king, however, but was a usurper, adulterer, and murderer-a Middle Eastern despot of a familiar type. ![]() McKenzie concludes that David was indeed a real person.

I really enjoyed Yoshimoto’s storytelling style, and the sparse translation gave it that quintessentially Japanese feel of implying so much with so few words. It is an achingly sad story about moving on, and though I preferred Miakge’s story this one was also lovely in its sadness. ![]() In just 40 pages Banana Yoshimoto explores teenage love, and once again, the different ways we each deal with grief. The second tale, which occupies the third part of the book is ‘Moonlight Shadow’. The story explores the nature of loneliness, the pain of grief, and the gentle healing of companionship. ![]() The first tale, which unfolds across Part 1 ‘Kitchen’ and Part 2 ‘Full Moon’ deals with the grief of Mikage after the death of her grandmother, and the family of mother and son who take her in. It has the depth and character development of a much longer novel, which was a surprise to me. Usually I would call this a novella, but there is something about the narrative that, despite its word count, feels whole. There are three parts to this tiny 160 page book, and 2 distinct stories. A haunting, beautiful little novel about grief, loneliness, and the solace we find in others. ![]() ![]() ![]() Poop by the lawn mower."Īnd the chop chop of the words will seep into their brain and they'll begin to see that "tell me more" isn't the only way to revise a piece of writing and a little of the "what i did over the weekend essay" will seep out and they might actually pick up a book when it's not "required reading".
