    Supreme Emperor The Emperor of Ocean Park Stephen L Carter Jonathan Cape 18, pp 657 After Jonathan Franzen's T he Corrections and Jonathan Safran Foer's Everything Is Illuminated, The Emperor of Ocean Park is the third recent American novel to arrive here with the hyperbole that comes with a massive advance and ecstatic US critical reaction.

It is also spooky how he has the knowledge of things that he plainly should not be informed of. His character to put it plainly is just weird.

  • Reader Of Lady Audleys Secret
    2,617 words
    The Style and Genre of Lady Audleys Secret Lady Audleys Secret, by Mary Elizabeth Braddon, is a novel of many elements. It has been placed in many different style or genre categories since its publication. I feel that it best fits under the melodrama or sensational genre, and under the subgenre of mystery. It contains significant elements of both types of writing, so I feel it is best to recognize both, keeping in mind that melodrama is its main device and mystery is a type of Victorian melodram...
  • Merlin In Le Morte D'arthur
    583 words
    King Arthur's Britain, a vastly different Britain than we know today, is revealed through many timeless classics in literature. Two of these pieces of literature are Thomas Malory's seriously toned Le Morte D'Arthur and Mark Twain's satirical A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. These works show distinctly different visions of the Arthurian legend. King Arthur's Britain in Trains A Connecticut Yankee and Malory's Morte D'Arthur may be compared through the unique portrayal of living condi...

  • Davidson's Fiction Novels
    1,112 words
    I could never have imagined that anyone would drool as they read a fiction mystery novel. However, not too long after I plunged into Diane Davidson's novel, The Last Supper, my own taste buds were soon activated. Diane Davidson's fiction novels, namely: The Last Supper, Cereal Murder, Die for Chocolate, and Tough Cookies all have plots that are cooking related. Compared to Chinese fiction, English fiction is much harder for me to finish reading. However, the way in which Davidson weaves her stor...
