    The population of West Africa has more than doubled since 1995 despite millions of people leaving. They aren't fleeing Climate Change -- They're fleeing their own out of control birth rates.

    I liked Shuggie Bain, but not this book. I don't even like Mungo. He is at times portrayed as a gentle soul, and I just don't believe a gentle soul would do what Mungo does. The author has made a success of his life after being brought up in similar surroundings to Mungo, but where is the optimism that his own experiences should give to the story ?

    This presentation is misleading. The book the author wrote is unrelentingly dark: a 15 year-old boy becomes a man through a series of physical, sexual, and emotional violence meted out by closest family members and strangers. If the gratuitous violence wasn’t enough to completely crush the boy, complete hopelessness arrives at the very end to finish him off and bring the novel to its conclusion. There is no light in this novel.

    Awesome book it’s still on my mind even after reading it a while ago . I hope against hope for a follow up . The young guy in the book mungo was in a world of madness yet he was still kind and honest even after all the things that happened to him . Thanks Douglas I really can’t remember enjoying a book more it really touched a chord with me 👍👍

    Arbitration waivers and NDA's are never good. I don't know how to flush that out of the system. Most people don't understand it, except the lobbyists that are holding it in place within state legislatures.

      What do you mean ? Can you explain please

    • @jonharrison9222
      @jonharrison9222 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The fact he keeps branching off into conspiracy theories and finding flimsy excuses to bolt them onto whatever’s being discussed. His sales are poor? It’s because some moustache-twirler planned it that way. He’s not as famous as Ian McEwan? It’s because of the all powerful, all knowing Establishment monitoring every last moment of your life. Or how he keeps snapping at friendly interviewers that like his work purely for being English. I would have thought he, of all people, would be above that. Which is a shame. His fiction gets into the meat of the subject without theorising, whether it’s teaching, perambulating to the broo, drinking, playing snooker or getting poisoned by rat pish. He does make a fair point about his work and that of the writers that influenced him being mistaken for naturalism (though that is a fine tradition, not knocking it) when it really isn’t. He has a reputation for realism but do you notice how his fictional universe seems largely set in the 70s with tweaks?

    Wonderful interview. Stef, I really appreciate that you listened attentively to Jill and gave her the respect and space to provide her in-depth thoughts and answers. You never interrupted her which makes you shine through as an interviewer. Not all interviews are this articulate and you shine through. This is my first viewing and watch of Jill L.. I love her energy and sincere caring of Anne Lister and Ann Walker. Amazing that you did the trek of her very footsteps. Stef...WOW!! What a wonderful life to be able to explore the paths of A.L. as your own vocation now. I'm envious and interested. Thank you for this meaningful interview. I have ordered Female Fortune a week or so ago and can't wait for it to arrive. I'm already reading Whitbread books, journals/ diaries, and all things A.L. and A.W. that is there to read. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
