Alex Haleys Queen: The Story of an American Family has 670 pages. The only monsters are all too human but the bulls, at least, are real. In Renault’s version the Labyrinth (literally the House of the Axe) is Minos’ sprawling palace at Knossos, with its warrens of halls, courts and storerooms. She focuses on the tale of Theseus: the young heir to the throne of Athens, chosen as one of seven youths and seven maidens from the city sent as tribute to King Minos of Crete, to be devoured by the fearsome Minotaur in his Labyrinth. It’s so compelling because Renault uses her profound understanding of antiquity and archaeology to offer rational explanations of the Greek myths. The King Must Die is one of the very few novels in my personal pantheon. I’m pleased to report that I’ve infected her with my Renault enthusiasm and in fact she’s already finished the sequel, The Bull From The Sea. Our very informal joint reading was punctuated by excited whittering about myths (from me) and fascinating comments about narrative patterns and the question of consent in sacrifice (from her). Two books stood out particularly strongly in my memory: The King Must Die and Fire From Heaven, and I was delighted to hear that Heloise was also keen to read the former. My planned project this year is a reread of Mary Renault’s classical history novels, which had such a huge impact on me as an impressionable teenager. Although I’m only posting about it now, I finished The King Must Die before embarking on Gates of Fire.

Morgan parker there are more7/5/2023 Morgan Parker stands at the intersections of vulnerability and performance, of desire and disgust, of tragedy and excellence. The only thing more beautiful than Beyonce is God, and God is a black woman sipping rose and drawing a lavender bath, texting her mom, belly-laughing in the therapist's office, feeling unloved, being on display, daring to survive. I can't recall being this enthralled, entertained, and made alert by a book in a very long time.' Jami Attenberg 'Morgan Parker has a mind like wildfire and these pages are lit. She writes history and pleasure and kitsch and abstraction, then vanishes like a god in about 13 inches.' Eileen Myles 'I can and have read Morgan Parker's poems over and over. And of course, the poems about Beyonce are the greatest because Beyonce is our queen.' Roxane Gay So much intelligence in how Parker folds in cultural references and the experiences of black womanhood.
