Shadow and Bone's creators recognized where improvements could be made to the story and thus transformed the source material to meet the cultural moment. But unlike GoT, Shadow and Bone doesn't have that same exacting faithfulness to its source material that the HBO show was praised for - and that's a good thing. They're both fantasy series based on best-selling novels with intricate world builds they even debuted the same week (just 10 years apart). ![]() From the moment it was announced, Netflix's Shadow and Bone drew comparisons to HBO's Game of Thrones. ![]() ![]() I have never read anything quite like it. ![]() is Kafka’s Metamorphosis turned inside out and tied into a Moebius strip, so that the encounter with the insect makes the human protagonist more insectile AND more human. Lispector’s unique use of language, in which linguistic structures collapse in on themselves and everyday dialogue is taken apart to find new hidden meaning, is unnerving, strange and beautiful. The result is a transformative novel, one that takes the reader with it on the protagonist’s mystical journey, leaving the reader permanently changed by the end. to have an existential crisis, through which Lispector deconstructs language itself to poke holes in G.H.’s experiential consensus reality. This encounter with the insect Other causes the woman G.H. The book is essentially a mystical experience, brought on by the protagonist’s encounter with a cockroach. , written in Portuguese in 1964 but not translated into English until 1988, is a short novel – the edition I have comes to 189 pages – but what Lispector achieves in this short space is nothing short of remarkable.

And yes, there's prophecies, and daemons, and bad guys who get foreshadowed by their smell, and there's even enough time to squeeze in some romance for Christine.

Perhaps there is no such thing as a carefree summer after all, as a melancholy descends and things slowly seem to unravel. A cast of individual and often troubled characters piqued my interest. Told cleverly from various viewpoints, the story builds over the pages much like the claustrophobic heat of the summer. Summer days and carefree attitudes are forever altered by this turn of events. The lazy days of summer are meandering by until a girl, Zaza goes missing. ![]() Set against the backdrop of 1967, 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' and 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' are our soundtrack.
