Between 19, hundreds of women’s bodies were found mutilated and disfigured in Ciudad Juárez, which drew international condemnation and was the source of Roberto Bolaño’s novel 2666, which described in precise detail the physical state of dozens of corpses found in the area. The number of convictions, though, or even arrests, is so dismally low that, as activists have stated, murderers kill with “near total impunity.” Recently, the slayings of Ingrid Escamilla and 7-year old Fátima Aldrighett have renewed an outraged attention to this long-running horror.

In the 25th anniversary edition of this wonderful novel, Follett explores why he thinks this particular story made such a splash: To say the book was a sensation would be an understatement. In 1989, he decided to take a risk and publish his first ever historical fiction novel. ![]() ![]() Ken Follett is known worldwide as an author of spy thrillers, but for decades the story of a 12th-century cathedral in a town called Kingsbridge and the people who helped build it was always in the back of his mind. Who were the people who decided to make these spectacular buildings and what might have their lives have been like? These are just some of the questions that Ken Follett wanted to try and answer in his monumental historical fiction masterpiece, “The Pillars of the Earth”. We see cathedrals as these massive buildings from the past used as churches, but we rarely think about how they were constructed and why. One hardly thinks about the construction of a magnificent building as an “epic tale” with monks and builders as the main characters. When one thinks about epic tales stories of adventures and romance tend to come to mind. ![]() ![]() ![]() His book weaves together his own stories of working with Winn corrections officers and prisoners, along with the history of for-profit incarceration in the U.S.īauer’s reporting shows how Corrections Corporation of America, the for-profit firm that operated Winn at the time, is part of a controversial legacy of profiting off the labor of disenfranchised convicts. “American Prison” draws from Bauer’s own experience working undercover as an entry-level prison guard at Louisiana’s Winn Correctional Center while on assignment as a senior reporter for Mother Jones.

I would compare the Shipping News to anything by John Irving, Anne Tyler, Amy Tan. What other book might you compare The Shipping News to and why? Paul Hecht did a fantastic job bringing the characters back to life for me. The Shipping news is a favorite of mine and i greatly enjoyed listening to the narration. I now relish the traffic and find myself sitting in the driveway for a few more momments when i get home to continue to listen.
