Still, I remembered all the scenes in the book quite well even if last night’s dinner takes a moment to recall. Now, I am much older, and the slippage of time in the city along with the constant low cloud cover, smoke, and fog seems symbolic of my own fading short term memory that makes events seem disjointed, difficult to put in the proper order, and separated by darkness. Kid, the hero, was a persona that I could imagine inhabiting while trying to adjust to my own life in the 70s.

Classic Star Wars: Devilworlds is a two-part comic collection that is part of the Classic Star Wars series of comics and re-publishes several of the more obscure Star Wars tales by Alan Moore from Marvel UK's magazine. Many elements and characters from these stories (such as Grand Admiral Thrawn) have been adapted into Disney's official canon, but Dark Horse really brought it to the forefront.

![]() ![]() It quickly becomes apparent that he is not on his game and his audience is restive. Dovelah Greenstein, a stand-up comedian, is performing in a bar in Natanya, Israel. It wasn’t until last week that I determinedly sat down and ploughed through the first few pages which were now familiar, and then further into the book. I’d bought the book shortly after it won the International Booker Prize in 2017 and had made several attempts to begin reading it since. I was thinking about this as I considered my reaction to David Grossman’s A Horse Walks into a Bar. The act of reading confers anonymity and detachment that makes what might otherwise be uncomfortable or even stressful, a fascination and a pleasure. On the other hand, as readers, we willingly embrace fiction, even autobiographical works which reveal uncomfortable truths about characters or the writer, yet we’re fine with that. Feelings of discomfort, embarrassment, even anger can be aroused by this kind of forced submission. ![]() The experience of the wedding guest is not uncommon, especially when a speaker is in a confessional mood.

But why were Victorian writers so into orphans? Oliver set the trend (the novel was eight chapters into its serial run when Victoria was crowned queen, in June of 1837), and then there’s Jane Eyre and Heathcliff and Daniel Deronda and Dickens’ own Pip and Estella, in Great Expectations, to name just a few. ![]() We used to listen to the soundtrack on car trips. Also, we loved the musical, Oliver!, with its boy soprano and jaunty exclamation point. We loved the Artful Dodger and his band of pickpockets, who try to teach Oliver to steal for a living.

My grandmother read it to me and my sister when we were young. Oliver Twist was Dickens’ second novel, and my first. ![]() |
