These short stories offer thought-provoking, glimpses into the complexities of human relationships. They transported this American reader seamlessly into the British landscape and psyche, complete with brooding rainy days and quirky care-worn characters. The entire collection can be read in an hour or less, or the stories can be savored one at a time as time allows. Time well spent.

Janet Cameron crafts beautifully developed characters and vivid imagery in this collection of short stories, as she deftly maneuvers readers through gritty textures, to surprise endings, and down the winding bends of memoir. Nearly as much poetry as prose; Cameron's language --alternately sharp and flowing, compassionate or lilting-- spins woolen, nubby and silken yarns that make you yearn for more.

I enjoyed reading all the stories in this book.

Janet Cameron has a smooth style that makes reading a pleasure. Each story is quick and snappy but has a depth that makes it compelling. Most of them raise a sense of unease, as though there's a sinister punchline coming. Even when the implied doom never materializes, there's always a twist at the end. All the stories are well crafted.

Anyone who loves words will appreciate the beautiful prose and vivid imagery.

Fifteen Women Philosophers

Image
Follow the link to access my latest book, Fifteen Women Philosophers you should have learned about at school (but probably didn't)  http://www.amazon.com/Fifteen-Philosophers-should-learned-school-ebook/dp/B00MR8OSS8#reader_B00MR8OSS8 Review by Sarah Barton: In her book Ms Cameron gives us interesting insights into the lives of women philosphers of bygone eras who were only too aware of the injustices of living in a world dominated by men. Thinkers like de Gournay and Wollstonecraft were early feminists, demanding that women should have access to education and equality. Wollstonecraft even stated that if men were treated as demi-gods then the inequality would result in women becoming 'cunning, mean and selfish'. Ms Cameron combines a brief biography of each of her candidates with a summary and an analysis of the main thrusts of their arguments, making us wish for more so it is excellent that there is a useful bibliography at the end.  The work of some of these women...

Philosopher Louis de Jancourt - How to Become an Enlightened Writer

Image
Public Domain Wikimedia Commons Louis de Jaucourt, (1704-1779) was a great scholar of the Enlightenment, born in Paris, who studied theology in Geneva. He  influenced his readers by his intelligent use of language and metaphor, and by inviting their complicity through sound psychological processes. Overcoming the Loss of a Manuscript Today, we are lucky as there is a degree of safety in storing our work online. It might be plagiarised but it is unlikely to be lost. It wasn't so in times past. The saddest thing about this great man's life was that he worked for twenty years to produce a work of six volumes on Anatomy, but the ship carrying his manuscript sank on its way to Amsterdam, and his labours were entirely lost.  Yet, undeterred, he went on to contribute more articles to the Encyclopédie than any other writer, and he did this voluntarily. He was already wealthy so he was willing to participate without payment. He wasn't as well-known or...

Political Uses of Literature - Italo Calvino on Hidden Motives

Image
Publi Domain Italo Calvino (1923-1985) was born in Cuba and grew up in San Remo, Italy. He fought for the Italian Resistance in WW2 from 1943-1945. In " Right and Wrong Political Uses of Literature ," Calvino begins by describing the difficulties for writers in being heard, since even the most sensational and explosive writing can fail to impact on readers, "All is as nothing, like the sound of the wind." Words pose no danger to writer or reader, and those of the poet or writer tend to be swallowed up - unless and until the work is persecuted. When this happens, the true power of literature is disclosed, a challenge to authority. The persecution of literature has a knock-on effect. Whenever writers are persecuted, there must already be restraints on discussion and political thought. Fiction and poetry can fulfil the important role of giving a voice to those deprived on one. Two Wrong Ways of Thinking About the Use of Politics in Literature Calvino pos...
