This Week's Acquisitions
- Rachel Kadish, The Weight of Ink (Houghton Mifflin, 2017). Parallel plot historical novel about two Jewish women: a seventeenth-century secretary to a rabbi in Amsterdam and the twenty-first century historian who becomes intrigued with her life. (Lift Bridge)
- K. A. Kaity, ed., Respectable Horror (Fox Spirit, 2017). Horror anthology inspired, according to the editor, by M. R. James and similar authors. (Amazon)
- Stanley Hauerwas and L. Gregory Jones, ed., Why Narrative? Readings in Narrative Theology (Wipf and Stock, 1997). Reprint of a classic anthology devoted to the theory and practice of narrative theology (which interests me because a handful of nineteenth-century novelists tried something similar, albeit on very different principles).
