Box office starters and box-office books analyzed. Nicole Tucci criticizes Unfinished Funeral for piecing together a domestic melodrama with sharp psychological insight while Fredrick Duerrenmatt’s Once a Greek is deemed morally ambivalent, heavy with satire and social critique.
Norman Shrapnel and Papas present a behind the scenes look at the Mother of Parliaments. The text recounts wartime Westminster, the fire in the Lords, and the Commons rebuilding with a leaner, more intimate tone while noting changes in manners since the past.
Review assesses two novels by Stuart Lauder, Disorderly House and Break and Begin Again. It praises Lauder’s grasp of tone and character, notes clerical and church themes in Disorderly House, and commends Break and Begin Again for its contemporary hard edge and vivid dialogue. The critic considers Lauder an exceptionally talented writer with potential for broader impact.
Sir William Hayter, former British Ambassador in Moscow, writes a lightly written reminiscence of his service from the 1950s to the 1960s. The book covers his travel in the Caucasus and observations of Soviet leaders, followed by critique of British policy during Hungary and Suez. The reviewer finds the analysis of Kremlinology weak and questions whether the author understood professional power versus personal diplomacy.
A critical look at the Melbourne Studies in Education volume of 1965, analyzing its focus on concrete educational problems rather than broad theory. It surveys essays by Wovee Cham, John Paxsmore, and others, including Gibson, Passmore, and Phillips, on philosophy, elite education, Whitehead, and public schools along with NSW and Victoria educational histories.
A chaotic catalog review of fantasy titles for young readers. The Weirdstone of Brisingamen is highlighted as an exciting magic adventure about two children on a Cheshire farm facing evil, aided by a wizard and encountering knights and a power stone. Also referenced are The Witch-Child, The Stumpfs, and The Fox and the Tomten with notes on tone, readership, and plot hints.
