It cannot work in a nation like ours because it is non-Christian, so either people will not go for it, or they will abuse it and it will not work.” Almost every time I have made a case for debt forgiveness somebody makes this argument. One of the most consistent arguments made against the policy of society wide debt forgiveness is this: “You need a Christian or believing (in the sense of ancient Israelite) nation for it to work.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() While this partially invites an autobiographical reading – Brown, who holds a Cambridge degree in mathematics, also made her career in the finance industry – Assembly is a far cry from celebrating the glory of making it to the top and instead exposes this goal as utterly questionable. Assembly highlights the discriminating intersections of race, gender and class in today’s Britain and tells a story of social ascendancy, of a Black female narrator-protagonist who has overcome her lower-class background and has managed to obtain a top position in a London-based finance company. ![]() As a young Black British woman of Jamaican descent, Brown meets the criteria defined by Spread the Word, the organisation behind the Awards assisting underrepresented writers to develop and publish their work, with an overall aim of reflecting diversity and enabling inclusivity. The author had been virtually unknown to the larger public before winning one of the London Writers Awards in the literary fiction category in 2019. The pre-publication praise Natasha Brown received for her debut novel Assembly (2021) from renowned writers like Bernardine Evaristo or Ali Smith is quite remarkable.

He and his older brother Harry arrived there in 1936, when Daryl was 17, after working on the north Queensland cattle routes. The book tells of Daryl Tonkin's life at Jackson's Track in the Gippsland region of south-eastern Victoria. It is narrated through the eyes of a man whose account testifies to his personal humanity, and sensitivity to those whose lives he touched. It is a story of rural life that is rarely told. ![]() Jackson's Track is a remarkable story of ordinary Australian people-Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal-living together under difficult circumstances. ![]() ![]() ![]() "Alcohol is a fundamental part of Western culture.

It is likely to be enjoyed more by those who take the occasional (or more than occasional) drink than by those who do not, but a central theme should be of interest to all readers: Like it or not, alcohol has been and always will be with us, an important part of human history, culture and society. Drink: A Cultural History of Alcohol, is thorough, informative, briskly readable and witty. Iain Gately, a British writer who six years ago published Tobacco: A Cultural History of How an Exotic Plant Seduced Civilization, now turns his attention to booze, a subject, it goes without saying, of similar character but considerably larger import. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Anna Karenina principle was popularized by Jared Diamond in his 1997 book Guns, Germs and Steel. In statistics, the term Anna Karenina principle is used to describe significance tests: there are any number of ways in which a dataset may violate the null hypothesis and only one in which all the assumptions are satisfied. This concept has been generalized to apply to several fields of study. In other words: happy families share a common set of attributes which lead to happiness, while any of a variety of attributes can cause an unhappy family. ![]() The name of the principle derives from Leo Tolstoy's 1877 novel Anna Karenina, which begins:Īll happy families are alike each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. Consequently, a successful endeavor (subject to this principle) is one for which every possible deficiency has been avoided. The Anna Karenina principle states that a deficiency in any one of a number of factors dooms an endeavor to failure.

At various points in our relationship, ART had threatened to kill me, watched my favorite shows with me, given me a body configuration change, provided excellent tactical support, talked me into pretending to be an augmented human security consultant, saved my clients’ lives, and had cleaned up after me when I had to murder some humans.
