The first element that makes In the Dream House so inventive is that most of it is written in the second person. That said, the total is more than the sum of its parts and In the Dream House is the kind of book that burrows under the reader's skin while simultaneously forcing her to inhabit the body of the writer. However, just below the surface, the narrative continually shapeshifts and at times becomes a play, an academic look at female queerness in mainstream media, a choose your own adventure book, and a sharp deconstruction of the mechanisms of psychological abuse. On its surface, the book recounts a psychologically abusive relationship that marked Machado's life in many ways. ![]() How?Ĭarmen Maria Machado's In the Dream House is the most innovative memoir I've ever read.

The book throws the notion that women need to change themselves in order to be a valuable addition to the workplace and presents the reader with relevant research and historical context that workplaces were and still are today designed for men. “Women are encouraged to power dress, speak louder, and act more assertively – in other words, act like men to fit in at work.” King shares her own experiences working with women that are often made to believe they are the problem, who work twice as hard attempting to ‘fix’ themselves by pushing themselves to become recognised for their achievements and indispensable to their company. King explains that these barriers are due to the world of work never being designed with women in mind, or many other marginalised groups, affecting society as a whole. ‘The Fix’ by Michelle P King focuses on the unseen barriers faced by women in the workplace. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Skirball show aptly points this out in a section about the progress of African American characters throughout the history of children’s literature. The details of this story were quite unusual for the time – Peter is African American and the snow he explores lies not in a lovely country town but on the streets of the inner city. These two factors were both unique in the world of children’s literature before 1962, black characters were rare, and if they appeared at all were marginal figures or caricatures such as Little Black Samba. ![]() The Snowy Day is a beautifully realized book about a little boy named Peter experiencing his first snow storm. His 1962 book The Snowy Day changed the world of children’s literature by introducing the first African American hero.

Franz would face sandstorms in the desert, a crash alone at sea, and the spectacle of 1,000 bombers, each with eleven guns, waiting for his attack. Charlie would face takeoffs in English fog over the flaming wreckage of his buddies’ planes, flak bursts so close they would light his cockpit, and packs of enemy fighters that would circle his plane like sharks. What happened next would defy imagination and later be called “the most incredible encounter between enemies in WWII.” A Higher Call follows both Charlie’s and Franz’s harrowing missions. The pilot is German ace Franz Stigler and he could destroy the young American crew with the squeeze of a trigger. Out of nowhere, a Messerschmitt fighter pulled up on the bomber’s tail. Half his crew lay wounded or dead on this, their first mission.
