Nonetheless, this is the one series I (fast-forward) watched that addressed the most frontally women exploitation and sexual crimes. As often in K drama, everyone is connected to the case, with prosecutors being relatives of victims or culprits (but not bothered by conflicts of interest), red herrings abounding, and trial outcomes being decided on the flimsiest proofs. Watched Witch at Court ( 마녀의 법정), which proposes a highly unrealistic story of an evil policeman turned politician and eventually being faced with his crimes by the daughter of one of his early victims. And made a rather successful attempt at tortillas, following a NYT recipe. Norrell… I do not think I will manage to ever finish this book!Ĭooked a batch of kouign amann but failed to include enough butter! Still eatable.
By comparison, the growing madness perspiring through the Gormenghast series is at least providing a leading line that makes it worth reading! Although it won the 2021 Women’s Prize for Fiction, and was praised everywhere and nominated for many prizes, imho, Piranesi stands as far as possible from Clarke’s earlier masterpiece Jonathan Strange & Mr. Read Upright Women Wanted for just a few dozen pages and then almost gave up out of boredom! I found of limited literary or scenarist interest, despite its nominations to both Hugo and Locus Awards 2021, but finished it in the train to Roissy airport… I am still stuck (and much disappointed!) on the first pages of Susan Clarke’s Piranesi, as the story (?) takes place in an endless complex of empty rooms and the descriptions are endless. Had I realised this was at all possible (considering the absence of sanctions on reckless car and truck drivers!), I would have stopped before reaching the Paris traffic police which was already ticketing another cyclist. Received my first biking ticket ever, not for Xing one of the 60⁺ red-lights on my bike route but for driving on the sidewalk in order to reach Dauphine as roads are currently under construction in the area, traffic is a mess, and bike lanes are closed.
