This article is written by Shannon, a white American foreign correspondent (as Umrigar reveals in the acknowledgments, the character was inspired by the real life work of Ellen Barry for The New York Times). To many around her, Meena is seen to have dishonored her family by defying her brothers and entering into an interfaith marriage they had forbidden. Spurred on by a lawyer who’ll work pro bono, Meena is taking her brothers to court, an act unheard of in the rural community where they live. Abdul, Meena’s husband, does not survive the blaze. “ Honor,” Thrity Umrigar’s ninth novel, opens with a newspaper clipping detailing the fate of Meena, a woman who becomes disabled after surviving a fire set by her Hindu brothers with the intention of killing her and her Muslim husband. ![]()

![]() ![]() Benson, dip once more into the twisted, grisly visions of Ambrose Bierce, dance with the old-time haunts of Hawthorne, and feel my teeth chatter for the latest time on account of Cynthia Asquith’s crossed-over interlopers.įor a long time, I considered Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House the best horror novel I knew.

But what if racism, sexism, and ableism aren’t just bugs in mostly functional machinery-what if they’re coded into the system itself? In the vein of heavy hitters such as Safiya Umoja Noble, Cathy O’Neil, and Ruha Benjamin, Meredith Broussard demonstrates in More Than a Glitch how neutrality in tech is a myth and why algorithms need to be held accountable. The word “glitch” implies an incidental error, as easy to patch up as it is to identify. ![]() When technology reinforces inequality, it’s not just a glitch-it’s a signal that we need to redesign our systems to create a more equitable world. ![]() ![]() ![]() As such, the study applies a qualitative methodology by following a textual analysis of the novel's characters, narrative descriptions, and spatial setting. ![]() In this sense, the study gaps lie in exploring such new humanism as an archetype of postmodern civilisation surviving the destructive events and their related ethical dilemmas. Third, it looks into the conditions of the remaining survivors as the embodiment of the remains of the human civilisation, and these survivors will be explored as the literary paradigm of new humanism living in a post-apocalyptic society leading a new primitive life from scratch. Second, it identifies the narrative descriptions of the devastated environment ensuing gigantic disasters that obliterate the vast majority of the human civilisation. Therefore, the study first examines the nameless characters of the novels as an exemplification of people who are devoid of their identity and sense of belonging due to natural catastrophes. ![]() It will demonstrate how McCarthy's uses postmodern narrative experimentation to accentuate the necessity of halting the danger lurking behind the sustainable safety of the natural environment. The study focuses on three inextricable narrative elements: the characters, narrative descriptions, and the novel's spatial setting. This paper attempts to study the experimental narrative structure to explore postmodern new humanism in Cormac McCarthy's The Road. ![]() ![]() ![]() I really loved the beginning of this show, music and all however, I did something I rarely do. close your eyes to the logic and writing flaws and just sail with the fun cracky parts.
