The Observer Review Observer review: Gould's Book of Fish by Richard Flanagan By ventriloquising a historical figure in this way, Flanagan is able to approach issues such as the British genocide of Tasmanian aboriginals (most recently dealt with by Matthew Kneale in his novel English Passengers), the murderous rationalist legacy of the Enlightenment and, above all, the abominations of the British Empire's penal system. In its persistent concern with transformations, melding and minglings, and their opposites - fixity, category and class - Gould's Book of Fish is reminiscent of Lewis Carroll's Alice books, with their endless transmogrifications, their portmanteau creatures and their jumps of scale and size. Flanagan seems to be saying that the world cannot and must not be run along utterly rigid lines, for its own geometries are not so inflexible. observer.guardian.co.uk /review/story/0,6903,722141,00.html   (1464 words)

The Hindu : Memories of a garden palace Incredible as it may sound to the present generation of Hyderabadis, a replica of the palace of the valiant warrior who took on the might of the British Empire, is in Karwan once a bustling trade centre for diamonds and other precious stones. It is natural then that the official list of heritage buildings too recognises it as one, including it in the Grade I category, embodying excellence in architectural style, design and material usage and for being one of the prime landmarks in the city. The garden is named after Raja Bhagwandas, the eldest son of Raja Haridas, who came from a family having its roots in Morera, Gujarat. www.hinduonnet.com /mp/2003/11/12/stories/2003111200120300.htm   (744 words)
