		Greta suddenly lands a choice job editing a young superstar's second novel (because he's heard of her ruthless cutting).
		Paula's story, like the others in Personal Velocity, allows sympathy without resorting to heavy-handed redemption, insight without instruction.
		(The film's "gimmick" comes in here -- all the stories touch on the story of this accident, underlining that they all take place at the same time.) When Paula picks up a young hitchhiker whose extensively bruised body reveals a history of abuse, she's moved to rethink her own priorities.

	Tate Magazine Issue 8: Paula Rego
		Girlhood and its appetites have inspired Paula Rego’s picture-making for over 30 years, and her works in this vein include the brilliantly fluent and mischievous sequence of paintings The Vivian Girls, inspired by Henry Darger’s extraordinary, epic scroll novel, populated by heroines, part Enid Blyton schoolgirls, part Surrealist femmes-enfants.
		In Paula Rego’s work, in her ‘artist’s dreamland’, the peculiar and the elfish twist and turn with a similar rebellious vitality.
		Rego has explored, in a myriad different sequences of pictures, the conditions of her own upbringing in Portugal, her formation as a girl and a woman, and the oscillation between stifling social expectations and liberating female stratagems.

	Paula Woods' Review of The Full Matilda
		Her first-person narrative punctuates the novel and gives voice to the dramas and disappointments that shaped six generations.
		Ironically it is Martin's nemesis Matilda who becomes the boys' safe haven, even as she demands they adhere to the family's exacting code.
		But the sensitive rendering of a lost world plus the depth of feeling revealed through the relationships of Matilda and the men in her life places "The Full Matilda" in a broader context that one hopes brings Haynes the critical acclaim he so richly deserves.

	Locus Online: Commentary by Paula Guran
		Horror as a "genre" simply did not exist until about 30 years ago, and its emergence as a publishing market niche was not so much a literary development as the result of the success of several films based on novels.
		Horror literature is certainly not a recent invention, nor is the horror novel anything new.
		His novel 'Salem's Lot came out in 1975 and became a TV movie in 1979, the same year King first reached hardcover bestseller status (with The Dead Zone).

		As "the only purely imagined event in the book," the inclusion of Joan's unexpected and unprepared for suicide immediately following this episode, is, as Paula Bennett has written, "necessitated not by the novel's plot, themes, or characters but by Plath's own emotional understanding of her text.
		The novel presents the transformation of Esther Greenwood from a young woman who hates the idea of serving men in any way to one who appears to earn her exit from the asylum by committing herself, albeit unwittingly, precisely to that project.
		The novel dramatizes a tragic self-dismemberment in which the heroine, because of her very strengths and aspirations, appears to split off those components of herself that represent patriarchally-defined expectations of women, projecting these aspects of herself on her mother, her grandmother, Dodo Conway, Mrs.

	Amazon.co.uk: Dorian: An Imitation: Books
		Will Self's excoriating new novel is set against the AIDS crises of the '80s and '90s, and is a shameless reworking of our most shameless classic novel.
		Well, it works in other mediums (Liz Phair's Exile In Guyville working in track by track resistance to the Stones' Exile on Main Street, for one; Paula Vogel's highly personal How I Learned To Drive in response to Lolita is another) but it usually falls flat in books and it certainly does here.
		Surely he wasn't intent on writing this particular novel to prove himself a better writer than Wilde, but rather to make his own statement on beauty, the passing of time and the general zeitgeist.

	Romance Novel Corner
		Another courtesan book that I recently purchased is "Perdita: The Literary, Theatrical, Scandalous Life of Mary Robinson," by Paula Byrne.
		The book received mix reviews on amazon and the cover blurbs were strictly by other romance authors, but the book looks to be quite lively and entertaining, as well as lavishly illustrated.
		This biography is of a late 18th century Georgian courtesan previously unknown to me: Grace Dalrymple Elliot, who had a child whose father may have been the Prince of Wales.

	THE ROMANCE READER reviews: The Wolfe’s Mate by Paula Marshall
		I hope that other potential readers are not deterred from picking up Paula Marshall’s novel.
		It would be a shame if Marshall’s book doesn’t get the readership it deserves.
		On the other hand, perhaps readers who have never read a Regency romance will be misled by the title and pick up the book.

	Baltimore City Paper: FILM The Stepford Wives
		Along with a spunky, similarly spooked mad housewife (sassy, charismatic Paula Prentiss), Joanna sets out to figure out what the hell is going on.
		Sure, Stepford's a little campy, and its blistering, pessimistic view of gender relations borders on hysteria (not surprising, since it's based on a novel by unsubtle pulpmeister Ira Levin).
		Joanna's uneasiness with her new digs is exacerbated by the behavior of her neighbors--the men are patronizing and secretive, the women servile automatons dressed in ruffles and flower prints who seem unnaturally preoccupied with recipes, detergents, and shopping.

	The Stranger Among Us
		There is nothing very original in The Unknown Soldier and it isn't really very science fiction since the timetravel theory is never explained or explored, and the mechanism that generates the climax doesn't depend on your understanding of the timetravel theory or the hero's inventing some novel application of that theory.
		It is a fantasy quest novel and the background for the story is a series of wars between the races of a fantasy world.

		For anxious narrators, try Lydia Davis's 'The End of the Story (High Risk Books)', Paula Fox's 'Desperate Characters: A Novel' and 'Poor George: A Novel', and Mary Gaitskill's 'Bad Behavior (Vintage Contemporaries)'.
		Compare TLTHW to Margaret Atwood's early novel, 'Bodily Harm', and you'll see what I mean when I praise Didion's paranoid vision for her narrators.
		In her memoir, Didion reevaluates her first novel, 'Run River (Vintage International)', a story set in the Sacramento Valley.

	SF Reviews Titan by Stephen Baxter
		Paula Benacerraf, Isaac Rosenberg and Bill Angel and many others play their parts in America's last-gasp attempt at space exploration - the trip to Titan.
		It's all conventional technology, except for the prevalence of "softscreens" and a throw-away comment about "cruise-viruses" (I can imagine them zooming through the network slipping under the firewalls).

		The novel opens with the arrival of a young member of the Guard who has the unfortunate job of informing Paula that her estranged husband, Charlo, has been killed while holding a woman hostage during an attempted robbery.
		Early reviews of the novel have lauded Doyle for his ability to give voice to Paula Spencer, that is, Doyle’s ability to efface his (male) presence in his female narrator’s voice and sensibilities.
		Like Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha, Doyle’s latest is not so fun as his earlier three, nor should this be a surprise.
