![]() ![]() ![]() Jean Rhys was already a central figure in Zambreno’s previously published essay Heroines (2012), an essay-cum-memoir in which she tries to make sense of her own relation to writing as an artist and a wife by looking at the fates of several Modernist female writers, whose artistic voices were too often suppressed by a patriarchal society, but also by their own artist husbands. In her essay called “Garish, Glorious Spectacles”, Roxane Gay praised Zambreno’s novel as a “searing” look at “the intimate awareness many women have about the ways they are on display when they move in public, about the ways they perform their roles as women”. Kate Zambreno (1977) is the author of several novels and essays, including Green Girl (2014), a novel inspired by Jean Rhys and her female characters adrift in urban darkness, weighed down by their dependence on men and alcohol. ![]()

When the reading experience proves not as easy to dismiss, and we need to take a while to “process” the world we’ve safely entered with the guarantee that the author herself survived, writing about their book becomes a welcome obstacle to overcome. Many of these titles in what we might refer to as “survivor” narratives can be dismissed and relegated to earnest accounts, each indistinguishable from the other. If we read this genre with the voracious appetite of somebody convinced they’ll never be able to read again, or we pick a title at random that proves to conclusively change our lives, the fact that we’ve invested the time to experience the chosen narrative means we have no choice but to process the story. The same verb can be used after finishing a memoir. ![]() Go through any traumatic experience - the sudden death of a family member or loved one, or the shocking realization that a destructive relationship needs to end if we expect to survive - and experts will always monitor how we “process” the experience.

Sadly, they have been exiled to my long boxes never to be read again. Those Waid and Johns Flash comics are some of my favorites in the modern era and I look back on them with great fondness. When you combine Waid and Johns’ time on the book you get a virtually unbroken 11 year run of fantastic Flash comics on a book that crashed and burned almost immediately once Johns left and which did not recover until Johns came back in The Flash: Rebirth. (After a one issue fill-in by Pat McGreal.) Johns then proceeded to embark on his own celebrated run, guiding Wally West and the gang for three years. With everyone’s attention currently focused on DC’s future, let’s take a trip back to DC’s illustrious recent past.ġ1 years ago, after revitalizing the character and bringing him to previously unseen levels of prominence, writers Mark Waid and Brian Augustyn handed the reins of The Flash to a relative newcomer named Geoff Johns.
