Landscape in orientation, the book's pages are beautifully broken into full double page spreads of full or deceptively simple scenes, as well as comic-strip style layouts that heighten the energy, right before another simple pause. With splashes and sploshes, a downpour, plenty of glassy reflections and a striking yellow raincoat against rainy grey backgrounds, the varied points of view and angles make for a fluid, high-engaging story. Following the travels of a young lad as he takes his newspaper boat for a spin in the rain puddles outside his house, the colour and vibrancy of his movement and joy is palpable. there's certainly no skimping on beauty and technique and illustrations that inspire and enchant.ĭaniel Miyares has created a fine addition to the wordless picture book fold with Float. Why are wordless picture books ever so beautiful? Perhaps it's because they have such a reliance on image to impart story. This conference is convened on the occasion of the 50 th anniversary of the publication of Beyond a Boundary, with the intention of both celebrating and questioning, drawing out the book’s intellectual legacies and identifying the issues it leaves unanswered. Much loved, and widely read, James’ study has also been the subject of searching criticism: he has been accused, among other things, of a failure of critical judgement in relation to cricket’s role in the moral framework of empire, of a lack of attentiveness to gendered inequalities, and of a naïve faith in the spontaneity of popular political resistance. Crucially, James insisted that such questions were not simply of concern to academics or to experts, but were also a central part of what drew ordinary men and women to sport. His reflections thus reach out into a critical account of racism and imperialism, into wider questions of aesthetics and popular culture, and into the struggle for revolutionary social change which was the enduring concern of his life. Developing a concern to understand sport as part of a much wider social and political context (a concern first articulated in his earlier writings for the Glasgow Herald), James’ study is part-autobiography, part-historical study and part-political-call-to-arms written against the backdrop of the decolonisation struggles. James’ Beyond a Boundary (1963) is, by his own famous definition, about far more than cricket. Regularly cited as one of the great sports books of the twentieth century, C.L.R.

The Rise of Queer Detectives and SleuthsĪs LGBTQ+ representation became more mainstream, so too did the characters within the mystery genre. These early writers paved the way for the next generation of queer sleuths. Forrest, for example, created stories that explored LGBTQ+ themes in new and innovative ways. Hansen’s work was followed by other writers who also broke ground in the genre. Hansen’s stories were groundbreaking for their time, as they featured a gay protagonist who navigated both the sleuthing world and the complexities of his personal life. One of the earliest and most well-known pioneers of gay mystery fiction was Joseph Hansen, whose series of novels featuring detective Dave Brandstetter debuted in 1970. It wasn’t until the late 20th century that early pioneers in gay mystery fiction began to emerge. However, for many years, LGBTQ+ representation was not a part of this world. The mystery genre has a long and storied history, filled with crime, suspense, and intrigue. The Evolution of LGBTQ+ Representation in Mystery Novels The fantasy Tales from Verania series includes The Lightning-Struck Heart (2015), A Destiny of Dragons (2017), The Consumption of Magic (2017), A Wish Upon the Stars (2018), and collection Fairytales from Verania (2021).
