How did you create or discover this character, and what made her the right person to tell this story? This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity. I was lucky enough to speak with Jones about his novel. (Fittingly, my review copy of this book arrived in a book jacket made to look like a VHS videotape cover.) Fresh off a double win at the Shirley Jackson Awards for his previous novel, The Only Good Indians, and novella, Night of the Mannequins, Jones lets his slasher film genre expertise shine in his heroine, Jade Daniels-a half Native, half white girl stuck in an abusive household in a dead-end Idaho town with nothing but her deep knowledge of the conventions of horror films to survive. New York Times bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones flashes his mastery of horror film history and raw teen angst in his novel, My Heart is a Chainsaw. ![]()

Soon after, "Sonny" landed a job as the Observer's Middle East correspondent. Philby's position seemed hopelessly compromised, but the establishment exonerated him. In 1951, his two co-agents, Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean, rumbled by the Americans, fled to the USSR. Philby, codenamed "Sonny" by the Soviets, was the archetype of treachery. As Macintyre wisely acknowledges, Philby has inspired a voluminous bibliography that sometimes approaches literature, for instance in the novels of John le Carré. For more than 50 years, the career of Harold Adrian Russell Philby – "Kim" to friends and family – has been the dark mirror in which we have read the bleakest episodes of Britain's postwar history. ![]() ![]() ![]() Shiver (from Slug Girl, なめくじの少女 Namekuji no Shoujo), a story about a cursed jade stone that causes holes to open up all over a person's body if they're around it.ģ. ![]() Used Record or Second-Hand Record (from House of the Marionettes, あやつりの屋敷 Ayatsuri no Yashiki), a story about people fighting over the ownership of a record that has a singer's singing as they died recorded on it.Ģ.

While I do not think we necessarily need a biological argument to fight for women's advancement (i.e., cancer can be perceived as "natural" and we fight it anyway), Inferior does advance the discourse surrounding gendered discrimination in science in meaningful ways. Overall, I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to everyone, in particular to those interested in science, feminism, and the production of knowledge. She sheds light on new research that seeks to understand gender and sex from more nuanced, feminist, and holistic perspectives. Saini discusses an array of ways in which this inaccurate idea of female inferiority came to popularity: research journals favoring studies that show differences over studies that show similarities, scientific findings that fail to take into account culture and patriarchy, sexism in research labs and universities, and more. She uses a thorough understanding of science and a fine eye for detail to reveal how many of these perceived sex differences were actually the product of biased researchers or flawed studies. With great diligence, Angela Saini combs through decades and decades of research that tried to show how women are worse than men in several areas, ranging from intelligence to aptitude for work to physical health. ![]() A powerful book that pierces through the notion that women are biologically inferior to men. ![]() ![]() And he wouldn’t have to worry about the consequences of letting her live.īut life doesn’t always work out the way you want it to, especially when you make the mistake of mixing business with pleasure.
