|summary=Imagine reading Timothy Wyndham wants nothing more than to be different from his father, a book set in a Scottish children’s care home. It’s about a violent drunk and chronic underachiever whose dreams of being exceptional at any of his artistic passions all failed miserably and a deeply disturbed fifteen year old drug addict who, when she was eleven, found her prostitute foster mother murdered in the bathtubhad endless crises of self confidence. That’s the set-up of Jenni Fagan’s ''The Panopticon''So Tim applied himself to his studies, cultivated his abilities rather than his daydreams and that’s what it’s about – set himself high but the funny thing is that whatever you’re picturing in your head right now, and what I was imagining before I sat down to read it, bears absolutely no resemblance to the book Fagan has actually writtenachievable ambitions.|amazonukisbn=<amazonuk>0099558645</amazonuk>B0CVFXPGP8

{{newreviewFrontpage|author=Therese Anne FowlerMadelaine Lucas|title=Z: A Novel of Zelda FitzgeraldThirst for Salt
|rating=5
|genre=Literary Fiction
|summary=As Therese Anne Fowler points out in her acknowledgements, views on the relationship between F Scott Fitzgerald and his wife and muse, Zelda, tend to split into 'Team Scott' and Love, I'Team Zelda'. The former believe that it was Zelda's instability and possessiveness that limited Scott's creative output while the latter argue that it d read, was Scott's debauched behaviour that led supposed to Zelda's mental problems. ''Z'' takes be a more balanced view - the truth of the matter is that they needed each other light and weightless feeling, but were tragically, mutually destructive. Getting the fact-based fiction tone right is I had always a challenge, and this is exacerbated when the author gives a writer the narrative voice, and Zelda was a talented writer in her own right as well as a dancer, artist and general social phenomenon. However Fowler pulls it off with aplomb in what is a sensitive and engrossing story of Zelda - 'the First Flapper'.|amazonuk=<amazonuk>1444761404</amazonuk>}} {{newreview|author=Sheila Heti|title=How Should A Person Be?|rating=3|genre=Literary Fiction|summary=Much has been made in the media about the similarity in approach of Sheila Heti's fictionalised autobiographical ''How Should A Person Be?'' and Lena Dunham's HBO television series ''Girls''. They certainly share a similarly bleak and introspective view of life, both are apparently based on the writer's own experience, both have a somewhat knowingly shock factor particularly when it comes to sex and both leave me somewhat depressed and sad. And both have been critical successes in the US. Indeed, ''How Should A Person Be?'' also features on the 2013 long list longed for the [[Womengravity's Prize for Fiction 2013|Women's Prize for Fiction]], although it's not easy to assess where the fiction starts and the reality stops. In fact, the conceit is also somewhat similar to the scripted reality shows that dominate certain television channels. The effect is something that is interesting as a concept and exercise but less than enjoyable to read.|amazonuk=<amazonuk>1846557542</amazonuk>}}
