“That old September feeling, left over from school days, of summer passing, vacation nearly done, obligations gathering, books and football in the air ... Another fall, another turned page: there was something of jubilee in that annual autumnal beginning, as if last year's mistakes had been wiped clean by summer.”

What kind of world have we created? Increasing numbers of us live in fear of losing our homes and jobs, many forced to rely on charity for food. Many of us live destitute on the streets, and no-one seems to care. Many more live in poor countries where lack of clean water and basic sanitation kills millions every year. Then there are the environmental dangers that we face, above all climate change, which is well able to kill us all. Yet in the midst of all this some of us have wealth that can't be consumed in a thousand lifetimes. This book presents the results of an exploration into these concerns by someone who is deeply disturbed by them; who has discovered how and why they have arisen, and proposes ways out of the mess that we have created.

9 One Year of Life

One Year of Life

K J Tesar | Fiction

Rating:

This first full length novel by K J Tesar relates the different interpretations of the relationship between the two main protaganists, and also those of their friends, and families. The story is narrated through each person's perspective, and we find that rarely are they in the mindset that the others believe. A terrible tragedy strikes one of the main protaganists, changing everything, and leading to a heart breaking conclusion. Many of the others also go through much upheaval in their lives, although along with the serious situations that they all face, there is always a great vein of humour running through the novel. It is a story of people misunderstanding each other, although coming together when forced to by the heavy weight of great burdens.

Millennials would rather be fired over defending something they believe as fair than to compromise on something they feel is not fair. It is the most peculiar thing, and I feel strangely guilty yet proud of them for it. They are stronger than the exhausted executives give them credit for. When they win, they will prove that fairness is the prescription to cure their governing disorder.
