The house on Shillingham Lane is a type of garrison. In walling the danger out, they also wall themselves in. In Josh Malermans debut 2014 novel 'Bird Box,' the world was besieged by mysterious creatures that turn people who so much as look at them lethally violent. Written with the narrative tension of The Road and the exquisite terror of classic Stephen King, Bird Box is. In order to protect themselves, people build walls against this vastness and the danger that it represents. Josh Malerman: Bird Box (signed first edition). Characters who suffer from the garrison mentality fear the oppressive vastness of their habitat.

John brings out the empathy in the reader he’s human enough that his crimes are forgivable and his punishments tragic. John is not a nice man (he will sacrifice his friends lives if it’s the easiest solution) but he has been written so that you are hard-pressed to condemn him for his actions, he makes them seem so logical. However this is far from a tale of superheroes, it’s much darker and heavily involved in the seedy sides of London magic. Hellblazer takes place on the fringes of the DC/Vertigo crossover universe so every now and then John will butt heads with Batman or Wonder Woman. He routinely battles evil but don’t be fooled into thinking he’s one of the good guys, an acquaintance with Constantine will almost always end in a death. He’s also one of the smartest and most powerful mages operating in London.

On reflection, given the author’s (perfectly justified in my view) swipes at the seats of higher learning in this city on the basis of their current values and priorities, my partiality may be a good thing! Knowing her well from our collaborations on Hong Kong writing in English and as a friend, I understand very well where much of the lively spirit of critical intervention in her memoir-cum-extended essay emanates from. So my review of her latest work-an elegy to the city of her birth-is unlikely to be impartial and “blind” in the time-honoured scholarly tradition of reviews. Let me be upfront about this: I have long been an admirer of Xu Xi and of her important, but somewhat underrated, contribution to the Hong Kong anglophone literary scene.
