- Twilight's feminist backlash | Bidisha
That a woman created Bella's man-worshipping, abuse-excusing pathology is baffling – luckily strong heroines abound elsewhereSo. Twilight Eclipse. Wolfboy Jacob lurks nudely, rudely, buffly, looking ever-ready for some lupine tussling out yonder. Vampire Edward appears to be struggling with constipation. And Bella, how goes it with her? Do you know, I can't remember. Who is she? Nobody. What does she do? Nothing. Where is she without men? Nowhere. Want to know what Bella's secret power is? It's the power of negation. She's such a deadzone of psychic antimatter that supernatural mojo doesn't work on her. Other characters' magical skills simply dissolve when they encounter the sullen ringfence of her anticharisma.Bella's passivity, the oppressiveness of her boyfriends (presented as protectiveness), the fetishisation of female victimhood and the unstinting justification of the guys' abusiveness have spurred a strong feminist backlash against the books – a backlash which I fully support. Part of our sense of disturbance and bafflement is that while all the misogynist elements of Twilight are detectable in mainstream arts and the media, they are rarely created by women.Why would a dynamic, creative, prolific and talented woman like Stephenie Meyer write a protagonist as useless as this? Why would she create bullying males and set them up as love objects? Do young women despise themselves so much that the very best they can fantasise about is trailing around after not one but two bullies? It's puzzling. I grew up obsessively reading adventure novels by Tamora Pierce, the Worst Witch series and all sorts of bronze breastplate Amazonian guff. The women in these books bristled with chagrin and energy, as did their lovers, allies, enemies and friends. How could publishing have ta 女性が作成ベラの男-崇拝、虐待-言い。病理は不可解です - 幸いにも強いヒロインはelsewhereSoを富む
- Philip Pullman's Jesus, Dan Rhodes, and the latest from the Bologna book fair
In this week's podcast we look at Philip Pullman's latest book, The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ, a rewriting of the christian story provocatively published in the week of Easter. We have an exclusive extract from the audiobook, read by Pullman himself, and our panellists answer some of the questions every Pullman fan wants to ask: why did he decide to write the book? Just how blasphemous is it? How serious are the threats made by outraged believers? We also find out what the archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, made of it in the pages of this week's Saturday Review.Also on this week's show, Lindesay Irvine talks to Dan Rhodes about his award-winning novel Little Hands Clapping, while Julia Eccleshare reports on the hottest titles at the Bologna children's book fair, and tips the books for parents to read with their children over the Easter break.Reading listThe Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ by Philip Pullman (Canongate)Little Hands Clapping by Dan Rhodes (Canongate)Children's booksThe Boy Who Climbed Into The Moon by David Almond, (Walker, 7+)How To Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell (Hodder, 7+)The Man from Pomegranate Street Caroline Lawrence (Orion, 8+)The Great Hamster Massacre by Katie Davies, illustrated by Hannah Shaw (Simon and Schuster, 8+)Sparks by Ally Kennen (Scholastic, 9+)VampiresTwilight by Stephanie Meyer (Atom)The Vampire Diaries by LJ Smith (Hodder)Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead (Simon and Schuster)Claire ArmitsteadRiazat ButtLindesay IrvineJulia EccleshareScott Cawley
