Scoffing at the idea of collecting mere artefacts, Shaitana explains that he collects only the best exhibits: criminals who have evaded justice. Mr Shaitana, a flamboyant collector, meets Hercule Poirot by chance at an art exhibition and brags about his personal crime-related collection. A later reviewer considered the book to stand at the very top rung of her novels, while another appreciated the brilliant surprise ending. The novel was well received, the critics noting its humour, the subtlety and tightness of the writing, and the good clueing. Identifying the murderer, according to the author, depends wholly on discerning the psychology of the suspects. At the end of the evening, Mr Shaitana is discovered murdered. The four detectives and four possible suspects play bridge after dinner with Mr Shaitana.

Islamic Multiculturalism, Muslim Nationalism and Turkey’s Reforms for Kurds, Alevis, and Non-Muslims.†Turkish Studies, vol. “Nationalism and Religion in Comparative Perspective: A New Typology of National-Religious Configurations.†Nationalities Papers, 2021, pp. Moderator: Sherrill Stroschein (University College London, UK) References cited during the webinar:Īktürk, Åžener. Åžener Aktürk (Koç University, Turkey).The crises of Marxism and liberalism provide the context for the present resurgence of religion and nationalism. Also, European nationalisms were premised on religious sectarian homogeneity. Does religion motivate and intensify nationalism, or does it moderate and even suppress nationalism? Åžener Aktürk’s article “Nationalism and Religion in Comparative Perspective: A New Typology of National-Religious Configurations” develops a taxonomy of relations between nationalism and religion: nationalism as a modern religion the idea of a “Chosen People†religious exclusion religious influences on national policies religious observance and national identification and religiously-based “civilizations.†Aktürk argues that European Christian experience is not generalizable to the rest of the world due to the institutional autonomy and supranational organization of the Catholic Church. It had a long waiting list from the library, but we read the preview section of the Introduction in our hotel room after a soak in the hot tub at the bougie hotel across the street (the already bougie hotel we were in had theirs under maintenance).

There is also a chapter on what she calls “Psychic Wounds” which, I guess all I can say is… it accurately describes a lot of the shitty behaviours people perpetuate in the dating game nowadays. The book’s chapters follow the general trajectory of romantic relationships, covering Crushes, Flirting, Dating, Getting Serious, Breaking Up, Being Single, and Making Art. I have found myself wondering how I feel about dating in general because even though I’m attracted to (the idea of) men, in reality they’re mostly kind of trash so this felt validating, initially.īlythe Roberson, comedienne and satirical news writer (from The Onion, ClickHole, and the like) takes readers on a journey of her experiences and subsequent musings about the trials and tribulations of dating as a woman who is “trying to get men to kiss while not oppressing ” (Conclusion). The title was intriguing it came up in suggested reads when I put the hold on I’m Afraid of Men the cover was just as bright and drew me in.
