He made her blood boil in anger and got to her nerves every fucking time. He frustrates her. She hated him!  It all started with Elyse’s debut, she just hated his guts! They don’t get along well but ended up dating. Sevi has his ways of mocking and pissing her off. They supported each other academically, eventually, professionally. They’ve dated and become a couple that lasted for 5 years. During these years they’ve experienced pure bliss. Being with a man who’s a responsible son and brother, who supports and values her the most – what more can she ask for? He made her grow. She got a man who’s always in control. And a man who has a soft heart.

On the other hand, he got a woman who always makes him see the brighter side of every situation, she just knows what to say and never failed to choose the right words to pacify him. A woman who’s always proud of his every milestone and achievement, his safe haven, his breath of fresh air and his sweet escape in every hard and suffocating situation. HIS CHEERLEADER.

They were so comfortable with one another. Got used to seeing each other’s flaws. They’re just so perfect! They were so happy until the day that they seemed to have no time for each other, they’re full of struggles and problem seemed never ending, the day that her mom and his sibling died, and learning that his mother got abused. She had him begging not to leave, but turned out to ending their relationship- to rest, to get away from everything and to be better. It was one of the painful break up and goodbye.

On her return, after almost four years, as the CEO, she crossed the path again with one of the famous engineers of the country, her ex-boyfriend, Engr. Camero. Love is sweeter the second time around. It never faded. They just belong in each other’s arms! They’re the cutest couple before, and the best couple in their best version now!

Kudos to one of the best writers producing some of the country’s best stories – University Series. With your works, we just found ourselves giggling and weeping with the main lead. Made us think deeply about everything – about every action, decision and all. Your stories deserved to be in the “current reads” of every Wattpad reader. Thank you for giving birth (lol) and letting us meet Hiro, Kalix, Sevi, Yanna, Luna, Eli, and other significant characters. A REALLY REALLY BIG THANKS!

Book Review: Chasing Billy the Kid / Frank Stewart and the Untold Story of the Manhunt

Billy the Kid—“unquestionably New Mexico’s best-known citizen, past or present,” note authors Kurt House and Roy B. Young—is a name that flavors this book and so many others the way chile verde does Southwestern cuisine. But Chasing Billy the Kid is far more than another Kid book or, for that matter, another book featuring Pat Garrett, the lawman best known for chasing Billy, catching him at Stinking Spring in December 1880 and shooting him down in Fort Sumner in July 1881. House and Young, both members of the Wild West History Association (WWHA), argue that unsung lawman Frank Stewart co-led the posse that caught Billy and gang at Stinking Spring. Furthermore, they contend, that recognition was stolen from Stewart “by glory-seeking associates Garrett, Charlie Siringo and certain lesser lights” in the hunt for the infamous outlaw also known as William H. Bonney, Kid Antrim and Henry McCarty.

This impressive book came to fruition because House, a firearms expert and collector, acquired a factory-engraved, pearl-handled Colt revolver once presented to Stewart by a grateful hotel owner in Las Vegas, New Mexico Territory. House wanted to learn more about the man behind that prized Colt, so he and WWHA compatriot Young went about the challenging five-year task of discovering as much as possible about Stewart’s long and eventful life. For starters they learned “Frank Stewart” was an alias of German immigrant John Wallace Green, who was born Oct. 23, 1852, and immigrated to the United States with his parents in 1858. Why he took an alias is uncertain, but perhaps he’d wanted to keep his identity secret while working as a stock detective. Stewart received accolades for his prominent role in the pursuit and capture of the Kid, but that gratitude faded fast. His name was all but forgotten for 140 years, despite having served New Mexicans in many different roles, as detailed by the authors. Among other occupations, Stewart worked as a railroad detective, a deputy sheriff and a ranch foreman. He was also arrested for horse theft in 1887 and lived to tell the tale. He married at age 48 in September 1903. By then he’d returned to using his given name. Green died at age 83 on May 11, 1935, and lies in an unmarked grave.

With this 423-page tome the authors may have succeeded in restoring John Green/Frank Stewart to his rightful place in Western history. While the book serves well as the first biography of a fascinating Westerner, it also includes a wealth of information about the Kid and nuggets of information (much new) about a cast of Lincoln County War characters, including Secret Service Agent Azariah Faxon Wild and Billy’s pals Charlie Bowdre and Billie Wilson. In a valuable 45-page appendix the authors have something to say about many of the people involved in the lives of the Kid and Stewart/Green. Another interesting appendix covers the guns used by participants in the Lincoln County War. The book is loaded with photographs and documents, many from the vast collection of the late Bob McCubbin, to whom the authors dedicate the volume.

Reel Rundown: ‘Killer Lies: Chasing a True Crime Con Man’ gives true crime followers everything they need to know and more about con man

It’s clear that we live in a culture obsessed with crime. Stories about crime are all over the daily headlines, they make favorite themes for best-selling-book lists and they serve as common plotlines for movies and television shows.

In recent years, the interest in true-crime reporting has risen appreciably. Shows such as “Dateline,” “Forensic Files,” “Snapped” and so many others attract a large share of the TV audience. And let’s not even get started on true-crime podcasts, the number of which – according to one 2024 report – amounts to, amazingly enough, some 23,000.

How many of these, though, are based on credible science? TV’s “Forensic Files” works hard to prove its credentials. Still, with guys such as Stéphane Bourgoin out there providing media fodder, it should make any true-crime fan think twice about trusting so-called experts, especially those the media rely on.

Frenchman Bourgoin is the focus of the three-part documentary series “Killer Lies: Chasing a True Crime Con Man,” which was directed by Ben Selkow. The National Geographic Channel streaming series is based on a 2022 New Yorker magazine article written by Lauren Collins.

Titled “The Unravelling of an Expert on Serial Killers,” Collins’ article put forth a simple thesis: Bourgoin, a man who had built his reputation over decades, is a liar. Even worse, he’s a con man. And Selkow’s three-part documentary details every step of her investigation – albeit maybe a bit too slavishly.

Bourgoin emerged in the 1990s, claiming that an incident in 1976 had been the inspiration for his obsession with serial killers. That incident involved the murder of what, at various times, he identified as his “wife” or “partner,” whose butchered body he had discovered.

He used that story to ingratiate himself to other crime victims. And then he claimed not just to have been trained by the FBI but to have used that training to interview a number of serial killers – 77 by one account. His subsequent career saw him write some 75 best-selling books while participating in numerous TV, radio, online and in-person interviews.

And during each, he told much the same story. Several of his fans, though, began to doubt what he was saying. And a group of them combined to form what they called the 4th Eye Corporation, which published YouTube videos pointing to Bourgoin’s inconsistencies.

Pretty soon the media began to catch up as well. In 2020, the French magazine Paris Match published an article in which Bourgoin owned up to at least some of his fabrications. Other publications, including the New Yorker, followed suit.

All of this is documented in Selkow’s series, which resorts to the over-dramatized effect of having some of the 4th Eye members appear in disguise (one woman in a Mardi Gras-type mask) to protect their identities. Collins and several others, including Bourgoin himself, participate in talking-head interviews

The problem is that there is little need for “Killer Lies” to be spread over three installments. Selkow could easily have covered everything in a single one-hour episode.

And, too, the series fails in its attempts is to get at the heart of why Bourgoin lied in the first place. Even when Selkow and Collins confront Bourgoin on camera, he never really explains his motivations. Yes, he admits, he did make up things. But all writers do the same. And, he insists, at heart he is an honest man.

Of course, maybe it’s too much to expect something so definitive. It may be enough that “Killer Lies” makes it clear that con-man Bourgoin, even beyond his obsession with murder, can be considered a sad symbol of our time

“We are in the era of scams,” Selkow told a Vanity Fair magazine interviewer, “and that’s not going anywhere.”

Chapter 1. The Mistress Had a Miscarriage

At the hospital, where the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant, Amber Stone was in high spirits. She left the doctor’s office with a laboratory test report in her hands. Just when she was planning to make a phone call, her phone rang first. She picked it up and heard her uncle’s voice on the other side of the line. “Amber, is everything alright between you and Rodney Barron?” he asked.

“Yeah, we’re good, I guess? Why do you ask?” Amber asked in return.

“Well, because I’ve just heard that Rodney brought a pregnant woman to an antenatal check-up on the day before yesterday,” he answered frankly.

Amber burst out laughing and said, “Are you thinking that Rodney has a mistress out there?”

“Yes!” he responded.

“Don’t worry, even if all men in the world cheated, Rodney wouldn’t!” She was completely positive about it.

Amber ended the conversation with her uncle and proceeded to call Rodney. The phone rang for some time before it was picked up. “I’m extremely busy, so don’t bother me if there’s nothing. That’s it!” His voice sounded cold and emotionless. Before Amber could speak, he hung up the phone. Her heart froze while her hand gripped the lab test report. Her enthusiasm had wholly dissipated.

Amber and Rodney had since been married for three years. He had always been gentle with her, but there had been a drastic change in his attitude lately. Not only was he cold, he also became very impatient while answering her calls. What exactly changed Rodney so much?

She turned around while still absorbed in her thoughts. Then, a figure swayed before her and a soft voice sounded in her ear. “Hey, sister.” Amber turned her gaze in the direction of the voice and saw Celia Black, who had appeared next to her with a middle-aged woman.

Upon seeing Celia, the daughter of her father’s mistress, Amber frowned. “Don’t simply address me as your sister. I’m the only child my mother has ever given birth to!” Amber responded coldly with a look of disgust.

Unaffected by her demeanor, Celia smiled and gently asked, “Are you here to treat your infertility again, dear sister?”

“That’s none of your business,” retorted Amber.

“Aren’t you going to ask me why I’m here as well?” Celia smirked at Amber and continued, “I’m pregnant! The baby is Rodney’s!”

Only then did Amber noticed that Celia’s belly was a little rounder than before. Celia’s feelings for Rodney had always been extremely obvious. She did everything possible to seduce him before he tied the knot with Amber. “It seems to me that you’re not quite right in the head,” Amber sneered.

“You don’t believe me? How about you take a look at this then?” Celia showed her a medical consent form and her face turned pale as soon as she recognized the familiar handwriting on it. “Rodney’s signature? How could that be?” Amber was stupefied.

“Rodney and I got to spend the night together four months ago. He was so vigorous that he kept me up all night and then, I was pregnant!” Celia smirked proudly. “He really likes this child, you know. Let me give birth to this baby, then, you may resign as his wife!”

“B*tch!” Amber slapped Celia across the face as her body trembled with rage. All of a sudden, Celia fell to the ground and groaned, “Ouch, my belly!” Amber was shocked, she had only hit Celia’s face, but fresh blood could be seen leaking along her trousers. “How could it be?” Amber thought.

Celia was taken to the emergency room by the medical staffs. Having no courage to leave, Amber went after them as well.

After a few moments at the emergency unit, Amber heard footsteps coming towards her direction. It was Rachel Grant, Amber’s mother-in-law. Rachel’s eyes narrowed as she saw Amber. “What happened? Celia had been fine, but why is she in the emergency room now?”

“It was Miss. Stone. No, it was Mrs. Barron, she pushed her!” answered the middle-aged woman who was accompanying Celia earlier.

“You infertile b*tch! You yourself can’t give birth and are you not letting others do it too?” Rachel gave Amber a hard slap across the face, she had never liked her since the beginning. That slap was so strong that Amber’s face became swollen in a moment.

Before this, Amber had still thought that Celia was making up a story, but her mother-in-law’s attitude had made everything clear.

A sense of despair crept through Amber’s heart. She felt so suffocated as if she was about to faint. But at the same moment, the door of the operating room opened. A nurse came out and reported that Celia had a miscarriage.

The news made Rachel extremely furious. She charged towards Amber, punched and kicked her while grabbing her hair.

Amber was beaten till her vision became blurry and soon, she lost her consciousness.

When she woke up, all she could see was white. She tried to sit up, but it was uncomfortable because her body was aching so badly. Nevertheless, she managed to position herself to lean against the bedside. While she was still catching her breath, the door was pushed open and a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses entered the room.

“How do you do, Miss. Stone. I’m Mr. Barron’s lawyer.”

“A lawyer?” Amber looked at the man before her in astonishment.

“Precisely. I am Mr. Barron’s personal lawyer. Mr. Barron has entrusted me to discuss with you, Miss. Stone, about the divorce.”

“A divorce? Rodney wants a divorce?” Amber thought she must have misheard him.

The lawyer walked towards her and handed her a document. “This is the divorce settlement agreement. Do have a look.”

Amber’s hands were shaking. Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that Rodney would give her a divorce agreement one day. She refused to look at it. Instead, she turned her gaze to the lawyer and said, “Inform Rodney Barron to meet me and let him tell me in person!”

“Mr. Barron is a busy man, he’s not available!” stated the lawyer coldly.

“He’s busy? Unavailable?” Amber scoffed. Since when did her relationship with Rodney declined to this extent? She’s even prohibited from meeting him?

She grabbed her phone on the bedside table, dialed Rodney’s number, and waited with her eyes shut. To her surprise, the call couldn’t get through.

Since when did she and Rodney reached such a state? First, an affair and now, a divorce?

The lawyer was still there, waiting impatiently. “Miss. Stone, please take a look at the agreement. I’m very busy!”

The lawyer’s attitude said it all. During her marriage of three years, everyone associated with Rodney had treated her with respect. But now, the lawyer’s attitude was hard and cold. It was obvious that this was indeed Rodney’s intent.

Amber grabbed the divorce agreement and swept her gaze to the part regarding property division. Tears started welling up in her eyes as she read what was stated, “All property belonged to Rodney Barron before the marriage and so shall be excluded from the division.”

Rodney had once said that she was his everything and everything he possessed were hers. However, within just three years, their love was no more. Had Rodney finally revealed his true colors?

He had an affair behind her back and even got the mistress pregnant! Therefore, as the barren wife, she should make way, shouldn’t she? Amber’s heart was bitter to the uttermost. She stopped reading the agreement and shifted her gaze towards the lawyer who had been staring at her. “Give me a pen!”

The lawyer took out a pen from his briefcase and handed it to Amber. As she took the pen, he added, “Mr. Barron has said that you can’t take away any of the jewelry he bought for you!”

Amber stared ahead blankly and remained motionless for a long time. Just when the lawyer thought that she would refuse, she slowly said, “Okay!”

Immediately, she picked up the pen and signed her name on the divorce agreement.

The lawyer took the divorce agreement and examined it briefly before proceeding to leave.

In the parking lot of the hospital, there parked a luxurious Aston Martin. The window rolled down, revealing an extremely handsome face. The lawyer scurried towards the car and said respectfully, “Mr. Barron, madam has signed it!”

“She signed it?” The man articulated the words slowly, staring at the lawyer’s face with his brooding eyes.

Observing his uncertain expression, the lawyer felt a little nervous and thought he should reply something. However, he couldn’t say a word. The man shifted his gaze from the lawyer and turned to look at the night sky. After a while, he uttered, “You may leave!”

Picture This

'the dictionary story' is a kids' book that defies definition.

Samantha Balaban

Have you ever read a children's book where the main character is… the book?

Dictionary has noticed that even though her pages contain all the words that exist, she doesn’t really tell a story like all the other books on the shelf do. So one day, Dictionary decides to change that and bring her contents — guts? pages? definitions? — to life.

A hungry alligator bursts out of the pages ready for a snack — and finds a donut several pages later. But Donut doesn’t particularly want to be eaten, so he rolls off further into the alphabet. Alligator gives chase and the story soon goes off the rails — they crash into Queen who slips on Soap. And that’s all before Tornado shows up! Definitions go flying, no one is in the right place. Can Dictionary put herself back together again?

"It's a book about chaos. Chaos and order. Fine line," says Oliver Jeffers who — along with Sam Winston — wrote and illustrated The Dictionary Story. The two previously worked together on 2016’s A Child of Books (where the main character is a child, not a book). They’ve been working on The Dictionary Story pretty much ever since.

"But not working on it full time, seven years total" clarifies Oliver Jeffers. “Maybe if you were to add it all up, I don't know. I don't even want to think about that.”

(Sam Winston likes to joke that they knocked this one out in a week but he’s very much kidding — this book took work ).

For example, how do you make a book into a character that the children and adults reading the book can have a relationship with? "It was a real challenge because we had to literally make a book," explains Sam Winston. Luckily, his partner Haein Song is a bookbinder . "We had her literally make us two physical copies, which we then photographed and drew on and aged and then distressed in different ways." While the prop dictionary starts out all nice and new, by the end of the book she’s looking very beat up. "But it’s told a pretty wild story," says Winston.

Haein Song also sent Jeffers the paper that she used to bind the dummy book. "She sent enough of that to me that I was able to do the paintings on the same paper. So it looked seamless," Jeffers explains. Then he scanned the sheets of paper with his illustrations on them. The end result is a combination of photography, painting, ink handwriting, and typography, for the dictionary definitions.

Author Interviews

In this 'alphabet,' 'o' is for helpful owl and 'c' is for escapist cup.

"It looks like a real dictionary," says Jeffers. "But if you pay close attention, you'll see that all of the definitions have been rewritten." Like:

zero /ˈzɪərəʊ/ Zero is a word that means nothing . Nothing is a word that means nothing . Even though zero is a different word for nothing , both mean nothing . This definition has just told you nothing .

miracle /ˈ mɪr.ə.kl / Something that is amazing or magical for which there seems to be no scientific or common-sense explanation. Often associated with finding a parking space or getting homework done.

The definitions are not not true, but they are a little sideways.

As the characters in the book — like puddle /ˈpʌd.əl/ A small pool of water. Puddles are often made by rain and they love to look up at the sky — come to life (and, in Puddle’s case, make friends with Ghost), they disrupt the text on the page. Puddle, who Cloud made by crying, soaks through the definition for "power." Alligator makes a hole in the "a"s as he escapes from inside the book. When Queen slips on Soap, some of the "s" words go tumbling off the page entirely. Letters end up out of order, or jumbled up in a pile. Definitions are in the wrong column. Sentences go all wonky.

"The idea behind the book is that you’ve got this very rigid structure," Sam Winston says, of a typical dictionary. "So where some of the humor and the playfulness and the fun comes from is that this is a book doing something it shouldn’t do." Essentially, coming alive.

And to circle back to why it took Winston and Jeffers so many years to make this book: there’s not much software designed to do this in the way they needed it to be done. "Imagine a column of type in a newspaper accidentally becoming a waterfall of type," says Winston. "Everything gets knocked off its grid and its axis and out that waterfall emerges, say, a crocodile."

From 'F-Bomb' To 'Photobomb,' How The Dictionary Keeps Up With English

You'll probably never see that in a newspaper — or a normal, boring dictionary — because that is not what publishing software typically does. "We have all of these typographic structures that are not meant to be bent and then to bend them is like cutting out thousands of single letters and then sticking them back on the page," Winston says.

There was a lot of back and forth to get to the finished product — a lot of half completing drawings and half writing definitions, and then a lot of destroying an illustration and or a definition and sending it back again.

"It's a dance," says Sam Winston. "But you know, we like it. There's a lot of trust in the room, so we have fun."

And, by the way, the story itself is fun. While a lot of thought and work and planning went into making it, at its heart The Dictionary Story is just a good old fashioned chase story with a lot of chaos and a heartwarming ending (can Dictionary put herself back together? Maybe with a little help from some friends!)

"I think what you're looking at when you see these books are two individuals who have a deep respect for storytelling and the physical objects of books. Having fun together and playing well together and sharing that with the world," agrees Oliver Jeffers. "It's a pure joy."

Nicole Kidman’s Sexy, Prickly Babygirl Is Utterly Thrilling

You have to hand it to Nicole Kidman: in recent months, she (along with The Idea of You ’s Anne Hathaway) has been spearheading the current renaissance of May-December relationship movies involving glamorous older women and dashing young men—and, in her case, doing double duty. First came Netflix’s A Family Affair with Zac Efron, and now there’s Babygirl , Halina Reijn’s sultry workplace thriller co-starring the always excellent Harris Dickinson, which just debuted at the Venice Film Festival . Both films are deeply and wonderfully unserious but, beyond that, it’s probably unfair to compare them. The first is disposable fluff, while the second is a mile-a-minute romp which thrills and unsettles in equal measure, and provides plenty to get your teeth into.

I would hesitate to call it a romance , though— Babygirl is about lust , pure and simple. It opens—and ends—with an orgasm, delivered with complete commitment and lack of self-consciousness by our leading lady, who is simply sensational here, in one of the meatiest parts she’s had in years. But, we quickly realize, she’s faking it. After her doting husband (Antonio Banderas) finishes, she rushes to the other room, opens her laptop, and watches some porn involving a girl with a baby voice calling a guy “daddy” before bringing herself to climax.

In a way, it makes sense. She is Romy Mathis, the high-powered CEO of a robotics company, forever glued to her phone, chairing meetings, and making crucial decisions, while also raising two young daughters and constantly reassuring her husband about his abilities as a theater director. So, it’s understandable that she might not always feel like taking charge in the bedroom, too—she wants to be taken .

Enter: Dickinson’s Samuel, one of the new interns at Romy’s company whom she spots outside the building. When a rabid dog runs towards her on the street, everyone steps back, but he steps forward. As he holds, strokes, and calms her, Romy looks on, intrigued. From the outset, he proves to be different from the rest of his cohort—a somewhat contradictory yet entirely believable and uniquely Gen Z combination of bullishness and acute social awareness. He asks difficult questions; he keeps interrupting her; he takes it upon himself to choose her as his company mentor and arrange meetings with her.

She, in turn, begins fantasizing about him. She watches him dance with girls his own age at the office Christmas party and, the morning after, finds his tie lying on the floor. She takes it to her office and stuffs it into her mouth, hungry for danger, transgression, and the rush that comes with knowing that, in one swift move, you could blow up your entire life.

It all comes to a head in their one-to-one, when Samuel offers Romy his assessment of her: “I think you like being told what to do.” She’s outraged and electrified, they kiss, and neither knows exactly where they stand. A game of cat and mouse ensues: Samuel sends Romy a glass of milk at a work drinks, she downs it, and when she picks up the check for the whole team, he whispers “Good girl” into her ear—the same phrase he used to soothe that agitated dog. He then invites her to a hotel room for their next “meeting.” She obliges, but when she begins a speech about how inappropriate their relationship has become, it almost sounds like foreplay–like the dialogue from the porn she consumes so ravenously.

What follows is as hot as it is hilariously confusing. Neither know exactly what to do or what they want; Romy attempts to leave but then comes back; they try things and, before you know it, she’s on all fours. After her orgasm, she clings to Samuel like a baby. It’s unclear who’s actually in charge—Romy tells Samuel that she doesn’t want to hurt him, and he insists that he has power over her. He only has to say the word, and she’d be fired.

And thus a torrid affair begins, further complicated by Samuel’s increasing interactions with Romy’s family, as well as his budding romance with another colleague, Romy’s ambitious assistant (Sophie Wilde). In one of the film’s funniest scenes, a jealous Romy warns her young protégé against the relationship, saying it could be perceived as an abuse of power. There’s also, of course, the constant, simmering threat of Samuel changing his mind, reporting Romy for real, and destroying her career—a notion which seems to both horrify and excite her.

I fear Kidman’s audacious turn—slippery, insatiable, reckless and then painfully vulnerable—might prove too much for the Academy, but it’s one that demands to be seen. Yes, she crouches down on the floor to drink milk from a saucer and performs a striptease for her 20-something subordinate, but she somehow does it all while also making Romy feel like a conflicted, flawed, flesh-and-blood woman when it could all so easily have been parodic.

And she leaves absolutely nothing on the table. Much will (and should) be written about her utterly fearless sex scenes, but there are plenty of other sequences which leave her equally exposed: In one, Romy is shown getting botox, and in another, her teenage daughter (Esther McGregor) tells her she looks like a dead fish, pushing her own lips together in an exaggerated pout to mimic her. Later, we see Romy nervously scrutinizing her own reflection. There is certainly a sense of validation that she gets from being desired by Samuel, but to Reijn’s credit, her razor-sharp script resists spelling this out. Commendably, it also refrains from using a specific childhood trauma to explain away Romy’s proclivities. We learn that she was raised in a cult—and there are brief, disorientating flashbacks to that chaotic period—but that adds texture, rather than offering answers.

Dickinson is just as difficult to pin down. His domineering, self-assured Samuel is no victim, but as he gets to know Romy better, a strange and unexpected tenderness emerges, too. In one moment, he’s shown dancing in slow motion, his tattoos exposed and his innate swagger intoxicating; in another, he gently asks Romy to hold him. In one of the film’s final scenes, Banderas’s beleaguered husband laments that female masochism is a male fantasy. Samuel scoffs. “That’s a dated idea,” he counters, ever that indelible mix of brash and sensitive. He, Kidman, and Reijn deserve all the plaudits, as does Cristobal Tapia de Veer for his expertly tension-building score. (As I waited for the water bus after my screening, I heard someone humming it in front of me in the queue—always the highest compliment.)

Admittedly, Babygirl isn’t for everyone. It has divided critics and, even at the glittering premiere, as throngs cheered for the cast as the credits rolled, there were many others who slipped out, shaking their heads. Like all the other May-December films before it, it’s guaranteed to spark debate and inspire derision when it hits screens later this year—but, rest assured, it knows exactly what it’s doing. This is a thorny, unflinching declaration of raw female desire—and it is entirely shameless.

Wild Houses Kindle Edition

The riotous, raucous and deeply resonant debut novel from “one of the best story writers in the English language today” ( Financial Times ) Wild Houses follows two outsiders caught in the crosshairs of a small-town revenge kidnapping gone awry

With his acclaimed and award-winning collections Young Skins and Homesickness Colin Barrett cemented his reputation as one of contemporary Irish literature’s most daring stylists. Praised by the Oprah Daily as “a doyen of the sentence,” and by the Los Angeles Times as a writer of “unique genius,” Barrett now expands his canvas with a debut novel that contains as much grit, plot, and linguistic energy as any of his celebrated short stories.

As Ballina prepares for its biggest weekend of the year, introspective loner Dev answers his door on Friday night to find Doll English— younger brother of small-time local dealer Cillian English—bruised and in the clutches of Gabe and Sketch Ferdia, County Mayo’s fraternal enforcers and Dev’s cousins. Dev’s quiet homelife is upturned as he is quickly and unwillingly drawn headlong into the Ferdias' frenetic revenge plot against Cillian. Meanwhile, Doll’s girlfriend, seventeen-year-old Nicky, reeling from a fractious Friday and plagued by ghosts and tragedy of her own, sets out on a feverish mission to save Doll, even as she questions her future in Ballina.

Set against Barrett’s trademark depictions of small town Irish life, Wild Houses is thrillingly-told story of two outsiders striving to find themselves as their worlds collapse in chaos and violence.

Editorial Reviews

Praise for Wild Houses

“Barrett’s dialogue, spiked with the timbre of Irish speech and shards of local slang, makes these characters sound so close you’ll be wiping their spittle off your face… Despite moments of violence that tear through the plot, the most arresting scenes are those of anticipated brutality, perfectly drawn vignettes that capture the lives of people caught in this deadly trade… Clearly, those years of writing short stories have given Barrett an appreciation for how fit every sentence must be; there isn’t a slacker in this trim book. Even the asides and flashbacks hurtle the whole project forward toward a climax that feels equally tensile and poignant, like some strange cloak woven from wire and wool.” — Ron Charles, Washington Post

“A heartbreaker of a debut novel… Nicky — and her quest — is the soul of this fine novel. In Colin Barrett’s nimble hands… the lives of a small collective of mournful souls become vibrant before us, and their yearning is depicted with wistfulness, no small amount of humor and one dangerously ill-tempered goat.” — Dennis Lehane, New York Times Book Review

“[A] short, deftly written novel… The kidnapping serves as a binding device, bringing together a small, carefully drawn cast of characters under unusual, high-pressure circumstances… The release of that pressure is sometimes violent, but it is also revelatory.” — New Yorker

“Barrett soars into the tier of Kevin Barry and Sally Rooney, both influences, but his grim yet tender vision of humanity distinguishes his tale… Wild Houses is akin to a Yo-Yo Ma concert at Carnegie Hall: Barrett's pitch is perfect, the acoustics divine. He metes out his dialogue in syncopated bits, reminiscent of Barry but less slapstick. While a cheeky humor thrums throughout the novel, Barrett isn't particularly interested in redemption or even plain decency… Unfurls like a controlled detonation, rich with wonder and catharsis.” — Hamilton Cain, Minneapolis Star Tribune

“Memorable, character driven, and distinguished by the author's beautiful style… This carefully plotted novel, with its superbly realized Irish setting, is a generous gift to readers.” — Booklist (starred review)

“Irish writing is on fire and full of ballsy young upstarts like Barrett. This dark, raucous debut novel is about two outsiders who get caught up in a kidnapping in small-town Ireland. Expect drugs, wild parties and revenge, as well as rich language and vibrant characters.” — Sunday Times

“Ever since Barrett’s short-story collection Young Skins appeared in 2014, the publishing world has been awaiting his novel. Edgy and sharp, it’s a tale of a kidnap and small-time drug dealers in County Mayo. Sally Rooney and Anne Enright are fans, which tells you something.” — Financial Times

“Another year, another rush of novels by hot Irish talent. Barrett has already produced two rapturously received short story collections. This, his debut novel, centres on the kidnapping of a teenage boy in a west Ireland town, before spooling outwards to explore its impact on those who know him. His short stories prove Barrett knows how to craft a beautiful sentence that simmers with impending violence. This nastily slow-burn chiller is shaping up to be one of the novels of the year.” — Daily Mail

“Another much-anticipated Irish debut is Colin Barrett’s raucous Wild Houses , about two unfortunate recluses who are dragged into the surreal and violent underbelly of their small town.” — I-D

“A humour-inflected revenge fantasy involving interactions between dealers, enforcers and various other locals in a small Irish town.” – Globe and Mail

“A remarkably resonant portrait of everyday lives in Ireland. Barrett’s gritty and raucous first novel features the hallmarks of his acclaimed short story collections Homesickness (a New York Times Best Book) and Young Skins : linguistic dexterity in the service of fully realized characters and vivid depictions of hard-scrabble small-town Irish life.” — Library Journal

“This strange and beautiful novel brings to life an entire world. Wild Houses is a book not just to read but to live inside.”— Sally Rooney

“Vivid, controlled, very funny, and very moving - Barrett has the kind of pure writing chops that are vanishingly rare.” — Kevin Barry

"Colin Barrett quietly, insistently, writes so deeply into his characters you could reach out and touch them. Wild Houses is a gift of true storytelling and Barrett’s talent burns up the page.”— Anne Enright

"Wild Houses is swift, tender, and honest. It’s been a long time since I’ve been so worried, so heartbroken, so moved by a set of funny misfits. Barrett is one of our keenest observers of the miraculous amid the everyday and of the uncommon beauty of common things, the power of attention. When I finished this novel, I desperately wanted to call Dev, Doll, or Nicky, just to see if they were okay, to see if everything had turned out alright. A brilliant novel." — Brandon Taylor

“ Wild Houses has a rare momentum that comes from the rhythms of the sentences, the vivid descriptions and the brilliantly chosen details. The momentum emerges also from the depth and complexity of the main characters and the wide sweep of the narrative. In a small town in the west of Ireland over a few days, a whole world, memorable and edgy, is captured for the reader.” — Colm Tóibín

“Vivid and wild, funny and chilling – Wild Houses is the business.” — Roddy Doyle

“Colin Barrett proved with his short stories that he's not only one of the most stylistically gifted writers working now, but also one of the most generous. His first novel, Wild Houses , is deft, intricate, unique — restorative in its refusal to be anything but itself. He is a talent of the rarest kind.” — Nicole Flattery

“Colin Barrett made us wait for this one, and it was worth it. Sharp and affecting, expansive and playful, Barrett has written a gorgeous novel filled with gorgeous sentences. A dream to read, and no doubt destined to be one of the novels of the year.” —Michael Magee, author of Close to Home

Praise for Colin Barrett

“[Barrett] writes what he knows, but he also writes to discover what he doesn’t know, a simple but crucial distinction you can sense instinctively, no matter how many of his compatriots you’ve already read.”— Los Angeles Times

“Exact and poetic… One sign of [Barrett’s] striking maturity as a writer is that his characters stay in character… Mr. Barrett does foundational things exceedingly well — structure, choices of (and switches in) perspective — without drawing attention to them… His judgment is better than authoritative; it is imaginative and enlarging.” — New York Times

“Superb… There is an utterness to his attention, a devotion to the lives of his characters, that shifts the work into some more lasting place. Barrett is already one of the leading writers of the Irish short story, which is to braggingly say, one of the leading writers of the short story anywhere. He means every word and regrets every word. He just kills it.” — Guardian

“Barrett’s voice, though bolstered by Irish tradition, is entirely his own.” — New Yorker

“Many a writer claims mastery of technique, but few deliver at the level of Colin Barrett, whose roving perspectives, lopped-off endings and Kevin Barry-esque dialogue dazzle…Barrett is a doyen of the sentence; each snaps and sings like a bullwhip.”— Oprah Daily

“No matter how grim a given scene by Barrett can get, it’s a thrill to be alive to hear him.” ― Paris Review

“Barrett proves that writing what you know can yield subversive and innovative results.”― Bustle

“Barrett simply outwrites many of his peers with a chilling confidence that suggests there is far more beneath the surface than merely the viciously effective black humour.” ― Irish Times

“Mesmerizingly powerful… I’ve learned so much from Colin Barrett’s work as a reader and writer.” — Sally Rooney

“Colin Barrett, like all great storytellers, has the ability to weave a broader chronicle of Ireland out of stories that remain intimate, powerful and regional. Out of the local, the universal appears. He defines the many shades of the present time and suggests a compelling future. He is a writer to savour and look out for.” ― Colum McCann

“Language, structure, style — Colin Barrett has all the weapons at his disposal.” ― Kevin Barry

“No story writer at work today thrills me more than Colin Barrett, whose characters feel immediately so familiar and true in their capacity to maim and love.” — Brandon Taylor
