'This Is Not That Dawn' is remarkable in part for its careful and sensitive attention to women's lives - and also for its harsh critique of men and their failure to stop violence.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Dawn was written well before 9/11. People speak a lot today about the banality of evil, but not all evil is banal. Some of it is carefully structured and well-thought-out. That's where the real danger lies.
Most people do not consider dawn to be an attractive experience - unless they are still up.
'Dawn (Go Away)' is a sad lyric, but the melody is so happy and fun.
Each time dawn appears, the mystery is there in its entirety.
So much of contemporary crime fiction is painful to read and obsessed with violence, particularly against women, and I can't read that.
'The Night Watch' is a beautiful story about the pains of dealing with what you are.
For the mind disturbed, the still beauty of dawn is nature's finest balm.
Women are never the protagonists; we're always reactionary against everything that's done to us. I like people who write for women that have got a bit more about them.
Dawn: When men of reason go to bed.
The dawn is not distant, nor is the night starless; love is eternal.
