Instead, this novel for adults is filled with a variety of people like Harry’s aunt and uncle, Petunia and Vernon Dursley: self-absorbed, small-minded, snobbish and judgmental folks, whose stories neither engage nor transport us.” - Michiko Kakutani, “Darkness and Death, No Magic to Help,” in The New York Times There is no magic in this book - in terms of wizarding or in terms of narrative sorcery. Rowling’s new novel, “The Casual Vacancy,” we are firmly in Muggle-land - about as far from the enchanted world of Harry Potter as we can get. So what do the critics have to say about Rowling’s novel?

But something about the death of JFK caught the public imagination. Much has been professionally written about every major event in the history of our young country. We learn about the Revolutionary War in history class and most of us lived through 9/11. Who would ever pass that up?įew events in American history are as talked about as the assassination of John F. Go back in time, fix one event or stop another from happening, and you fix everything that is wrong with the world. It is a way to experiment with “what if’s” and “maybes.” It is also the ultimate power fantasy. The amount of research it requires into past events rivals that of any nonfiction. But time travel, while infinitely interesting, is difficult to write about. We all know the great classics: A Sound of Thunder, The Time Machine, Doctor Who, etc. There is a certain allure about time travel, even though it is far from the most widespread literary genre.
