But here it is, a book that tells the truth about the real-life hurdles many people face trying to adopt a gluten free lifestyle. ![]() And once upon a time, she never thought she'd write a book that would find humor in her gastrointestinal malfunctions, her abdominal pain, her bloating, her foggy brain, and her chronic fatigue. When Delise Dickard was a little girl she began her first “Once upon a time…” She never imagined then that the main character in her first published book would be a protein composite called "gluten." She never imagined her journey would bring her to interview world-renowned, scientific experts on the human gut. Written with wry humor, and poignant prose, this is a unique memoir - one of the first ever written from the perspective of someone suffering from non-celiac gluten sensitivity. ![]()

![]() ![]() In 1904, Warren gave Sinclair a $500 advance (the equivalent of about $14,000 in today’s dollars) to pen a similar novel about the problem of “wage slavery” in industrialized cities. Warren, admired Sinclair’s fourth novel, Manassas, a historical epic set in the Civil War that was written as a salute to the abolitionist movement. One year later, Sinclair established himself as a regular contributor to Appeal to Reason, America’s leading socialist newspaper. His politics veered leftward with age, and by 1903, he had become a socialist. Sinclair’s first novel-a romance titled Springtime and Harvest-was released in 1901. While enrolled at the City College of New York, the future Pulitzer Prize-winner supported himself by writing jokes and short stories for assorted newspapers. Upton Sinclair, who was born in 1878, began his literary career as a teenager. ![]() ![]() The Jungle was commissioned by a socialist newspaper editor. Grab a barf bag and join us as we take a fresh look at Sinclair’s gut-wrenching magnum opus. The book certainly did both of those things-but for reasons that its author didn’t quite expect. Upton Sinclair conceived The Jungle as a political game-changer, a book that would get people talking and instigate major reforms. ![]() ![]() ![]() Wilde has such a gift with phrasing, I always think about how parallel he seems to me with Ryan Adams.

Cam doesn’t complain about the basic gift (despite the cruel teasing of his neighbour, a boy named Marcus) – he knows his dad is making the best out of a bad situation. Mike returns home to give his son Cam his birthday present. It all sounds very Gremlins and, just like in that film, the rules are inevitably going to be broken. There are always rules with these kinds of things! Mike can make whatever he wants (a submarine, a monster, a train!) but all unused scraps must be returned and he can’t ask for more cardboard. Mike only has seventy-eight cents in his pocket – which just so happens to be the price of an empty cardboard box Mr Gideon is selling.

Machines Like Me shares with The Children Act and Enduring Love a punning title, to which, like the others, its plot earns it the right. But the products, easy to read, are just as easy to forget, leaving behind no more than a memory of a generically McEwan-esque plot of concealment, deception, and trauma, tinged always with a sense of the uncanny. They come, as he has put it, from his discovery of “how realism could be bolstered by the actual”. McEwan is a gifted enough craftsman for the novels to feel like real novels, not veiled essays. They have seemed like occasional writings, responses to current affairs and its “themes”: humanitarian intervention, blood transfusions for the children of Jehovah’s Witnesses, the CIA and the Cold War, climate change. The books have been getting thinner, and not just physically. Ian McEwan’s literary production since his last really excellent book – Atonement, from 2001 – has shown a tendency to progressive emaciation. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Department’s full list of systems of records notices can be found on the Department’s website at.
