Work by Claud Cockburn, Beryl Bainbridge, Harold Pinter, Sara Maitland, Bruce Chatwin, Peter Wollen and Philip Roth also featured. Tennant has said, “ Bananas had a long-term effect on British literary audiences by taking the word ‘Review’ away from the concept of a literary magazine and insisting on original fiction it insisted too on wit and jokes and irreverence.”Ĭontributors to Bananas included Angela Carter (who originally wrote the short story " The Company of Wolves" for the magazine), Heathcote Williams, Ruth Fainlight and Ted Hughes. Tennant believed this lent Bananas’ literary content more immediacy and addressed the readership's appetite for culture in a contemporary media form. Quality and innovation helped to distinguish Bananas, but the magazine also appeared in an unusual format, that of a tabloid newspaper. ![]() Tennant chose to name the magazine after the motion picture Bananas (1971), directed by Woody Allen.

Her mother says it's mice, her brother says bats, and her father says what everyone seems to say, "If the wolves come out of the walls, it's all over." Lucy remains convinced, as is her beloved pig-puppet, and her worst fears are confirmed when the wolves actually do come out of the walls. Lucy hears wolves hustling, bustling, crinkling, and crackling in the walls of the old house where her family lives, but no one believes her. Sure, the story is fairytale-like and presented in a jaunty, casually nonsensical way, but it is absolutely the stuff of nightmares. Truth be told, Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean's picture book The Wolves in the Walls is terrifying. ![]() ![]() ![]() Kerry MacGregor’s future is derailed when, after two years in college in New York City, family obligations call her home to the beautiful Appalachians.

I loved Ella’s background story and how she came to the Royal household, but man her reception by the boys was COLD. Sometimes I shy away from high school romance books because they read “too adult” in my mind, or they fit too much in the bully romance category, but this one was so, so good. I definitely did not expect a cliffhanger but that just means I’m on to book 2. Wow! This book was so much more than I expected. Now Ella has to learn to survive her new prep school, the wrath of the Royal boys, the deception around her and not fall for the ruthless of them all- Reed. The Royal boys hate her on the spot, but none more so than Reed. That is until Callum Royal uproots her life and plops her into his mansion amongst his own five sons. ![]() She’s survived drifting from town to town with her mother all her life, but since her mother’s passing she’s been supporting herself.
