Law and Teaching After completing his education, Smith began teaching law at Queens University in Belfast, Northern Ireland. He left Africa when he was seventeen years old to continue his education in Scotland. The youngest ofįour children, Smith spent the whole of his childhood in Bulawayo and attended the Christian Brothers College there. His mother wrote a number of unpublished manuscripts. Growing Up in Africa Smith was born on August 24, 1948, in Bulawayo, Rhodesia (later known as Zimbabwe), where his father worked as a public prosecutor in what was then a British colony. Works in Biographical and Historical Context Readers and critics have been charmed by the stories, which are more about relationships, customs, and informal justice than sleuthing. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency (1998), became a best-selling novel in the United States after it was popularized by word of mouth. Smith also had in print numerous books of fiction for children and short-story collections before he published a series of detective stories set in Botswana. For example, he has written about the duty to rescue and the impact of medical advances on parental rights. A professor of medical law at Edinburgh University, Smith has published many works on medical ethics and criminal law.

Maté’s portraits of his clients are wrenching, despite the frequent glimpses of humanity that lurk beneath the lies, manipulations, and criminal behaviour. At the Portland, says Maté, “there is no chimera of redemption nor any expectation of socially acceptable outcomes, only an unsentimental recognition of the real needs of real human beings in the dingy present, based on a uniformly tragic past.”įor a generation reared on the feelgood platitudes of daytime TV talk shows, it’s a decidedly unglamorous reality. In fact, the formidable 400-plus pages here do not offer even one recovery story. The facility houses North America’s first supervised injection site, focusing on harm reduction rather than the nebulous aim of “fighting” addiction. Maté, a physician at the Portland Clinic in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, treats the hardest of hardcore substance abusers. Gabor Maté’s latest book is a sprawling but fascinating look at addiction that is part science, part diatribe, part character study, and part confessional. Orphaned Kitty Charing pretends to be engaged to the Hon. It’s also one of the Heyers in which the nobody enters the rich family and shows their quality by the performance of their values. Cotillion is a domestic Heyer, one that focuses on economics and expenditure as metaphors for character. However, it is absolutely one of my favourites, and recently, when I was suffering an overdose of dystopic and experimental science fiction, I had a very happy evening revelling in Heyerland again. I love these stylised Heinemann covers from the 1950sĬotillion is not one of Georgette Heyer’s most well-known novels, nor is it one of the famous ones that get trotted out when trying to explain Heyer’s appeal to newcomers.

Mystery writer Phillip Margolin makes two stops in Milwaukee to sign his books, including the new "Supreme Justice" (HarperCollins, $25.99), with private investigator Dana Cutler and some FBI chums probing skulduggery at the Supreme Court. But fans of McCauley's previous novels, including "The Object of My Affection," would tell you his genius is as much about how he writes as what he writes about. His newest, the wonderfully titled "Insignificant Others" (Simon & Schuster, $25), might be brutally summarized as a comedy of manners about men tiptoeing out on the down-low.
