Real Estate by Deborah Levy review Susannah Butter
Deborah Levy is in a reflective mood in Real Estate, the third and final part of her living biography series. Her sixtieth birthday is approaching, which is making her wonder what she would like the rest of her life to look like. She feels compelled to think about her legacy but hits a stumbling block; the problem that drives this book is that she can’t work out what she wants.
Her conundrum is summed up in a passage where she imagines Marmee from Little Women coming to a fictional café that Levy and her two daughters have invented called Girls & Women. Levy wonders whether she will serve Marmee the house entree of Vodka & Cigarettes or conjure a healthier dish. She can’t decide and what starts as a fun thought experiment ends up articulating what Real Estate is grappling with: You never know what a woman really wants because she is always being told what she wants.”
R-Type is back! It is perhaps not the best
R-Type, but it is certainly
R-Type. Really nice to be playing a brand new entry in this classic series, and one that seems to have been a serious passion project at that. However, I would be remiss in my duties if I failed to mention that this Switch version is quite rough. The framerate bounces up and down depending on what’s happening on-screen, and the load times are significant, even between deaths. Those are two things you really don’t want to see in a shoot-em-up in particular. Can you still have fun with it? Sure, if you can tolerate framerate dips and generally iffy technical performance, there’s a good shooter in here. But if you have any other option, you should take it.
