Moving between Toronto and Trinidad, Wild Fires is a vivid and compelling story exploring the ways we mourn and why we avoid the very things that can save us. To Toronto and the big house on Florence Street, where her sisters are hiding more than themselves in their rooms, where the tension brewing between her mother and aunts has been decades in the making, and where sooner or later every secret, unspoken word and painful memory will find its way out into the open. When a call from one of her sisters brings Cassandra news of Chevy's death, she has to return home for the funeral. The only things Cassandra knows about her family are the stories she's heard in snatches over the years: about the aunt and cousin she never got to meet, about the man from the folded-up photograph in one of her aunt's drawers, and of course about her cousin Chevy, and why he never speaks - but no one utters a word about them any more. It may seem, at first glance, to not be our usual fare here at Reader Dad, but there is a sort of bleak undercurrent that runs throughout the novel, as Jai examines what family is, and how being with our family changes us, and not always for the better. Grief is like an inside joke: you have to have been there to really get it. Sophie Jai’s first novel, Wild Fires, is nothing less than a triumph. Finally, I revised and updated the text for an English translation by Jean Birrell that was published by Cambridge University Press in their Past and Present series, in 2009, under the title The Inquisition.

The Portuguese version, written in parallel with the French revision, was published in Portugal by Círculo de Leitores in 1994 and in Brazil by Companhia das Letras in 2000. The original text was written in French and was published by Fayard in 1995. 1 The Inquisition: A Global History 1478-1834 was the result of an in-depth revision of the PhD dissertation I presented to the European University Institute in 1992. “ compelling and sometimes hair-raising account of what it meant to throw in your future with a large corporation in hopes of translating that effort into units sold-and the promise of a career in rock.” It doesn’t paint major labels as the enemy of punk or the saviors it just tells a fascinating history of an era of punk that can’t be talked about without diving into the impact of major labels.” “ SELLOUT succeeds because it doesn’t sway you to think one way or another. “In this worthy successor to Michael Azerrad's Our Band Could Be Your Life, Ozzi follows 11 groups from the AOL dial-up days to the dawn of social media, chronicling major label success (My Chemical Romance, Blink-182) and collapse (Jawbreaker, At the Drive-in).” “Based on a trove of original interviews and personal stories from band members and other crucial players, Ozzi examines how 11 groups - from Green Day and Blink-182 to At the Drive-In, Thursday, and Against Me! - grappled with the tension between punk’s core tenets and major label possibilities, and parses what success and failure looked like in this fraught realm.” “ looked at the major label debuts of different bands in this genre, tracing a music industry in flux, fans betrayed by their idols, and bands trying to navigate the machine.” “Engrossing… a rigorously researched look at how labels targeted bands and fought to sign them.” But as conspiracies unfold within the collegium walls, and the body count rises, Mia will be forced to choose between loyalty and revenge, and uncover a secret that could change the very face of her world. Upon the sands of the arena, Mia finds new allies, bitter rivals, and more questions about her strange affinity for the shadows. It will be followed by Darkdawn, the final installment of the trilogy. When it’s announced that Scaeva and Duomo will be making a rare public appearance at the conclusion of the grand games in Godsgrave, Mia defies the Church and sells herself to a gladiatorial collegium for a chance to finally end them.
