The Backyard Bird Chronicles by Amy Tan: Why you should season your bird feed with red-hot pepper
The Backyard Bird Chronicles by Amy Tan (Corsair £20, 320pp) I am in danger of becoming even more obnoxiously bird proud,' the novelist Amy Tan gloats after posting a video of a Bewick's wren splashing about in a pool in her garden. In the birding world this is the equivalent of a paparazzo shot of the Princess of Wales in a bikini, since this is a bird that has rarely been seen to bathe in water. Tan is a full-blown bird obsessive, though curiously until she was in her mid-60s she had little interest in them. That changed when she started taking nature drawing classes with a teacher whose advice was: 'as you look at the bird, try to feel the life within it'. Tan saw the parallels with her job as a novelist, because 'I always imagine I am the character I am creating'. As her drawings improved, so did her ability to recognise the birds. It dawned on her that she didn't need to venture into the countryside to observe birds; she had her own wildlife paradise right in her garden in California. Tan's house is nestled among four ancient oaks that are a 'community hub' for dozens of types of birds. Her garden is full of things birds like: dense tree cover, a nectar-bearing fuchsia shrub, passion fruit, jasmine, ivy, lemon trees and plenty of water. If she were selling this house to a bird, she muses, she would point out the rain runoff from the roof terrace, 'on which a little bird and its growing family can perch while drinking and enjoying a view of San Francisco Bay'. Her journal entries, starting in 2017, track her fascination with the comings and goings of her avian visitors. Soon she is noting down the names of more than 60 types of birds in her garden, from finches, sparrows and thrushes to hummingbirds, woodpeckers, owls, hawks and waxwings. Tan doesn't just enjoy the birds, she has a novelist's curiosity to work out what the dynamics of their relationships are and she frequently imagines conversations between them. Her anthropomorphism means that at times this book veers perilously close to tweeness, but this is more than offset by Tan's bird drawings, which capture them in all their feathered splendour. She puts up more and more feeders throughout the garden and constantly experiments with the best food with which to lure the birds. They love suet but so do the cunning, acrobatic squirrels. Eventually she discovers suet studded with hot pepper – 'inferno-strength stuff' – that has no effect on the birds but is loathed by the squirrels. Mealworms are also a big success, and soon Tan has 3,000 living in a container in her fridge, along with a bird corpse in the freezer (a local university wants it for their scientific collection). 'I have a very understanding husband,' she writes. Tan tries to persuade her nine-year-old neighbour to set up a mealworm-breeding business so she can source them more cheaply. Disappointingly, his mother vetoes the idea. Even if some of the bird names are unfamiliar to a British reader, this is a lovely book for anyone with even a passing interest in birds. You can understand why she finds observing the birds in her 'backyard' such an all-absorbing pastime. If she has learned one thing, it's that 'each bird is surprising and thrilling in its own way'.

Migraine by Samuel Fisher: A world of pain
Migraine Author : Samuel Fisher ISBN-13 : 978-1472158284 Publisher : Corsair Guideline Price : £16.99 ''I always get this way after a migraine. Mood swings. Excitable, euphoric even. Then I have to piss. A huge amount. Then I get depressed.'' Extreme weather conditions have precipitated a mass-disabling event. Following a decade of snow, a thaw has occurred, accompanied by storms and barometric changes, that have led to an epidemic of migraine. Society has reordered to adjust to this new world, and Ellis's ex-girlfriend, a viral migraine-artist, has reaped the benefit. Ellis, on the other hand, was one of few Londoners not to experience migraine; a source of mutual tension. However, the onset of his first attack precipitates a period of postdromal soul-searching, and a psychogeographic quest to win back his woman. Fisher has made a wise choice in exploring migraine by means of climate collapse. In so doing, the author captures the archetypal nature of the neurological condition that swells, peaks and descends with the energy of a storm. His descriptions of migraine are lyrical, and wisely move beyond the narrow representation of migraine as solely a pain disorder, to instead encompass the 'wild affective states' or 'visual and haptic hallucinations', known commonly as migraine 'aura'. READ MORE 'There was a giddiness, buffeted by a rising panic, as the lights – are they lights? Or absences banded with light – whirled in my periphery.' Most impressive is Fisher's ability to transmute the uncanny energy of a migraine attack to the page through his disorientating prose. It is this same disorientating effect, however, that presents a challenge to other elements of the novel. Marketing material suggests that Migraine explores what a society might look like if chronic pain were the norm. However, by the end of the book, Fisher's vision for such a society remains fuzzy, a paradox between the uncanny 'aura' of this world, and the affirming language he uses to describe it. Were this novel to be adapted for screen, I cannot envisage how the world may look. Migraine concludes with a poignant reflection upon the ability of illness to open pathways to vulnerability that can serve to enrich the lives of the sick and those around them. It is affecting, as is much of Fisher's prose. However, if the neurological condition is not a subject of interest, the reader may find Migraine to be, ultimately, an unsatisfying experience.

This week's literary fiction: MEN IN LOVE by Irvine Welsh, SEASCRAPER by Benjamin Wood, MIGRAINE by Samuel Fisher
MEN IN LOVE by Irvine Welsh (Cape £20, 544pp) In 2017, Welsh said he'd never write another novel about the characters from Trainspotting, but who truly believed him? Men In Love follows the old gang of heroin-addicted benefit cheats – Renton, Sick Boy and Spud, together with psychotic hardman frenemy Begbie – into the Nineties, each going their own way after Renton sneakily pockets the shared proceeds of a drugs heist. He's in Amsterdam, Begbie's in jail, Spud is trying to go straight and Sick Boy is prowling for sex... business as usual, then, as Welsh knits their stream-of-consciousness chapters around a farce involving Sick Boy's bid to worm his way into the heart of a civil servant's daughter. Cartoonish and often in terrible taste, it works, because these characters remain alive on the page, more than 30 years on. SEASCRAPER by Benjamin Wood (Viking £14.99, 176pp) I loved Wood's Eighties-set novel, A Station On The Path To Somewhere Better, the chilling story of a boy's catastrophic day out with his estranged dad, a set designer on his favourite TV show. Themes of illusory promise resurface in his new novel, another wrong-footing and enormously compelling coming-of-age narrative. Set in the early 1960s on the Kentish coast, it follows a stifled young man who lives with his mum and earns his keep by scraping shrimp from the beach, dreaming about a girl he doesn't have the courage to ask out. His fortunes change when a Hollywood director pays him an untold sum to scout locations for a new film. The deal isn't all it seems – but nor is this novel, which drifts from quiet lyricism into a weirder, more hallucinatory style as we delve deeper into the protagonist's haunted interiority. MIGRAINE by Samuel Fisher (Corsair £13.99, 192 pp) Fisher's third novel, a standalone follow-up to his 2022 climate dystopia Wivenhoe, transports us to a richly imagined near-future London battered by storms that cause mind-expanding headaches. The narrator, Ellis, having suffered his first migraine, roams the emptied streets in search of an ex-girlfriend who had them frequently. As he searches for her, accompanied by a shadowy bookseller who knows more about Ellis's past than he lets on, the novel portrays the social divisions and conspiratorial worldviews that take root as a result of the city's competing experiences of the mysterious chronic pain. If the texture of Fisher's speculative scenario holds attention, extra compulsion lies in the emerging story of lost love and buried guilt. Elegiac, languid, interrogatory, it resembles a cross between the cyberpunk of William Gibson and the psychogeography of Iain Sinclair.
