Table of contents

Joseph was 11th of 12 sons of a wealthy nomad Jacob and his second wife Rachel. His story is told in the book of Genesis Joseph was very much loved by Jacob because he had been born to him in his old age.

Crossroads of Bones

He was given a special gift by his father - a richly ornamented coat. This favouritism wasn't well received by his brothers. Anthropologists today have found that this sibling rivalry is a common by-product of polygamous marriages. Children were often born by different wives, and each wife wanted the best for their child.

Dragon Bones

The Bible tells us that Joseph and Benjamin are the sons of Jacob's second wife, while all the other sons are from different wives. Being given a special coat would have only fuelled the brothers' jealousy.

The dreaming of the bones

The choice of colours in the coat held great prestige. In the ancient world colour was a precious commodity and vivid colours such as red and purple were held in high esteem, as it was very costly to create the dyes. Joseph's coat of red and purple reinforced the message to his brothers that he was Jacob's favourite. Joseph's brothers were also suspicious of the strange and vivid dreams he had and did not like the interpretations he told them.

Dreams of Gods and Monsters by Laini Taylor

His brothers eventually took their revenge by selling Joseph as a slave to passing merchants. While Joseph was being taken to Egypt, his brothers faked his death by rubbing goat's blood into the multi-coloured coat. In Egypt, Joseph became a house servant to a rich, high-ranking Egyptian, Potiphar. In the household he was noticed by Potiphar's wife who tried to seduce him, but he resisted her and was put in prison. Whilst in prison Joseph used his power to interpret the dreams of prison officials, and when the Pharaoh had two disturbing dreams Joseph was called to interpret them.

According to Joseph's interpretation, there were to be seven years of plenty in Egypt, followed by seven years of famine.

Joseph was able to advise the Pharaoh on how to prepare for the famine and as a result gained the favour of the Pharaoh who promoted him to Prime Minister. Another highlight was going to a school excursion to Old Sydney Town an olden days theme park that is no longer around and I got picked to in a short play with a judge. I went to the University of Western Sydney and completed a writing degree.

Life and education

But I also wanted to be a teacher, so I did a teaching degree at Sydney University. I really enjoyed my teaching days, because I get to use my imagination and the kids gave me so many ideas. I reckon kids are little masters of comedy, and the characters in my stories explore the wacky side of everyday life. I got my first big break by appearing in the anthology, Growing Up Asian in Australia in I wrote a short story called Hot and Spicy, which would be the first of many about a crazy Thai kid named Albert….

I spent the next year working on Thai-riffc! When Thai-riffic! My second book Con-nerd came out in The other book was the long awaited sequel to Thai-riffic! After a short break, I returned with Stuff Happens: Ethan in early It was a lot of fun, working this cool series for boys.

See a Problem?

You should be nose deep in the book itself by now. Never read anything like it. So many twisted characters, yet you can't help but love them. Highly recommended.

by Nora Ephron (2006)

Ani Johnson, The Bookbag "I know the philosophical nuggets are there waiting to be extracted from a story that works even without the deeper understanding I'm looking for. However this does give me an excuse, if one were needed, to return to the surreal world that I enjoyed visiting so much the first time and to be subsumed by it once again.

Its vision is so confident and complete, its language a joy. Cooking With Bones is a novel that draws you so completely into its world that it is hard to step out again. She moves between settings and narrative voices seamlessly, creating a world which is at once magical and unsettling. Blair, Learn This Phrase "I really loved this book. It's so rare to find something so unpredictable and unique yet so coherent, interesting and memorable. It's beautifully written - lyrical and evocative with distinct voices for the three protagonists but not so much that it feels pretentious or stops you from relating to the characters.

Jess Richards' latest novel, "Cooking With Bones" is one such book. The book is hard to classify: at one level it's a fairy story; at another, it's a ghost story; and at yet another it's a contemporary morality play delving deep into a whole variety of issues.

The writing is so full of texture, scent and colour that the reader will almost be able to taste it. This book is also a feast for the mind, subverting boundaries and meanings. It's the kind of fiction that will change over time and blossom under interrogation, offering up something different on each subsequent reading. Jess Richards is a vibrant new voice in literary fiction and I will definitely be seeking out more of her work in the future. Featuring a genetically engineered 'form-wanderer', a girl created to mirror other people's desires, and her non-engineered sister, Cooking with Bones charts the escape of the girls to a rural backwater in a world that is so parallel to our own that you can't but help shiver.
