Why give them names at all, and if we must, why not characterise them by the birds that nest in them, the creatures that live in them, chewing little holes that is, identify them by where they sit in the hosting of the endless feed chain that we would need, if we lived among trees in the aboriginal way? ![]() How many species there are today, I don’t know, and I don’t much care because I know that the number will change again as other, newer minds approach the problem … Since then, I discover, scientists have been re-classifying, and the process never stops. I found it reassuring to know, when I stood surrounded by bewildering bush, that trained minds had been through before me. When I first became interested in trees, authorities said there were just over six hundred eucalypts this number included sub-species identified with a further name, as for example, Eucalyptus albens var. ![]() ![]() Fortunately, the French administration regularly drops off food rations, which he in turn distributes to local families to keep them nourished. ![]() ![]() Just three days earlier, after the interminably long stretch of blazing heat, the intense snowfall hit out of nowhere without even a light rainfall to announce the transition from one extreme meteorological event to another. In the distance, he makes out the horse’s strained breath in the frigid air as the beast stumbles on uneven stones covered with “a layer of dirty white snow” that has fallen during an unexpected October blizzard (65).Īs Daru grabs a sweater from the schoolroom, he reflects on the previous eight-month drought, which has decimated what few crops could be cultivated in his region’s inhospitable soil and has killed off local livestock, as well as humans. Daru, a French schoolmaster born and raised in a remote, sparsely populated desert region in the Atlas Mountains of French colonial Algeria, glimpses a horseman and a pedestrian laboriously making their way towards his hillside schoolhouse as they traverse the plateau that meets the incline. ![]() ![]() ![]() She was.well honestly I felt like the character lacked substance.

Moral licensing I didn’t think twice about until the lines bled too fully for me to distinguish between them. If you’re not a reader of the genre, this book may not be suitable for you. It is NOT fantasy or a literal retelling. *Promises and Pomegranates is a full-length, standalone, dark contemporary romance inspired by the Hades and Persephone myth. Shattered her virtue and devoured her soul like a succulent pomegranate.Įmbedded my evil as deep as I could possibly get and tried to set her free.

Usurped my fiancé and filled the cracks in my heart with empty promises. Harbinger of death, keeper of souls, frequenter of nightmares. ![]() ![]() In 2010 Azoulay was denied tenure at Bar-Ilan, a move regarded by some colleagues and commentators as politically motivated. In 1999 she began teaching at Bar-Ilan University. Īzoulay is of Algerian descent and identifies as "an Arab Jew and a Palestinian Jew of African origins". Early life Īzoulay has degrees from Université Paris VIII, Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales and Tel Aviv University.

Washuta shifts her focus frequently (perhaps too much for some readers), from the history of the Seattle area to an in-depth discussion of horror movies to her search for an anti-drinking educational video she though she saw as a teen. Across 10 interwoven essays that move through Washuta’s life, she uses popular-culture references-e.g., Fleetwood Mac, Twin Peaks, and the video game “Oregon Trail II”-as guideposts in her own journey of understanding the world and her place in it. The author’s story is also one of personal healing, as she writes candidly about her abuse of alcohol, being misdiagnosed as bipolar, and suffering from PTSD. "The truth is I'm not a witch, exactly: I'm a person with prayers, a person who believes in spirits and plays with fire,” she writes. Washuta begins with an account of her history with magic and witchcraft growing up. ![]() A Cowlitz woman’s collection of interconnected essays on memory, nostalgia, and introspection, conveyed through personal history, popular culture, and magic. ![]() ![]() ![]() Nilanjana Sudeshna "Jhumpa" Lahiri was born in London and brought up in South Kingstown, Rhode Island. A startling act of self-reflection and a provocative exploration of belonging and reinvention. ![]() Presented in a dual-language format, it is a book about exile, linguistic and otherwise, written with an intensity and clarity not seen since Nabokov. In Other Words, an autobiographical work written in Italian, investigates the process of learning to express oneself in another language, and describes the journey of a writer seeking a new voice. In Rome, Lahiri began to read, and to write-initially in her journal-solely in Italian. So in 2012, seeking full immersion, she decided to move to Rome with her family, for “a trial by fire, a sort of baptism” into a new language and world. And although Lahiri studied Italian for many years afterward, true mastery had always eluded her. ![]() For Jhumpa Lahiri, that love was for Italian, which first captivated and capsized her during a trip to Florence after college. In Other Words is at heart a love story-of a long and sometimes difficult courtship, and a passion that verges on obsession: that of a writer for another language. From the Pulitzer Prize winner, a surprising, powerful, and eloquent nonfiction debut ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s me against them, and only time will tell If I’ll be the winner or be destroyed in these cruel and merciless Mafia Wars. But what disturbs me most is that I just might like it. They play a game for keeps, a game where the only rule is that there are no rules. A dahlia has always bloomed best in the light, and even though everything about this place and these men is shrouded in darkness, I’m determined to thrive…to win. The thing they don’t realize is that I’m more than what I seem. Where Lucian, Raphael, and Gabriel Rossi now think they own me. ![]() New York City, the powerful head of the Cosa Nostra, is my new home.
