Murakami on the shore5/14/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() In contrast to “The City and Its Uncertain Walls,” about which almost all information was withheld from the public before it went on sale, “Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman” has been publicized with all the means available to a production of its modest scale, including a trailer that emphasizes a host of identifiable pieces of Murakamiana: prowling cats, ethereal sex, dense Japanese urban landscapes, an absent wife, a descent into darkness, and a talking humanoid frog. The other is the release, in the United States, of “Saules Aveugles, Femme Endormie” (“Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman”), an animated feature based on several of Murakami’s short stories. One is the publication, in Japan, of his latest novel, “Machi to Sono Futashika na Kabe” (“The City and Its Uncertain Walls”).

John donne complete poems5/14/2023 ![]() ![]() This organisation reproduces the manner in which Donne's original readers first encountered the poems in the various manuscripts of his elegies and satires that circulated in Donne's lifetime.

Unsheltered by barbara kingsolver5/14/2023 ![]() ![]() Kingsolver’s novel is set in a Tyleresque house, too, albeit one in Vineland, New Jersey rather than Baltimore: an ancient, scruffy family pad with an ailing grandfather in the attic, hippyish grown children frolicking through the kitchen, and serious ongoing repair problems. ![]() Tyler’s heroine, in a trademark Tyler accident, is given the care of a child presumed to be her son’s Kingsolver’s Willa, with equally typical politicised realism, takes on her baby grandson when her daughter-in-law dies in a suicide that is blamed in ruthless detail on the American healthcare system and millennial economic pressures on graduates. Perhaps they are even appointing her their intellectual grandmother, as each novel opens with a Willa having active grandmothering thrust upon her. Presumably, both senior American novelists are paying tribute to their forebear Willa Cather, and the centenary of her masterpiece, My Ántonia. L ike Anne Tyler’s recent Clock Dance, Barbara Kingsolver’s new novel has a heroine named Willa. ![]()

Small town big magic5/12/2023 ![]() ![]() But once you get there, you’ll wonder why you didn’t make the trek out to these beauties sooner. We’re not saying they’re so under-the-radar that you have no chance of actually finding them, but their size and general lack of tourists-often held in check by their remote locales-can make them tricky to visit. These tiny towns-which usually require multiple forms of transportation, and maybe even a hike, to reach-are so small, they’re barely a blip on the map. ![]() It’s not that high-profile destinations aren’t worth the journey, but you’re after more of a challenge. After you’ve checked some of the major bucket list travel experiences off your list (Osaka Castle during cherry blossom season, Rio for Carnival), take a break from big city life and start tackling those harder-to-reach towns. These days, travel is back in full swing. ![]()

The Fragmented Six by elmwynn5/12/2023 ![]() She had caressed Stoeffman’s pale face and wailed for hours-all in the town square. Klaus had been witness to Stoeffman’s mother’s tears as the Militärpolizei peeled away the coffin lid to reveal his body. ![]() The first casket to arrive in Buchstadt contained the body of Klaus’s senior at the military academy, Ulrich Stoeffman. They were of polished black wood, engraved with rigid gold lines, and embossed with the Capricornian sea-goat. What the government gifted their citizens for their victory and sacrifice were caskets. That day, the newspapers had praised Capricornian victory against an Argoan onslaught from Abschnitt 45 to 51, pushing forth celebrations all across the country. He’d seen his first five years ago in his city-town of Buchstadt before he’d even been officially deployed. Lance Corporal Klaus Kleine was accustomed to seeing dead bodies. ![]() Unoccupied Territory, Argoan-Capricornian Border Feindliche Begegnung » Enemy encounter at 0610 hours ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() In ‘From the Panchatantra’ Namjoshi calls to our immediate attention to the desire for a male child that runs through the country and through its tales. She understands their intermixed nature and the predicament it creates for an individual. What is striking about Namjoshi’s work is the way she always looks at identity collectively and does not treat religious, sexual, racial, class and caste identity as separate strands. ![]() Namjoshi gives us subversive popular Hindu Indian fairy tales, those from the Panchatantra. Though Jack Zipes and other scholars have pointed out the subversive potential of fairy tales, they are restricted to western fairy tales. The Fabulous Feministpublished by Zubaan in 2012 was a revival of Namjoshi’s powerful work which is a rewriting of canonical literature, of fairy tales and even of Shakespeare.ĭrawing from Indian and Western fairy tales, Namjoshi offers us an opportunity to consider fairy tales as sites of subversive forces. Suniti Namjoshi’s work has always been one to dismantle established norms of gender, sexuality and even literature. ![]()
