„Vorsicht, dieses Buch kann Spuren von Franz Kafka enthalten. Und dazu ganz viel Sehnsucht. Und Entwurzelung. Hingetupft, ohne zu übertreiben. Erzählerisch mit großer
Ökonomie gesetzt, präzise und sinnlich.“ – Alf Mayer, Strandgut Frankfurt

The time came, before many days, when the last tie that bound Joan to her present life was broken. The little one, who from the first had clung to existence with a frail hold, at last loosened its weak grasp. It had been ill for several days,—so ill that Joan had remained at home to nurse it,—and one night, sitting with it upon her knee in her accustomed…

What’s a book you never finished but still think about?
I was thrifted shopping at my favorite local spot about 7 years ago. My belly was stretched to an enormous size and I walked with a slight waddle. I casually walked through the tight isles recalling other times I have visited. Different seasons ran through my mind somehow tucked silently amogst the books. A quiet memory only I can see.
Soon a book caught my eye. It featured a butterfly on the cover, a creature that has always been in my top favorites. I read the back hastily, knowing if I like the cover I am likely to get it regardless.
“A man by the name of Henri Charrière, nicknamed “Papillon is wrongfully convicted and his thoughts turn to one thing, escape.”
The plot intrigued me despite the heaviness it implied, although no where near what I assumed it would be. I brought it home and set it on my shelf, happy with my choice.
While on maternity leave I grabbed the book hoping to give it a good read and return it to its rightful place. It would seem that the story line did not fit the current mood. I suppose I was looking for something more casual at the time. So, I returned it to my collection and choose another. And there it waits for another time and another place. A different mood or rather, a different season.
I think about it from time to time, remembering how it became mine and the tiny sweet memory it still holds. One day I will return and learn all about Papillon and his great escape. Until then, it patiently waits for my return.
Good night, smugglers!

"Rimbaud strikes like a wolf aiming for the throat"

Photography changed Victorian ideas about evidence, identification, and police observation.
Detective fiction responded by creating figures such as Sherlock Holmes and Inspector Bucket, whose powers seemed almost technological.
Supposedly mechanical reasoning could not free him from gender prejudice.
The problem remains familiar: surveillance technology can magnify the assumptions embedded within it.

“I read THE CUTTING ROOM by Louise Welsh and everything clicked into place. Here was Glasgow, as I knew it but also totally different. Welsh had created a Glasgow that had all the glamour and seediness of hardboiled LA. This is what I wanted to write.”
Callum McSorley in conversation with Sindhu Rajasekaran about writing crime fiction & sequels, & his latest novel RAT RACE.
"If, as I maintain and firmly believe, there is no objective definition of intelligence, and what we call intelligence is only a creation of cultural fashion and subjective prejudice, what the devil is it we test when we make use of an intelligence test?"

There I Am: The Journey from Hopelessness to Healing by Ruthie Lindsey #books #literature #dedication
Lo! in the orient when the gracious light
Lifts up his burning head, each under eye
Doth homage to his new-appearing sight,
Serving with looks his sacred majesty;
And having climb'd the steep-up heavenly hill,
Resembling strong youth in his middle age,
Yet mortal looks adore his beauty still,
Attending on his golden pilgrimage:
But when from highmost pitch,…
