It is, in this regard, merely a preliminary study. It is an history of an ongoing, quite long process.

As with the current COVID-19 pandemic, pathogens in Parable of the Sower are concentrated in communities suffering from various forms of institutional racism, such as divestment, discriminatory lending practices, and redlining. In the novel’s speculative future, horrific ecological destruction, political unrest, and quotidian violence have led to food scarcity, water shortages, and disease, which, while widespread, predominantly affect communities and characters of color.Īccording to the novel’s African American protagonist, Lauren Oya Olamina, “there’s cholera spreading in southern Mississippi and Louisiana… There are too many poor people-illiterate, jobless, homeless, without decent sanitation or clean water” (Butler 53). Butler‘s Parable of the Sower may not come first to mind. Yet, in her dreams, she is teaching herself to fly.Īmong the many literary works which take place during pandemics, Octavia E. Lauren Oya Olamina grew up behind a massive wall.

Souls For Sale by Rupert Hughes6/6/2023 Possibly it was a victim of the trend then prevalent towards the programming of fiercely avant-garde compositions, both in concert halls and on the BBC, but its strongly melodic basis, its heady lyricism, and its passionate declamations make it a work undeserving of its neglect.Ĭast in three movements, it has much originality of structure: it opens with an extended, songful passage for the solo instrument, which is the subject for later development however, a brilliant, dance-like episode follows, in which virtuosic double-stopping and cascading arpeggios in the violin are complemented by vigorous statements from the orchestra. Description The Violin Concerto by Robin Milford was composed in 1937 and received two radio broadcasts ? but was laid aside and forgotten following the early death of its composer.

Louise kennedy tresspasses6/4/2023 Meet Cushla Lavery, an occasional Catholic and 24-year-old schoolteacher who moonlights as a bartender in her family’s pub. The fog of war, even a guerrilla war, is still a fog. Louise Kennedy recreates the Troubles in her restrained, absorbing debut, Trespasses, set in Belfast in the mid-1970s. The past leaves its thumbprints on us all, and on none more than an emerging generation of dazzling literary talent. Artists across mediums have tapped that dark era as well, evidenced by the suspense-laden television series Bloodlands. Colum McCann’s sublime novel TransAtlantic stole its plot, in part, from real-world headlines, including George Mitchell’s Herculean efforts to secure a truce among Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland in 1998, known as the Good Friday Agreement, the terminus of the Troubles, the decades-long conflict that pitted families and neighbors against each other.

I liked the characters, but I wanted more insight into them. I wanted a few more telling moments, scenes that opened the story up and allowed the reader to really dive into what was going on underneath it all. It seemed, at times, as though Kay was only skimming the surface. There were moments when the book was a pure pleasure to read.And yet, I really felt that I wanted a bit more depth to it all. The characters are individual and relatable. The musical theme carries through very well. The world is nicely drawn I found it easy to slip into and become involved with. Initially, I found it lacking in comparison to Lord of Emperors, my favourite work by Kay however, once I was able to put aside my biases, I found that I enjoyed it on its own merits. I'm still a little unsure of how I felt about this book.

Ordinary grace author6/4/2023 I was certain that this famous author, whose work is frequently listed on the New York Times bestseller lists, would not have time to visit a local University classroom. Paul, my students were astonished and asked that I find a way for them to meet this local author.Īt that time, Krueger was already the author of the wildly successful Cork O’Connor detective series. I was struck by the complexity of the characters and the nod to our own Minnesota history. But, I hesitated on committing the novel to my syllabus because it was only available in hardcover and I felt the expense to students was a burden. In the end, I could not deny that the novel was brilliant, beautiful and that it fit surprisingly well with my theme of young people making poor choices with often devastating consequences.Īs it turned out, my students never complained about the cost and, in fact, declared that it was their favorite book of the semester. When I told them that Krueger lives right here in St. In the Fall of 2013, as I considered text selections for my new course The Road Not Taken, the recently published novel Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger caught my attention.
