She’s settled into married life with a young daughter but has never forgotten the summer she met Zeke, a fellow misfit whose mother had left his adulterous father, common ground with Frankie who’d resigned herself to a lonely few months finishing her novel. Frankie is a writer, the author of a successful children’s crime series. One morning in 2017, Frankie answers the phone to a journalist who plans to unmask her to the world, revealing her part in a piece of art she cocreated in 1996, aged sixteen. We are fugitives, and the law is skinny with hunger for us ![]() The edge is a shantytown filled with gold seekers. Last year’s short story collection, Tunneling to the Centre of the Earth, also impressed me so I jumped at the chance to read Now Is Not the Time to Panic in which two teenage misfits spend the summer creating and disseminating an artwork which has dramatic effects on their small Tennessee town, reverberating across the world. It ended up on my books of the year list. A few years ago, I read Kevin Wilson’s Nothing to See Here despite my reluctance at the prospect of children spontaneously combusting. ![]() About her by banana yoshimoto5/26/2023 ![]() ![]() In “Mama!” - one of the most brilliant stories I’ve ever read - Mimi, a publishing company employee, is poisoned by a disgruntled co-worker. “This life seemed simple at first glance,” Yoshimoto writes, “when in fact it existed within a flow that was far bigger, as vast as the seven seas.” After the narrator and her lover split, their paths meander as they age in a way that makes the reader smile. Couldn’t mixing in it, even just a little, sap you of some of the vitality you needed to live in this world?” As the living couple’s intimacy deepens, the odd poignancy of the ghosts becomes entangled with their anxiety about the imminent destruction of the building, and with it their temporary relationship. They make the narrator “uneasy,” she says: “Ghosts probably lived in ghost time - time that flowed in its own strange way, somewhere completely removed from our own. The ghosts go about their mundane lives, seemingly unaware that they are ghosts. In “House of Ghosts,” a young woman encounters, well, ghosts of an elderly couple in the soon-to-be-demolished apartment of her new lover. ![]() ![]() At the center of each is a woman negotiating the quiet fallout of personal history. The five stories in Banana Yoshimoto’s collection “Dead-End Memories” - first published in Japan in 2003, it is her 11th book to be translated into English - are strange, melancholy and beautiful. ![]() DEAD-END MEMORIES: Stories, by Banana Yoshimoto, translated by Asa Yoneda ![]() Hey world here i am5/26/2023 ![]() ![]() I receive a range of quality in the drawings. I like to have students present their work to the class, or I will post student work in the classroom and have a gallery walk-through. I like this activity because students get to choose events they feel are most important in the literary work and standout to them. This allows students to use more space when drawing/coloring pictures. ![]() ![]() There are no text boxes for the pictures. I also provided a copy of one template that indicates where the pictures should be written. This simply forces students to be selective with their words when they write their short description. The lined space for the fifth event is limited. The spacing ranges from single space, space and a half, and double space. Each copy has different line spacing to accommodate the different level of writers (or penmanship). This worksheet is one page however, there are three different copies. There is enough space for students to list five major events. I enjoy having students draw and color their art. Students will also draw a picture of each event. Beginning at the bottom left of the page, students will number each major event in the literary work and write a short description of the event. This worksheet has a staircase pattern that moves from the bottom left to the upper right of the paper. This plot graph is presented in landscape view. ![]() Wildwood chronicles series5/26/2023 ![]() The story is told from multiple points of view, and the book features more than eighty illustrations, including six full-color plates, making this an absolutely gorgeous object. It feels at once firmly steeped in the classics of children's literature and completely fresh at the same time. Prue and Curtis are classmates in St Johns, though not exactly friends. Wildwood captivates readers with the wonder and thrill of a secret world within the landscape of a modern city. Wildwood by Colin Meloy is a childrens fantasy novel that follows the adventures of seventh-graders Prue McKeel and Curtis Mehlberg as they travel into the Impassable Wilderness to rescue Prues baby brother who has been abducted by crows. And what begins as a rescue mission becomes something much greater as the two friends find themselves entwined in a struggle for the very freedom of this wilderness. In Wildwood, Prue and her friend Curtis uncover a secret world in the midst of violent upheaval-a world full of warring creatures, peaceable mystics, and powerful figures with the darkest intentions. ![]() ![]() ![]() For fans of The Chronicles of Narnia comes the first book in the Wildwood Chronicles, the New York Times bestselling fantasy adventure series by Colin Meloy, lead singer of the Decemberists, and Carson Ellis, acclaimed illustrator of The Mysterious Benedict Society.

Topics include images and pilgrimage women, work and trade in medieval Norfolk political culture and heresy the prophetic tradition female mystics and the body women's roles and lifecycle religious drama and reenactment autobiography and gender. This Companion seeks to complement the existing almost exclusively literary scholarship with work that also draws significantly on historical analysis, and is concerned to contextualise Kempe's Book in a number of different ways, using her work as a way in to the culture and society of medieval northern Europe. Margery Kempe's Book provides rare access to the "marginal voice" of a lay medieval woman, and is now the focus of much critical study. ![]() Bob mehr replacements5/26/2023 ![]() ![]() Owner of No Echo, Carlos Ramirez has played in the bands Black Army Jacket, Hope Collapse, and Deny the Cross. Trouble Boys: The True Story of The Replacements isn't the first book about the influential Minneapolis rock 'n' rollers, but this is the essential one. Westerberg often threaded a dark sense of humor into his lyrics, and the author also captures that aspect of the band through the insider stories included within the 520-page book. Mehr also does a fine job of drawing killer stuff from his interview subjects, filling in many blanks in the history of the 'Ments. After all, this is a group who broke up after playing one of their biggest shows. The Replacements famously squandered many huge opportunities, and they're all covered here. Trouble Boys details original guitarist Bob Stinson's collapse-and eventual death-from years of alcohol and drug abuse, and even includes a section covering his 1995 funeral. Written by music critic Bob Mehr, Trouble Boys: The True Story of The Replacements is an exhaustive look at the triumphs and failures of the influential Minneapolis rock 'n' rollers.įeaturing all-new interviews with Replacements guitarist/vocalist Paul Westerberg, bassist Tommy Stinson, and guitarist Slim Dunlap, the book digs deep and the results aren't always pretty. ![]() The draining lake arnaldur indridason5/26/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() As the series progresses, Eva Lind and Sindri, who are now adults with their own problems, gradually become part of his life. He also feels guilty over his own indifference towards his children after his marriage failed so many years ago. He goes on an annual pilgrimage to his birthplace to continue the search for the boy’s body in the rugged hills. The childhood loss of his little brother during a snowstorm, for which he blames himself, is still a permanent presence in Erlendur’s life. We thought it would be a good idea to write a guide to the detective, and hopefully it’ll clear up any questions you have about the series and which ones are available in English. Although Strange Shores wrapped up the original series, a prequel series featuring a younger Erlendur tells us of his earlier cases going back to the 1970s. ![]() His exploits have captivated fans through 11 novels, of which nine have been translated into English. Why? Because the ghosts of his past give him no quarter.Ĭreated by Icelandic author Arnaldur Indridason (pictured above), Detective Erlendur is as enigmatic as they come. He passes his solitary time reading his strange library of papers about people lost in the wilds of Iceland. When he’s not doggedly pursuing a case, he is hunkered down at home brooding over its details. Inspector Erlendur Sveinsson is a brilliant cop, but also a gloomy and thoroughly anti-social figure who guards his privacy jealously. ![]() |
