Lily Dale by Christine Wicker6/12/2023 By the end, Wicker feels subtly changed, and she offers no answers as to why that might be or how long it may last. She also weaves in stories of trickery, giving the tales of otherworldliness a nicely earthbound counterpoint. Some of the tales are sad ones, but Wicker's jaunty pacing and humor keep the work from growing too dark and leave the reader with a feeling of tenderness, rather than pity, toward her subjects. She explores these areas through the stories of those who visit Lily Dale annually, craving a few insightful words about deceased family members or hoping for a premonition about romances, careers or children. Although the book details the town's story, Wicker uses its history merely as a framework to explore more slippery topics, e.g., the nature of faith, the value of belief and the need for solace. The result is a portrait not just of an upstate New York town built 122 years ago on old-fashioned spirituality, but also of the mediums who practice there, their clients, and Wicker herself, who lets details of her own spiritual beliefs lightly shade her travels to Lily Dale. But Wicker, a Dallas Morning News religion reporter, resists her own skepticism just as Lily Dale's citizens resist letting the movement die. Since it's become nearly extinguished, the American Spiritualism movement seems more ripe for sociological study and amused incredulity than a topic for deep reflection or journalistic memoir. Octavia butler vampire6/12/2023 She is also, when we encounter her, an amnesiac, and through the novel's opening chapters we piece together the fate of her family and the challenge that now faces her to re-establish her own safety and right to exist against uncertain forces determined to wipe her out. As part of this genetic enhancement, Shori is Black - a fact we find out relatively far into the novel's own text, although like Kindred before it, the marketing is likely to have given this away before the reader encounters it in the story. The protagonist of Fledgling is Shori, a juvenile (though still super old in human terms) Ina who is the result of genetic experimentation by her mothers: unlike the rest of her species, Shori is able to control her sleep cycle and move around relatively freely during the day, rather than going to sleep or being severely burned by sunlight. It reimagines the vampire myth in a way that plays upon the psychological appeal vampires can exert on their prey, creating the Ina, a symbiont species which gathers a group of humans and forms a mutual bond with them, feeding on them in exchange for increased longevity and healing and a whole lot of mutual pleasure. Fledgling is Butler's last completed novel, a story which stands well alone but in another world could have been the start of something much longer. Howl book allen ginsberg6/12/2023 A landmark free speech battle ensued that year in People of the State of California v. Murao was arrested, and the San Francisco Police Department issued a warrant for Ferlinghetti.įerlinghetti was charged with distributing obscene materials. Then two undercover cops bought a copy from City Lights manager Shig Murao. Ferlinghetti began printing Howl and Other Poems domestically to avoid scuffles with Customs. On March 25, 1957, the collector of customs at the port of San Francisco seized 520 copies of Howl and Other Poems that had been shipped from a printer in England, accusing the title poem of obscenity. Ferlinghetti's City Lights Bookstore published Howl and Other Poems in 1956, quickly attracting both celebration and controversy. Ginsberg's poem-112 lines describing drug use, homosexuality, materialism, shifting political tectonics, and rebellion against conformity-caught the attention of publisher Lawrence Ferlinghetti. When Allen Ginsberg first presented his poem "Howl" at an October 1955 reading in San Francisco, Beat poet Michael McClure said that "a human voice and body had been hurled against the harsh wall of America." Nativity by cynthia rylant6/11/2023 Bookstores are flush with books that highlight the chill beauty of winter and the warmth of traditions and togetherness. Who knew dinosaurs had holidays? Beasts and bunnies and birds star with booksellers. Others highlight December’s focus on family, kindness and generosity in ways that may appeal to interfaith and secular families - and everyone else. Some are clearly rooted in religious messages, featuring the Christ child or the meaning of the menorah. Children’s book publishers - hoping perhaps for the next contemporary classic, another “Polar Express” or “Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins” - have sent out a blizzard of holiday choices this year.

Jane in Love by Rachel Givney6/10/2023 Plus, as a modern-day man, Fred, would not have forced Jane into the traditional female role had he accompanied her back to her time he would have allowed her to continue writing. Talent like hers can’t be dissolved by wedding vows. She was a highly intelligent, natural-born writer. Why couldn’t the Jane in this book have both love and her career? Why couldn’t her love interest, Fred, have traveled back to the past with her? The author’s suggestion that Jane would have somehow lost her ability to write upon marrying Fred is absurd. That is, Jane in Love’s Jane remains every bit as single as the Jane Austen from history. Instead of recreating the past to have Jane Austen take a different path, the author gives the Jane in this story the same fate as the real-life Jane. It’s a time-travel story where the past remains unchanged from reality. Oh, and there’s no happily-ever-after ending either. Jane in Love is like the movie Kate and Leopold – only instead of a time-traveling, handsome duke, it’s Jane Austen.
