In a short story by this author, Callie chains her son Bo to a tree to prevent him from running away and jumping between cars on the interstate, and another story by him centers around Abnesti creating a drug that when administered creates a strong sexual attraction and causes users to fall deeply in love. Those stories, (*) “Puppy” and “Escape from Spiderhead,” are collected in this author’s Tenth of December collection, which was published before his novel that takes place after the death of Willie, the son of the 16th president, as he wanders around the Tibetan “intermediate state.” For 10 points, name this American writer of CivilWarLand in Bad Decline, who won the 2017 Man Booker Prize for his novel Lincoln in the Bardo.

    Reading Groups Collection Multiple-Copy Titles Available for Loan Master list revised May 2019 Susan ABULHAWA - Mornings in Jenin (2011, 352 pages) Palestine, 1948. A mother clutches her six-month-old son as Israeli soldiers march through the village of Ein Hod. In a split second, her son is snatched from her arms and the fate of the Abulheja family is changed forever. Forced into a refugee camp in Jenin , the family struggles to rebuild their world. Their stories unfold through the eyes of the youngest sibling, Amal, the daughter born in the camp who will eventually find herself alone in the United States; the eldest son who loses everything in the struggle for freedom; the stolen son who grows up as an Israeli, becoming an enemy soldier to his own brother. Mornings in Jenin is a novel of love and loss, war and oppression, and heartbreak and hope, spanning five countries and four generations of one of the most intractable conflicts of our lifetime. Ayobami ADEBAYO - Stay with me (2017, 298 pages) Yejide is hoping for a miracle, for a child. It is all her husband wants, all her mother-in-law wants, and she has tried everything - arduous pilgrimages, medical consultations, dances with prophets, appeals to God. But when her in- laws insist upon a new wife, it is too much for Yejide to bear. It will lead to jealousy, betrayal and despair. Unravelling against the social and political turbulence of '80s Nigeria, Stay with Me sings with the voices, colours, joys and fears of its surroundings. Ayobami Adebayo weaves a devastating story of the fragility of married love, the undoing of family, the wretchedness of grief and the all-consuming bonds of motherhood.

  • Anti-Semitic Representation in the Finkler Question by Howard Jacobson: an Analysis
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH CULTURE SOCIETY ISSN: 2456-6683 Volume - 2, Issue - 3, Mar – 2018 UGC Approved Monthly, Peer-Reviewed, Refereed, Indexed Journal Impact Factor: 3.449 Publication Date: 31/03/2018 Anti-Semitic Representation in the Finkler Question by Howard Jacobson: An Analysis SMITA DEVI Designation of Author: Research Scholar Department of English Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab Email – [email protected] Abstract: Every individual wants to live a contented and peaceful life. The constitution in fact allows individuals to have all the prerequisites. However, Jews were often deprived of such free space. The world history depicts Jews as swindler. They are considered as the Dhimi members of the society. They are always sidelined and ignored in gentile society. Julian Treslove one of the central characters of The Finkler Question tried to assimilate in the Jewish society but faced anti-Semitic hostility. The study is an attempt to understand the problems of British Jews. This study will try to explore hostility against Jews. It will try to explore issues related to anti-semitic prejudice and its consequences. Key Words: Anti-Semitism, Other, Hostility. 1. INTRODUCTION: God is the creator of the world. He made all his creations as unique and one. All the creations are fulfilled with positive qualities. As every action has opposite reactions similarly, the creations of God reflect the hidden negative attributes. Forgetting the fact, that we all are the children of one creator individuals created their own groups, religions, society, customs etc. Moreover, they are in a race to prove one is superior and the others are inferior ones.
