  • The Globe 100: Our Favourite Books of 2020
    The Globe 100: Our favourite books of 2020 Globe and Mail editors and reviewers offer up our annual guide to the most notable fiction, non- fiction, thrillers, graphic novels, picture books, young adult books and cookbooks of the year MARGARET CANNON, JEFFREY CANTON, JUDITH PEREIRA, SEAN ROGERS, AND ALEC SCOTT SPECIAL TO THE GLOBE AND MAIL PUBLISHED DECEMBER 4, 2020UPDATED 1 MINUTE AGO ILLUSTRATION BY SALINI PERERA Ridgerunner GIL ADAMSON (HOUSE OF ANANSI PRESS) The sequel to The Outlander (2007), this gothic Western was short-listed for this year’s Giller and won the Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize. The novel begins in 1917 with the death of Mary, the first novel’s main character, and focuses on the father of her child, Moreland. He sets out to steal enough cash to give his son a comfortable life. But their boy, who has his parents’ stubbornness and itch for self- sufficiency, doesn’t stay put for long. READ OUR INTERVIEW WITH AUTHOR GIL ADAMSON Homeland Elegies AYAD AKHTAR (LITTLE, BROWN AND COMPANY) This novel by the Pulitzer-winning author of Disgraced provocatively blends fact and fiction, paradox and contradiction, appearing to be a memoir of a man with the same name and pedigree as its author – a Pulitzer-winning American playwright of Pakistani-Muslim extraction whose father, a doctor, became enamoured with Donald Trump after treating him for a heart ailment, and then disillusioned after he assumes the presidency. READ OUR INTERVIEW WITH AUTHOR AYAD AKHTAR Leave The World Behind RUMAAN ALAM (HARPERCOLLINS) The author of Rich and Pretty and That Kind of Mother is back with a look at what happens when a pair of white renters, Clay and Amanda, are startled by the unexpected arrival of the Black property owners, who claim they’re escaping a mysterious blackout in New York.

  • 1 Forms of Cosmopolitanism Los Angeles Review of Books (2/16/14) Karen V
    1 Forms of Cosmopolitanism Los Angeles Review of Books (2/16/14) http://lareviewofbooks.org/essay/forms-cosmopolitanism Karen Van Dyck THE GREEK POET YANNIS RITSOS, in his Twelve Poems for Cavafy (1963), wrote of the Greek Diaspora poet Constantine P. Cavafy: “Many claimed him, many fought over him …”[1] This has only become truer this past year with the hubbub surrounding Cavafy’s 150th birthday. Cavafy was promenaded around for a vast array of purposes last year as seemingly every institution jockeyed to honor him. Some events were extremely public, such as the extravaganza at Town Hall in New York City on November 18, in which Kathleen Turner and Olympia Dukakis read poems while writers, translators, and critics from Orhan Pamuk and Mark Doty to Edmund Keeley and Daniel Mendelsohn added their commentary with flashy visuals (poems appearing on the screen behind them as they talked). There was a much awaited finale (a sign in the foyer warned the audience of male frontal nudity) by the choreographer of the Athens 2004 Olympics Dimitris Papaioannou in which a naked youth borrowed a third leg from the choreographer himself in an intricate mediation on parts and wholes, Eros and disability. Other such 2 events included panels like those at the Onassis Foundation House of Arts and Letters in Athens on November 4 with the title, “What Happens when Cavafy Enters Mass Media?” or again on December 10, “Cavafy in Our Time.” In the midst of celebrations around the poet and his work, Hala Halim took the canon to task with Alexandrian Cosmopolitanism: An Archive, challenging the particular Anglo- Saxon ownership of Cavafy’s legacy.

In this game, you open the book to a random spot and place your nger on S the text; the passage you select will, it is thought, predict your future. If this sounds silly, the results suggest otherwise. The rst person known to have played the game was a highborn Roman who was fretting about whether he’d be chosen to follow his cousin, the emperor Trajan, on the throne; after opening the book to this passage— I recognize that he is that king of Rome, Gray headed, gray bearded, who will formulate The laws for the early city . —he was condent that he’d succeed.

A debut with soulBy Read-A-LotThe story of a young Black woman in Bay Area California going through college and not only being schooled academically, but learning street smarts as well. In fact the book is broken into four parts, Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior. Each part serves as a backdrop for that particular year of College, but this is not a novel about education and the university. The main character Geniece happens to be attending school around the time that the Black Panter party is taking shape in Ca.What happens when kids go off to school, apparently of one mind set, but come back with an entirely different one? What influences young folk to act? Well, there are no easy answers and this novel does a great job of delineating the various options open to young and ambitious students. Although the novel is set in the time period of 1966-69, the themes are not limited to those years. And parents everywhere are still asking their college age children, How did you get into this or that?So what we get are historical figures mixed into the novel, to lend authenticity to the work.
