    A Readers Companion for Saint Louis Armstrong

    A Readers Companion for SAINT LOUIS ARMSTRONG BEACH by brenda woods a boy, a dog, and the hurricane that almost separated them About the book Saint is a boy with confi dence as big as his name is long. A budding musician, he earns money playing clarinet for the New Orleans tourists. His best friend is a stray dog named Shadow, and it’s because of Shadow that Saint’s still in town when Hurricane Katrina hits. Saint’s not worried about the hurricane at fi rst—he plans to live to be a hundred just to defy his palm-reader friend Jupi, who told him he has a short life line. But now the city has been ordered to evacuate, and Saint won’t leave without Shadow. His search brings him to his elderly neighbor’s home, and the three of them fl ee to her attic when the waters rise. But when Miz Moran’s medication runs out, it’s up to Saint to save her life—and his beloved Shadow’s. A terrible thing happened to a special place—a warm and wonderful city that I love very much. This book captures all of it: the heat, the hope, the music, the panic, the pathos. Most of all, it captures the people. They are real folks to me. And they will be to you, too. Brenda Woods has passed down this gift for the ages...and for all ages. —Brian Williams, NBC Nightly News anchor, 978-0-399-25507-6 (HC) • $16.99 Katrina survivor Ages 10 and up Brenda Woods, whose family hails from New Orleans, is the author of Coretta Scott King Honor winner The Red Rose Box and ALA Quick Pick Emako Blue.

Precious is the flow that makes me white as snow; No other fount I know, nothing but the blood of Jesus. (choir) There on the hill where true love died, the Prince of Heaven crucified. How red the ground, how black the day, as God the Father turned away. My crown of thorns was His to wear, my guilt and shame were His to bear. My sin upon His shoulders laid, and by His blood my debt was paid. In the cross, in the cross be my glory, be my hope. What a Savior, what a cost, I will glory in the cross! (all, standing) I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice, and it told Thy love to me; But I long to rise in the arms of faith, and be closer drawn to Thee. Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to the cross where Thou hast died; Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to Thy precious bleeding side. O! Precious is the flow that makes me white as snow; No other fount I know, nothing but the blood of Jesus.

  • Elif Şafak's the Saint of Incipient Insanities As an “International” Novel

    Elif Şafak's the Saint of Incipient Insanities As an “International” Novel

    Elif Şafak’s The Saint of Incipient Insanities as an “International” Novel Elif Oztabek-Avci e Saint of Incipient Insanities is Elif Şafak’s fi rst novel written in English. It is also the fi rst novel in English written by a contemporary Turkish writer.1 Şafak (or Shafak) has joined the growing group of in- ternational writers who write in English although it is not their mother tongue, and e Saint of Incipient Insanities has been shelved in book- stores among other examples of “the rapid, extensive and many-sided internationalization of literatures at the end of the twentieth century” (Dhardwadker 59). e aim of this article is to explore how Shafak’s novel tackles the grip of nation on writers, especially on those from formerly colonized and/or so-called developing countries of the world, by focusing on the novel’s publication processes and the writer’s use of English in the novel. In his article Vinay Dhardwadker draws attention to a paradox: na- tionalism, he holds, is “an essential ingredient in the contemporary internationalization of literatures” (63). He suggests this paradoxical sit- uation is the result of the eff orts made by ex-colonized new nations to defi ne their “cultural identities” through literature (produced both by writers writing in their native tongue and by those writing in English): ey have established local and national councils of the arts; provided state funding for writers and literary institutions in the form of fellowships and grants; subsidized educational sys- tems, libraries, publishers, and literary media; instituted na- tional and international conferences, book fairs, and literary awards; and funded programmes for lectures, readings, and tours at home and abroad.

    Suggested Summer Reading List for High School and Faculty Saint Ann’S School, 2015

    Suggested Summer Reading List for High School and Faculty Saint Ann’s School, 2015 Adichie, Chimamanda Ngozi. Half of a Yellow Sun Adichie’s novel tells the story of a moment in African history that few of us know much about: Nigeria’s civil war. The story follows several characters over the course of a decade, including a houseboy, a university professor and the professor’s beautiful mistress, whose sister is the object of an expatriate British writer’s affection (we follow the two of them also). Half of a Yellow Sun is a novel rich in history and character, one that takes us through the war’s origins and its devastating (and lasting) impact on the country and the family at the center of the story. Readers who loved Americanah are sure to devour this complex, haunting novel. (Melissa Kantor) Al-Khalili, Jim. The House of Wisdom: How Arabic Science Saved Ancient Knowledge and Gave Us the Renaissance I assigned this book last year because it's the only book that tells the story of one of the great Golden Ages of Science in world history, from Baghdad in the 9th century to Toledo in the 11th-12th centuries—when Europe was medieval, China had no algebra, and the most advanced American science was Maya calendrical arithmetic. Because it is so clear, charming and readable, I'll be assigning it again next year. Jim Al-Khalili is a Baghdad-born physics teacher in England who knows his subject and, more importantly, knows how to present it both historically and entertainingly.

    Must-Read Debut Novels @ San Rafael Public Library

    Must-Read Debut Novels @ San Rafael Public Library Taken BY Scott Bergstrom meets The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Bourne Identity in this action-packed debut thriller (optioned for film by Jerry Bruckheimer) about a girl who must train as an assassin to deal with the gangsters who have kidnapped her father. Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe: “Things Fall Apart—the first volume of Chinua Achebe’s masterpiece The African Trilogy—tells two intertwining stories, both centering on Okonkwo, a “strong man” of an Igbo village in Nigeria. The first, a powerful fable of the immemorial conflict between the individual and society, traces Okonkwo’s fall from grace in his world. The second, as modern as the first is ancient, concerns the clash of cultures and the destruction of that world when European missionaries arrive in his village.” Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: “Fifteen-year-old Kambili and her older brother Jaja lead a privileged life in Enugu, Nigeria. They live in beautiful house, with a caring family, and attend an exclusive missionary school. They’re completely shielded from the troubles of the world. Yet, as Kambili reveals in her tender-voiced account, things are less perfect than they appear.” The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende: “One of the most important novels of the twentieth century, The House of the Spirits is an enthralling epic that spans decades and lives, weaving the personal and the political into a universal story of love, magic, and fate.” Bastard Out of Carolina by Dorothy Allison: “At the heart of this story is Ruth Anne Boatwright, known simply as Bone, a bastard child who observes the world around her with a mercilessly keen perspective.
