A sheepdog barks six fields away; I see the farm from here. Twelve-month cards, each one thumbed, flipped, weathered in its way – this the eighth, harvest-time, a full moon like a trump, a magic trick. It rose last night above this house, affirmative. I sensed your answer – hearts. Or a single hour is a smiling Jack, a diamond, or a spade learning a grave; charms or dark lessons. Something is shuffling; the soft breath of Moniack Mhor on the edge of utterance, I know it, the verbs of swifts riffling the air and the road turning itself into the loch, a huge ace into which everything folds. Here is the evening, displayed then dropped to drift to the blazon of barley, bracken, heather. Something is gifting this great gold gathering of cloud; a continual farewell. CAROL ANN DUFFY WELCOME Dear all, Welcome to Moniack Mhor Creative Writing Centre, based in the beautiful highlands of Scotland. Perched at 1000ft, just a stone’s throw from Loch Ness, the centre commands dramatic views of the mountain ranges of Ben Wyvis and Glen Strathfarrar. Our cosy converted croft is an inspiring atmosphere for doing what we love best, writing. 2015 was a thrilling and creative year in the life of the newly fledged, independent Moniack Mhor. We’ve been visited by many writers from all walks of life, each sharing a different story, breathing energy into the walls of the building.

    TRE CONSCIOUSNESS of HISTORY 7N the NOVELS of NADINE GORDDJER: 1953-1974 by S Tephen Clingman

    TRE CONSCIOUSNESS OF HISTORY 7N THE NOVELS OF NADINE GORDDJER: 1953-1974 by S tephen Clingman In her critical book, The Black Interpreters, Nadine Gordimer writes: If you want to read the facts of the retreat from Moscow in 1815, you may read a history book; if you want to know what war is like and how people of a certain time and background dealt with it as their personal situation, you must read War and Peace. (1) In her opinion, it is clear, fiction can present history as historiography cannot. Moreover, it appears, such a presentation is not fictional in the sense of being "untrue". Rather, fiction deals with an area of historical activity inaccessible to the sciences of greater externality: the area in which historical process is registered as the subjective consciousness of individuals in society. While any claim to the unique powers of fiction in this regard must undoubtedly be qualified, it is nevertheless partly the intention of the present paper to demonstrate that Nadine Gordimerls own novels may indeed be viewed in this way. But, whereas her remark is focussed on the narrative world which Tolstoy presents, taking for granted the veracity of the subjective historical experience he depicts, this paper follows rather the historical consciousness of Nadine Gordimer herself as it is manifested in a developing way in her successive novels. Perhaps more than any other South African writer, Nadine Gordimer's literary consciousness is historical. This is apparent in matters ranging from her critical remarks on other writers (as above) to the specific mode of fickion she habitually employs in her novels.

    The Stakes Ben Sanders

    FEBRUARY 2018 The Stakes Ben Sanders An NYPD robbery detective uses his insider knowledge to rob criminals. The dazzling new stand-alone thriller from the bestselling author of American Blood and Marshall's Law. Description Rip-offs are a dangerous game, but NYPD robbery detective Miles Keller thinks he's found a good strategy: rip off rich New York criminals and then retire early, before word's out about his true identity. New town, new name, no worries. Retirement can't come soon enough, though. The NYPD is investigating him for the shooting of a hitman named Jack Deen, who was targeting Lucy Gates - a former police informant and Miles's ex-lover. Miles thinks shooting hitmen counts as altruism, but in any case a murder charge would make life difficult. He's ready to go to ground, but then Nina Stone reappears in his life. Nina is a fellow heist professional and the estranged wife of LA crime boss Charles Stone. Miles last saw her five years ago, when he was investigating her for bank robbery and looked the other way, for reasons he is still trying to figure out. Since then her life has grown more complicated: her husband wants her back, and he's dispatched his go-to gun thug to play repo man. Complicating matters is the fact that the gun thug in question is Bobby Deen, cousin of the dead Jack Deen - and Bobby wants vengeance. The stakes couldn't be higher, but Nina has an offer that could be lucrative. Maybe Miles can stick around a while longer and get the big payoff he's been waiting for? But luck has a way of running out and soon Miles is in way over his head.
