![]() The Remainder is a story about three young people. I think about the tipping point between motion and action: the moment where everything balances on a slim edge, then snaps, tumbles, and changes. ![]() ![]() Inertia is movement without change, but often when I think about it, I think about the external actions that force change and disrupt inertia. When planning for Huellas’ second issue focused around the theme of ‘inertia,’ this book immediately came to mind. Having always been intrigued by the cordillera that outlines the Chilean border, and the literature that touches and transcends it, I was immediately captured by Alia Trabucco Zerán’s The Remainder, while looking for contemporary Chilean literature. Alia spoke about the way a body experiences time and inertia during a pandemic, and the books that have kept her company in quarantine, when the body is held still, inertial, while the mind roams free. In this interview I asked Chilean author Alia Trabucco Zerán about her craft, about violence inherited and inherent in a country and culture, and about translation. ![]() Para leer esta entrevista en español, haz clic aquí. ![]()

![]() ![]() I didn't want to look and yet I couldn't take my eyes off it, ' he says. There will be exclusive interviews with Jon Klassen, reviews, competitions and more, so don’t miss it! We’ll be tweeting about the tour and all things hats on twitter on #IWantMyHatBack. Manuel Pedro's great - grandfather still thinks back upon the elderly Dona. We will have stops at blogs from America, Canada, Australia and from right here in the UK. As you can imagine, we are pretty excited about this one… it’s going to be EPIC. On the 19th September, we’re taking part in a GLOBAL blog tour. Jon Klassen has created a great little trailer for us, which is live on the Guardian Children’s Books website now – take a peek! And, if you like it, why not let us know with a quick tweet! This is coming out in October, but is already available to pre-order on Amazon. ![]() Patiently and politely, he asks the animals he comes across, one by one, whether they have seen it. The bear’s hat is gone, and he wants it back. This is the concept behind the brilliant I Want My Hat Back by Jon Klassen. A New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book of 2011 A picture-book delight by a rising talent tells a cumulative tale with a mischievous twist. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Fans will be aware that Tig is Cuban American Wyn and Max read as White.Įveryone believes that Salil Singh killed his girlfriend, Andrea Bell, five years ago-except Pippa Fitz-Amobi. ![]() References to Tig’s podcast-recapping events thus far-as well as a subplot involving her relationship with Wyn that gestures toward something beyond friendship, add more intriguing wrinkles to this tale. This brisk, absorbing mystery is a tight (if sometimes clunky) ode to sinister small towns. The deeper Tig and her friends dive into The Hunt and its numerous dangers, the more Tig uncovers about the Murder of Crows, the truth behind Hollow Falls’ Founder’s Day, and even her Abuela’s shocking role in The Hunt almost 50 years ago. Wyatt ends up dead, Tig realizes another killer is afoot. Wyatt (another odd elderly man) tasks Tig with completing The Hunt, a riddle-strewn search for the town founder’s body and, with it, a fabled treasure that numerous would-be adventurers throughout the area’s blood-drenched past have fixated upon. Green invites her to join the Murder of Crows, a secretive club full of older townsfolk obsessed with sprawling local history. Of course, Tig’s reputation soon draws her into another mystery when eccentric Mr. Teen sleuth Tig Torres of the popular Lethal Lit podcast returns to Hollow Falls, where another deadly mystery awaits.įresh off a summer in New York following the events of the Lit Killer case, Tig is ready to reunite with her friends Wyn and Max in Hollow Falls. ![]() ![]() ![]() He also brilliantly demonstrates that the language of the ancient works of law and religion (words like “guilt,” “sin,” and “redemption”) derive in large part from ancient debates about debt, and shape even our most basic ideas of right and wrong. Graeber shows that arguments about debt and debt forgiveness have been at the center of political debates from Italy to China, as well as sparking innumerable insurrections. It is in this era, Graeber argues, that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors. He shows that for more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell goods-that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. Here anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom. The problem with this version of history? There’s not a shred of evidence to support it. Every economics textbook says the same thing: Money was invented to replace onerous and complicated barter systems-to relieve ancient people from having to haul their goods to market. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you cannot even crack that, then and then only private colleges come into the picture. And the admission procedures are centralized state wise. ![]() Does Bhagat even know the admission procedure in engineering colleges of India? There are engineering colleges in India which even though are not NIT/IITs are government funded and quiet reputable (In some cases, even as good as the NIT/IITs). If you cannot get into IIT/NITs, the only option left is private colleges or to become a watchman (Seriously, he wrote that). Bhagat implies it on every page that it’s either IIT/NIT or bust. Two boys try to get into IIT/NIT in order to become engineers. To say that the story is extremely shallow might be the understatement of the year. You almost feel that Bhagat wanted to cash in on the Anna Hazare movement against corruption. ![]() Instead, it becomes a highly clichéd love story which has nothing to do with revolution whatsoever. But, Revolution 2020 never even comes close to that. When you name your novel Revolution 2020, one expects a kind of soul searching, revolutionary story about a country that needs change more than ever. ![]() ![]() ![]() Guests are interviewed by positive health psychologist and author, Dr. The podcast features guests from various walks of life with varying perspectives but with the common purpose of living enthusiastically and helping others to do so. The REJUVENAGING podcast focuses on developing the skills and behaviors that lead to enhanced physical and mental health throughout the lifespan. It is the driver thatĪctivates passion, proactivity, and a positive mindset. Enthusiasm is one of the most under-rated of emotions. REJUVENAGING is the art and science of growing older with enthusiasm. This is the podcast for two types of people: those who embrace the aging process and are going through it enthusiastically and those younger people who want to develop the proper mindset and habits that will enable them to age awesomely when that time arrives. ![]() ![]() ![]() I look at how space, movement and identity become intertwined and inseparable within the context of British diasporic consciousness and subjectivity – all this in selected representatives of contemporary British Asian fiction: Monica Ali’s Brick Lane (2004), Nadeem Aslam’s Maps for Lost Lovers (2004), Nirpal Singh Dhaliwal’s Tourism (2006), Sunetra Gupta’s The Glassblower’s Breath (1993), Hanif Kureishi’s The Buddha of Suburbia (1990) and The Black Album (1995) and Meera Syal’s Anita and Me (2004). Within the scope provided by the framework and the chosen corpus, I explore ways in which space and movement are affected by one’s identity formation and, conversely, how identity is transformed by and through various forms of movement in diverse spaces and places. Through the close reading of representative novels I focus on issues like the mutually interdependent and transformative relationship between space and identity, the types of movements generated by space, and the influence movements have on space and the sense of place. ![]() My dissertation addresses the issues of space, movement and identity and investigates the complex nature of their interconnectedness in contemporary British Asian diaspora fiction. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I don’t remember if I was going somewhere or returning to a temporary home.Īt the time of the first biopsy, I was writing an essay on Kathy Acker and her Don Quixote, which opens beautifully, paradoxically with an abortion and a conception: an aborted fetus, a conceived idea. ![]() That’s what I wrote in a text to a professor on my dissertation committee. I don’t remember where I was heading on the day the doctor called and said I could keep my breast. This time, they cleared the margins, which meant I would not have mastectomy and I could go to theory camp that summer which is what I was calling the School of Criticism and Theory at Cornell University, where I had a fellowship to study madness. And yes, the cancer was real and still there, so I underwent a second surgery a week later. But no, the diagnosis wasn’t initially clear, it was pre-cancer, stage zero, a point so small, the doctor wanted to do an excisional biopsy (also called a lumpectomy) to confirm the disease and maybe get it out. I have a history of breast calcifications, and had undergone, three years before, a needle biopsy on the same spot that later held malignant cells. ![]() In May 2016, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. ![]() ![]() Any estimates based on past performance do not a guarantee future performance, and prior to making any investment you should discuss your specific investment needs or seek advice from a qualified professional. ![]() Our articles, interactive tools, and hypothetical examples contain information to help you conduct research but are not intended to serve as investment advice, and we cannot guarantee that this information is applicable or accurate to your personal circumstances.

If the world only knew the real Jordy, the manipulative liar who broke Maya’s heart.
