Aided by a love of mystery fiction the gang dives deep into the underbelly of city life.

South Carolina Dances with Isabel Whaley Sloan

Rachel Haynie dreamed of writing this book about Isabel Whaley Sloan but died in July 2018 before it was finished so her friends joined together to finish the book. Born in Columbia, South Carolina in 1897, Isabel started teaching ballroom dancing and social etiquette when she was 17 years old in 1914. Generations of children, which included Governor Henry McMaster, flocked to her classes all over the state, and she organized dances and social events for thousands of servicemen who were stationed at Fort Jackson during World War II. Her students remember her as a tall, elegant, graciously tough teacher with a silver whistle that she blew vigorously to tame the sometimes-unruly boys and to encourage the girls to sit with their ankles crossed. After teaching dancing and manners in Columbia and around the state for almost three-fourths of a century, she died in 1991 at the age of 93. Her long-time dancing partner Simpson Zimmerman said she never retired.

Displacement in Isabel Allende’s Fiction, 1982–2000
Mel Boland
Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften

nidottu
This book explores the concept of displacement in the fiction produced by the Chilean writer Isabel Allende between 1982 and 2000. Displacement, understood in the author’s analysis to encompass social, geographical, linguistic and cultural phenomena, is argued to play a consistently central role in Allende’s fictional output of this period. Close readings of Allende’s texts illustrate the abiding importance of displacement and reconcile two apparently contradictory trends in her writing: as the settings of her fiction have become more international, questions of individual identity have gained in importance. This discussion employs displacement as a means of engaging with critical debates both on Allende’s individual texts and on her status as an original writer. After examining in detail the seven works of fiction written by Allende during this period, the book concludes with reflections on the general trajectory of her work in this genre.
