A little novel set in black and white like one of those old European movies about death and life. This book stars Rudolph and his opposite Simone who circle a small lake, observing the blue glows that wander the woods, the shores and the waters.Back in high school I would go to the Neptune Theatre every week. Driving the floating bridge over Lake Washington or going Lake City Way, looking for parking, sometimes under a leafy tree, sometimes on the slant by the IHOP. The Neptune had a green neon sign that floated out front. Inside, you bought your ticket from a boat shaped counter and then you could go up to the balcony. That's where I met Fellini, Bergman, Cocteau, and I wanted this adventure to be an homage to them, a sort of European black and white movie book.This idea began during a hellish summer when forest fires turned our air into a white smog and the sun was dim as an orange penny. A Martian world, it was hard to even breathe out there. But by September it started to clear and I began to take walks around the lake. I still had a couple weeks away from my office job and I liked to think this would be my morning routine when I finally retire. I would begin every day with a walk around the lake.

Understanding Alice Walker serves both as an introduction to the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner's large body of work and as a critical analysis of her multifaceted canon. Thadious M. Davis begins with Walker's biography and her formative experiences in the South and then presents ways of accessing and reading Walker's complex, interconnected, and sociopolitically invested career in writing fiction, poetry, critical essays, and meditations.Although best known for her novel The Color Purple and her landmark essays In Search of Our Mothers's Gardens: Womanist Prose, Walker began her career with Once: Poems, The Third Life of Grange Copeland, and In Love and Trouble: Stories of Black Women. She has remained committed not merely to writing in multiple genres but also to conveying narratives of the hope and transformation possible within the human condition and as visualized through the lens of race and gender.

Riddle-me-ree Just what is this book? Is it an adult book for children or a children's book for adults? It certainly must not be read by politicians, especially Prime Ministers. Small Paul's extraterrestrial antics have accidentally revealed shocking parliamentary misbehaviour above and beyond the call of duty. This is a must-read for any citizen concerned with the future of parliamentary democracy. And also for anyone owning a wardrobe or a homburg hat. Be warned. Be aware. Be a reader.

In the Balata Refugee Camp in Nablus, Palestine, sixteen-year-old Amal Tuqan finds her escape in tightrope walking. Living in an alley so narrow that " the walls hold their breath," she practices tirelessly on thin wires and slippery rebar. Her extraordinary talent leads her to Tel Aviv in the summer of 2019, where she joins The Flying Kids, a circus that brings together Israeli and Palestinian children. There, she forms a deep friendship with Tali Glazman, a Jewish Israeli juggler, and they discover they share a painful bond: both have lost their fathers to violence. As their friendship defies the deep-seated animosities that divide them, The Wire-Walker reveals more than just a tale of friendship; it is a raw and powerful commentary on the daily struggles faced by Amal and her community in the occupied West Bank. Set against the backdrop of 2019-2020, this poignant tale serves as a prequel to the struggles that have unfolded since, highlighting the enduring spirit of youth amidst conflict.

This is the 1844 story of how Samuel Colt's remarkable five-shot pistol proved decisive as Texas Ranger Captain, John Hays, finds his select group of fifteen men he has chosen to patrol the Texas Hill Country north of San Antonio, are suddenly surrounded by 75 Comanche warriors bent on slaughtering them. The timing could not have been more critical. Texas president, Sam Houston, is tenuously negotiating for peace will all Texas Indians far to the north . Any disturbance could destroy progress made toward that goal. Outnumbered 5 to 1, Hays has no choice this day but to bet the lives of his men on his decision to have armed each with two of Colt's 5-shot Paterson pistols. Unable to pay his men, Houston had given Hays these surplus Texas Navy weapons thinking they might be something of value. The Navy had found them useless. Hays studied Colt's design carefully and trained his men in what he believed could be their only application. Unable to reload this weapon while mounted, Hays knew, if ever forced to rely on them, that his men must make every shot count or face a certain death. He is convinced that they must only be fired in proximity able to inflict a powder burn. It takes men with exceptional courage not to fire any weapon until just within feet of a screaming, charging warrior. Complicating matters is that the Paterson 5-shot pistol requires the use of both hands to ready for firing. Designed without a trigger guard and no visible trigger, one had to hold the pistol by its barrel as the other cocked the hammer. Only then did the trigger descend-an act that was made even more dangerous if facing an opponent who knew that no weapon then known was able to fire twice. Hays had bet the lives of his men, and his own, that this theory will work. Hays successful application will save a bankrupted Colt. Colt, accepting recommendations from these rangers will create a repeating pistol that helped win the West.
