Hild is here!!

November 15th, 2013

So!! Excited!!!

As I said (or perhaps ranted), Nicola is a brilliant writer and you should all go buy her books! I very highly recommend Slow River and Ammonite, and we still have a copy of Always in stock – let us know if you want it. :-)

 

hild“Steeping us in the taste of seventh-century England’s mead, the weight and warmth of its gorgeously woven and embroidered fabrics, and the myriad sights, sounds and scents of long ago, Seattle writer Nicola Griffith has created a marvel and a joy… But it’s the book’s sheer beauty that will most astonish readers. As Hild rushes to rescue her now-grown half-brother and his wife, she envisions herself as a hawk stooping to kill his pursuers. ‘Waking and sleeping alike were one thing of hollowing air and falling.’ Sharp as steel, clear as garnet, essential and sensual and right, Griffith’s telling of Hild’s adventures offers us something far better than mere comfort: the lure of the sublime.” —Nisi Shawl, Seattle Times

“I expected big things from this book, and I was not disappointed. Griffith’s prose is a tapestry, stitched so meticulously that I found myself gasping, at times, at the perfection of her word choices. . .[Hild] has it all—the epic sweep, the utterly convincing level of detail, and the larger-than-life characters. Griffith has taken a handful of pages from the Venerable Bede and made a gift of them for us all, creating in Hild a passionate, unique and thoroughly unforgettable heroine.” Alyx Dellamonica, Tor.com

Think Wolf Hall plus Game of Thrones, with a feminist twist. The writing is exquisite, with all the beautiful and gritty details of the early medieval period. Fans of historical fiction will gobble it up, but the setting lends just enough mysticism that fantasy readers will want to take a look, too. One of the best historical novels I’ve read in quite some time.”  Darien Library’s Blog

 

 

Charles Butterfield Event ‘Field Notes’ at 6pm on Friday, Nov. 1

October 26th, 2013

Local author and retired teacher Charles Butterfield discusses his new book of poetry Field Notes, on Friday, November 1 at 6pm.

“Charles Butterfield is not a dog lover who writes poems, he is a poet who writes about dogs. Or perhaps it is more accurate to say he writes poems where the topic is dogs, but the themes are age, death, relationship, love — all the concerns of a full life. From the very first poem, “A Dog Is Not a Fit Subject,” the reader can see how our relationship with dogs acts as a lens to magnify our humanity. After an unsentimental list of things that dogs do at the beginning of the poem, he ends with “His whimpering home in the dark/pawing quills from his snout is not a poem/but your opening the door to him/with a rock in your gut is.” Gail Sosinsky Whitman, Reader’s Favorites

Speaking personally, I was greatly reminded of Seamus Heaney when reading Field Notes. Though the writing styles are different, the clarity of writing and the deepness therein  is fabulous.

Please come join us for what I think will be a fascinating evening!

Rebecca Coffey Event ‘Nietzsche’s Angel Food Cake’ at 6pm on Friday, Nov. 8

October 26th, 2013

Local author Rebecca Coffey discusses her new book Nietzsche’s Angel Food Cake…and Other “Recipes” for the Intellectually Famished.

Think about it:  When Friedrich Nietzsche made angel food cake, did the angel survive the encounter? When Sigmund Freud handled raw fish, where did his thoughts take him? Exactly what did Dorothy Parker mean by the term “Parker House Rolls?” And how did Ernest Hemingway handle his favorite bullfight souvenirs?

Nietzsche’s Angel Food Cake: And Other “Recipes” for the Intellectually Famished is foodie humor for anyone with a good liberal arts education, no matter how vaguely they remember it. Twenty-two mostly long dead cultural monoliths share “their” succulent recipes, including: *B. F. Skinner’s How to Shock and Blanch Asparagus * Dorothy’s Parker House Rolls * Emily Post’s Crudités * Ian Fleming’s Lemon Caper Dip * Harper Lee’s How to Kill a Mockingbird * F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Pickled Tomatoes *

 

We do hope you’ll join us!

I don’t know about you, but I am addicted to cookbooks. I can read them like literature. In fact, I have over 150 at my house right now. My favorite is the American-German cookbook from Milwaukee. I have the second edition, published in 1924, and what makes it brilliant? It’s half in German, half in English.

gelfan

“Gelfan’s novel is quietly complex, filled with real people in situations you have to wonder how you’d handle yourself. … Found Objects is original, well-written, smart, and complicated, and I recommend it to anyone interested in exploring the complexities of human relationships.” – Nancy, Goodreads.com.

“In this fluent, engaging novel, Peter Gelfan penetrates a modern family’s domestic arrangement and exposes in keen, artful detail what happens when it comes under threat and begins to unravel. A wise, rueful tale for our times, unerringly told, by a masterful writer.”
Tony Cohan, bestselling author of Canary, On Mexican Time, and Valparaiso
