SUMMARY:Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o
DESCRIPTION:reading from \nMinutes of Glory and Other Stories \npublished by The New Press \nA dazzling short story collection from the person Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie calls “one of the greatest writers of our time” \n\n\n\nNgũgĩ wa Thiong’o\, although renowned for his novels\, memoirs\, and plays\, honed his craft as a short story writer. From “The Fig Tree” (“Mugumo” in this collection)\, written in 1960\, his first year as an undergraduate at Makerere University College in Uganda\, to the playful “The Ghost of Michael Jackson\,” written as a professor at the University of California\, Irvine\, these collected stories reveal a master of the short form. \nCovering the period of British colonial rule and resistance in Kenya to the bittersweet experience of independence—and including two stories that have never before been published in the United States— Ngũgĩ’s collection features women fighting for their space in a patriarchal society; big men in their Bentleys who have inherited power from the British; and rebels who still embody the fighting spirit of the downtrodden. One of Ngũgĩ’s most beloved stories\, “Minutes of Glory\,” tells of Beatrice\, a sad but ambitious waitress who fantasizes about being feted and lauded over by the middle-class clientele in the city’s beer halls. Her dream leads her on a witty and heartbreaking adventure. \nPublished for the first time in America\, Minutes of Glory and Other Stories is a major literary event that celebrates the storytelling might of one of Africa’s best-loved writers. \nOne of the leading writers and scholars at work today\, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o was born in Limuru\, Kenya\, in 1938. He is the author of A Grain of Wheat; Weep Not\, Child; and Petals of Blood\, as well as Birth of a Dream Weaver\, Wrestling with the Devil\, and Minutes of Glory (all from The New Press).\nCurrently Distinguished Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of California\, Irvine\, Ngũgĩ is recipient of twelve honorary doctorates\, among other awards. \nWhat has been said about the work of \n\n\n\nThis thrilling testament to the human spirit had\, for me\, a fierce resonance. . . . I could not help feeling that his luminous words were meant for those victims and many others being persecuted across the world\, a way of urging humanity to never surrender to the demons of fear and silence. (Ariel Dorfman\, The New York Times Book Review) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Engrossing … At once exhilarating and defiant\, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o’s memoir is a thought-provoking document of a grim time in Kenyan history.” (Publishers Weekly) \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Washington Post reviews Birth of a Dream Weaver\, saying “every page ripples with a contagious faith in education and in the power of literature to shape the imagination and scour the conscience.” (The Washington Post) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Leslie Carol Roberts
DESCRIPTION:Leslie Carol Roberts discusses her new book\, Here Is Where I Walk. \n\nAbout Here is Where I Walk \nIt is in the Presidio of San Francisco\, California\, that Leslie Carol Roberts walks. The Presidio\, America’s only residential national park tucked wholly into an urban setting\, is a fading historic forest. Here is where Leslie’s memories of other places\, people\, and travels emerge. Here is where the author’s home has been for more than a decade and here is the place she raised her two children as a single mother. \nIn this thickly textured literary treasure\, Leslie turns her daily journeys\, rich with observation and recollection\, into revelations of deeper meaning. Through her daily walks into the Presidio\, Leslie accepts the invitation of the beckoning trees and finds herself colliding with the urban coyote\, the peculiar banana slug\, and the manzanita. She notes both ridiculous and poignant aspects of human ecosystems—parents bragging about Austrian ski vacations\, grocery stores packed with nannies—all in pursuit of what it means to live a life of creativity and creation. \nThe twelve episodes\, each connected to a month of the year and interwoven with field notebooks\, explore everything from Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone in the fields where he spoke with the birds to the work of Western botanist Alice Eastwood. Leslie reflects on the high school art teacher who first inspired her thinking about aesthetics\, the tragic accident that left her severely injured\, her subsequent work as a college professor teaching writing\, and the loss of a beloved student to cancer. In all this\, places of exquisite beauty and complexity provide her with exactly the scaffolding needed to survive\, with nature serving as a tonic. Here Is Where I Walk provides a vivid answer to how we can find our place\, not only in nature but within ourselves and the world we walk.
