'Midwinter Break' by Bernard MacLaverty
December 22, 2022 kimbofo
Fiction – paperback; W. W. Norton & Company; 208 pages; 2018.
Northern Irish writer Bernard MacLaverty's Midwinter Break is an intimate portrait of a long marriage between two "empty nesters" who are keeping secrets from each other.
Gerry, a retired architect, is desperately trying to hide his dependence on alcohol. At the same time, Stella, a former teacher, wants to explore her faith by joining a religious order — without her husband tagging along.
It's only when the pair go on a midwinter break to Amsterdam that things begin to go awry and they are forced to confront the fact that they want different things out of life now that they have raised their family and no longer work. Stella describes it like this: "I'm tired. I'm tired of living the way we do."
A quietly devastating story
Slow-moving and with next to no plot, the story unfolds gently in the third person.
MacLaverty employs a close observational style that details the minutia of travel and the minor tensions and annoyances that can arise when a couple are confined together in strange surroundings.
As the pair traverse the city, visiting the sites — the Red Light District, the Rijksmuseum and Anne Frank's house, amongst others — we follow their every move in minute detail, eavesdrop on their conversations and come to understand their deep love and affection for one another. But we can also see the pressure points.
MacLaverty switches the viewpoint from character to character with each new chapter, giving the reader a glimpse of the individual mindsets at play, and from this clever, but gently deployed device, we see how Gerry and Stella are very different people, driven by different agendas, motivations and desires.
Through this slow but intimate revealing of personality, a quietly devastating picture builds of a couple who endured a tragedy early on in their marriage and handled it in vastly different ways. That event, which resulted in them leaving their native Belfast for a new life in Scotland, has shaped them in ways that are still playing out 50 years later…
Contemplative — and funny, too
I loved this deeply contemplative book, with its intimate insights into a marriage and its carefully constructed narrative. It's not overly heavy or depressing; it's realistic and wise and sometimes laugh-out-loud funny.
There's a particular scene in Anne Frank's house, in which Stella is mistakenly thought to have stolen an item, that is quite hilarious, and there are other more observant "truths" that resonated. I'll leave you with this gem, a metaphor for the push and pull of Gerry and Stella's long marriage:
A gap opened up in the traffic, and he walked her to the middle. There was a black four-by-four approaching but they had time to cross. Gerry strode forward but Stella was nervous and held back. He tightened his grip on her hand but she had frozen in the middle of the road.
'Come on.' She wrenched her hand away from his. Her whole body was immovable so Gerry walked on across the road. He waited for her on the far pavement. She stood in the road looking this way and that. The black four-by-four cruised past her and she came almost running to Gerry's side.
'Some day you'll get us both killed,' he said.
'I can judge for myself,' she said. 'But you can't judge for me.'
Other (less favourable) reviews include Brona's at This Reading Life and Karen's at Booker Talk.
I read this book back in August as part of my participation in #20booksofsummer 2022 edition but just never got around to reviewing it. I bought it secondhand from my local book warehouse in January 2022.

'Cal' by Bernard MacLaverty
December 26, 2017 December 26, 2017 kimbofo
Fiction – Kindle edition; Vintage; 178 pages; 1998.
Guilt, atonement and the futility of war are the central themes in Bernard MacLaverty's 1983 novel Cal.
Set in Northern Ireland, it tells the story of Cal, a young, unemployed Catholic man living on a Protestant housing estate at the height of The Troubles. Each night he waits to be fire-bombed out of the home he shares with his father and each morning he gets up to find everything is okay.
But there's a dark, pervasive atmosphere, one that seems only conducive to fear and violence, and for much of this novel we follow Cal's tortured path as he wrestles with his own conscience, for he has been the accomplice in a horrendous crime for which it seems impossible to atone.
He felt that he had a brand stamped in blood in the middle of his forehead which would take him the rest of his life to purge.
Refusing to work in the nearby abattoir with his father (for reasons that become apparent much later in the story), Cal is a drifter but under pressure from local IRA men, including a shady character known as Crilly, to take sides. When he refuses to do so, the pressure only intensifies:
'Do you still want to – refuse to help?' 'I'm afraid so.' 'Not to act – you know – is to act.' Crilly looked confused. 'By not doing anything you are helping to keep the Brits here.' Crilly nodded his head vigorously and said, 'If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.' 'But it all seems so pointless,' said Cal. Skeffington paused and looked at him. He spoke distinctly, as if addressing one of his primary classes. 'It's like sitting in a chair that squeaks. Eventually they will become so annoyed they'll get up and sit somewhere else.' 'How can you compare blowing somebody's brains out to a squeaking chair?' said Cal. Skeffington shrugged his shoulders. 'That's the way it will look in a hundred years' time.' 'You have no feelings.'
When Cal gets a job working on a local Protestant farm, he finds his fortunes slightly improved: the young librarian he has been admiring from afar lives on the farm with her small daughter. She's a widow and Cal befriends her. Before long, he is obsessed and falls in love with her. But she's unattainable — and not merely because she's from the "wrong" religion.
Cal is often described as a love story. On the face of it, that's a good description. But it's also a deeply moving story about how the political effects the personal, how ordinary people can get caught up in wider conflicts and the impact that has on their day-to-day lives.
I read it with a mixture of horror and fascination. There's exquisite anguish and pain on every page. The pacing is brilliant, and MacLaverty's use of flashbacks to explain events in Cal's past are so expertly done that each new scene comes as a powerful revelation: that nothing in this story should be accepted on face value, that everyone has secrets to keep and allegiances to maintain.
Out of this horrific mire, Cal's tortured existence, caught between the terrible deed he has committed and the redemption he seeks, is nothing short of stunning. He seems to be constantly in a state of paralysis: unable to move ahead of his own accord, passively waiting to be the victim he feels he deserves to become:
To explain how the events of his life were never what he wanted, how he seemed unable to influence what was going on around him. He had had a recurring dream of sitting at the wheel of a car driving and at a critical point turning the wheel and nothing happening.
Despite being an avid Irish literature fan, this is the first novel by Bernard MacLaverty that I have read. It won't be the last.

Does Your Storage Make Sense?
You can't create a truly useful space unless you have an END RESULT in mind. Start by asking yourself what you want from your storage. Are you concerned about maximizing space? Being able to see everything you own? Protecting your treasures? Cutting down on time spent dusting? Creating a focal point for the room? Displaying or concealing your belongings?
Then remember these objectives as you organize. Your choice of supplies and storage location should be determined according to what you hope to accomplish with your organizing efforts. Everything you do -- whether it's cleaning out or buying a container or expanding a closet -- should be an effort to accomplish these goals.
Look around your house -- do you see anything that is clearly out of place? Any bowling balls stored in the kitchen or power tools thrown in with the toys? Don't laugh -- I've actually seen both of these situations! Your storage will serve you better if you think in terms of logical categories. Think back to those exercises when you were in kindergarten -- "which of these things go together."
Begin by sorting your belongings according to purpose -- sports, travel, grooming. Then group similar items together travel accessories with your luggage, rags in the same place as other cleaning equipment, office supplies in one spot. Don't forget accessories and related items -- keep the knife sharpener with your cutlery and the extra bits with the drill.
Before you can create an organizing "grand plan," you need to take stock of your belongings. Do you have sporting goods scattered all over the house, clothes in three different closets, and miscellaneous "homeless" items here and there? Make a room-by-room tour -- be sure to collect up everything you want to store in a particular storage space BEFORE you begin organizing. There is nothing more frustrating than designing the perfect closet, then realizing that you forgot 15 pairs of shoes!
A large part of being organized is having a set spot for everything you own. As you sort through your stuff, create a pile of "homeless items" that need to be incorporated into your storage spaces. Then do your best to find a logical place for each -- no halfway spots allowed! You shouldn't have to guess where to put something.
Each time you assign an item to a storage space, ask yourself why you are stashing it there. Because it's close to where you will use it? Because it will be easy to see or reach? Because that's the first place you would think to look for it? If you don't have a GOOD REASON for storing an item in a certain place, please rethink your decision. The worst mistake you can make is to randomly stash your belongings around your home or office -- how will you ever find them again?!
Getting at your belongings shouldn't require a lot of strain or effort. Take a quick look at your existing storage -- do you bend and stretch to reach items you use all the time? You can make your life great deal easier by keeping motion in mind as you organize. Throughout your home or office, you will find a variety of places in which to stash your stuff.
Storage spaces that fall at or near eye-level are considered PRIMARY storage -- these areas are easily accessible, and should really be reserved for items you use on a daily basis. Look around -- is your primary storage cluttered with objects you rarely touch? Could these be moved a bit further away -- to a SECONDARY storage area between knee and shoulder height? And what do you do with those incredibly inaccessible spaces -- such as the garage, high cabinets, or the back of the closet? This TERTIARY storage is meant for items that you use only a few times a year -- like holiday decorations, memorabilia, and archived records.
You should strive to choose a storage space that is APPROPRIATE for it's contents. There are so many factors to take into account -- an object's size, shape, "breakability," and weight. Are you storing heavy boxes on a high shelf? Sounds like a concussion waiting to happen! And you should always try to match form with function as you evaluate your storage spaces -- how can you best use shallow shelves, a tall thin cabinet, or a deep desk drawer? Organizing requires a balance between creativity and common sense.
You can't just throw any old box of stuff in a storage space and call it "organized." Some of your belongings are going to require a little more special treatment. Even those items that you wouldn't normally consider to be "fragile" can be damaged by the climate. Attics, garages, and basements are usually the most at-risk. Are your storage spaces climate-controlled? Do they get really hot in the summer? Cold in the winter? Damp when it rains or is humid? Do you have problems with insects or other rodents? You may need to wrap an item, toss in some cedar chips, or purchase a special container before you stash your belongings away. If you think there is any chance of damage, pick a different storage space.
Have you ever had to open 6 different boxes to find what you were looking for? Organizing supplies should make your life easier, not hide your belongings away from the light of day! Use see-through clear plastic containers and label everything -- shelves included! You should immediately recognize the contents simply by looking at the container. Accessories such as drawer / shelf dividers, lazy susans, pull-out baskets, and stackable shelves can also help you make the most of your storage by subdividing larger spaces.
Remember that your storage is an ever-changing and dynamic part of your life. You can't just set up a storage system and think that you are "finished." As you acquire new possessions -- as your lifestyle and interests change -- your storage needs will evolve. The first rule is don't fill your cabinets, closets, and drawers to capacity. Leave approximately 15% of your storage space free for all those great future purchases. Also be willing to adjust your system as your needs change -- what seemed like a good idea at one point may require some improvement down the road.

Q: What are differences between redux, react-redux, redux-thunk? I am using React + Flux. Our team is planning to move from flux to redux. Redux is very confusing for me coming from flux world. In flux control flow is simple from Components -> actions -> Store and store updates back components. Its simple and very clear.
But in redux its confusing. There is no store here, yes there are some examples without using store. I went through several tutorials, it seems everyone has their own style of implementation. Some are using Containers and some are not. (I don't know this Containers concept and not able to understand what mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps does).

*

*Can someone clearly explain how control flow happens in redux ?

*What are roles of components/containers/actions/action creators/store in redux ?

*Difference between redux/react-redux/redux-thunk/any others    ??

*It would be very helpful if you can post links to any simple and precise redux tutorials.

A: *

*redux: Library for managing application state.

*react-redux: Library for managing React application (redux) state.

*redux-thunk: a middleware for logging, crash reporting, talking to an async API, routing etc...

A: To answer you title question:

What are differences between redux, react-redux, redux-thunk?

*

*redux: main library (independent from React)

*redux-thunk: a redux middleware which
helps you with async actions

*react-redux: connects your redux store with ReactComponents

A:

*

*Can someone clearly explain how control flow happens in redux ?

Redux has (always) a single store.

*

*Whenever you want to replace the state in the store, you dispatch an action.

*The action is caught by one or more reducers.

*The reducer/s create a new state that combines the old state, and the dispatched action.

*The store subscribers are notified that there is a new state.

*What are roles of components/containers/actions/action creators/store in redux ?

*

*Store - holds the state, and when a new action arrives runs the dispatch -> middleware -> reducers pipeline, and notifies subscribers when the state is replaced by a new one.

*Components - dumb view parts which are not aware of the state directly. Also known as presentational components.

*Containers - pieces of the view that are aware of the state using react-redux. Also known as smart components, and higher order components

Note that containers / smart components vs. dumb components is just a good way to structure your app.

*

*Actions - same as flux - command pattern with type and payload.

*Action creators - DRY way of creating actions (not strictly necessary)

*Difference between redux/react-redux/redux-thunk/any others ?

*

*redux - flux like flow with a single store, that can be used in whatever environment you like including vanilla js, react, angular 1/2, etc...

*react-redux - bindings between redux and react. The library offers a set of react hooks - useSelector(), and useStore() to get the data from the store, and useDispatch() to dispatch actions. You can also use the connect() function to create HoCs (higher order components), that listen to the store's state changes, prepare the props for the wrapped component, and re-render the wrapped components when the state changes.

*redux-thunk - middleware that allows you to write action creators that return a function instead of an action. The thunk can be used to delay the dispatch of an action, or to dispatch only if a certain condition is met. Used mainly for async calls to api, that dispatch another action on success / failure.

*It would be very helpful if you can post links to any simple and
precise redux tutorials.

*

*Redux official docs

*Getting Started with Redux

*Building React Applications with Idiomatic Redux

*Presentational and Container Components

A: To my mind, Redux, is still a little confusing for the first time of studying this library, and need some time to understand and start to use one. Even if you use Redux Toolkit - the latest library (from Redux authors) - it also has some tricky moments which might be unclear from the beginning.
I`m using Master-Hook.
Redux , react-redux , redux-thunk , reselect are already installed in the library and you need to follow the steps.
1st step: Create 'src/hooks.js' file
import MasterHook from 'master-hook'

export const useMyHook = MasterHook({
  storage: "myStorage",
  initialState: {
    myName: 'Vanda',
  },
  cache: {
    myName: 10000,
  }
})

You create your component and export it (useMyHook)
Set the initial State (initialState:...)
Set how long the value need has to stay cached in ms (cache:...)
2nd step: Add Provider to src/index.js
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import './index.css';
import App from './App';
import MasterHook from 'master-hook';

ReactDOM.render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <MasterHook.Provider>
      <App />
    </MasterHook.Provider>
  </React.StrictMode>,
  document.getElementById('root')
);

*

*Import MasterHook

*Wrapp your file with MasterHook.Provider

3rd step:  Use your hook in src/App.js
    import logo from './logo.svg';
    import './App.css';
    import { useMyHook } from './hooks'

    function App() {
      const { myName, setMyName } = useMyHook()

      return (

              My name is {myName}

             setMyName('Boris')}
              className="App-link"
            >
              Set my name to 'Boris'

      );
    }

export default App;

Import your hook
useMyHook
Declare your hook
const { myName, setMyName } = useMyHook()

Use it in your code
{myName}

and
{()=>setMyName('')}

Delete href attribute to prevent it from changing the page. setMyName action is created automatically.
No need to connect to the store. It's already connected.
4th step: Run your project!
npm run start

That`s it :)

A: Redux thunk is a middleware and it monitors or observes any dispatch action that passes through the system.

A: bellow image demonstrates how data flow in redux :
how the data flows through Redux?
Advantages of Redux are listed below:
Predictability of outcome – Since there is always one source of truth, i.e. the store, there is no confusion about how to sync the current state with actions and other parts of the application.
Maintainability – The code becomes easier to maintain with a predictable outcome and strict structure.
Server-side rendering – You just need to pass the store created on the server, to the client-side. This is very useful for initial render and provides a better user experience as it optimizes the application performance.
Developer tools – From actions to state changes, developers can track everything going on in the application in real-time.
Community and ecosystem – Redux has a huge community behind it which makes it even more captivating to use. A large community of talented individuals contribute to the betterment of the library and develop various applications with it.
Ease of testing – Redux's code is mostly functions which are small, pure and isolated. This makes the code testable and independent.
[Organization][2] – Redux is precise about how code should be organized, this makes the code more consistent and easier when a team works with it.

Q: Initialisation statement in for loop i want to know what happens when we don't use it
eg
    for(;i<=10;i++)
    {
}

I searched some sites but i am very confused.
Thanks.

A: Well first off, it will give an error saying that i is not defined. But if you declare it ahead of the loop, it works fine:
var i = 0;
for(;i<=10;i++){
  console.log(i);
}

You can also remove the termination statement as well, and keep it in the loop like this :
var i = 0;
for(;i<=10;){
  console.log(i);
  i++;
}

It'll work, I hope that answers your question...
Its similar to a while loop where you initialize a variable first and then keep the loop with the comparison and the terminate it with a termination statement. So according to the code in your question, what you are basically do is something like this:
while(i <= 10){
  console.log(i);
  i++;
}

Which will give an error.
