Interview with Sam Mills of Dodo Ink
Posted on August 24, 2015 by naomifrisby
It's always exciting to hear of a new independent publisher, especially one committed to bringing 'daring and difficult' fiction to readers. I'm particularly interested in Dodo Ink because I've been following and reading editorial director, Sam Mills, who you might know as the author of The Quiddity of Will Self and MD, Thom Cuel, who blogs as The Workshy Fop, on Twitter for ages, so I know they have excellent taste. (They're also joined by Alex Spears, Digital and Marketing Director.) It was an utter pleasure then to interview Sam about their new venture. At the end of the interview, you'll see that Dodo Ink needs your help *does Lord Kitchener finger point* to help them bring brilliant books to us all. To whet your appetite, the interview's followed by one of the books Dodo Ink will be publishing in 2016, Dodge and Burn by Seraphina Madsen. Enjoy!
How did Dodo Ink come about?
Thom Cuell , Alex Spears and I chatted about setting it up throughout 2014. Stefan Tobler and Nicci Praca of And Other Stories were kind enough to give us some advice early on.
And then one day in the summer of 2014, am email popped into my inbox. It was from my friend Tom Tomaszewski. Tom has written and reviewed for The Independent on Sunday and has been writing fiction for some years. He'd written a novel called The Eleventh Letter, said his email, and he asked if I would read it for him. I spent the weekend completely engrossed in it. Then I tried to help him get it published. I got in touch with various agents on his behalf, but it was deemed a hard sell because it isn't easy to categorise. It is a ghost story, a crime novel, a literary novel, a strange novel. It seemed a shame that such an original, disturbing and brilliant book would never make the bookshelves, so we thought we'd put it out there…
You've said you want to publish novels that are 'daring and difficult', can you give some examples of the type of work you're hoping to find?
Books we love include F by Daniel Kehlmann, Mrs Caliban by Rachel Ingalls, Animals by Emma Jane Unsworth, Zone by Mathias Enard, Great Apes by Will Self, Money by Martis Amis, The Adventure of the Busts of Eva Peron by Carlos Gamerro , Atomised by Michel Houellebecq, Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace, Lightning Rods by Helen DeWitt, Imaginary Cities by Darran Anderson to name a few.
Although some of the novels we are publishing are experimental in their structure, they are all damn good reads. So a good example of a novel we'd love to have published is The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall – for its originality, for its moving love story, for its wild imagination, for its readability. It's the sort of novel you can give to a friend and know they'll love it; it's also like nothing you've quite read before.
We are keen on novels that are weird, odd, dangerous, and daring. I think we'd prefer a book that had energy and big ideas and was a bit rough around the edges than a novel that was polished, safe, traditional and conventional.
You've described the first book you're publishing, Dodge and Burn by Seraphina Madsen, as 'a wild, psychedelic road trip of a novel', can you tell us more about it?
We first discovered the book a few months after we'd announced that we were setting up Dodo Ink. The novelist James Miller emailed me and mentioned that one of his students had written a novel; he added that she was one of the finest students he'd ever taught. Seraphina had published a short story in The White Review, which became the opening of her novella. As you can see from the story, Seraphina's prose style is surreal, imaginative and beautifully crafted. Thom and I immediately started chasing her for the novella, and we signed it up as fast as we could. It begins with the bizarre childhood of Eugenie – 'We were told that our mother's life was terminated by an attack of killer bees whilst vacationing in San Marcos, Mexico…' Eugenie and her twin sister Camilla are abducted and raised by Dr Vargas, a charismatic Svengali-like figure who educates them according to his own philosophy, an esoteric blend of anthropology and psychiatry. The novel charts Eugenie's childhood and later years, when she is on the run across North America and Europe. This road trip is a weird and wonderful one, involving encounters with Candy ravers; meditations on the nature of time; psychedelic Teknivals; an insidious Mothman; and a sweet and tender love story.
What I love about Seraphina's style is that the writing is crafted, but there is a wonderful raw energy pulsing beneath the surface. Sometimes students of creative writing courses end up writing books that have lots of pretty sentences in them, but can feel flat, too polished; on the other hand, a book that is too raw and lacks finesse can end up too messy. Seraphina strikes that perfect balance between the two. Her ideas are wild but her writing is always very controlled. Also, Seraphina has cited her influences as William Burroughs, Hunter S Thompson and Carlos Castaneda. There aren't many female authors writing in this territory, which also excites us.
Dodge and Burn sounds as though it would fit perfectly on the 'Cult Fiction' table in a bookshop. Despite the recent #ReadWomen campaign, this table is the one still dominated by male writers. Why do you think that is?
I find this very frustrating too. The very term avant-garde is a military one, derived from the French for vanguard, suggesting masculine power and might in marching forward to smash the conventional boundaries of fiction. Consider how often critics use the expression this author has mapped out a territory all of their own when praising a novelist they admire. Men are seen as forging ahead, fighting a literary battle, whilst women can stay at home and be domestic. Historically, women have been penalised more than men if they flouted the conventions of everyday life, let alone in their fiction. Perhaps something of these prejudices still remain. However, there are plenty of women who deserve a place on a cult fiction table. A few suggestions: Zoe Pilger, Joanna Walsh, Anna Kavan, Rachel Ingalls, Kathy Acker. Thom also just discovered Joanna Russ, a wonderful female author who penned On Strike Against God, and other gems. She was previously published by the Women's Press.
In June, Kamila Shamsie called for a year of publishing women in 2018 to attempt to address the bias towards men in prizes, reviewing and book lists. And Other Stories and Tilted Axis Press have already said they will take up the challenge, will Dodo Ink be joining them?
We admire the campaign; we admire And Other Stories and Tilted Axis for signing up to it. However, we've had submissions from male and female authors we'd love to publish in 2018. However, we will definitely aim to achieve a healthy balance.
I also think that the issue raised is not really one of quantity. You can go into any bookstore and see plenty of novels by women. It's the way that novels by women are sometimes published and presented that is the problem . There's nothing wrong with a pink cover on a romantic comedy (provided the author is happy with it); but a pink cover on an ambitious literary novel by a female writer is misleading and frustrating. I also think that there are still certain expectations about what sort of novels women should write. I have also noticed, in recent years, that there have been quite a few novels by female writers that are compared to, say, Angela Carter, or Margaret Atwood. There is nothing wrong with this at all, given that Carter and Atwood are greats, but I feel there is also something quite safe about marketing female authors in this way. I would also like to discover and champion the female equivalents (or betters) of Will Self, Martin Amis, Michel Houellebecq. Women who are being ambitious, daring, dangerous and challenging in their fiction. Women who engaging with politics, big ideas, surreal subject matter.
Why are you running a kickstarter?
We all decided that it was a great way of connecting with readers right from the start. I remember my perception of the publishing world when I was first trying to break in as a writer: it seemed like a distant castle, surrounded by a moat and walls, occupied by a privileged elite, defended by gatekeepers. In reality, most people are publishing are actually very friendly and passionate about publishing. A kickstarter is a good way of tearing down those perceptions and boundaries, so that everyone can be involved.
People can make a pledge and get goodies in return. They can back us for as little as £5 and get a bookmark, or sponsor £30 for some free books and their name printed in the back of our books.
The 3 of us running Dodo are all pretty broke and working very hard on our company out of sheer passion for our authors, but we won't use a penny of the kickstarter to pay ourselves. It's all going on our authors and their brilliant books. So far we've raised 20%. The average donation is around £30 and they all add up. We have a way to go yet, but have been very moved by the initial surge of support. Everyone can be part of the Dodo Ink family (without sounding too much like The Godfather!) and know they helped to make it happen.

Hunt for American Heiress Continues With Manuscript Found in Cave in Altamira, Spain
By ALICE SHIFT 7:00 AM ET
A notebook, bearing a manuscript, and the fingerprints of Eugenie Lund, an American heiress missing since August 19–, has been found in a cave in Altamira, Spain. Dr. Erik Lund, Antarctic explorer and heir to the publishing empire established by his late father, has offered a $2m reward for any information leading to the safe return of his daughter. The notebook was found by a tourist visiting the famous Paleolithic cave paintings, two hundred meters from its entrance. No further information regarding Lund's disappearance has surfaced. Below is an excerpt from the manuscript found inside the notebook.
We were told that our mother's life was terminated by an attack of killer bees while vacationing in San Marcos, Mexico with Dr. Vargas at his family home. Vargas described how the insects had gone for the insides of her ears – a deliberate technique to destabilize the victim. Mother fell off the horse, waving her hands in the air to beat them off and hit her head on a rock. Vargas thought it more prudent to spring the brutal truth upon us rather than the fiction of a prolonged stay in a Mexican hospital followed by eventual death. He bent down close to our faces with a pained expression, miming the scene – Mother inert on the ground, Vargas swatting his way through the lethal cloud of throbbing insects, his eventual defeat as he was heavily bombarded in a kamikaze-esque onslaught he likened to the attack of the USS Bunker Hill. All the way through this pantomime, a small shifty spot in his account brushed my brow like the wing of a bat. Vargas assured us Mother was unconscious and had not suffered. The killer bee specialists informed him that the perfume she was wearing (Fleurissimo, commissioned by Prince Rainier III for Grace Kelly composed of tuberose, Bulgarian rose, violet, and Florentine iris) had incited the bees to violence. If she and Dr. Vargas had been smoking cigarettes, the attack would never have happened. Killer bees abhor smoke, even from one cigarette.
Our father was in the midst of an expedition to Antarctica and could not be found. Dr. Vargas adopted us – as was specified in our mother's will in the event of her death and the inability to locate any kin. The adoption process was quick in light of the fact it took place in Mexico. We ceased to be Lunds and became Vargases.
We moved shortly thereafter, with our beloved Great Danes, Viktor and Shiloh, from Mexico to the coast of Maine with bruise colored squalls, milky blizzards, crystallized winter wonderlands and picturesque summers. The house in the forest reminded us of the Russian fairy tales and Tolkien epics our mother and father used to read to us at bedtime. For the first several weeks we wondered whether we had been swooped up into the hinterlands of Siberia but the fantasy was dispelled when Vargas took us for a drive into the Arcadian mountains where, along the way, we passed rambling farm houses, mobile homes, mongrel capes and ranches, all with American flags flying on the front lawns, along with a proliferation of various lawn ornaments — windmills, geese, deer, flamingoes, gnomes, the occasional exposed buttocks in the form of a painted wood cut out meant to resemble a person bending over, for those who wished to turn their lawn into a smutty joke.
The first two years we remained in hiding, confined to the house and grounds. The great rambling Queen Anne edifice was concealed in the forest – elaborate and irregular, made of stone and wood with numerous towers, turrets, verandas, gables and dormers adorned with patterned shingle roofs. Vargas had reason to believe we were at risk of being kidnapped. For this, there were also armed men Vargas brought from his home town in Mexico who patrolled the area and lived in a hut we were forbidden to approach. We were of course not to have any communications with them whatsoever, not even pantomimes.
A regimented life began. We quickly apprehended that a surface obedience must be maintained, or else suffer the consequences.
In spring Camille and I collected flowers to make tea in the forest behind the house. After checking the rabbit snares we would follow a path to a break in the canopy of trees where white, lace-like flower formations fanned out, seeming to hover in the air from a distance. The plant's stalks were mottled an enchanting blood red and in the color there was a message. It became immediately apparent to us both that the plant had been placed there by forest spirits to turn humans into faeries. If we could transform ourselves, we would be free. Then we could find father. Surely his love for us was so great that our change in form would be of no consequence. In fact, it was quite likely he would be impressed by our feat. We made a tea with the leaves, flowers and stalks and christened it Pan's Elixir. To our great surprise, nothing happened. There was no discernible change in us or our environment. Then it dawned on Camille that the plant alone had little or no effect, perhaps because it was meant to be used in an alchemy with other plants, rituals, or spells we had yet to find, but which would be revealed to us in time. There was also the possibility the potion had a cumulative effect. We decided to continue drinking the elixir, in hopes its power would eventually come alive in us.
If we were lucky, four rabbits would be caught in the snares. We rubbed pine pitch on our hands before skinning them. A knife was never necessary. You can just tear their hides off. It's like they're wearing a snowsuit. In torrential downpours we gutted them in the shed. It was cleaner to do the skinning and gutting outside. In the snow was best, on a clear day under the ice encrusted canopies with the sun coming through. The guts are easily jiggled out onto the ground once the rabbit is cut open and best left for an animal to eat. We tied the skinned, hollowed rabbits around tree branches straight as effigy poles and carried them home, pink in the sun along with handfuls of the Pan Elixir flowers.
Some days, before checking the snares, we would walk through the forest to higher ground where underneath eighty foot pines stood a small cabin. Curiosity and the thrill of exploration had driven us there. The first time we set eyes on the scene it reminded us of Gustav Doré's etchings, wreathing and humming, flickering before us with the darkness and light of fairytales. Camille's cheeks flushed. I felt the throb of her exhilaration and surprise, her wide eyes darting into mine as we made our approach through beams of sun and twisting, cool shadows, until we reached the front wooden steps where Camille grinned impishly, batting off the gnats, mosquitoes and other flying insects. I knocked on the door. Then we found a crowbar in a shed and popped a window open.
This cabin became our church. We made an altar, burned sage and performed ceremonies consistent with accounts of the Passamaquoddy tribe described in a social anthropological study we had found in one of the libraries. Inside this book was an inscription in black ink in our father's fluid scrawl, a pseudo-haiku poem he had written for our mother:
Two fawns in the wood,
A fire rages,
I would kill for your love.
(It was unsettling.)
According to our maps the Passamaquoddy reservation was a twenty minute drive away but Vargas never took us there, despite our pleas. He said that the foray would only lead to disappointment as the natives were hostile to white people on their land. We had to make do with the books in the library.
Along with Passamaquoddy rites we delved into other sources of ancient knowledge from around the world. We prayed to the Great Spirit, to the gods and goddesses, to the ancestors, making a plea for Dr. Vargas' deliverance from earthly incarnation, thrust into a death not even the Ba or Ka could survive – a total annihilation of his soul and essence. In return we offered ourselves as sacrifices, in the service of those legions of supernatural beings to whom we prayed for protection, signs and direction.
Camille and I often smoked sage in a pipe we'd found in the cabin. One day we had a vision. There was a man. He walked around the room but he didn't pace. Everything he did, he did with purpose – there was intelligence behind it. He spent a long time cleaning guns. He looked sad and kind. After he had left we could still smell his spice scented aftershave and gun oil. We suspected he was the ghostly double (vardøger in Norse mythology) who precedes a living person, performing their actions in advance. We weren't ever surprised to see the man's spectral form pass through the cabin door with his dog behind him, or to find him anywhere in the vicinity of the pine forest that contained the cabin, for that matter. His presence elicited mixed feelings of angst and attraction. Each time he appeared it was as though a spell was cast. We would go dizzy in the head for a moment and all would seem as though something had shifted but what, we could not pinpoint exactly. In this altered state was the certainty that our destiny was linked to this man's, that our paths would cross and that he was, for us, some kind of a savior. (This knowledge did not stop us from trying to save ourselves, however –we continued with the Pan's Elixir tea, ancient rites, occult practices, et cetera.)
The man stayed with us for minutes or even hours. His image would flicker, like on an antique TV screen, sometimes returning to full force, inevitably flickering out again at the end of the transmission. We knew the dog's name was Brigitte because on several occasions we had heard the man's phantom call to her through the pines. But the man did not speak clearly otherwise – we did not learn his name. In the beginning we referred to him simply as the man. At one point we thought perhaps he should be called the hermit, but it seemed to us he was not truly that. He appeared to be searching for something – a memory, something inside of his head. We toyed with The Seeker, but that was not right either so we had no other title for him. Then one afternoon we had the occasion to follow him and Brigitte on one of their hunts and finally understood what it was we should call him. When the flickering phantasm of the deer came into sight he stopped dead in his tracks with Brigitte not five feet from him and slowly raised the rifle. The buck stood frozen through the trees at a good distance, perhaps a thousand yards away. Before the animal could turn its head and bound off in the opposite direction, it fell with the crack of the rifle blast. The man was very good, an expert. From that day forward we called him Deadeye. We longed for the day we would meet him in flesh.
In our cabin we discovered that time was not as immutable as Dr. Vargas had led us to believe. He used this illusory 'fourth dimension', among other things, to contain us but one day we came upon a passage in an anthropology textbook on Africa which supported our own observations and empowered us:
Africans apprehend time differently. For them it is a much looser concept, more open, elastic, subjective. It is man who influences time, its shape, its course, and rhythm (man acting of course, with the consent of gods and ancestors). Time is even something that man can create outright, for time is made manifest through events, and whether an event takes place or not depends, after all, on man alone. If two armies do not engage in battle, then that battle will not occur (in other words, time will not have revealed its presence, will not have come into being).
Time appears as a result of our actions, and vanishes when we neglect or ignore it. It is something that springs to life under our influence, but falls into a state of hibernation, even nonexistence, if we do not direct our energy toward it. It is a subservient, passive essence, and, most importantly, one dependent on man.[1]
Physics textbooks confirmed the fact that time's rate of passage varies in perception, and also in reality, quite dramatically even, as one approaches the speed of light. For example, if a group of people were to travel in a rocket at ninety-nine percent the speed of light and orbit the earth for ten years, upon their return they would find that seventy years had passed down below. Because of the speed at which they were travelling, these rocketeers would have aged only ten years while everyone else left behind on earth had aged seventy. Dr. Vargas spent the many years of our captivity devoted to experiments which aimed to break the mechanism of time on earth. He used us as his subjects, as was the case for all of his investigations into the natural world. Vargas told us that if it were possible to travel the speed of light, one would be everywhere in the cosmos all at once. He said there was evidence to suggest that what we know as time is happening all at once, with all moments of one's life accessible at any given point or node. Our biology creates the illusion that it is happening chronologically.
Camille and I applied the knowledge we'd gleaned from Dr. Vargas' teachings to some of our own. Like this we were often able to steal time from Vargas, reaching states in which the minutes became hours. We sensed when it was time to leave – Vargas had a palpable, psychic radar he had acquired in India that would eventually find us like a heat seeking missile – a chill spooled up our spines and our palms began to itch.
On spring and summer afternoons we would go back to the white, clapboard guest cottage, our kneecaps and ankles pricked by undergrowth, over felled trees, through a meadow of forget-me-nots in the humid, fragrant wood with our rabbits on the effigy poles and handfuls of the white, lacy flowers. We didn't bring the dogs because we weren't allowed to hunt with them – only Vargas held that privilege. Vargas said we had to keep our hunting separate. He also told us that if we didn't eat meat our teeth would fall out and we would grow hair all over our bodies like werewolves (facts we verified in one of his medical journals). If we wanted to keep healthy we had to learn to trap and hunt. Fishing would have been ideal because there was a lake an hour's walk through the forest (according to our maps) but Vargas didn't like us eating fish, or venturing that far off alone. We studied hunting manuals and practiced in the field until we were capable. The snares weren't that difficult and the yield was adequate.
In the autumn we would accompany Vargas on deer hunts with the cross-bow. The cleanest kill was the one that hit the heart. If done correctly the animal would drop dead in its tracks. Once Vargas shot a charging stag in the chest. It died with its head down so that its enormous rack of antlers became stuck in the ground. Vargas called his men in with the walkie-talkie and they came with a four by four to pull it out. We were told to hide in the bushes until they left. Communication with the men was forbidden. The first deer we witnessed Vargas shoot down left us devastated. He told us we had to slit the throat and drink the blood. We both knew that there was no way out and obeyed. We tried our best to show no emotion, as that was one of the elements Vargas fed off, and did as we were told. The animal's blood seemed to taste no different than our own. The bodies were cut up and stored in a freezer in the basement. Vargas ate most of the kill but forced us to eat it as well as the rabbits, for health reasons. He collected the heads and skins and gave us lessons in the art of taxidermy and tanning. We spent many hours perfecting his trophies and rugs. Out of the hooves and shins we made rattles which we kept at the cabin in the woods where we had crafted them according to an account in one of the social anthropology books on Midwestern Native American tribes. The rattles were used as instruments to cure as well as to call bison. Camille and I were allowed all of the rabbit pelts and made jackets and boots out of them for our Barbie dolls.

In the Media: 22nd March 2015
Posted on March 22, 2015 by naomifrisby
In the media is a weekly round-up of features written by, about or containing female writers that have appeared during the previous week and I think are insightful, interesting and/or thought provoking. Linking to them is not necessarily a sign that I agree with everything that's said but it's definitely an indication that they've made me think. Also, just a note to make it clear that I'm using the term 'media' to include social media, so links to blog posts as well as traditional media are likely.
The big news this week is that Kath Viner became the first woman appointed to the role of editor-in-chief at The Guardian in its 194 year history. The first woman to edit a UK broadsheet and only the second EIC of The Guardian to have attended a (selective) state school.
Unfortunately, the other trend in articles this week have been about the abuse women have suffered from a variety of sources; Heidi Stevens wrote in the Chicago Tribune 'Hate mail lesson: Uncombed hair threatens the natural order'; Sarah Xerta wrote 'The Brick Wall: The Intersection of Patriarchy, Privilege, Anger, and Language' on VIDA; Juliet Annan 'is a Lazy Feminist' in publishing on the Penguin Blog; Sara Pascoe wrote 'The hymen remains an evolutionary mystery – and the focus of the oppression of women's sexuality' in The Guardian; Katie McDonough wrote 'If you're shocked by this Penn State frat's nude photo ring, you're not paying attention' on Salon; Jessie Burton took 'Speakers' Corner' on Hunger TV; Claire Byrne wrote, 'One sordid, gross and offensive comment must have been thought up while he sat there scratching himself in his grey fading jocks. I wonder what makes people think it's acceptable to make comments like that?' in the Irish Independent, and Ashley Judd wrote, 'Forget Your Team: Your Online Violence Toward Girls and Women Is What Can Kiss My Ass' on Mic.
And there's been a number of articles about race; Rebecca Carroll wrote 'Calling out one racist doesn't make white people any less complicit in supremacy' in The Guardian; Jia Tolentino wrote 'How to Talk About Race With Your Starbucks Barista: A Guide' in Jezebel; Maya Goodfellow wrote, 'Climate change is easier to ignore because right now it's people of colour who suffer the most' on Media Diversified; Vulture interviewed Claudia Rankine on 'Serena, Indian Wells, and Race' and KCRW's Bookworm asked her about writing the racial 'other'.
This week's Harper Lee news: To Kill a Mockingbird was named #78 on The Guardian list of The 100 Best Novels; Casey N. Cep reported on 'Harper Lee's Abandoned True-Crime Novel' in The New Yorker, and Jonathon Sturgeon asked 'Is It Time to Get Hopeful About Harper Lee?' on Flavorwire.
And prizes this week went to Louise O'Neill who won the inaugural YA Book Prize and Louise Erdrich won the Library of Congress Award.

In the Media: 14th September 2014
Posted on September 14, 2014 by naomifrisby
In the media is a weekly round-up of features written by, about or containing female writers that have appeared during the previous week and I think are insightful, interesting and/or thought-provoking. Linking to them is not necessarily a sign that I agree with everything that's said but it's definitely an indication that they've made me think. Also, just a note to make it clear that I'm using the term 'media' to include social media, so links to blog posts as well as traditional media are likely.
It's been a bumper week for articles by/about female writers, particularly those concerning what it means to be a female writer and why reading books by women is so undervalued.
Sam Mills, author of The Quiddity of Will Self, wrote an outstanding essay for The Weaklings titled Literary Luminaries: Gender and the Avant-Garde Novelist. It comes in two parts, Beards vs Vaginas and Read Women and contains some of the best points I've read on why the establishment doesn't like avant-garde female writers.
Robin Black wrote about learning to spell women's names while men buy my new book for their wives on the Read Her Like an Open Book blog. Interestingly I hadn't come across this blog before. It's run by Bill Wolfe who only reads books written by women.
And two pieces on crime fiction. The first is an old piece but well worth a read if you haven't seen it before, Eve Seymour on Women Writers, Women's Books on why she chose to write behind a male pseudonym and Laura Miller in Slate on why today's most exciting crime novelists are women.
I think we're all very aware of what my feelings are on female writers and this year's Man Booker Prize but here's Antonia Honeywell with her thoughts written just prior to the revealing of the shortlist. (Antonia's blog which features a countdown to the publication of her debut novel, The Ship, is also well worth a read. In this month's piece it's about the years of writing it took to finally hold the proof of her novel.)
Ali Smith was one of two women lucky enough to make the Booker shortlist this year. Here's a great piece she wrote for Liberty on D.H. Lawrence and fraudulent transactions.
Twice winner of the Booker Hilary Mantel's also been in the media this week in preparation for the publication of her latest short story collection, The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher. She took The Guardian's Q&A seemingly with tongue very firmly in cheek.
While the previously shortlisted Sarah Waters has been further discussing her latest novel, The Paying Guests. *MASSIVE SPOILER ALERT* Anna Carey has posted outtakes from her Irish Times interview with Waters on her blog. If you haven't read the book, this will ruin it completely. If you have read the book, it's very interesting.
If you've ever wondered what it's like to be chosen for a list, there's a good piece by Julie Cohen on Women Writers, Women's Books on being chosen for the Richard and Judy Book Club. (If you're not in the UK, you might not have come across this but it is huge here.)
A writer who's no stranger to lists, Kerry Hudson – it'd be quicker to type the prizes her debut Tony Hogan Bought Me an Ice Cream Float Before He Stole My Ma wasn't listed for – was on writerstories.tv discussing her excellent second novel, Thirst, why she established The Womentoring Project and working class characters in literature.
Her characters do unlikeable things sometimes and anyone who reads this blog regularly knows that I like characters who do unlikeable thinks or are wholly unlikeable. Nathan Pensky has written about readers who don't like books with unlikeable characters for Electric Literature. Interestingly, almost all of the writers he looks at are female.
Finally, this week's lists. Another three excellent ones to have a look at:
Writer Lynn Kanter has started blogging about 30 Women Novelists she thinks you should know. She's up to number four as I write this.
Crime writer Sarah Hilary has complied her favourite crime fiction books of 2014.
Dea Brøvig, author of The Last Boat Home, has compiled the best books about mothers.

For the last five years, everyone has always been excited to see Alex's photos after he has been on his travels. Finding his passion in 2011 he bought himself his first SLR camera and a one-way ticket to Costa Rica. He spent a year traveling south through Panama all the way to Chile, documenting his trip along the way.
Alex has been practicing and wowing us ever since. Watch the slideshow and read in Alex's own words about some of his favorite photos.
Here we watched and took photos as two herds of elephants met and greeted each other with a song and dance on the dried riverbed in Amboseli National Park.
This shot was taken in the Crystal Caves. Famous as the inspiration for the Fraggle Rock series co-created by a Bermudian native.
A cold morning by Moraine Lake in Banff – we arrived early and managed to capture the moment the sun breached the mountain peaks.
This photo was taken in a 4th century rock-hewn church in Wukro – the priest was completely uninterested in us and went on his usual business allowing for the perfect candid shot.
I was in search of a more peaceful spot in the hectic medina and managed to find a few streets off the main arteries for some great pictures.
The waves were crashing in Foz, a short distance from central Porto – with the setting sun, it was a great opportunity to set up a long exposure.
This Vervet monkey at the andBeyond Phinda Forest Lodge had stolen an apple and climbed up a safe distance to watch me cautiously as she ate.

Athlete Ciara Neville, from Limerick, has performed remarkably at the women's sprint relay final at the World U20 Championships in Tampere, Finland on Saturday, July 14 where her team won a silver medal at the competition.
The quartet of Ciara Neville, Molly Scott, Gina Akpe-Moses, and Patience Jumbo-Gula running an Irish junior record of 43.90 seconds to claim the second place which was just 8 seconds behind the champion, Germany with the record of 43.82. The bronze medal went to Great Britain in the record of 44.05.
Eighteen-year-old athlete Ciara Neville, from Monaleen, is running with Emerald Club in Limerick. She has just completed her Leaving Cert in June and she has obtained great results in a record of 11.54 in the semi-finals earlier in the week.
Mayor of the city and county of Limerick, Cllr James Collins congratulated and praised Ciara Neville and team-mates on their achievement in Finland.
It was the third time that Ireland achieved the honour at the World U20 Championship in the 32-year history of the competition.
"This is only the third time that Ireland has achieved a medal in the competition's history. I know that the people of Limerick are immensely proud of Ciara who's had an incredibly busy year as she also had to study and complete her Leaving Certificate this Summer at Castletroy College," said Mayor Collins.
"I look forward to meeting Ciara and honouring her achievements at a later stage when she returns to Limerick from Finland. To all the team I say well done girls, you've done your country proud and you'll return as world silver medalists, what a sensational achievement," he added.

Arpiar Aslanian (, 16 December 1895 – 15 February 1945) was a French anti-fascist of Armenian descent, communist, husband of the writer Louise Aslanian, and a prominent figure in the French Resistance.

Early life

Arpiar Levonovich Aslanian was born on 16 December 1895 in Etchmiadzin, (Russian Armenia) in the family of Levon and Varvara Aslanians. He had an older brother, Derenik, and a sister — Arpik. His father, Levon, was a principal in a school and also worked in the Etchmiadzin monastery, where he was in charge of the library collections.

Aslanian received a juridical education in Tsarist Russia and became a lawyer.

Aslanian was a member of the Dashnaktsutyun. He had to leave Armenia to avoid prosecution by Bolsheviks.
Aslanian travelled to Tabriz, where in 1923 he married Louise Grigorian, more than ten years younger than him.

Life in France

In 1923, the couple moved to Paris, taking with them Mania and Arshaluys (Louise's mother and sister, respectively). In Paris Louise wanted to continue her musical education playing piano. In order to let her do that, Aslanian, an educated lawyer, who was unable to practice in a foreign country, became a general laborer.

In 1940 Aslanian joined the French Communist Party.

French Resistance
After the Nazis occupied France, the Aslanians joined the French Resistance in 1940. The Aslanians worked in an underground publishing house and actively engaged in supplying fighters of the French Resistance with weapons.
Aslanians had connections with Resistance activists : Missak Manouchian, Mélinée Manouchian, Arpen Tavitian, Ayk Dpirian, Shag Taturian and others.

Arrest, concentration camp, death
On 26 July 1944 both Aslanians were arrested in France by the Nazis. Louise's diaries and manuscripts were captured and destroyed, in particular,  «Histoire de la Resistance» and «La Chute de Paris».

On 15 August 1944, they were taken from Toulouse to Buchenwald. Arpiar was then transferred to the camp Dora-Mittelbau, while Louise was taken to Ravensbrück.

On 15 February 1945, Aslanian, was killed at camp Dora-Mittelbau.
Louise Aslanian was killed presumably in Ravensbrück after 2 February 1945.

In North America, UK, Finland and Sweden, Buy Nothing Day is held the day after US Thanksgiving and Black Friday. In Australia, it's today Saturday, the 24 November. The 2 rules for the day are really simple. Challenge yourself to switch off from spending for a few hours and don't spend any money. It's also a good opportunity to reflect on why we shop and spend so much. The main reasons why we shop and "buy just for the sake of buying" are; we're never satisfied with what we already have, boredom, loneliness, feeling unprepared, no willpower and FOMO.
Which of those reasons are true for you?

Abstract: In order to improve the readability of RFCs while supporting their archivability, the canonical format of the RFC Series will be transitioning from plain-text ASCII to XML using the xml2rfc version 3 vocabulary; different publication formats will be rendered from that base document. With these changes comes an increase in complexity for authors, consumers, and the publisher of RFCs. This document serves as the framework that provides the problem statement, lays out a road map of the documents that capture the specific requirements, and describes the transition plan.
Abstract: This document defines the "xml2rfc" version 3 vocabulary: an XML-based language used for writing RFCs and Internet-Drafts. It is heavily derived from the version 2 vocabulary that is also under discussion. This document obsoletes the v2 grammar described in RFC 7749.
Abstract: In order to meet the evolving needs of the Internet community, the canonical format for RFCs is changing from a plain-text, ASCII-only format to an XML format that will, in turn, be rendered into several publication formats. This document defines the HTML format that will be rendered for an RFC or Internet-Draft.
Abstract: The HTML format for RFCs assigns style guidance to a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) specifically defined for the RFC Series. The embedded, default CSS as included by the RFC Editor is expected to take into account accessibility needs and to be built along a responsive design model. This document describes the requirements for the default CSS used by the RFC Editor. The class names are based on the classes defined in "HTML for RFCs" (RFC 7992).
Abstract: In 2013, after a great deal of community discussion, the decision was made to shift from the plain-text, ASCII-only canonical format for RFCs to XML as the canonical format with more human-readable formats rendered from that XML. The high-level requirements that informed this change were defined in RFC 6949, "RFC Series Format Requirements and Future Development". Plain text remains an important format for many in the IETF community, and it will be one of the publication formats rendered from the XML. This document outlines the rendering requirements for the plain-text RFC publication format. These requirements do not apply to plain-text RFCs published before the format transition.
Abstract: This document discusses options and requirements for the PDF rendering of RFCs in the RFC Series, as outlined in RFC 6949. It also discusses the use of PDF for Internet-Drafts, and available or needed software tools for producing and working with PDF.
Abstract: This document specifies SVG 1.2 RFC — an SVG profile for use in diagrams that may appear in RFCs — and considers some of the issues concerning the creation and use of such diagrams.
Abstract: In order to support the internationalization of protocols and a more diverse Internet community, the RFC Series must evolve to allow for the use of non-ASCII characters in RFCs. While English remains the required language of the Series, the encoding of future RFCs will be in UTF-8, allowing for a broader range of characters than typically used in the English language. This document describes the RFC Editor requirements and gives guidance regarding the use of non-ASCII characters in RFCs.
Abstract: This document describes some aspects of the "prep tool" that is expected to be created when the new xml2rfc version 3 specification is deployed.

I'm sure you guys are familiar with The Amazing Race series. Paolo and I actually submitted our applications but sadly didn't get through. If I'm not mistaken they're shooting the second season now that will air this coming October. Anyway, I'm sharing this video for the sake of sharing.. hahaha.


After a long winter like this one, when there's a sunny warm day, I am driven to distraction by my urge to eat and drink outside. Luckily, that distraction led me to some really delicious cocktails that would be perfect for sipping outside this spring.
Boil water and take it off the burner. Add the tea bags and brew for about 5 minutes. Pull the bags out and add the ¼ cup maple syrup, the whiskey and citrus juices. Add more syrup for a southern sweet tea version. Let the tea cool in the fridge, serve with ice and slices of oranges and lemons.
I'm not sure if this counts as a drink but it's boozy and refreshing so it meets my criteria.
Peel and cut up the mango, or just buy pre-cut. Combine rum and sugar in a bowl and stir until sugar dissolves. Pour in coconut milk and whisk until well combined. Mix in mango and spoon into popsicle molds, making sure mango is evenly distributed. Freeze and enjoy! For a variation, put popsicles in 1/4 filled glasses of chilled champagne so you don't have to worry about melting.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the gin, Lavender-Sage Vermouth, lemon juice and honey and shake well. Never substitute artificial lemon juice in a cocktail, it really can ruin a drink. Strain your mix into a chilled, ice-filled glass. Stir in the club soda. Never add the soda to the shaker. I forget this all the time and it makes a huge mess. Lastly, garnish with the sage sprig.


An Income Payment Protection Plan, is an insurance contract that will pay a monthly income if you cannot work usually due to accident or sickness (although redundancy cover is sometimes available as an add-on).
There are two forms of Income Payment Protection: Long Term and Short Term. A short term plan will pay a monthly benefit upon receipt of a valid claim for a maximum of 12 month (some companies offer 24 months), where a long term plan can pay a claim up until your selected retirement age (50-70).
As an insurance brokering service, Top Quote UK Financial Services are authorised to compare the two products and we find that both have a significant place in the marketplace and that it depends on the individual's situation.
The advantage of a short term plan is that the policy can be setup almost immediately with no underwriting. This means that a policy can be applied for and usually started the same day without them writing to your doctor, therefore in event of a claim, they would write to you doctor and assess your background; usually excluding any conditions suffered in the last 12 months. A short term contract also does not base price on age, occupation, smoker status or health, so you may find this a cheaper option.
With a long term plan, applications are underwritten before a policy starts, so it can often take a few weeks to set up a plan. The advantage of this is that all of your medical background is taken into account and accessed before the policy is setup. This means that should a claim occur, your medical records have already been accessed, although they will still want proof from your doctor about you illness. With long term plans, any exclusions will be put in writing to you before you accept a contract and any valid claim can be paid up until you selected retirement age. A Long Term plan may cost slightly more as it is a comprehensive policy and takes into account many factors, however you are more likely to have a longer claim on a long term income protection policy than a short.
Income Payment Protection - The Verdict?
There is no doubt that the long term contract is a better policy, however prices are based upon you occupation, gender, health, etc. If a long term policy is financially viable, we would highly recommend this cover be considered. If however the long term policy works out too expensive, we would still recommend a short term contract, as it is better to have some cover in place rather than none at all.

Microsoft sneaks in ads for OneDrive, other apps in Android Share menu
Jonny Caldwell Email @JonnyACaldwell Jul 9th, 2019 in Latest news
Microsoft's Office applications already do very well on Windows 10 devices, and as a significant source of revenue for the company, it's no secret that it wants to promote its apps for other platforms. One of those platforms is Android, where the company has found an interesting trick can use to further advertise its apps.
Microsoft is promoting its various Office applications, including OneDrive, into the Android Share menu for users to install the appropriate app depending on the file involved (via Android Police). The company is able to do this by integrating share links to its app on the Play Store directly in another app the user might have on their phone, i.e. the Your Phone Companion.
As an example, a user with the Your Phone Companion app installed who attempts to share an image from the media gallery has the option of choosing to install OneDrive as an option, if they happen to be looking for a place to keep it. This is definitely an interesting tactic, as anyone with the Your Phone Companion app will already have a PC on hand, and are likely already somewhat familiar with Office and might have already heard of the app before. This in turn increases engagement and can eventually lead to more long-term subscriptions to Office 365.
Of course, this concept isn't entirely new in itself. OneDrive, for example, already recommends Word, PowerPoint, or Excel if a user opens a related file from it and doesn't already have any one of these apps installed. However, Microsoft is expanding its reach by adding its download links to the Share menu, regardless of whether it was accessed in one of Microsoft's own apps or one from a third-party.
Many users likely won't understand that these install links are simply ads or even where they came from. However according to Android Police, Android Q—Google's upcoming version of Android—will reveal the source of them by putting the application name first and then subtitling it with the name of the app link.
Via Android Police.
Either way, these advertisements can serve to be useful to those discovering the online world, or annoying to those who might already have their minds made up as to their preferred online services. How do you feel about them?

Youth Squad Training With First Team
adam2231 February 27, 2015 24
Tim Sherwood's latest move on the training ground has been to join the training sessions of Villa's youth side and first team. Sherwood is keen having a better look at Aston Villa youth players and is analysing whether or not there is any talent in there that would be capable of making an impact for Aston Villa this season.
Gordan Cowans and Sherwood, who once played together at Blackburn are now working closer together to try to graduate some more Villa academy players.
"Tim's focus on player development is great for everybody here at the club.
"He's got us training next to the first team now so if he needs anyone, he can shout straight over but then he also comes over and has a look at us training.
"If you look back on what he did at Tottenham with the young lads down there, he was the one who was pushing them from behind-the-scenes, telling the manager to have a look at them.
"He saw them in training, in games with the U21s and was pushing them on and really encouraging them.
"You'd like to think it will be the same here with us.
I've got no issues with this, what's so ever. However you could argue that the mass majority of our most talented young players aren't actually at our club at this given moment. Current I feel as the likes Jack Grealish could make an impact in the first team. Some have argued that during his substitute appearances he hadn't done enough to start. But under Sherwood it could very well be a different story. Additionally I do believe that Graham Burke has a future at Villa Park, but I just don't see him having a break through season this year. I reckon next year he'd be a better option. Finally, I believe that Janoi Donacien has a future at Villa Park. Earlier in the season he went off to Tranmere Rovers and played a handful of games. He can play at either right-back or centre-back. But again, with the likes of Lowton, Baker, Senderos and Okore in front of him in the pecking order, it just looks unlikely that he'll be given some game time.
But next season there could be some real break through's! Gary Gardner, currently on loan at Nottingham Forrest has made a massive impact for the club and the fans want him to stay their permanently. But with Sherwood at Villa, I and I believe that mass majority of Villa fans want to him stay at the club and be given a legitimate chance. Callum Robinson is another player whom I'm really excited about. Currently on loan at Preston North End, he can score goals and looks quite the handy player. I seriously believe that he could be Villa's 'Harry Kane' next season.
It's exciting to see what the next set of Villa graduates can do for the club. The last time we had a large series of graduates being promoted was under Houllier. As a result of that we have the likes of Ciaran Clark, Nathan Baker and Andreas Weimann at the club today. Of course the amount of graduates will very much vary on the fact if Villa stay in the Premier League or not.

Perfect answer, just in case Sherwood reads this, is to put Gabby at left back. Okore and Clark CBs and the manager's choice at LB if Hutton is unfit. Gabby has the speed and he has demonstrated he can tackle cleanly. The CBs will have to shout at him not to lag back, but that is routine. If he does get the chance to overlap he can deliver. There is no point in Gabby playing up front if Benteke is on the pitch at the same time.
DSVilla February 28, 2015 at 9:59 am . Permalink
I can see where you're coming from OLL but not for me. I don't think Gabby has the concentration to do the job properly for 90 minutes. I would go with Baker there as the best option in the circumstances.
I hope Sherwood can affect the mindset of the players. Newcastle have their own injury problems and very mixed form. They have a manager who will be out of a job at the end of the season, and I'm sure the players will know that. Hopefully that will knock their confidence. I would have 100% expected to lose this under Lambert, but feel that it's 50/50 now. We need to get at them, rather than sit back and contain.
The key to Villa's season is to get Benteke scoring. The other strikers are hopeless (Kozak apart though of course he can't help us right now). The midfield is incapable of scoring more than a handful of goals between them across a whole season. The defenders chip in every now and then but it's Benteke or nobody. The team has to create chances for him, and I'm sure that Sherwood will see that.
I mean manager's choice at RB not LB.
If you're going to gamble, please do so sensibly and only bet what you can afford to lose.

Q: System freezes when performing intense disk/cpu operations, Disk Utility says the disk is ok Sometimes my system (macbook air, mid-2013, sierra 10.12.3) freezes (beachball + can't really click anything although some mouse movement is possible) and doesn't come back to normal unless I reset it.
This usually occurred during archiving an app, but today happened when I tried opening extensions in safari preferences.
I've tried running Disk Utility, but it says that the disk is ok.
What other diagnostic can I run?

A: It sounds as though your install is corrupted. You may to boot to your recovery parition (Command-R after the chime), followed by the "Reinstall macOS" option. It should only overwrite the core system files and leave your User/User data/Custom apps untouched, but to be safe you should make a Time Machine backup first.

A: Turns out I did it to myself. I've turned off memory compression some time ago, forgot about it and that caused the issues.
In particular I've set sysctl -a vm.compressor_mode to 1 while is should be set to 4 for optimal experience.
It's really hard to imagine how radical the change was. I came from "trauma of opening another youtube video" mindset to "let's not bother about open apps anymore"!

WLS Radio's Tom Roeser is retiring from the airwaves after broadcasting his weekly show on WLS radio for nearly 17 years. Unfortunately Tom is in the hospital and WLS Radio has a spot on its website to give his fans a chance to wish him the best.
Roeser joined WLS Radio in 1994 and has served as the host of "The Tom Roeser Show". Roeser, a member of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists AFL-CIO, has been a senior correspondent and talk show host for Catholic Family Radio, a network with outlets in Chicago, Los Angeles, Denver, Minneapolis, and Milwaukee. He is an occasional commentator on "Chicago Tonight" which is seen on WTTW-TV, Chicagoland public television.
He was born in Evanston, Illinois and graduated from St. John's University at Collegeville, Minnesota. Tom started his career covering politics in Minnesota where he became a research-publicist to the Minnesota Republican Party; then an aide to two U.S. congressmen and a governor. He returned to Chicago to launch The Quaker Oats Company's government relations department in 1964 and continued his education with post-graduate studies at DePaul and Loyola Universities.
He was named manager-public affairs for The Quaker Oats Company in 1964, promoted to Director-Public Affairs in 1966 and served in that capacity until 1969. He left Quaker temporarily to assume a role in the federal government as assistant to the secretary of commerce for minority enterprise (1969-70). He then recommended the abolition of his own agency which was a controversial challenge to the permanent bureaucracy which led to his reassignment as Director-Public Affairs for the Peace Corps where he became a foreign service officer (1970-71).
Roeser returned to Quaker in 1971 where he was promoted to vice president-government relations. He served there until his retirement in 1991. Then he established the firm of Thomas F. Roeser & Associates and represented a variety of clients in government relations. He formed The Chicago Daily Observer, the city's first internet 5-day a week newspaper in 2007.

Nextracker Commissions New Manufacturing Plant with JM Steel in Texas to Serve Southern USA Solar Power Market
Nextracker collaborates with JM Steel to launch new steel manufacturing line in Sinton, Texas, to shore up global supply disruptions
SINTON, TEXAS, 20 April 2022 – Nextracker and JM Steel, a division of JENNMAR USA, announced today a dedicated solar tracker production line on the campus of the new Steel Dynamics, Inc. (SDI) facility near Corpus Christi. Nextracker launched a new facility with JM Steel to manufacture next-generation, low-carbon tracker components for solar power plants throughout the southern United States.
"Customers want protection from steel and logistics cost volatility, and logistics delays associated with shipping, containers, and ports", said Dan Shugar, Founder and CEO of Nextracker. "We are migrating to domestic production to stabilize pricing and achieve superior on-time delivery for our customers. Moreover, US steel manufacturers like Steel Dynamics Incorporated (SDI) have a much cleaner, lower carbon production processes than most overseas manufacturers. With JM Steel, we are collocated next to SDI Sinton, the newest steel mill in America, further lowering cost and improving sustainability by integrating key manufacturing activities on a single campus."
A dependable steel supply is central to utility-scale solar, which is now the lowest cost form of energy in many locations. In response to global supply disruptions, Nextracker made the strategic decision to focus on manufacturing in the United States. IHS Markit Insight report recently found that, "Steel procurement and manufacturing location will be a key concern for tracker suppliers as they contend with growing local content requirements among global markets and volatile shipping freight costs."
Partnering with JM Steel, Nextracker will have a dedicated supply of critical materials within one of the fastest growing and biggest solar markets: Texas and the Southern US. Last year, Texas overtook California as the top-ranked state for solar capacity additions adding 6.6 gigawatts (GW) of solar with an additional 23 GW expected by 2023.
"JM Steel's proximity to SDI will provide Nextracker and their customers cost-effective products with quick response times to feed the growing solar market in Texas and the South", said Tony Calandra, CEO of JM Steel and JENNMAR USA. "And all of the steel being used to make Nextracker's products will be made with SDI's newest Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) technology, which utilizes recycled or scrap steel as a raw material for a lower carbon footprint which is a perfect fit for Nextracker's solar products."
Steel manufacturing typically is energy-intensive, but the Electric Arc Furnace, a "next-generation" process, is much more efficient and cuts pollution dramatically. EAF-based steel mills typically are as much as 75% less carbon-intensive than traditional blast furnaces.
"SDI is thrilled to welcome our customers JM Steel and Nextracker to our Sinton, Texas campus, and supply our environmentally-preferred low carbon steel for Nextracker's innovative solar tracker products", said Barry Schneider, Senior Vice-President, Flat Rolled Steel Group at Steel Dynamics.
Once fully operational, the new Nextracker production line will support about 50 new local direct jobs and provide multi-GW of solar tracker capacity annually. Solar trackers have become the best way to build utility-scale solar power plants globally typically increasing energy production by 20-30% more than fixed-tilt applications that do not track the sun. Additional jobs will occur in the upstream steel manufacturing and indirect jobs through the supporting service industries.
The 97,000 square-foot JM Steel Sinton facility opened in October 2021 and represents a $40 million investment. Ideally situated, the Nextracker production line provides the ability to service major markets by truck, while providing easy access to three Class 1 railroads (UP, BNSF, & KCS) and a deep-water port on the inland waterway system. With this dedicated production line, Nextracker and American manufacturing partners are building a resilient supply chain close to proposed solar projects across the South.
JM Steel's dedicated Nextracker fabrication line becomes operational as of this news release, and all products manufactured for Nextracker will be "Made in the USA".
