Next Week at Biblioasis: We Welcome Benedek Totth, author of DEAD HEAT
October 15, 2019 /in Latest News /by biblioasis
The winner of Hungary's Margó Award for Best First Book of Prose soon to be available in English:
DEAD HEAT
Written by Stephen King's Hungarian translator, Dead Heat shocks and then stays with you. It's like Lord of the Flies meets Friday Night Lights.
Next week Benedek will be at the bookstore (1520 Wyandotte St E) on Friday, October 25 at 7 PM. Come on out for an unforgettable reading!
Can't make Friday? He will be in Ann Arbor at Literati Bookstore the night before! Here are the details.
☠ ☠ ☠
Born in Hungary in 1977, Benedek Totth studied American literature and now works as an editor and translator in Budapest. His translations into Hungarian include works by Stephen King, Cormac McCarthy, Hunter S. Thompson and William S. Burroughs. Dead Heat, his first novel, caused a sensation in Hungary, where it won the Margó Prize for best first novel of the year. It has been published in translation in France and Slovakia.
In a nameless Hungarian town, teenagers on a competitive swim team occupy their after-training hours with hard drinking and fast cars, hash cigarettes and marathons of Grand Theft Auto, the meaningless sex and late-night exploits of a world defined by self-gratification and all its attendant recklessness. Invisible to their parents and subject to the whims of an abusive coach, the crucible of competition pushes them again and again into dangerous choices. When a deadly accident leaves them second-guessing one another, they're driven even deeper into violence.
Brilliantly translated into breakneck English by Ildikó Noémi Nagy, Dead Heat is a blistering debut and an unforgettable story about young men coming of age in an abandoned generation.
"This is a satire of the bleakest strain: there is scarcely a page that does not offend. And yet the result is utterly enthralling…As savage, reckless, and abhorrent as the world Totth delivers is, what's worse is how frighteningly real it all feels. Dead Heat is an undeniably uncomfortable novel, but so too is the truth it's trying to get at."—Quill and Quire, starred review
"Totth's novel and its translation from the Hungarian by Nagy both excel… in conveying the banality and numbness as its narrator proceeds through this parade of horrors.The juxtaposition of transgressive behavior with competitive sports recalls nothing quite so much as Jim Carroll's The Basketball Diaries. Like that book, the way in which this narrative is told makes for compelling reading even as the acts it describes can inspire shudders. Totth's debut is a harrowing experience but also a frequently gripping one."—Kirkus
"Let's say it up front: reading Dead Heat, the Hungarian writer Benedek Totth's first novel, is a shock . . . [like] the cry of love and desperation flung out by a generation that's finished before it can begin, before it can even reach maturity."—Yann Perreau, Les Inrockuptibles
"A brilliant novel, but brilliant like a black diamond and cursed so that you don't want to hold it, a tale that never lets you go, no matter how much repugnance you may feel."—Encre Noire
"Intense, brutal and relentless. As on a mad merry-go-round, you're delighted not to be able to get off before it's over. But watch out: the harsh form and subject matter will leave more modest readers shaken."—TéléStar

Happy Canadian Pub Date to Here I Am! by Pauline Holdstock

Here I Am!
Sometimes I forget that MyMum is dead. But that is probably better than remembering.
When Frankie's mother dies, the six-year-old comes up with a plan: go to France, find a police station, and ask the officers to ring his father—and so begins Giller-nominated Pauline Holdstock's eighth novel. Narrated in turns by Frankie, who likes cheese, numbers, the sea when it's pink and "smooth like counting," and being alone when he feels bad, and a cast of characters that includes his Gran and his father, Here I Am! is a mesmerizing story about innocence lost and found.
I would describe it as a cozy weekend read. I curled up with it on a Saturday after I had just read a really long book, and I finished it on Sunday. It reminded me of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, or Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close—just like those books, it's narrated by a lovable kid who sees the world his own way, and doesn't let the fact that he's a kid keep him from going on a unique quest.
Though Here I Am! isn't based on a true story, author Pauline Holdstock was inspired by an actual case in the US where a kindergarten child had had to go home and spend the night with the dead body of her mother because her teacher didn't believe her when she said her mother had died.

Hat trick Tuesday! DREAM SEQUENCE by Adam Foulds and LATE BREAKING by KD Miller Nominated for 2019 Scotiabank Giller Prize!
September 3, 2019 /in Latest News /by biblioasis
On Tuesday, September 3, 2019, it was announced that Dream Sequence by Adam Foulds and Late Breaking by K.D. Miller have been longlisted for the 2019 Scotiabank Giller Prize.
Dream Sequence and Late Breaking are published by Biblioasis, an independent literary press based in Windsor, Ontario. Since 2004, Biblioasis has published contemporary fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and literature in translation. Another Biblioasis book, Ducks, Newburyport by Lucy Ellmann, was shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2019 just this morning.
In a statement, publisher Dan Wells said, "Well: it's been a busy morning indeed around the Bibliomanse. On the heels of Lucy Ellmann's Booker shortlisting for Ducks, Newburyport comes two Giller nominations here in Canada: for Adam Fould's Dream Sequence and K.D. Miller's Late Breaking. And if we were euphoric after Ducks, we're positively moon-walking now. We're so happy for all three authors. And it's certainly not a bad way to kick off our 15th Anniversary year."
Miller said, "This is such an affirmation. Always, in the back of a writer's mind are the questions, 'Will anyone want to read this? Will anyone enjoy and be moved by it?' Getting the news about being long-listed for the Giller Prize was like hearing an enormous 'Yes!' to all that. Thank you!"
Foulds said, "I am hugely honoured that Dream Sequence has been included on this longlist. It is a particular thrill as a new Canadian to receive this recognition from one of Canada's most storied cultural institutions."
ABOUT DREAM SEQUENCE
Henry Banks, star of the UK's most popular television series, has higher aspirations, ones befitting of his talent: a serious film career, beginning with a role in a brilliant Spanish director's next movie. To make the jump to the big screen, he'll have to remake himself in more than one way. But as he runs his morning miles and scrutinizes his changing physique in the mirror, he doesn't know that he's not alone in his obsession—Kristin, an unstable American fan, has her own lofty ambitions. From the author of Man-Booker shortlisted The Quickening Maze, Dream Sequence is a moving depiction of psychological damage and the unsettling consequences of fame.
Adam Foulds is a poet and novelist from London, England, now resident in Toronto. He has been the recipient of a number of literary awards, including the Sunday Times Young Writer Of The Year, the Costa Poetry Prize, the Somerset Maugham Award, the South Bank Show Prize for Literature, the E. M. Forster Award, the Encore Award, and the European Union Prize For Literature. His 2009 novel, The Quickening Maze, was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. He was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 2010. He was named as one of Granta Magazine's Best of Young British Novelists in 2013 and of the Poetry Book Society's Next Generation Poets in 2014.
ABOUT LATE BREAKING
K.D. Miller is the author of two previous short story collections, Give Me Your Answerand Litany on a Time of Plague, and an essay collection, Holy Writ. Her work has twice been collected in The Journey Prize Anthology and Best Canadian Stories, and she has been nominated for a National magazine Award for Fiction. She lives and writes in Toronto.
PRAISE FOR DREAM SEQUENCE
"Dream Sequence succeeds as a narrative thanks to Foulds's prose. He doesn't waste a single word, is frequently very funny, insightful and surprising. And he does a marvelous job of making us wonder who loves Henry the most, Kristin or Henry—and which of these possibilities is the most alarming consequence of celebrity."
"The quality of the prose carries the book beyond conventions, as Mr. Foulds is able to conjure, with the unsettling immediacy of a person breathing against your neck, both Henry's and Kristin's private fixations and fantasies."
"Adam Foulds is one of the best fiction writers working today. Dream Sequence possesses all the hallmarks of his previous books–emotional acuity, beautiful prose–and also a seductive plot and an ingenious structure. It's a great novel. I read it practically in one sitting."
—David Bezmozgis, author of the Giller-shortlisted The Free World
"Dream Sequence notices everything . . . Description is intimate and visceral, scratching at the glossy surface of the lives of the characters and underpinning the 'vacuum' they move through, together but apart . . . This is a novel of screens, of echoes and constant counterpoint, driven by changes in light as much as its reflective plot where matters of 'acting' are paramount … [a] shimmering novel."
—Times Literary Supplement (TLS)
"[An] entertainingly skewering new novel about ambition and obsession."
"An outstanding and unyielding exploration of celebrity, fame, and all its attendant obsessions…Foulds's novel is fun, smart, and tense, part psychological drama about media-driven obsession and part razor-sharp social critique."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"[Dream Sequence] is an exquisitely concocted, riveting account of artistic ambition and unrequited love verging on obsession . . . Foulds is proving himself to be a versatile writer of intelligence and charm."
"A deft, nuanced, and human collection of stories. K.D. Miller's gaze catches both humour and darkness in a wide variety of relationships. A thoroughly captivating book." —Rebecca Rosenblum

Lucy Ellmann's DUCKS, NEWBURYPORT Shortlisted for 2019 Booker Prize
#chancetheducks
On Tuesday, September 3, 2019, it was announced that Ducks, Newburyport by Lucy Ellmann has been shortlisted for the 2019 Booker Prize!
Booker Judge Joanna MacGregor said, "Lucy Ellmann's Ducks, Newburyport offers a radical literary form and voice. Dense to look at, challengingly epic, the novel is built around one Ohio housewife's monologue, flowing with dazzling lightness and speed. The detritus and maddening complexity of domesticity unfold in one breath, over a thousand pages. Shards of film plot and song collide with climate change anxiety; the terrors of parenting, healthcare and shopping lists wrestle with fake news and gun culture. The narrator reverberates with humour, wordplay and political rage. The writing resonates like a dissonant yet recognisable American symphony for massive forces, with riffs and themes folding back, proliferating, and gradually cohering. Its one long sentence occasionally breaks to simply describe a mountain lioness and her cubs: a meditation on nurture that will be wrapped into the violence of the ending. Lucy Ellmann has written a genre-defying novel, a torrent on modern life, as well as a hymn to loss and grief. Her creativity and sheer obduracy make demands on the reader. But Ellmann's daring is exhilarating ― as are the wit, humanity and survival of her unforgettable narrator."
In a statement, Ellmann said, "In my book I suggest you should never tell people you're happy, in case they wreck it for you. That's why I'm having trouble writing this statement about getting put on the Booker shortlist. The fact is I'm euphoric."
Biblioasis publisher and founder Dan Wells said, "We, too, are euphoric. Ducks, Newburyport is a brilliant book, one of the most important we've been a part of as publishers. It's a book for our times, full of rage and sorrow and wonder, a revolution in book form, and now, because of the Booker jury's endorsement, many more Canadian readers will discover it than might otherwise have been the case. It's very gratifying.
"A few months ago, we came across the nineteenth century phrase, "to chance the ducks": it means, essentially, to do something regardless of the risks or potential for disaster. Which pretty much describes what independent publishers around the world — with a special nod to our British counterparts, Galley Beggar Press, who first alerted us to Lucy's magisterial novel — do every day. It's gratifying that with Ducks in particular the risk looks to be rewarded. We're all very grateful. To chance the ducks, indeed."
Ducks, Newburyport will be published in the United States and Canada on September 10 by Windsor, Ont.-based press Biblioasis. Biblioasis titles have won the Writers' Trust of Canada's Rogers Fiction Prize, two Governor General's Literary Awards and Trillium Book Awards, as well as seen ten nominations for the Scotiabank Giller Prize. Referred to by the Globe and Mail as "the first truly great Canadian press of the 21st Century," Biblioasis celebrates its fifteenth year publishing fine books this October.
The news comes on the heels of an extraordinary burst of critical praise for the novel, with the Los Angeles Review of Books writing it "could possibly turn out to be the most important novel of the decade … Read Ducks, Newburyport. This is a novel for the idea of America today."
The Irish Times called it "Breathlessly brilliant … an extraordinary achievement of wit and imagination … this isn't just one of the outstanding books of 2019, it's one of the outstanding books of the century, so far."
Baking a multitude of tartes tatin for local restaurants, an Ohio housewife contemplates her four kids, husband, cats and chickens. Also, America's ignoble past, and her own regrets. She is surrounded by dead lakes, fake facts, Open Carry maniacs, and oodles of online advice about survivalism, veil toss duties, and how to be more like Jane Fonda. But what do you do when you keep stepping on your son's toy tractors, your life depends on stolen land and broken treaties, and nobody helps you when you get a flat tire on the interstate, not even the Abominable Snowman? When are you allowed to start swearing? With a torrent of consciousness and an intoxicating coziness, Ducks, Newburyport lays out a whole world for you to tramp around in, by turns frightening and funny. A heart-rending indictment of America's barbarity, and a lament for the way we are blundering into environmental disaster, this book is both heresy—and a revolution in the novel.
One of the premier literary awards in the English-speaking world, the Booker carries a prize purse of £50,000 and has recognized outstanding fiction since 1969. Chair of the 2019 judges, Peter Florence, said of the list's authors: "Imagine our world, familiar from news cycle disaster and grievance, with wild humour, deep insight and a keen humanity. These writers offer joy and hope."
Awarded annually to the best novel of the year written in English and published in the UK or Ireland; this year's panel is Afua Hirsch, Liz Calder, Xiaolu Guo and Joanna MacGregor, chaired by Peter Florence. Last year's winner was Milkman by Anna Burns. Previous winners include Margaret Atwood and Salman Rushdie.
Lucy Ellmann's first novel, Sweet Desserts, won the Guardian Fiction Prize. It was followed by Varying Degrees of Hopelessness, Man or Mango? A Lament, Dot in the Universe, Doctors & Nurses, and Mimi. Her short stories have appeared in magazines, newspapers and anthologies, and she has written for the New York Times, Washington Post, Guardian, Independent, Times Literary Supplement, Telegraph, New Statesman, Bookforum and The Baffler, among others. Though American by birth, she lives in Scotland.
PRAISE FOR DUCKS, NEWBURYPORT
"Breathlessly brilliant … an extraordinary achievement of wit and imagination … this isn't just one of the outstanding books of 2019, it's one of the outstanding books of the century, so far."—The Irish Times
"Ulysses has nothing on this … Once you get going, you'll be too absorbed to stop."—Cosmopolitan
"Could possibly turn out to be the most important novel of the decade … Read Ducks, Newburyport. This is a novel for the idea of America today."—Los Angeles Review of Books
"It's a book that quite restores our faith in the possibility of literary 'greatness' while questioning what forms such 'greatness' can or should take. It is certainly, in its humane range and weight, a Great American Novel. Is it any good? Oh my word, yes. Reading it at this point in times seems like an act of human solidarity, a commitment to the world of truth and reason."—Literary Review
"A wildly ambitious and righteously angry portrait of contemporary America."—The Observer
"[Readers] will recognise Ellmann's dauntless cataloguing of desires, her refusal to be anything but self-directed … It's a book about a mother's love, but also about loss and grief, and anxiety dreams about Donald Trump, and despair about mass shootings … It is also a catalogue of life's many injuries and mishaps … and of the simple joys and consolations of memory and imagination. [A] triumph."—The Guardian
"A remarkable portrait of a woman in contemporary America contemplating her own life and society's storm clouds … brilliant."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A jaw-dropping miracle."—Library Journal (starred review)
"Mesmerizing, witty, maximalist…a bravura and caring inquiry into Earth's glory, human creativity and catastrophic recklessness, and the transcendence of love."—Booklist (starred review)
"Resplendent in ambition, humour and humanity … dizzying … a lifetime of memories hoarded and pored over, like the family heirlooms the narrator and her husband have inherited along with all the joy and desolation contained within them … In Ducks, Newburyport Ellmann has created a wisecracking, melancholy Mrs Dalloway for the internet age."—Financial Times

Happy U.S. Publication Date, MOSTARGHIA!
U.S. Readers: The Wait Is Over!
Donald Winkler's English translation of Maya Ombasic's Mostarghia, a moving memoir of refugee experience and filial love, is available today in U.S. bookstores.
AN OPENCANADA SUMMER READ 2019
In the south of Bosnia and Herzegovina lies Mostar, a medieval town on the banks of the emerald Neretva, which flows from the "valley of sugared trees" through sunny hills to reach the Adriatic Sea. This idyllic locale is the scene of Maya Ombasic's childhood—until civil war breaks out in Yugoslavia and the bombs begin to fall. Her family is exiled to Switzerland, and after a brief return, they leave again for Canada. While Maya adapts to their new home, her father never does, refusing even to learn the language of his new country.
A portmanteau of Mostar and nostalgia, Mostarghia evokes Ombasic's yearning for a place that no longer exists: the city before the civil war, when its many ethnicities interacted in a spirit of civility and in harmony. It refers as well to Andrei Tarkovsky's classic film Nostalghia, the viewing of which illuminated the author's often explosive relationship with her father, a larger-than-life figure who was both influence and psychological burden: he inspired her interest, and eventual career, in philosophy, and she was his translator, his support, his obsession. Along with this portrait of a man described by turns as passionate, endearing, maddening, and suffocating, Ombasic deftly constructs a moving personal account of what it means to be a refugee and how a generation learns to thrive despite the struggles of its predecessors.
Praise for Mostarghia
"Fascinating and timely…anybody who wants to think deeply about what happens when people are forced to leave their homelands will want to pick this book up." —Book Riot
"Intimate, a filial cri de cœur…The book is run through with dark humour, and some of the most fatalistic scenes are also wryly funny…The condition of nostalgia is both dissociative and cleaving, and it is this tension that Ombasic most adeptly conveys." —Montreal Review of Books
"Strikes a great balance between the ebb and flow between unemotional observations that provide context for the lasting divides in the Balkans, and a humanization of the victims of conflict….[Ombasic writes] with a tender care that evokes a sadness mixed with levity, anger mixed with love." —The Walleye
"After her father dies, Ombasic seeks to resolve all that was unresolved between them in life. Her memoir ripples with the tension of these two great hearts each trying to shoulder an outsized burden… Subtly and with lyricism, Ombasic unpacks her father's role in her history alongside the role of their hometown, Mostar, not to mention the Balkans, religion, communism, war, displacement, and nostalgia." —Foreword Reviews (starred review)
"With great candor, Ombasic shares how her experience as a refugee differed from her father's…Through beautiful prose and impressive attention to detail, Ombasic paints a loving yet honest portrait of her father in all his complexity." —OpenCanada
"An overwhelming homage, clear-eyed and drenched in tenderness, Mostarghia is driven by Maya Ombasić's strong, sensitive voice, which allows us to glimpse the reverse side of the shadow of exile. Magnificent." –Le Devoir (Montreal)
"In an unadorned style, which contains emotion by restricting itself to facts, the author recounts her years during the war, then her exile in Switzerland, then Canada. The book's strength stems in large part from its ability to show the concrete daily consequences of a war from which the family suffers without participating in it directly, to showcase the absurdity of the issues–ethnic, religious, territorial–from which children and parents feel themselves estranged." –Le Monde (Paris)
"The book, its title inspired by Andrei Tarkovsky's film Nostalghia, is a daughter's love song to her father and the tale of her salvation, her refusal to be defeated by depression in order to move on." –l'Humanité (Paris)

Mike Barnes's BE WITH Shortlisted for the Toronto Book Award!
We're thrilled to announce that Mike Barnes's thoughtful, compassionate nonfiction book Be With has been shortlisted for the Toronto Book Award.
The jury wrote: "Caregiving for loved ones is a topic often left out of contemporary writing. In Be With, Mike Barnes lifts the curtain on his own experiences with dispatches to anonymous caregivers/loved ones living with the fallout of Alzheimers disease. This slim volume is filled with wisdom for the moments when caregivers may need it most—the long periods of uncertainty while waiting. While Be With may be directed to those who need it most, its in-depth look at human connection is relatable to anyone."
"It's wonderful that a book all of us care so much about here at the press has made this shortlist alongside such fine company," said Biblioasis publisher and founder Dan Wells. "Mike Barnes's Be With is a book about care, and is as generous and profound and beautiful a book as there is on the subject: We're thankful that the jurors saw the value in this slim wonder of a book."
Be With: Letters to a Caregiver is what its title promises: four dispatches to an anonymous long-term caregiver. In brief passages that cast fresh light on what it means to live with dementia, Barnes shares trials, insights, solace—and, ultimately, inspiration. Meant to be a companion in waiting rooms, on bus routes, or while a loved one naps, Be With is a dippable source of clarity for harried readers who might only have time for a few lines or paragraphs. Mike Barnes writes with sensitivity and grace about fellowship, responsibility, and joyful relatedness—what it means to simply be with the people that we love.
Established by Toronto City Council in 1974, the Toronto Book Awards honour authors of books of literary or artistic merit that are evocative of Toronto. The annual awards offer $15,000 in prize money: finalists receive $1,000 and the winning author is awarded $10,000. The Toronto Book Awards celebrates books that are evocative of Toronto.
The other shortlisted authors are Ian Williams (Reproduction), Cary Fagan (The Student), Dionne Brand (Theory), and Didier Leclair (This Country of Mine). The winner will be announced at a ceremony October 2 at the Bram and Bluma Appel Salon at 759 Yonge St.
PRAISE FOR BE WITH
"Timely, lyrical, tough, accurate."
—Annette Hamm, CHCH-TV
"My heart lodged in my throat and my eyes stayed glassy over the brief duration of Be With: Letters to a Caregiver. It's a lovely, loving, and unflinching work … He shares knowledge ("The truth is, there's no graceful way to take control of someone's life away from them") and he asks questions ("How much room in your own heart?") any caregiver must consider. He also asserts his primary insight: "But being with in person trumps all else. It's the one way of caring most likely to be right, and the least likely to be regretted. "
"Barnes shares a tender exaltation…with a clear and melodic tenor; there's poetry in his myriad introspections, and a willingness to put everything on the table, good, bad, and heart-wrenching. This is a powerful book for those who have experienced similar trials, regardless of length of time or severity."
"In their simplicity and even-handed tone, the letters achieve their author's difficult aim: they present as a literary Third Man, a friendly, authoritative voice in the dark that will lead its at-the-end-of-their-tether listeners through to the endgame…What really matters, he concludes, is the hardest thing, being there with her. 'For every thousand pages describing how living is shattered by this dread disease, there should be at least one page observing how living goes on within it.' Be With has 156 pages of them."
—Literary Review of Canada
"Powerful…the short, digestible letters are written with a realistic understanding of busy, exhausted caregivers' time and energy and stay true to the book's title, emphasizing the deceptively simple need to just "be with" – to witness, see, and accept. Poignant but never heavy-handed, it's a relevant and empathetic book that meets caregivers where they are."
"The particulars of Mary's dementia give this brief book universal appeal. The author effectively humanizes himself as a man who has made errors, who wishes he had done things differently, and who has his own psychological burdens to bear…A book that tells the reader that you are not alone, whoever you are."

A Biblioasis Interview with Maya Ombasic, author of MOSTARGHIA
August 9, 2019 /in Latest News /by biblioasis
Maya Ombasic's gorgeous, lyrical memoir Mostarghia arrived in Canadian bookstores this week! (Don't worry, U.S.—it will appear there in a week and a half.)
Maya sat down and answered some of our questions about the book Le Devoir called "An overwhelming homage, clear-eyed and drenched in tenderness, Mostarghia is driven by Maya Ombasić's strong, sensitive voice, which allows us to glimpse the reverse side of the shadow of exile. Magnificent."
For those who are coming to your work for the first time, can you tell us a little about yourself and your writing?
I was born in a country that no longer exists, in a place where living alongside people of different cultural identities was as natural as breathing. Everything that's come since (for almost three decades now) has been an attempt to understand why the country no longer exists and how I can make sense of the whole experience, first as a daughter and a sister, and then as a mother, a woman, and an artist. How to survive after a physical and metaphysical disaster? Because once you've been awakened from your cozy and happy childhood, had your roots torn away, and been forced onto a boat that will take you forever away from the reassuring valley you've called home, the universe is no longer a warm and benign place. Today there are several geographic locations in the world where I feel "good," but no place offers the unique metaphysical reassurance of "home." The war that ended my childhood also destroyed that for me.
I do not like the words integration, assimilation, success story, because I do not believe there's any such thing as successful exile. Why? Because the whole process inevitably leaves behind what the human being holds most sacred: the feeling of belonging to a place, a language, a culture, a territory from which the meaning of life emerges. To have those sacred bonds brutally torn away is to face, at the age of twelve, brutal nonsense. I learned very quickly that it was now up to me to give my life meaning, while also keeping in mind that not everyone can, or wants to, "custom-make" their own life's meaning. This is the experience I try to relate in this book through the emblematic figure of my father, who is not a "successful" immigrant. Of course—and inevitably—questions of memory, transmission, identity, and exile (or what they really mean, on a metaphysical level) have become my obsessive quest.
Your book takes its title from a portmanteau of Mostar, the city where your father and you both were born, and Nostalghia, the title of an Andrei Tarkovsky film. What about this film made it so important to the way you tell your father's story?
My father died at the age of 54. During his short life, but especially during the early years of our exile, I lived and grew up in the shadow of a tragically Slavic man. He could have a fit over anything. He could fall without warning into long moments of melancholy in which he recited by heart his favourite poet, the Russian Sergei Essessine; at the same time, he could be extremely funny, because he was a master of self mockery. I have often tried to understand him, without success—he was unpredictable and elusive.
Then one day, by chance, I came across the film Nostalghia. It was being screened in a small Parisian cinema that was doing a retrospective of Andrei Tarkovsky's whole filmography. As I watched that movie, I had the impression of meeting my father, not only in the main character, the poet Gorkachov, but also in the filmmaker's eye: his choice of shots, his landscapes and his colours, which all speak unanimously the language of nostalgia. The protagonist, in exile in Italy and on a quest to learn about a sixteenth-century Russian artist who lived in Italy, cannot overcome his melancholy and homesickness. He wants to return to Russia, but it seems impossible. Later, I read Tarkovsky's biography. He, too, lived in forced exile, far from his family and friends; nostalgia emerged as the main theme of his artistic quest.
When I discovered Tarkovsky's work, I understood my father better (not to mention that physically they looked as alike as two drops of water).
Early in the book, you equate learning a language with accepting a social contract. Can you elaborate on this idea?
From the moment we put aside our mother tongue in order to learn the languages that will help us integrate into our new society, we sign a new social contract. Not to learn its language is necessarily to be outside of a society. My father never wanted to go through this process; whether that was a positive choice or simply out of spite, I do not know. What is certain is that he willingly remained outside of Canadian society and the Canadian social contract, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse.
Let's start with the worst: I was his assigned translator, his indispensable crutch; he had no contact with the outside world that did not pass through me. As for the best: he had direct access to reality beyond language and the social contract. He had an amazing ability to understand situations, people, and the world beyond language. In other words, he had a direct experience of life. As he was a visual man, he pictured reality, especially in metaphorical images. This is an advantage in itself, because it allowed him to access emotion directly, without going through the intellect or the cogs and gears of language. But his linguistic handicap was above all a burden for me.
Talk a little bit about the part Cuba plays in your book.
Coming from a socialist country on the old continent, I belong to a whole generation for whom Cuba represented an admirable satellite led by idealistic warriors demanding a more just world. And when you're young, you need ideals. As a teenager, I was desperately in love with Che Guevara because he represented my masculine ideal: a handsome, long-haired, dark and gloomy figure, but also a poet, a doctor, and a revolutionary. Then there's my father's love for Cuba, this utopian island where the promise of communism had not yet failed as it had elsewhere on the planet.
In the book there is a whole chapter on Cuba where I try to explain the disenchantment that comes when those ideals meet reality. In that chapter, when my father realizes that all in Cuba is not really as he imagined it, it's like a nail in the wound his exile has already created. He has to come to terms with the realization that his lost paradise will never be found. From that moment, he sinks into a melancholy that will continue until the end of his life.
I have to add that, consciously or unconsciously, I married a gloomy long-haired Cuban who looks like Che Guevara, so my daughter is also half Cuba. Fantasy imitates reality and vice versa . . .
How do your experiences as a philosophy teacher and as a documentary filmmaker affect your approach to writing?
I'm often asked how I manage to do all of this at once, but for me, all these practices come from the same starting point. In other words, it is the same vibration, the same source, the same inspiration that unfolds in different forms. As much as the teaching of philosophy nourishes me on a daily basis, not only because I am obliged to update my knowledge, but also to share it with my students who in turn bring me a lot, the documentaries or the images on the screen offer another visual language that influences my writing. I believe in the power of images, whether visual, cinematographic, literary, or philosophical. For example, the image of the Sun of Knowledge in Plato remains vivid for me. When we come to knowledge—true knowledge—we come out of the darkness to feel enlightened . . .
What are you reading right now?
I just finished Amin Maalouf's Naufrage des civilisations (Shipwreck of Civilizations). He is an author that I admire a lot, and his latest book puts into words what I have been feeling for some time: that we're living through the decline of civilization and the return of barbarism. Depressing book, but necessary for all those who are trying to understand our time.

Kathy Page's beloved The Story of My Face re-released August 6
July 31, 2019 /in Latest News /by biblioasis
In less than a week, Kathy Page's marvel of a novel, The Story of My Face—first published by Orion/Phoenix House in 2003—finally comes back into print under the Biblioasis banner.
Natalie Baron, a neglected teenager, is drawn into the life of Barbara, an older woman who invites her along on her family's religious retreat. She soon discovers that their curious habits and beliefs result from their membership in a Protestant sect: Finnish Envallism. Though some members of the community reject Natalie as an outsider, the mutually fulfilling relationship between the two women leads Barbara to reveal a dangerous secret that sets into motion a devastating series of events. Years later, the adult Natalie, now a respected academic, travels to Finland to research the origins of Envallism and tries to understand the things that happened to her in her youth.
Critics loved The Story of My Face.
"Quietly powerful, with considerable emotional depth: an intriguing account of tortured faith and thwarted desire."
"One of the most compelling, unsettling novels I've read in ages, which should appeal to fans of classy thrillers and literary fiction alike."
"[Page's] writing, mostly in the present tense, is lit with an immediate sense of period, summoning images which are by turns softly painterly, sharply filmic or as murky as those first television images of the moon landing."
—Aisling Foster, TLS
"Incredibly evocative and haunting . . . it keeps you reading, wanting to uncover both Natalie's past and that of Tuomas Envall."
—Clare Heal, Sunday Express
"An elegantly compelling story of how a young girl's obsession forever changes the lives of those around her.. a disciplined exploration of the complexity of human motivation and our need for redemption."
—Lynne Van Luven , Vancouver Sun
"A most impressive achievement."
—Jessica Mann, Daily Telegraph
"A compelling and unpredictable journey . . . beautifully written, rolls on at a rapid pace and delivers a satisfying punch at the end."
–Christine Pountney, Toronto Star
"A moving, absorbing story . . . Kathy Page writes beautifully."
—Helen Dunmore, author of A Spell of Winter
Kathy Page took a few minutes to talk to Biblioasis about The Story of My Face.
I've written eight novels and three collections of short fiction. I'd say I'm versatile writer, and perhaps unusually so. So each of my books is very different to the others, but common elements often mentioned in the reviews are vivid, complex characters and relationships, suspenseful plots, and fluent prose.
I was born in England and spent much of my early life there. Like most writers I've done various day jobs and held numerous writer's residencies, including one for a year in a Category B men's prison in the UK, about which I wrote in my novel Alphabet. I moved to Canada with my family in 2001; I now live on Salt Spring Island and teach part-time at Vancouver Island University.
This is a novel about a girl's relationship with a chosen surrogate mother-figure. What made you want to explore chosen family in this novel?
I think children in difficult or dysfunctional family situations like Natalie's often seek out intense "surrogate" relationships with adults who are not their biological parents. I certainly did, and that has very likely informed the story, though I should say that the teenaged Natalie is nothing like me, and was inspired by a girl from a small village who tried to "adopt" me when I was hiking and camping in France . . . Natalie is a deprived and very damaged child; writing The Story of My Face, I was fascinated by the power and intensity of Natalie's need for mothering, and drawn to explore where it led and how far she would go. A long way, it turned out, and she does not always play fair; people get hurt and she almost dies . . . But in the end, this is an optimistic story: she does survive, change, progress.
Exploring relationships is what drives me to write. I'm especially interested in the unconventional, messy, and less than textbook-perfect kind: they make for better stories.
Why Envallism? What prompted you to invent this sect? What real-world religious traditions is it based upon, and how does it differ from them? What is it about these extreme forms of Protestantism that prompted you to the extended engagement a novel represents?
It interests me that many faiths choose to regulate or prohibit aspects of human life, vitality and culture, and I wanted to explore the possible reasons for this. Sex (with whom, what kind) is often highly regulated, food and art likewise. Protestants have accused Catholics of idolatry and at various points they have forbidden dancing, music, and theatre. Islamic art avoids the figurative. Perhaps because I am very interested in visual art, I became fascinated by the idea of a sect that banned all life-like representation. I started to explore this imaginatively after a visit to Finland as a Writer in Residence during which I learned of "the Awakenings," a religious revival movement which flourished there in the nineteenth century. The movement persists today and is averse to dancing, music, colourful clothing, etc., but relatively liberal regarding sexuality, ordination of women etc. As I said, I love visual art, both representational and abstract, but I found I was able to sympathize with the Envallist point of view in that I saw through their eyes how we live in an image-saturated culture, and became increasingly aware of how that can affect our relationship and connection with the actual world.
This novel uses a distinctive point of view: a first-person voice that nevertheless has access to other characters' inner lives and motivations. Tell us a little about how this voice came about and what it was like to write from such a perspective.
I'm glad you picked up on this. Regular first-person is intimate, but also very restrictive; I managed to open it up into a kind of "first-person omniscient" and so get the best of both worlds. Natalie, in middle age, is looking back and telling the story of her younger self's involvement with the Envallist family in 1969, and also the story of Tuomas Envall as she uncovers it in her research. She allows herself to present what she intuits of other people's inner lives and actions as part of her story (rather than speculation). This seems appropriate because a very driven curiosity—a desire to know about other people and what makes them tick—is a defining characteristic of Natalie right from the start. The point of view has a slightly spooky, menacing effect, and that works well for a story that definitely has some Gothic qualities. It took me several drafts to find this way to tell the story, and I felt very liberated once I discovered it.
Why is The Story of My Face ripe for re-release in 2019? How will it strike audiences differently now than it did upon its first publication eighteen years ago?
I completed the The Story of My Face while my first baby napped, and it was the first of my novels to be published in Canada. It came out in 2002, shortly after we moved to BC, and was long-listed for what was then called the Orange Prize. Since then my children have grown up and my work has been nominated for the Scotiabank Giller Prize, the Governor General's Award for Fiction, The ReLit Award, and the Ethel Wilson Prize; my most recent novel, Dear Evelyn, won the Writer's Trust Award for Fiction in 2018. I think the two novels—which both feature the kind of interesting, complicated relationships I spoke of earlier, but are otherwise quite different—make great book-ends for the body of work between them, all of which is now available.
As for how differently it will be perceived— the sheer volume of images that we deal with, many of them highly manipulative, has increased exponentially, and some readers may well have more sympathy with the Envallists than they would have earlier! And of course, it's certainly true to say that religious fundamentalism impinges much more on our lives now than it did at the time of writing. The thing about The Story of My Face is that it does not portray any particular existing group but uses a fictional sect to explore the notion of religious prohibitions in general and ask what makes some of us need to restrict our lives (and those of others) in this way, and what is the cost of doing so? I think if anything it will be easier to connect with and even more relevant than before.

Fine motor deficits and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in primary school children

Background: Many children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) display motor deficiencies during their daily routine, which may have impact on their developmental course. Children with ADHD who experience motor deficiencies often display deficits in tasks requiring movements, such as handwriting.
Aim: This study investigated deficiencies in fine motor skills in primary school children with ADHD. The study further sought to establish whether ADHD subtypes differ in deficiencies of fine motor performance, recorded for both the dominant and non-dominant hands.
Methods: The Disruptive Behavior Disorders Rating Scale, completed by educators and parents, was used to screen for ADHD symptoms. Researchers confirmed the diagnosis of ADHD. Motor functioning was assessed using the Grooved Pegboard and Maze Coordination. The children diagnosed with ADHD were matched for age and gender with controls without ADHD. The sample consisted of an ADHD group (160) and control group (160) of primary school children from the Moletjie area.
Results: Children with ADHD (predominantly inattentive subtype) and ADHD (combined subtype) performed significantly more poorly than the control group on the Grooved Pegboard (p < 0.05) with both the dominant and non-dominant hand. No significant difference between the hyperactivity and impulsiveness subtype and the controls were found. There was no difference on the Maze Coordination Task (p > 0.05) between the ADHD subtypes and the controls.
Conclusion: Difficulties in fine motor skills are prevalent in children with ADHD, particularly in the ADHD-PI and ADHD-C. Problems are encountered in distal, complex, speeded tasks. The effect may lead to poor handwriting and academic performance.

Abstract : Current research in biology heavily depends on the availability and efficient use of information. In order to build new knowledge, various sources of biological data must often be combined. Semantic Web technologies, which provide a common framework allowing data to be shared and reused between applications, can be applied to the management of disseminated biological data. However, due to some specificities of biological data, applying these technologies to life science is a real challenge. This chapter shows that current Semantic Web technologies start to become mature and can be used to develop large applications. However, in order to get the best from these technologies, improvements are needed both at the level of tool performance and knowledge modeling.


Despite endless rumors that Meghan Markle is getting closer to becoming a princess, an engagement hasn't happened just yet. It seems as though everyone wants to know if the Suits actress and her guy — Prince Harry — have talked about taking that next step in their relationship. While many assume that this is the real deal for Harry — who used to be a bit of a serial dater — the couple has chosen to keep details of their romance away from the media — And for good reason. The media tends to be relentless.
Of course, that only means that various news outlets are going to be inclined to make up their own stories. With a relationship so red hot, the curiosity of the world is at an all-time high. A recent story published by the Daily Mail insists that Markle was asked about her relationship with Harry by a fan at the recent ATX Television Festival. While the publication would like you to believe that Markle remained coy and just gave the fan a smile without elaborating, the whole story was actually fabricated, according to Gossip Cop.
The gossip-debunking site has confirmed that Markle was never even asked about getting engaged to Prince Harry at the event. The site claims that there's a video online of the whole event and it's clear to see that Markle didn't get that particular question.
Interestingly enough, Gossip Cop says that a Daily Mail reporter caught up with Markle at the airport in Texas and asked her about her romance with Prince Harry. The site reports that Markle didn't respond to the question, completely ignoring the reporter and going on her merry way.
Meanwhile, in the world of "real news," things seem to be going swimmingly for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The two attended Pippa Middleton's wedding reception together last month and have been making time to see each other when their respective schedules allow.
Do you think that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will end up getting engaged?


Another museum we visited in Washington, D.C., was the National Museum of the American Indian. I grew up in an area strongly populated by Indians. I think the history of these people native to America is fascinating – both interesting and horrifying. I have wanted to visit this museum since it was established. It was not open when I got to first visit DC so it was high on my "must do" list this time around.
The museum did not disappoint. It is densely packed with exhibits and information that helps each of us understand more about these peoples and their history. From artifacts to badly done movies and advertisements, this museum covers it all.
One area that we found fascinating was the artifact exhibit that showcased hundred of items. Each item is number and listed. There are electronic screens close by that you can touch to find out more about the items that interest you. Each item seemed to have information on where the item came from, the Indian group that it is associated with, how old it is suspected to be, and what it was used for. There were many items that were similar but from different Indian groups and those were interesting to look at and compare. We spent a fair amount of time in this area.
Another interesting area showcased articled that had been intricately beaded. One of the most fascinating was an American flag that had Indian group named embedded in the beads of the strips of the flags and the initial of each state on the stars. It is stunning!
We made sure to visit the floor that covered many of the different Indian Nations and their history. It was presented well and we went from group to group, seeing the difference in what they ate, how they dressed, the different ceremonies they had, and other things that made each nation unique. It was extremely well done.
There was a small area that had seating close to some video screens. Those screens were showing animated tales and legends from the Indian nations. It was interesting to listen to the legends and stories, to see them animated. Miss J was particularly interested in these tales.
The last part we had time to visit was the advertising and other promotional items area. This was a huge room that had every advertising thing that had ever been done with any relation to an Indian or native peoples group. From Barbie dolls, which the girls found interesting, to Big Chief Tablets, from motels in teepee shapes to drinks named after Indians, it was really a unique look at how our nation saw/sees these Americans.
One the main floor there are several examples of canoes and other water craft. These life sized craft were interesting and really help see how the area of the country the people lived in influenced their construction. This was also true just outside the exit, where we were able to see some crops planted and some outdoor ovens.
From the walkway up to the entrance through the exit and onto the sidewalk going away from the museum, this was a fascinating place to visit. I enjoyed it very much and truly wish I could remember many of the things we read in that building. It was stunningly created and displayed and a stop I would highly recommend.
By the Way is a fun and fact-filled series of books written by author Joy Budensiek. We have been enjoying one of the four newest books in the By the Way Book Series as we think about planning a trip before too long. Indiana ~ By The Way is the book we have been enjoying. The other new ones include New York City, Alaska, and Ireland. There are currently 10 books in this series.
Joy Budensiek began writing these books to help families have an interesting and fun way to discuss spiritual truths in everyday life. After hearing the startling fact that most Christian families do not intentionally discuss God's hand in every day life, she created this series to lend a hand and lead the way for families. These geographically based books help parents teach a Christian worldview through a bright and exciting children's book.
Each of the books in the series is a hard-back book that is printed in full color. It contains pictures of the actual places and animals discussed, as well as drawings and other images to illustrate other ideas or things. The reading level is upper elementary and the book is about 50 page long. Each page is packed and we would read about 6 or 8 pages in a sitting. This allowed us to discuss ideas and talk about things that interested us. More than once, while I was reading aloud to Miss J (age 9), one or both of the older girls would come look at what we were reading about. Often, we ended up at the computer, looking at the places on a map or reading more about the place mentioned.
By the Way tells the stories of two children who explore the world around them, wherever they end up. Alex and Lexi find themselves immersed in the beauty of God's creation and seeing God's hand in the world around them. In the book about Indiana, they are visiting family at Thanksgiving. Their family explores the state and finds a lot of interesting places to visit, things to learn, and animals to see.
There are quite a few covered bridges in Indiana. And, we hope to see some when we end up visiting that state.
There is a lot of wildlife, including Monarch butterflies (Miss L's favorite), cardinals (Miss J's favorite), bats (reminding Miss E of a visit to a cave a year or so ago), deer, lots of other birds (more of Miss J's favorites), bears, rabbits, and many, many more.
There are sand dunes! We know sand dunes from White Sands so it was interesting to learn more.
This state borders Lake Michigan and is MUCH smaller than Texas.
There are large Amish communities in the state. This was really appealing to Miss E and Miss J since it relates so well to another book series they are reading about a young Amish girl.
These are just the tip of the iceberg with what you will learn about Indiana in this book. It is so easy to extend this type of learning. Marking a map, adding additional animal research or sketching, creating artwork related to themes and ideas, looking up more on the plants mentioned (orchids!) and trying to grow them – the possibilities are as varied as your own imagination.
As wonderful as all of this learning about Indiana is, there is something much better woven throughout the story and the pages of this book – God's hand in nature and life. Intentionally looking for ways to help the reader see God's hand, Bible verses are woven into the story and into the lives of the characters. One of these places is when talking about the beauty of the changing leaves in fall and Psalm 90:2 is quoted. Another example is when they are talking about caves and bats. I John 1:5 is brought up. In the discussion about Thanksgiving and its history, James 1:17 is quoted to remind us that God gives so many good gifts.
In addition to this, the discussion between the adults and the children in the story models well how to intentionally bring up God's plan, His hand, and His wonderful creation in every day discussions. Finding life lessons from God is modeled well in this series of books. In Indiana, we see this when having a thankful heart is taught. We see it when they are teaching about the Amish and they mention "Family and faith are most important to them. Anything which threatens these is rejected." (p. 35) Billy Sunday is discussed and the adults teach the children about the worth of salvation in contrast to the salary he gave up. They also model this idea with nature – the animals are so perfectly created that the butterflies know exactly when to migrate, the bats know how to hunt, the farms are blessed by the rain and sunshine, and the variety of trees that exist.
This modeling is wonderful and reminds us of the important things in life. The By the Way series is fantastic at not only teaching about interesting places but in teaching about God's perfect creation and our lives in it. Indiana is another fun book in this series. Want to know about more? We reviewed Colorado previously on the blog and have read the Washington book, also.

We were asked which books we might be interested in and these were our top three choices. Why? Because each of these countries were affected by World War II and Miss J has been studying WWII. This gave us yet another literature correlation to our study and I knew for a fact that they were quality literature. In addition to have an easy-to-read text, the If You Were Me series are written from the viewpoints of children and are written in a way that children can relate to them well. As you open each book, there is a map (not drawn to scale but still helpful) of the country, followed by a page with a globe that shows where the country is located. The books are well-researched and a pronunciation guide with definitions are provided with each one to help the readers understand a bit more about the culture. The illustrations are engaging and colorful, enhancing the enchanting text, bringing it all together.
The book about Russia covers a lot of family words, like mother and father. As you read along, words are incorporated naturally. In talking about going to the store, the book mentions the word for a fur hat and that you would use rubles to purchase it. Major landmarks are included such as St. Basil's Cathedral, Red Square, and the Kremlin. Food is not left out and descriptions of borscht, piroshky, caviar, samovar, and more are included. Favorite pasttimes for children are mentioned and include chess, playing with kuklas (dolls), and ice hockey. The new year is a big holiday and much of the details of it are included, from the gift bringer Ded Moroz to the New Year tree, favorite foods and the fortune teller tradition.
This was a simple look at a complex society so it is definitely not comprehensive. Yet, it is a good way for children to get a look at another culture and some of the ways in which children from there are like them and different from themselves. The text itself is not difficult but because there are a number of Russian words with pronunciations included, I would not recommend a child try to read this book alone. Guidance would be greatly beneficial for children under the age of about 10.
The book on Germany actually begins with a bit of history about the country itself, where it and its name originated from. There is also information about the city of Berlin and its importance. Boy and girl names are shared, as well as other family names including mother and father, grandmother and grandfather, and aunt and uncle. The beautiful castle Neuschwanstein is pictured (an actual picture, not a drawing – I like that it shows it accurately this way) and the history is shared. Euros and marks are talked about and why the change was made. Food, of course, is covered including hunger-inducing dishes such as sauerbraten, sauerkraut, dumplings, and apfelstrudel. (This made Miss J ask her daddy to make her some apple strudel and it was yummy!) Activities such as fussball (soccer) and going to Oktoberfest are part of their lives. It closes out with a bit more history and several interesting facts about Germany.
I like that this story contains so many bits of the history of the country, as well as the information on the actual culture that we would expect. Between the history, the food, and all the words, I feel like this is a good book to help someone know a bit more about Germany. The story is engaging and easy to read, though the pronunciations of the foreign words will make it a bit more difficult for a child.
Poland was one that I chose solely due to the involvement of the country in World War II. It is often mentioned so I felt it would be a good one for Miss J to know a bit more aobut. This book definitely did its part for that, without getting so much information that she didn't understand any of it. One of the fun bits about this book on Poland is that backgrounds of almost all of the pages are actual photographs that have drawings on top of them. This allows the beauty of the country to be seen clearly.
The book, like the Germany book, give a lot of history about the country. From the various names for Poland itself to a legend about how the city of Warsaw got its name, the text is engaging. Because much of Poland's interest includes famous people, the book includes people such as the composer Chopin and the astronomer Copernicus. Sports are important to these people and so football (pilka nozna), skiing, and sledding are featured, as well as ice hockey. Food is shared through a trip to the grocery store and dinner at the grandparents. From mleko and hleb (milk and bread) to rosol broth, makaron, sledz and pierogi, hunger creeps up reading about the food. Bird watching and a game called "spot the gnome" are fun activities for all ages in Poland.
While each book contains many of the same types of information, each one seems so very different. That is partly because of the different culture of each book but I also feel that Carole P. Roman does a great job of writing the differently, with a slightly different focus that helps you get a feel for things that are important to that culture. For example, Germany seems to have a big focus on history while Poland's focus in on activity and outdoor sports. This keeps each book in the series fresh and new and exciting, even when you are reading several of them back-to-back.
This is a wonderful series for children to learn more about other cultures around the world and is a great supplement to any country or continent study that you may be doing. As I mentioned, we pulled a bunch that we already had on the shelf for our WWII study and then added these when they arrived at th house. A couple of years ago when we were doing a continent study, I put the various If You Were Me books that went with the continent in the basket along with the other items to help us get a feel for what the continent was like. These are so very flexible and packed with such good information that I highly recommend them.
And one of the best parts – they get read and enjoyed! When these three books arrived at the house, they disappeared into one bedroom and the another and were read by two of the three girls within two hours of receiving them. The other young lady had read them in a couple of days. The appeal of these books is strong and since the content is quality, I don't mind giving them free rein to read them.

Today, we were talking about Norway in our Let's Go Geography lesson. (Read our review of Let's Go Geography.) We are still really liking these easy but informative geography/history lessons. The embedded links to interesting videos coupled with map work, some history, national anthems, and some animals keep Miss J interested. The map work is just enough to challenge and it includes enough review to help retain the information.
A large part of Norway's background is Viking and they are pretty proud of it. The activity today was to create a Viking ship on the ocean. Miss J had lots of fun with it and it was simple to do. These types of conclusion activities are right up her alley and seem to tie it all together for her.
Let's Go Geography is one we are definitely keeping in our rotation of lessons.

We recently studied India as our family's country of choice for the International Feast Night we had with some other homeschool families. We had a blast and learned so much about India. We kicked it off by reading The Hidden Village by Bonnie Rose Hudson. Read my review to learn more about that book.
After learning about Manju and the world he lived in, we watched some videos. These videos taught us a lot about West Bengal, the part of India that the book was set in. We learned about Bengal Tigers, jute harvesting, the uses of jute, mangroves, markets in West Bengal, foods, mongoose, and more. There are a lot of things to learn about.
We also learned that West Bengal is just one of the part of India, which is extremely diverse. To learn about other parts of India, we used several resources from SchoolhouseTeachers.com. This is a site that we use often through the year and it provided us lots of good information on India. From the video titled India Unveiled in a series titled Trek to the Holy Land to a history study titled A Splash of Geography with a section on India, we had access to lots of good information and images. We looked at, but did not use, lapbooking sets on the rhino and the Bengal Tiger, both available at SchoolhouseTeachers.com. By far, the best resource on this site was Asia: Trade Route Safari (also by Bonnie Rose Hudson, who wrote The Hidden Village that we kicked the study off with). We learned a ton from the India sections of this study.
We used an art project that is available as a lesson from ArtAchieve. In level 1, there is a study of wood block printing in India. This is how they print fabric for the saris. Miss J created this print using the techniques of this art lesson and some videos from their cross-curricular materials.
Miss L studied the sari and decided to duplicate it with material on two of our 18 inch dolls. They were adorable.
We also used a set of notebooking pages from Hip Homeschool Moms titled Around The World Notebook Pages. These were neatly put together. The girls were able to research information for them easily and it was easy to for them to complete the pages.
The recipes came from these two food blogs from India – Chef de Home and Fun FOOD and Frolic. There are tons more recipes on these two blogs and I would definitely like to try a few more.
At the feast, the girls set up a display table with their information and projects. Each family also took a few minutes to talk about what they learned, giving each child a few moments. (Great public speaking practice!) The students also had to introduce their menu and describe each of the foods so that everyone could know what they were eating. This was a fun night.
Hopefully, this will give you some resources for your own study of India. This is a very large, diverse country and we have barely touched on it. Perhaps we will cover some more during the springtime when we need a diversion one day. So much more to learn!

Interview - Charles Leclerc
Charles Leclerc, Bahrain GP 2022
"Fighting for the title made me stronger!"
By Luis Vasconcelos
Finishing second in this year's Formula One World Championship may have been Charles Leclerc's best career result, but it's clear the Monegasque was hoping for much more after winning two of the first three Grand Prix of the season and putting 46 points between himself and Max Verstappen.
But from the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix onwards, with the exception of the Austrian Grand Prix, his and Ferrari's season became a catalogue of technical failures, strategic blunders and driver's mistakes that left the Dutchman alone at the front of the championship, while the atmosphere inside the Scuderia turned sour, especially after Leclerc was left out to dry while leading the British Grand Prix.
No wonder, then, the young Monegasque is looking more ahead to 2023 than to what happened in the last 12 months.
Still, he insists he fought until the end and never gave up even in finishing second in championship: "There's hasn't been a moment in which I said, 'fuck it, I don't care about 2022 anymore'. I remained focused right until the end of the season, not only to try and get the best possible results but also to learn more and to be better as a team. It was important to everyone, for the whole team, to finish with good results, so I'm happy we achieved the goal we could still have for the end of the season but, of course, finishing second is not what I'm racing for."
Leclerc always insisted any disappointments were quickly left behind and he would start the next race from zero, explaining that, "every year there are always ups and downs, but we probably had more this year than in other years, especially the middle part of the season and that was very, very difficult. But mentally I've always managed to re-zero before every race and to come to those races with a normal mindset having forgotten what happened in the previous races."
The Ferrari driver explained that, "we always go through the same process. Whenever there's a mistake or something going wrong, you always try to analyse where that's coming from and then, once you understand where that's coming from, then you are trying to look forward. So, this is what we've done this year and that will continuefor the future."
In his mind, though, it's clear there are two key areas where Ferrari has to improve for 2023 in order to be able to fight for the title: "I think communication and strategy need to improve, but we saw in Abu Dhabi we can get things spot on, as that was the only way to beat Pérez in the race and in the championship.. Then there's the tyre management, as we've seen in the last races, where this is a bit more difficult."
"We need to identify all the causes of it. But this is continuous work that we are doing and that we are getting better at and I think we've seen it this year, in some races this year we've been very good with tyre management. The only thing we need is to be good in very specific situations, like in Japan, the Sunday was a little bit cooler, obviously it was also raining, and then when it's a bit of an unexpected situation, that's where we are probably not as good as Red Bull is, so we need to work on that."
Having endured a tough season, Leclerc is certain he has become a much stronger driver this year: "Yes, a lot. I think you always learn year after year and I did learn a lot. Again, in terms of communication and strategy, especially in this last part of the season. I think there's been a good step forward but we need to keep pushing."
And he's also happy with the way he drove, even though he still looks back at his spin in Imola and his crash in the Paul Ricard as personal mistakes he doesn't want to see repeated: "I'm happy with the way I drove but I've always been very vocal about my mistakes. There were two this year that were costly and where I lost points."
"On the other hand, I'm happy with my season. I think it's been a really good season and last year especially for the second part of the season I had struggled a lot, so I changed a few things this year that made it better."
But even when looking back at his season, Leclerc doesn't forget to pay tribute to the new World Champion: "Hats off to Max and Red Bull. They made the difference, especially on the Sunday. On the Saturdays I felt like we always had the pace to fight for pole apart from a couple of occasions. But on the Sundays they were doing a better job."
"And Max had an excellent season and he obviously deserves the World Championship, as Red Bull does. As for us, for next year, we'll try to improve especially the Sundays because we seem to be not as consistent as we would like to be."
