Being selfish is considered as a sin, not only by religious institutions but also by the contemporary Zeitgeist. It is expected to show at least a kind of team spirit or even to sacrify oneself for others and if you do that to a large extent you are considered as holy. What is not known is that one can help "others" only by expanding the own consciousness which asks for "Selfishness", that is concentration on one's own focus. If one is not practising self-awareness the blind will continue to lead the blind.
We're wanting you to want so much for your own personal joy, that you can be as selfish as your cat. Your cat, who may focus upon you in the moment, or may not, but we promise you, your cat will do whatever is best for it. And where humans got the idea that their own individual, personal suffering was an any way good for anybody else, defies all Laws of all Universes that we have ever encountered. Feeling good is good, and is your indication of your full Connection with who You are. So, we're wanting to help you to remember, to reorient you, to, almost to shock you into, the awareness that every Consciousness, which includes your full human form, and even the cells in your body–every Consciousness is, and must continue to be, selfishly oriented. Because, unless you are reaching for what is individually best for self, you cannot stay connected to Source. And the Whole, that is Well-Being based, cannot continue to be.
Your freedom will truly come to you when you learn to exercise the power of your own focus. And we have never met anyone who could exercise the power of their own focus, who didn't first decide, "I really, really, really want to feel good. Nothing is more important than that I feel good. Everything other than that is irrelevant. I am going to focus upon that which feels good." As you begin to let feeling good be your dominant quest, everything in your environment begins to take shape to that–because your environment is coming in response to your thoughts.


But pollution is a way of life here!
The heat wave has failed to relent. So is the scarcity of water. Owing to the declining water table and power cuts, residents are feeling the heat and crying for water. Activists of the BSNL Employees Union (BSNLEU) called upon the government to initiate wage negotiations with a tenure of five years without any delay, bridge the gap between pay and other benefits of workers and officers, formulate policies for grant of annual increment as percentage of wages, wage revision for sick PSUs and their revival.
In response to a call given by the Central Public Undertaking Trade Union, employees of the BSNL held a day-long dharna to press their long-pending demands.

Campbell Addy on Shooting Kendall Jenner and Megan Thee Stallion Before the Pandemic
The photographer opens up about the covers he photographed before the coronavirus hit, and what Kendall Jenner was like on set.
by Michael Beckert
Photograph by Campbell Addy for Luncheon Magazine.
Welcome to our new series Ways of Seeing, in which two artists sit down to discuss the nuances of their work, trade industry secrets, and catch up on their latest projects. The only catch? One of them is on staff at W magazine.
Back in January, when 2020 hadn't quite revealed itself to be the difficult reality in which we're currently living, photographer Campbell Addy was on an inspiring roll: he'd shot covers for Garage Magazine, Rolling Stone, and released a poignant personal project speaking to society's exhaustion of blackness for Luncheon Magazine. Having worked with Campbell in the past, I knew early he possessed a special talent and work ethic that would push him toward greatness in the industry. Lucky for me, the quarantine has brought Campbell's non-stop schedule to a brief pause, and we were able to catch up over the phone last week while remaining at home in our respective cities. Read our conversation on what Kendall Jenner was like on set, Addy's most challenging project to date, and how he stays positive during stressful times, below.
I saw that self-portrait you took in quarantine. How's making work at home been?
It depends on what type of place I'm in. I think research always makes me feel better. But creating work, I'm not sure. Sometimes it just makes things worse because I feel like I'm forcing something I shouldn't have to do. But always learning and researching, that's not forcing anything, so I'll always be about that.
I did that self-portrait a while ago. I was in a bad place, but I felt better, so I thought, "Why not?"
When you do research, what does that look like? Do you have a folder on your hard drive with lots of pictures in it?
I do now. I never used to, I was a hot mess. Before, I just had folders and folders, and screenshots. I've literally unpacked my whole studio because I just moved in, but I have a section for books and drawings, because I draw sometimes just for the sake of making things. On my desktop I have ideas [for mood boards], and for my research, sometimes I have tabs on YouTube. But mainly it all exists in a scrapbook or on my computer. I have a separate Instagram that no one sees that I just put stuff on to remind myself of it. Besides that, I prefer physical books, because sometimes being on my phone, I get distracted very easily. We didn't have many books growing up, but we did read and stuff, because the library was our best friend. I used to equate wealth to having a library—I remember going 'round to someone's house at 13, and I was like "Oh my god, They have a library. They must be super rich." What are some of your favorite photo books?
I love Jack Davison's Pictures (2019), and Luis Alberto Rodriguez's new book, People of the Mud.
I met Luis years ago, at Tim Walker's office, strangely. I went to see Tim, and I was texting him, like, "I need some advice about signing and also my portfolio. Please, I know we don't know each other that well yet, but help a brother out." He was like, "Yeah sure, come over." I thought he was going to say no. Luis was there, and I was like, "Oh hey, handsome, what's good?" His work is great.
Is there a photographer you continuously go back to when you're looking for inspiration?
I force myself to not look at other photographers, only because I have this thing: you know when you're looking out the window and you can see someone? I've always said to myself, if I can see them, they can see me. So I always say, if I can research this photographer, so can everyone else, which means I'm not necessarily looking for anything new. When I look at photographers, I check out their interviews, instead of their work. It's more like their essence as opposed to a composition.
I would love to emulate Richard Avedon's energy, or Alex Webb's use of film and color. But I don't know if it's one person. It depends on the idea. If it's in the studio and it's really simple, I'm like, "Okay, let's look at Irving Penn." If I think of negative space and optical illusion, I think Herb Ritts. And obviously Avedon, again, because he fought against art and fashion—but unbeknownst to him, it's one and the same.
I think increasingly, if you have a concise vision, your work can exist in several different genres. That's not to say it's not incredibly difficult, but there are a few examples of people doing it well.
I think a great example is Jonas Lindstroem.
I adore him!
It's funny because he was looking for an intern a while back. He posted on his Instagram story that you'd need a drivers license, so jokingly I re-storied it with, "Guess I'm gonna need to go get a driver's license." He saw it and was like, "I love your work." I was thrilled, but also didn't want our first interaction to be me jokingly asking to be his intern!
Looking back at the start of 2020, you've had a knockout year if it weren't for the quarantine. A Garage cover with Kendall Jenner, a Rolling Stone cover featuring SZA, Normani, and Megan Thee Stallion, and a really beautiful personal project for Luncheon Magazine. Can you tell me a bit more about the Kendall cover and how the Maurizio Cattelan inspiration came about?
I was already shooting in L.A. with Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, the style director of Garage Magazine. She told me, "We're going to shoot this, this, and this." One project was the Kendall shoot. I was like "Oh my god, it's Kendall Jenner. Shit. Okay. She said she wanted to do it!" Because Gabriella's a good friend, I told her, "I'm going to be honest, I'm not sure," and she's like, "Why?" I was like, "I've never been in a spotlight in that sense." Shooting major models, like Naomi Campbell, is different. [When you're shooting Kendall], it's a whole other world I'm not a part of at all. She's part of this family that's on social media and popular and whatnot, but she herself is still a model, so I need to take that notion away. Once that happened, I was like, "Yeah, we can do it." Then when they said Maurizio Cattelan, I had even more anxiety. I knew of his work, but I was also nervous that people were just going to dissect the photographs, or they'd be like "Let's just shoot the banana," but we needed to actually understand what it means. We needed to understand the essence of his work because when I look at artists for research, I don't just look at them as a visual aesthetic thing. I like to contextualize—when was his image shot? How was it shot?
When it came to Cattelan, my assistant and I sat down and said to Garage, let's just get an idea first. Then me, Gabriella, and Julia Wagner, the set designer, all had the same thought. We were like, let's basically just pick the artwork of his that we genuinely like, find out the meanings behind it, and then add our twist and flip it.

What sorts of pieces did you add that made it feel more like your vision?
I wanted to do hair down to the floor for Kendall—I was thinking about Nicki Minaj's Instagram video where she does her hair flip and gets on a flight to Prague—the you-can't-even-spell-Prague challenge (laughs). Julia was like "Let's break the fourth wall," and flip the picture, because the Cattelan artwork that the cover is based on is a bust of Stephanie Seymour. So that's how we landed on that one shot of Kendall from behind. Gabby's a huge fan of Hitchcock and we both had the same idea for the little film we did. I was like, "Is Kendall on set?" I need birds trying to kill her" (laughs). We took it seriously but pushed it in another way; I almost needed to bring some more slapstick humor into it.
The last idea we had came from Julia. She was like, "Let's tape Campbell to the wall," because there's this art piece that Cattelan did that's quite similar. Cattelan decided to tape his own gallerist, Massimo de Carlo, to his gallery wall in Milan. So then I was like, "Let's use that energy. It's a photo of Kendall taking a photo of me," but it's actually me taking the photo.
Did you have to composite it because of time? I imagine it'd take a bit too long to tape yourself to the wall with Kendall waiting on set?
Yeah, she had to leave before we shot that, we literally only had six hours for all the shots.

Was there something about Kendall that surprised you?
I went into it thinking I know about Kendall Jenner—and in reality I don't actually know much about this girl. I just decided to go in there with a blank canvas, with no preconceived notion of her, and she was a hoot. She's ready. She was very professional, very chill, and she was up to do everything we could. It wasn't like a laugh and giggles, rolling around on the floor situation, but it was very professional and she was present. It was just like working with any other model, really, it just happened to be Kendall Jenner. She was in that harness when we were swinging her upside down. She was having a great time during the shoot and I stopped to ask, "Are your ribs not hurting?" She goes, "They are." She's great to work with because there's no concept too ambitious for her.

You had this Rolling Stone cover shoot. Was that before or after Garage?
Luncheon was the second week of January. Then I had a day off, then it was Garage, and then I did another project, and after, it was Rolling Stone.
That's a lot of pressure.
In January, I had the big Luncheon shoot, then flew to LA, stayed there for a week and half. Came back to London, then back to LA to shoot Rolling Stone and back to London to shoot. I didn't have time to go, "Oh my god, I'm shooting the Rolling Stone cover." But then on set, the photo editor was like "By the way, you're the first black man to shoot this cover." I went, what?
Like, you're telling me that now? Before my first frame?
I was just about to take a test shot of Megan!
I want to explore this idea of the culture's exhaustion of blackness and why you decided to make a personal project about that.
I was approached by Luncheon in May of 2019 to do a shoot for them. I had no idea what I wanted to do. I went to my friend Gareth Wrighton's studio for a change of scenery; He was doing his collection and I was like, "Can I come over and just chill? I'll watch you draw and just be. I don't need to do anything else." And literally in conversation with him, he says "Do we go get a meal deal?" And I said "Aw, meal deals, I remember those." I remember thinking as a kid how I stuck it all in my mouth, just so my brother wouldn't have some. I'm such a glutton. That one conversation sparked the whole thing.
There's this anime character in Full Metal Alchemist called Gluttony. His whole stomach and body opens up with these huge teeth. I was like that's literally me whenever I see cheesecake. That physical character reminded me of Hieronymus Bosch, a painting with a huge head.
I met with Gareth and he put the glue and the pieces together. The exhaustion of blackness was the last idea. I was thinking of a way to do it that was more informative than barking, "People steal black people's stuff, [their culture]." Because that's fact, we all know that. I'm not the first or the last person to say it. So I went back and looked at Rembrandt and Hieronymus Bosch. Originally, I wanted to create a conveyor belt rolling into Gareth's sculpture, but because of budget constraints, that just wasn't the tea. You'll notice in the right hand corner of my photograph that there's a portrait of Jesus Christ. Religion used to be a huge part of my life, I was raised Jehovah's Witness. Before white people came to Africa, there was no such thing as Christianity there. So it's a reference to this idea of them taking so much and leaving that behind.

When you're making personal work versus editorial, are you ever hesitant to invest your money? Is it ever sort of scary to drop cash on an idea you're not sure will turn out the way you wanted it to?
I'm a frugal queen. I didn't grow up with money. Having money for me is so new, and I don't even have money. I still remember what it's like to be dirt poor. When I do invest money into something, God be damned, I'm going to exhaust myself so much, so that if it doesn't turn out how I want it to, there's nothing else I can say. I'd literally just be like, "You know what, I did every single thing I could do, what else could I have done?"
What are your tips for working from home, since freelancers like yourself are a bit more adjusted to this sort of lifestyle?
I think that routine is key. Simple things, like you have your breakfast and you make sure you don't wear clothes that aren't conducive to work. We don't know if this COVID-19 is going to stop and because if that happens, Lord have mercy, just think of the way everyone's going to be working 200,000 times faster to catch up Take these times to take a day off. Yesterday, I organized my journals and clothes. That's something to do. Just one thing a day. Don't kill yourselves.
What's been your most challenging shoot to date?
It was my first ad job for a really great client, but I can't say their name. The location was in the UK, but still quite far to travel to. It was a big deal at the time. The cast was huge but it revolved around this one celebrity. The celebrity never showed up to set, so I ended up having to shoot a stand-in and we composited the celebrity's head into the frame later on in post. It was a stressful job, but I have to give credit to everyone, because the image turned out great and you'd really never know.
When work is stressful, or you're booked back to back with three cover shoots, what do you say to yourself to remain calm?
I always say, "Be the sunshine you want to see in the world." Only because under such an amount of stress and pressure and lack of sleep and different time zones, you really do become a shell of a person. There are times when I've just been emitting pure darkness and it's not cute to be around. I try to remember why I take pictures. I had a not-so-great upbringing and then I had to leave home for being gay, which left me homeless but throughout it all, I still went to school. I lived in the sticks, and would go to Central London. I would have to get a bus, a train, and then take a bus, then walk. It would take about, every day, three to four hours to get to school once I left home. I still did it because I wanted to go in and paint, I wanted to go in and take pictures. What else did I have? I was homeless and didn't have money. I've resolved to be happy and successful no matter what, if I am allowed to take pictures. People like me haven't been allowed to do lots of things and during my time at Central Saint Martins, there weren't many modern black photographers I could look up to.
What are you most proud of in regards to your career at this point?
I'm very proud that I have succeeded and I'm still succeeding because the odds were stacked against me heavily. I've been able to come out of it, and despite mental health issues and physical issues and emotional issues and being black and queer—I'm at a point now where I can be me in a room and not be small. I'm not shrinking myself. I used to be so anxious that I would be the loudest thing in the room. Now I'm just like, you know what? If I just sit in silence, silence doesn't mean I'm mute. Silence means I'm confident enough to sit here and not say anything. I don't have to.

This text fits to which goal? Each person gets a card with a text on one side and the answer (the goal) on the other. Everyone walks around the room, asks the nearest person the question for them to answer, and then provides the correct response. Reverse roles so the other person asks their question, and checks the correct answer. Swap cards after you have asked each other your question.
– Throughout the game, the "game-master" will swap out used cards with new questions from the pile.


When Bittrex listed ION on their exchange, some raised questions about the relationship between, on one hand, ION and ionomy (the digital currency, and the digital gaming company, respectively), and, on the other hand, Paycoin and G.A.W (the digital currency that traded as XPY, and the defunct company being prosecuted by federal government and customers of perpetrating a Ponzi scheme, respectively).
Some of the people who have contributed their labor to the ionomy project, including the development of ION, were customers of G.A.W. As customers, ALL were on the victim side of the fraud.
None of the participants in the ionomy project were ever involved in the perpetration of the G.A.W. fraud.
It was only after G.A.W. collapsed that any members of our team attempted to help salvage the development of XPY.
Was anybody on the ION Team Employed by G.A.W.?
No. At no time was any member of the ION or the ionomy team employed by G.A.W. Miners or Homero Josh Garza, nor were any involved in the creation and launch of Paycoin.
Is ION the same thing as XPY?
No. ION is a coin that is wholly independent from Paycoin. Paycoin still exists as its own coin and blockchain. ION was not a coin swap, hard fork, or rebrand in any way, shape, or form.
During the Initial Coin Offering, some ION was sold for BTC, and some ION was traded for XPY, ETH, DOGE, and LTC at fair market value. Over 335 BTC was raised during the ION ICO.
Members of the ionomy project have sought to avoid making the mistakes other digital currency enterprises have made. We have developed a business model that hasn't been tried before. We look forward to an opportunity to allow the efforts we've invested in developing digital games and an intricate digital economy to speak for itself.
Have more questions? Join ionomy slack. We'd be happy to address them.

Kathryn Schulz, Come To Kerala
April 10, 2015 April 10, 2015 / Organikos
Past invitations have been sent to environmentally-oriented illustrators, to entrepreneurial conservation artists, to sandplay free spirits, to wildlife management scientists, and to food prodigies; but not enough attention has been paid, in our invitations, to word specialists. So, moving right along, Kathryn please be our guest. We would love to host you here and/or here and/or here.
We have not read the book in the link above, nor even a review of the book, but we are linking to its homepage because there you will find not only information about her book but also links to the two TED talks given by the author, whose profession is listed as Wrongologist. Catchy titles are not what catch us. Scintillating writing on the meaning of words does. For that, you could not do much better than starting here, which will also justify our invitation, as wordplay appreciators, to one of the best:
What Part of "No, Totally" Don't You Understand?
BY KATHRYN SCHULZ
Not long ago, I walked into a friend's kitchen and found her opening one of those evil, impossible-to-breach plastic blister packages with a can opener. This worked, and struck me as brilliant, but I mention it only to illustrate a characteristic that I admire in our species: given almost any entity, we will find a way to use it for something other than its intended purpose. We commandeer cafeteria trays to go sledding, "The Power Broker" to prop open the door, the Internet to look at kittens. We do this with words as well—time was, spam was just Spam—but, lately, we have gone in for a particularly dramatic appropriation. In certain situations, it seems, we have started using "no" to mean "yes."
Here's Lena Dunham demonstrating this development, during a conversation with the comedian Marc Maron on his podcast "WTF." The two are talking about people who reflexively disparage modern art:
MARON: They can look at any painting and go, "Eh." They can look at a Rothko and go, "Hey, three colors." And then you want to hit them.
DUNHAM: No, totally.
Dunham is twenty-eight years old, but the "No, totally!" phenomenon is not limited to her generation. It's not even limited to "No, totally." I first started noticing it when a fiftysomething acquaintance responded to a question I asked by saying, "Yup! No, very definitely." That sent me looking for other examples, which turn out to be almost nonexistent in written English but increasingly abundant in speech. In 2001, the journalist Bernard Kalb told the White House correspondent Dana Milbank that it was the job of reporters to thoroughly investigate political candidates, to which Milbank responded, "Oh, no, yes, I agree with you there." In 2012, Anderson Cooper, talking with the CNN senior political analyst Gloria Borger, referred to Newt Gingrich as "the guy who has come back from the dead multiple times." Borger's reply veered toward Molly Bloom terrain: "Yes, no, exactly, exactly, exactly."
"No, totally." "No, definitely." "No, exactly." "No, yes." These curious uses turn "no" into a kind of contranym: a word that can function as its own opposite. Out of the million-odd words in the English language, perhaps a hundred have this property. You can seed a field, in which case you are adding seeds, or seed a grape, in which case you are subtracting them. You can be in a fix but find a fix for it. You can alight from a horse to observe a butterfly alighting on a flower.
Such words—also called auto-antonyms, antagonyms, Janus words, and antiologies—can arise for different reasons. Some are just a special kind of homonym; what appears to be one word with two opposite meanings is really two different words with identical spellings and pronunciations. Thus "clip," meaning "to attach together," comes from the Anglo-Saxon clyppan, while "clip," meaning "to cut off," comes from the Old Norse klippa. Other contranyms arise when nouns becomes verbs. Sometime around 1200 A.D., dust turned into a verb and, as dust will do, went every which way: "to dust" can mean to remove dust, as from a bookshelf, or to add something dusty, as flour to a cake pan or snow to the streets of Brooklyn. Alternatively, a contranym can reverse meanings when it is used as a different part of speech. As a noun, "custom" refers to a behavior that is common to many people. As an adjective, it refers to something designed for just one person.
Occasionally, however, a contranym arises through a process called amelioration, whereby a normally negative word develops a secondary, positive meaning. This phenomenon is particularly common in slang: "bad" becomes good, "wicked" becomes awesome, and "sick" and "ill" become wonderful. (They have been ameliorated: made better.) The use of "no" to mean "yes" appears to be an example of amelioration, but with one important distinction: "no" can't mean "yes" on its own. Consider a slightly abridged version of Lena Dunham's conversation about art appreciation:
MARON: And then you want to hit them.
DUNHAM: No.
Take away the "totally" and Dunham appears to be rejecting anti-philistine violence. By contrast, you can take away the "no" without doing any evident semantic damage at all…

Title: A meeting at the front.
Publication date: January 2005
On March 12, 1917 (Justinian calendar), the Petrograd garrison rose up. Nicholas II abdicated three days later in favor of a provisional government, chaired by Prince Lvov, which lasted until July 20, leaving room for a cabinet headed by Alexander Kerensky.
Despite their rapid recognition by the Allied Powers (France, England, Italy) and the measures adopted in line with the traditional program of the Russian Democrats: abolition of the death penalty, abolition of legislation discriminating against nationalities or religions, the new authorities are unable to cope with the situation. To establish its legitimacy, the provisional government then decides to convene a Constituent Assembly, elected on the basis of direct, equal and secret universal suffrage, which will have the task of giving the new Russia laws based on equality and freedom ( Manifesto of March 20).
Returning to the experience of the (vanquished) revolution of 1905, the revolutionary parties - revolutionary socialist, social democratic (Menshevik) and Bolsheviks - rely on the soviets. These councils, which appeared spontaneously throughout Russia in industrial centers, garrisons and countryside, federate and meet in regional and then national congresses. A first All-Russian Conference of Soviets took place at the end of March. There are about 900 councils of workers, soldiers and peasants 'deputies on the eve of the Bolsheviks' coup in October.
The Petrograd Soviet which meets at the Tauride Palace (photo n ° 1), seat of the douma (parliament established at the end of 1905) symbolizes the democratic phase of the revolution: a myth that will ignite the imagination is being born. By its structure, the soviet gives an impression of direct democracy. In reality, it is a complex organization both from the point of view of the form (pyramidal) and that of the rivalries between parties that take place there against a background of social opposition - the soldiers in the majority of peasant origins play a decisive role.
The influence of the Soviets grew over the weeks as the provisional government delayed in reuniting the Constituent Assembly and lost its foothold in the war against Germany. From March 14, the Petrograd Soviet placed this question at the center of the debate by launching an appeal to the peoples of the whole world to invite them to "a common and decisive action in favor of peace". Soon some Soviets rejected the authority of the government, which had made a commitment to the Allies to continue fighting, to respect the treaties, called for the "high patriotism" of the people and promised to provide the army with the necessary combat. Exhausted by three years of a particularly deadly conflict (1.7 million soldiers killed), Russia is no longer capable of making such an effort. On the front, the Russian army is breaking down (photo n ° 2). Pacifism spreads and discipline collapses: there are 2 million desertions from March to October. The introduction of a war jurisdiction restoring the death penalty on the front lines (July 25) is not enough to stem a phenomenon affecting 10 million men thirsting for peace.
The revolution of February 1917 (Gregorian calendar) fails to establish a constitutional democracy. The internal political development of Russia is subordinated to the consequences of the world conflict, which by its scale and its unprecedented violence disrupts the Russian economy, society and political system. A supporter of the war, the provisional government saw itself discredited by successive military defeats and suffered growing competition from the Soviets, a veritable revolutionary counter-power, which soon escaped any control. Acquired by Lenin and his "April Theses", the Petrograd Soviet proceeded in October, under the responsibility of Trotsky, to a coup led by a small armed group: the October "revolution" replaced the October revolution.

The Asaba massacre took place in the nigerian town of Asaba during the Biafran war 7-10 of October 1967. Between 500 and 700 townspeople died in a massacre that was carried out by Nigerian governement troops. University of South Florida (USF) has made extensive research about this event, which is presented on the website http://asabamemorial.org/. They describe their project as follows:
"The Asaba Memorial Project represents a collaboration between USF researchers in Anthropology and History, together with the people of Asaba, and the USF Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, to document and memorialize a mass killing of civilians that took place in 1967, during the Nigerian Civil War. The goal of this initiative is to "reclaim" the history of the event, in a spirit of reconciliation, allowing previously-unheard stories to be told and valued."
The website also includes a partial list of those killed in October 1967, which was compiled by Asaba Development Council in 1981.

51: Dr. Paula Derdiger, author of Reconstruction Fiction: Housing and Realist Literature in Postwar Britain 0
Reconstruction Fiction: Housing and Realist Literature in Postwar Britain (Ohio State University Press, 2020) by Dr. Paula Derdiger, Associate Professor of English at the University of Minnesota Duluth, looks at how historical changes in housing after the second World War impacted the realist literature of British writers.
You can check out Reconstruction Fiction here at the library or get the pdf (free, open access), as well as find the book on the Ohio State University Press website. Dr. Derdiger can be found on her university webpage. She also grew up in Deerfield and it's wonderful to be able to celebrate her work at her hometown library!
Topics include: Complicating narratives of literary history that pit modernism against realism. The connection between Colin MacInnes' narrative structure and Brutalist architecture. How Elizabeth Taylor's ironically meager plots mirror postwar rationing. A special focus on a favorite writer, Elizabeth Bowen, including Bowen's declarations on post-WW2 literature, her "relentlessly passive" sentence structure, her atmospheric sense of place, and particularly her novels The Death of the Heart and The Little Girls. Plus how all these writers responded to Virginia Woolf. This is a joyous conversation about literary form and content and style, about how writers respond to each other and the world, and about the social impact of realist fiction.

Forget Griezmann: Man United should land this £53m-rated Serie A forward in January
By Jack Saville
The Manchester United fans in the Transfer Tavern are rather bemused by reports linking their club with a move for Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann.
Although the vast majority of the Red Devils would be delighted to see Griezmann make a switch from Madrid to Manchester this month, they are not best pleased by the most recent reports that he is demanding £400,000 a week to join Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford, according to The Sun. Even in this day and age, the figure quoted is quite simply absurd, and it is no wonder the United supporters are questioning if the French star is worth anything close to that figure.
With that being said, Mourinho should be working in conjunction with Ed Woodward to identify a more financially feasible alternative to Griezmann this month.
And the pairing would be wise to make an enquiry to Napoli regarding the availability of Lorenzo Insigne.
So far this season, Napoli's attacking wide player has scored 10 goals – including a deft finish against Manchester City – and provided 7 assists in 28 appearances for the club.
His electrifying pace has proven to be a valuable outlet for Maurizio Sarri's outfit so far this season whilst operating on the left side of an attacking front-three.
Although United are not short of options in this position, Insigne's arrival at the club should encourage Mourinho to deploy Rashford in his natural centre-forward position and experiment with his tactical approach to include the likes of Insigne, Rashford, Martial and Lukaku within the same starting eleven.
As league-leaders of Serie A, Napoli will be desperate to keep all of their most talented players at the club this month to ensure that they finish at the summit of the Italian top-flight this season.
With that to consider, a transfer for Insigne certainly won't come cheap, but considering Griezmann's extortionate wage demands, a deal for the Italian forward should prove to be more financially beneficial for United in the long-run.
