I have read somewhere that the original fall fairs for the Arthur area were not held in Arthur, but in the Kenilworth area. Mr. William McQuinn wrote a history of Arthur and published it in the 1950′s. He stated that the original fairs held in the village took place on a lot approximately six acres in size and located opposite the present Senior Citizens Hall on Isabella Street. The property ran back from Isabella to Eliza Street and is now part of the playground of the old public school.
Mr. Arthur Bristow had forwarded to Mr. McQuinn, a write-up of the first fair in October 1881. It was published in a paper with the title ″Mount Forest Free Press, Arthur, Luther, Proton, Egremont, Normanby and Minto Advocate″. The prize list wasn't very extensive. The pioneer exhibitors were content with the honour of winning first prize for their exhibits. There were no buildings on the property and it was used for the field lacrosse games that were very popular in those days.
About 1890, The Agricultural Society purchased land in a triangle shape, bordered by Eliza, Domville, and Tucker Street. It was known as the Village Common, as many farmers retiring into the village would bring a cow or two with them from the farm. After the cows were milked in the morning, they would be turned loose to wander up to the common pasture. Mr. McQuinn recalled seeing 30 to 40 cows pasturing here when he was a boy.
In 1896 the society started construction of the half mile oval race track, which was officially opened on Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, June 20, 1897. It proved to be one of the best tracks in Western Ontario. Later a grandstand was built that held at least 600 people, along with a judge’s stand. Horses could be stabled under the grandstand. On Halloween night 1978, the grandstand burned to the ground. The judge’s stand was taken down in 1995 or 1996 because it had become unsafe. The early 1980's saw the last horse races held at the fair. In the early 1920's the Agricultural Society built an agricultural hall on the grounds. Contractor John Ashwood of Kenilworth was hired to build the arena at a cost of $2.90 a square yard, the Agricultural Society provided the gravel and cement. Some material was salvaged from and old arena on Frederick St. The total cost of the project, including drilling a well was $15,000.00. This building served as the arena for over 50 years, until it was condemned in 1976. The new arena complex, costing $750,000.00, consisting of an ice pad, lacrosse floor, and two halls and meeting rooms was built across the parking lot in 1977.The Arthur Curling club purchased the old ice pad and erected a building over it for their use.
In 1956, stone gate posts were presented by the Ontario Dept. of Agriculture in recognition of 100 years of service and to honour the pioneers of the community, and all those who, during the past 100 years had served the cause of Agriculture in the Arthur Area. Many of the stones used in the construction of the posts were from the foundation of the United Church shed.
In 1958, the Agricultural Society “sold” the property over to the Village of Arthur for a $1.00, to be used as a recreation centre, with the agreement that the Agricultural Society would have the use of the grounds and facilities for a total of 16 free days each year. Due to amalgamation that agreement is now with the Township of Wellington North. In the 1980's a barn was erected for use during the cattle shows and in the 1990's a 100' x 200' ring was put in for the horse shows.
Presently the Arthur Fall Fair is held in September on the weekend following Labour Day, making full use of the centre as well as the grounds.
With the arena, curling club, ball diamonds and the swimming pool on the old Village common grounds, it is usually the most popular spot in the community.


Theory of the Apocalypse
by Jonathan Selwood
29, 2007 - It's been said that the first great novel of the
post September 11th world has yet to be written. While I don't
think "The Pinball Theory of the Apocalypse" is reaching
for that goal, it certainly deserves to be considered as a work
that empathizes with the current American psyche while satirizing
celebrity worship, the art world and our quest for all things
superficial. In fact, it's the debate of superficial rewards
versus artistic integrity that haunts the novel's main character
Isabel Raven as she deals with Los Angeles earthquakes, a cheating
celebrity boyfriend, California wild fires, a sociopathic agent
and a healthy roster of fringe-element wack jobs.
Selwood has written a virgin-tight manuscript that delivers
both humor and insight. While I prefer stronger female leads,
the numbed acceptance of Isabel Raven probably mirrors the majority
of people today and sets up the dilemna she must deal with.
The pre-apocalyptic world (Isabel's father has discovered that
the solar system will collapse by 2049) Isabel lives in (again
mirroring our own fears of global warming and terrorism), justifies
the public's pre-occupation with the here and now and further
underscores the futility of long-term goals and personal ethics.
Pinball Theory of the Apocalypse" is a fast and fun read
that gives an excellent snapshot of our current times.
Beefboy was sent a preview copy "The Pinball Theory of
the Apocalypse" and the marketing department has been very
clever by creating a couple of websites that are mentioned in
the book itself. While I was dissapointed to not find those
nude photos of Isabel Raven, her artist
website and her father's page on The
Pinball Theory are nice extras. You can also visit the website

From IO9: a new method for visualising changes in networks have been applied to journal citation data from 7000 journals over the last decade.
The main result: ‘neuroscience’ became its own field sometime during 2003-2005, when citations from molecular & cell biology, neurology, psychology, and a few other disciplines coalesced into one field. It’s also interesting to see just how huge the field of molecular & cell biology is. Remembering this data is based on citations – no wonder those journals have such high impact factors compared to say… journals on hearing etc..

Safe in the Harbor (1993)
While Lee Murdock always strives to present a varied yet balanced “slice” of Great Lakes heritage in each of his CDs, still this CD, more than any other, has a decidedly Irish emphasis, and includes some of the classic Beaver Island traditional classics from the Ivan Walton Collection. Cold Winds & Safe in the Harbor are a “matched set” of vintage Murdock, from the “must have” archives.
Total Playing Time: 63:52
Cover art: Jay Steinke
Starting with two traditional tunes from Irish settlers of Beaver Island, Michigan, (The Gallagher Boys and Yankee Brown), add an instrumental tune by 17th century Irish harper, Turlough O’Carolan, Eleanor Plunkett. The Carolan tune is appended to a song written by contemporary songwriter Andy Mitchell, Indiana, singing of an Irish immigrant in Indiana who can’t get past his longing for his homeland, and so has decided to leave the riches and opportunity of “Amerikay” to return to Ireland.
Follow that with the Henry Clay Work classic, Lost on the Lady Elgin, another amazing piece of Irish-American history. When the sidewheel steamer excursion boat, Lady Elgin, went down off Evanston, Illinois, in 1861, it took the lives of many people — mostly Irish-Americans from the city of Milwaukee, who were returning from Chicago where they went to support their candidate, Stephen A Douglas, in the Lincoln-Douglas Debates.
This CD also includes Lee’s arrangement of Stan Rogers’ song, White Squall, and Safe in the Harbor, a song written by Australian folksinger Eric Bogle to memorialize his friend and colleague, Stan Rogers.

The broadest of perspectives can locate the shift underway on planet Earth as the most recent scene in a vast pageant of cosmic emergence. A cosmological panorama takes us beyond the ambit of daily life and beyond even the larger compass of human history, offering a vantage point for pondering the contemporary predicament.
A reminder of where we are in the immensity of space, the eons of time, and the majestic evolution of existence, this wide vista cultivates a sense of awe and humility, stirring resolve to renew the vitality of our precious island of life. Such reflections bring into focus a transcendent challenge: to navigate toward a new order of complexity in our corner of the universe, a flourishing and resilient global society.
The story of the cosmos begins nearly 14 billion years ago with the colossal energy eruption of the Big Bang. From the primal chaos of this prodigious event, structures consolidated in distinct stages, each adding new complexity to the grand unfolding of being: quarks and basic particles formed from the cauldron of radiant energy in the first fraction of a second; simple atoms stabilized after some 300,000 years as the universe cooled; galaxies coalesced around random asymmetries in matter distribution, eventually giving birth to stars and planets; and about 3.8 billion years ago, life appeared on Earth, opening a new chapter in the story of the universe.
Biological evolution has been a wondrous adventure of tenacity and inventiveness through titanic episodes of extinction and proliferation. In the fullness of evolutionary time, creatures with brains appeared, enjoying enhanced ability to repel danger and secure sustenance. Eventually, our diminutive mammalian forebears entered the stage, minor characters scurrying inconspicuously among larger and smarter Mesozoic contemporaries. Somehow, they found niches through the long reigns of the trilobites, fish, and reptiles. The actuarial probability of survival for these early mammals could not have been good, and the odds of hitting the jackpot in the lottery of evolution very long indeed.
Everything changed some 65 million years ago when Earth collided with an enormous asteroid, the single most cataclysmic day on this planet. This 10 kilometer asteroid from outer space struck with the force of a billion Hiroshima-size bombs, abruptly altering the scenery, plot, and cast of characters in the theater of natural history. The impact lifted immense dust clouds that blocked the sun and destroyed plant life. The death knell for the imperious dinosaurs (and three-quarters of then existing species) was the sound of opportunity for our furry ancestors, who made a fine living scavenging the insects and snails that flourished on the massive detritus of the global killing fields.
At the dawning of the Cenozoic Era, to be mammalian and small was highly adaptive. Multiplying and diversifying, they populated the Class Mammalia with innumerable design variations for warm blooded and lung-breathing animals. The grandeur of that variety, from schooner-sized whales to pinkie-sized bumblebee bats, remains on display in the 5,000 or so extant mammalian species still clinging to the shrunken habitats of today’s ecologically impoverished planet.
One uncommonly dexterous line—the primates—proved particularly consequential, giving rise to hominids, the first bipedal, tool-developing mammals. These brainy, social creatures jumped onto evolution’s fast track and never looked back. The advent of human consciousness marked both a culmination and an inception: the capstone of biological evolution and the cornerstone of social evolution. The appearance of human culture set off a second Big Bang in the generation of novel forms of existence in the known universe.
Cultural evolution (including technology, social structures, rituals, and symbols) entered into a reciprocal dance with physical and cognitive evolution. Selection for tool-making, language, and social cooperation produced beings of unprecedented ingenuity and adaptability. At each moment, the cumulative heritage of ideas, institutions, inventions, and artifacts formed a springboard for accelerated social change, leaving in the dust the far more gradual processes of biological and geophysical evolution. The power of culture to mold and control the environment liberated humanity from dependence on narrow ecological niches, allowing congenitally preprogrammed behavior to give way to more malleable, historically constructed forms of conduct and association.
In three million years, a mere tick of the geological clock, the primitive sentience of early humans evolved into the higher consciousness of our anatomically modern ancestors some 200,000 years ago. A creature was born that carried the awesome power—and heavy burden—of introspection and reason. This was a luminous and fateful moment in the long saga of cosmic emanation; when it begot a primate able to contemplate the mystery of existence, the universe lit up to itself.
The arrival of modern humans, the last surviving hominid, brought the new phenomenon of human history to the unfolding scene, and with it a qualitatively different kind of transition: the movement between historical epochs. The most far-reaching of these social shifts were great transitions that altered the entire socio-cultural matrix, yielding new relationships among people and between society and nature. At these junctures, reinforcing processes of change rippled across multiple dimensions—technology, consciousness, and institutions—and weakened existing regulatory structures and social norms. Of course, societies did not always survive these systemic ruptures; indeed, most civilizations of the past have fallen and vanished, spectacles of collapse that fascinate anew in our own time of vulnerability. But when they do not crumble, a fading order gestates a successor society, setting in motion a fresh dynamic of social evolution.
Through mechanisms of conquest and assimilation, change radiates gradually from centers of novelty, although earlier eras can long survive in places that are physically remote and culturally isolated. Today’s multitiered world overlays globalized dynamics across a mosaic of modern, pre-modern, and even remnants of Stone Age cultures. Naturally, the course of history cannot be neatly organized as schoolbook timelines with sharp ticks demarcating well-defined epochs. Real history is an intricate and irregular process conditioned by specific local factors, chance, serendipity, and human volition.
Various periodization criteria, such as the dominant political regime, major technology, and mode of production, offer complementary insights, but only partial truths. Moreover, perceptions of social change depend on the granularity of the historical lens through which we peer. Zooming in on finer spatial resolutions and shorter time frames provides greater detail; zooming out brings longer-term, larger-scale processes into focus.
A long view of the broad contours of the human experience reveals two sweeping macro-transformations. The first occurred roughly 10,000 years ago when Stone Age culture gave rise to Early Civilization. The second saw Early Civilization yield to the Modern Era over the last millennium.
The Modern Era itself confronts a deep structural crisis induced by its contradictions and limitations: perpetual growth on a finite planet, political fragmentation in an interdependent world, widening chasms between the privileged and the excluded, and a stifling culture of consumerism. In our time, an exhausted modernity is relinquishing the stage. A third macro-shift in the human condition is underway with implications as far-reaching as those of previous great transformations. History has entered the Planetary Phase of Civilization.
Scanning the contours of change across Stone Age, Early Civilization, Modern Era, and Planetary Phase epochs reveals a broad tendency for society to become more extensive and elaborate. Societal complexity (the number of variables needed to describe roles and relationships, and the degree of connectedness) increases over the course of these transitions. Each emergent phase absorbs and transforms its antecedents, adding novel attributes, greater intricacy, and new dynamics. The characteristic unit of social organization moves from the highly local to the global, overlaying new forms on preexisting ones. The economic basis shifts from Stone Age hunting and gathering to the highly diversified and far-reaching globalized commerce of this century. Communications innovations— language, writing, printing, and information technology—usher in progressively more powerful modes of social intercourse.
The complexification and enlargement of society also quickens the pace of social evolution. Just as historical change moves more rapidly than biological change (and far more rapidly than geological change), so, too, is history itself accelerating. The Stone Age endured about 100,000 years; Early Civilization, roughly 10,000 years; and the Modern Era, now drawing to a close, began to stir nearly 1,000 years ago. If the Planetary Phase were to play out over 100 years, this sequence of exponentially decreasing timespans would persist. Whether this long pattern of acceleration is mere coincidence or manifestation of an underlying historical principle, the fact remains that the vortex of change now swirls around us with unprecedented urgency.
The Planetary Phase
The astonishing quick rise of the dominance of a single two-legged species; in a flicker of historical time, humanity has become a geological force, its once diminutive footprint grown to the scale of the planet. We are on the cusp of a new era, and its defining feature is that the globe itself is becoming the locus of social evolution and contending forms of consciousness.
The world grows ever more complex in a blur of social and environmental change. Circuits of almost everything—goods, money, people, information, ideas, conflict, pathogens, effluvia—spiral round the planet farther and faster. Multiple interweaving threads of connectivity lengthen, strengthen, and thicken, forming the ligature of an integrated social-ecological system.
Whether denied, welcomed, or feared, a phenomenon of extreme significance is in progress, irrevocably transforming our lives and the planet. Heretofore, the world could be reasonably approximated as a set of semi-autonomous entities—states, ecosystems, cultures, territories—subject to external interactions. As a superordinate system forms and global-scale processes increasingly influence the operation and stability of subsystems, such reductive partitioning becomes inaccurate and misleading.
The crystallizing global system comprises differentiated, interacting subsystems: economic, environmental, technological, cultural, and political. Transnational corporations have spun far-flung webs of production nodes and distribution channels, spewed rivers of international capital, and generated a bewildering array of financial instruments for speculative investment. The human transformation of nature has reached the level of the biosphere—the thin planetary shell that supports all life. The revolution in information and communication technology has compressed cultural and physical distance, penetrating remote societies and expanding cross-border networks and communities.
Governments have created new international structures of dialogue (and occasionally governance), their number and diversity synchronized to proliferating challenges. The porosity of traditional geographic and cultural boundaries generates new fissures of conflict among powerful states and with non-state actors.
The Planetary Phase is entangling people and places in one global system with one shared destiny. Observers highlight different aspects— economics, corporations, climate change, health, technology, terrorism, civil society, governance, culture—all introduced by the modifier global. Looking through specialized windows, economists see globalization, technologists spotlight digital connectivity, environmentalists foreground the transformation of nature by human action, and geologists proclaim the arrival of the Anthropocene, a new geological age. Heterodox social scientists suggest other sobriquets: the Econocene dominated by the false ideology of neoclassical economics or the Capitalocene defined by capitalist relations of production and power. Meanwhile, visionary philosophers and theologians point to signs of an emerging global ethos, while realpolitik types see only clashes of civilizations and great powers.
Each of these apertures on the human condition illuminates a critical aspect of the social-ecological whole, but rather than independent phenomena, these aspects are varied manifestations of a unitary transformation process. The Planetary Phase infuses the old adage of systems theory—the whole is more than the sum of its parts—with fresh meaning: there is something fundamentally new on the face of the earth. The global system and its components shape one another in a complex and reciprocal dance that changes both the whole and its parts.
Global climate change, driven by an infinitude of local actions, feeds back to alter local hydrology, ecosystems, and weather. The World Wide Web plugs individuals into an intercontinental cultural pulse from the big cities down to isolated villages and outposts, roiling traditional values and cultures. Supranational mechanisms of governance buck the prerogatives of sovereign states. Economic globalization drives and episodically disrupts national and local markets. The global poor, inundated with images of affluence, demand justice and seek access to wealthy countries, while despair, anger, and displacement feed the globalization of terrorism.
This scaling up of interconnection in the tangible space of institutions echoes in the subjective space of human consciousness. The nascent Planetary Phase elicits contradictory responses as some resist and others celebrate increasing interdependence. Antagonistic reaction to cosmopolitan intrusion has many faces: fundamentalism, nativism, isolationism, and anti-globalization. These powerful centrifugal forces could carry the day. Still, even as the backlash swells and suppurates, an equally powerful centripetal force is at play: the enlargement of the human project presses for a corresponding enlargement of human identity.
The intertwined destinies of people, generations, and all creatures stretch the arms of empathic embrace across space, time, and the natural world. The Planetary Phase has unleashed a mighty dialectic of chaos and order that drives, at once, toward splintered and integral futures. The fundamental quandary of the journey ahead is how to navigate these powerful cross-currents to a civilized most desirable future world.

“Men can only think. Women have a way of understanding without thinking. Woman was created out of God’s own fancy. Man, He had to hammer into shape.”
For the past few months I was in a weird slump. I couldn’t for the life of me finish a novel. Not even a book I liked. Needless to say, that did not sit well with me. Reading is my refuge and not being able to complete a book was doing my head in. One day I was feeling quite restless. So I went and stood in front of my bookshelf. The sight of my books always soothes my soul. My eyes fell on Tagore’s The Home and the World and as soon as I picked it up I had the sudden urge to read it. The sad and despondent woman standing by a window called to me. I started reading it immediately. I read most of it in one sitting. And I am happy to say that with this (must read) book my reading dry spell is over. Finally.
The Home and the World (Ghare Baire) was first published in 1916. It is set against the backdrop of the Partition of Bengal by the British. It shows a detailed presentation of India during its fight for Independence. It is set against the background of the famous Swadeshi movement. With this book, Gurudev Tagore portrayed through his three main characters a battle that he had with himself. The battle being the clash of two opposing ideas, namely, whether to follow the western culture or revolutionize against the said western culture. At that time, the whole country was fighting this battle.
It is both a love story and a book of political awakening. It shows the conflicts and turmoils in one’s home and the country and how the characters struggle with both the conflicts and how they deal with them. And how their lives change inevitably because of their actions and how they react to all events happening when the nation is in turmoil. The plot isn’t complex but it is highly impressionable and full of meaning. The writing is simple yet beautiful. The phrases and quotes are thought provoking and they make one pause and ponder.
My favorite aspect of the book is the transformation of the woman in the book. From a traditional, insecure and gullible wife she becomes a take charge, independent woman. With the changes and movements going on in the country, she changes too and becomes a formidable woman who can do anything. And she does, boy, she does.
Arranged marriage, a monotonous relationship, forbidden lust, passion, devotion, patriotism, dignity, nobility, deceit, envy, lies, greed, philosophy, politics and so on and so forth. This book has it all. It has many layers, just like its characters. The universalism and humanism in this book make it a timeless classic. It has been hundred years since this book was written and all that is in this book is still relevant in the modern times. This book is unique (obviously because, duh, Tagore). And it is an important read. I loved reading this book. My only regret is that I read its English translation and not the original Bengali text. A lot is lost in translation. Le sigh!
Note: This book review is part of a new initiative at Read Stuff With Me where some wonderful book-nerds will write book reviews and share stories of their personal connection to some books.

An Anthropologist Surveys Alzheimer’s Disease
A review of “The Alzheimer Conundrum: Entanglements of Dementia and Aging” by Margaret Lock. Princeton University Press, 2013.
by Guest Blogger,
Tyler Kokjohn, Ph.D.
Ignoring well-founded, but unwelcome criticism? - BAD IDEA.
I wonder what Dr. Lock was thinking when she published this book. It is not a light read and a bit depressing, so it doesn’t look like a future best seller.


"You only have I known of all the families of the earth"
Introduction to Hebrew History
The Hebrews are a people of miracles, from the first Hebrew, to the history of Israel, throughout the ages to the modern times, the Hebrews are indeed a people of miracles. Abraham was the first Hebrew, and the Lord swore an oath to him saying, "I will make of thee a great nation." Abraham believed God even though he and his wife Sarah were childless and very old. How could such a miracle happen? This is how the Lord works, he is a God of miracles and his promises always come true. Sarah laughed when Isaac was born and therefore his name meant "laughter."
The Hebrews indeed became a great nation, whom God not only called, but loved and cherished as his own bride. This Website traces Hebrew history from the time of Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, the Kings and prophets, the Assyrian and Babylonian captivities, to the time of Jesus, the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 A.D., and into modern times. We will also focus on the future glory and eternal rest promised to Abraham's offspring.

Most would agree that it can be hard to find free entertainment for kids these days. I’m not opposed to paying for memberships and passes to certain things, but it is always fun to have a few free options in your arsenal. One of my favorite free options is going to our local public library.
Brit and I have been taking Cambree to the library ever since she showed an interest in books, and now we take Crew even though he can’t pick out his favorite books just yet! Since we both work, we usually end up taking the kids early on Saturday mornings right when the library opens (10am in our case). We’ve found that this is a great way to start off the weekend after we’ve had the chance to wake up and eat breakfast at home. The library closest to our house has a wide variety of children’s books, CDs, DVDs, and more – all for free, of course. In addition to the normal things that you expect to see at a library, The Public Library of Cincinnati also offers a wide-range of programs that are free of charge. I’d recommend looking at their list of upcoming events or programs and picking a few to try out. Make sure you apply for your library card, if you don’t have one already.
As a family, we all always look forward to our library trips. We usually end up with a bag of books that is almost too heavy to carry and countless hours of bedtime reading materials. During a time where it feels like nearly everything is automated or online it is nice to unplug from that for a bit at the library.
If you haven’t been to your local library in a while, give it a shot and bring the kids along. Visit: http://www.cincinnatilibrary.org/ to find the library closest to you and then go!

I’ve been doing a lot of reading to broaden my mind professionally over the last few months. I’m going to write a mini review for each book I complete because:
- to imprint the primary points of each book in my mind
- to improve my writing
- to help others who might read this blog identify books that they may want to read or avoid
I read a lot of Godin in preparation for a day-long Q&A session with him that I attended the first week of September 2007 in New York City. Permission Marketing frames a favorite Godin rule of current existence: marketing isn’t the way it used to be. Godin describes the history and evolution of mass advertising succinctly and with value. This evolution is referred to in many other Seth Godin books as well as regularly in his blog posts.
Companies can no longer guarantee increased revenues by simply increasing advertising. The ratio is getting too tight and the tipping point where revenues can’t cover increased advertising expense occurs sooner and sooner. Dumping money into marketing won’t solve a problem unless a new currency is recognized.
This new currency is the attention of potential customers. Potential customers are the exclusive holders of this currency – they are in complete control (to a significant extent). Godin illustrates the difference between old/industrial/mass advertising and permission marketing. The old way was “interruption” marketing, like television/radio/print commercials that disrupted the content of those media. After more than a half-century of this kind of advertising, humans have learned to tune out the vast majority of interruption messages so something new must be done.
The meat of the book is Godin’s definition of permission marketing and his explanation of the 5 levels of permission marketing (listed in order of importance):
3. personal relationships
4. brand trust
In going through these five levels, Godin goes on to describe the concept of permission – it’s value, it’s importance, how it can be abused, and how permission is an ongoing process that can be shut off/cancelled at any time by the customer.
Godin provides us with several examples of web marketing failures as well as a series of case studies. One must bear in mind that this book was published in 1999 – some of the examples of poor web marketing are shocking (”Did companies really expect that to work?”) and similarly, even what were ingenious examples about ten years ago seem a bit dated and simple.
The book closes well with a currently valid permission marketing evaluation self-exam as well as a FAQ, both of which are completely usable to date. Despite the dated case studies, this book is very much worth reading for the definitions of permission and the other sections cited above. Permission Marketing provides a good foundation for more current examples that might be found elsewhere in other texts or even in Seth Godin’s blog archives.

Thank you for the warm welcome many of extended to this series after the first post last month and thanks for all chiming in with your bookmark confessions in our chat about folding down corners.
My eyes and hands may be occupied by crafty scraps much of the time but writing is what keeps my head and heart satisfied. So it made sense to recognise that by introducing these new book-loving 'wordy' posts to my blog this year. So let's get on with today's chapter shall we?
Last month I talked about The Infatuations by Javier Marias - a book translated from Spanish and, at that time, I hadn't planned for it to kick-start a veritable Spanish literature festival on my bookshelf ... but, somehow the next two novels I read were also translated from Spanish.
So today I'll share with you the two novels which completed my Spanish literature hat-trick [or should that be my tres tantos de la literatura española? ]
I know some of you are taking part in a reading challenge this year which involves reading one translated book ... so maybe there'll be something for you here to look out for ...
Traveller of the Century :: Andres Neuman
For a start it's close to 600 pages. Which is fine by me. I enjoy a big book. I like the immersive feeling you get when you invest in reading something that long. Like I'm moving into another town, another era, another life for the duration.
And then there's the fact that it's so full of everything that it's very hard to describe in a short summary. The topics covered include everything from: European history, politics and the social conventions of the early 19th Century [in which the novel is set] - to love, sex, culture, the art of translating texts [the protagonist Hans is a travelling translator] and there's even a murder mystery plot thrown in for good luck.
So why did I pick it up from the library shelf? What drew me to it?
Well what caught my eye in the 'blurb' was the description of the [fictional, German/Prussian border] town of Wandernburg as having 'shifting geography' and I liked that idea. It sounded like it would, and indeed it does, give the book a slight air of magical realism.
In fact I thought it might remind me of Mark Z Danielewski's House of Leaves - where the house is creepily larger on the inside [and no, it's not a TARDIS.]
But it turns out that while the layout of the town does indeed keep changing [streets, building and landmarks never quite keep themselves in one fixed spot], baffling those who are unfamiliar with it, it strangely doesn't play a great part in the plot ... it just serves to keep the whole book in a slightly off-kilter, unreal, category, marking it out as being about 19th Century ... but which is happy to use more modern experimental narrative techniques.
Here are a few of my favourite quotes to give you a flavour of the prose.
"An hour later the cold was so severe that the fire no longer warmed them. [...] The wind entered the mouth of the cave and seeped into the cracks, through the gaps in their clothing, and under their nails".
I love the image of the wind being so persistent that it even makes its way under their nails!
And how about another delightfully clever visual:
"For the first time Lamberg let out a long guffaw, then seemed amazed at himself and sucked his laugh up again like a noodle".Now then - it's time to put your hands over Granny's ears - because I want to talk about sex.
OK, I'm not actually going to talk about it [let alone quote from those scenes. Oh my!] but let me try to talk around it because as one review [from the Telegraph via the Amazon page] describes Traveller of the Century: [it's] "a big, utterly captivating murder mystery and love story, full of history and politics and the hottest sex in contemporary fiction."
To be honest I don't generally stumble across much sex [now there's a image you might not get out of your head for a while] ... I mean in the in the fiction I read so whether it's the hottest .. I don't know. But the relationship between Hans and Sophie - who wants more for her life than the stifling social codes of the day afford her - is both undeniably hot and, for me at least, an entirely unexpected interlude in the middle of this vast book about all kinds of other things!
The blurb said there was a 'love' story so I wasn't exactly prepared for any of the more ... let's call them 'energetic' scenes ... let alone what Sophie did with those soap suds ...
But for the record, like the rest of the text, all those scenes are very well crafted and not at all cliché or exploitative. But they are graphic - so consider yourself forewarned.
Me? I'm not especially shockable so I didn't mind in the slightest except ... there was just one issue I had with those scenes ... none of which is the fault of author Andres Neuman:
I wandered into the majority of those scenes while at work.
When my student is busy working, and doesn't need any assistance, I can occupy myself with a book. Which is fine and dandy ... until you find yourself in a room full of students learning how to search the library catalogue ... and suddenly you find yourself thrust into a carriage with someone wearing tight breeches ... and then you're in a bedroom when whoops! there go the breeches ...
I was completely paranoid that everyone would know what I was reading. As if there might be a large speech bubble above my head displaying the words as I read them! And, blimey ... did I make doubly sure that no one was reading over my shoulder!
So, how can I round this review up? Well, not wishing to reduce this vast multi-layered intellectual novel down to level of discussion my sister and I tend to have over wine and Pinterest - but ...
... if there's anything that will get you through the story it'll be leading man Hans. You'll love him so much you really won't mind spending 600 pages with him.
He's intelligent, forthright, decent [he looks after an ailing old organ grinder and his dog for goodness sake] and not to mention dashing [wild hair and big white shirts, it's all there]... in fact ...
... if Aiden Turner's got time on his hands after Poldark I could happily see him in the role of our traveller Hans anyone cares to turn this into a mini-series!
- "The result is a beautiful, accomplished novel: as ambitious as it is generous, as moving as it is smart.":: a review of The Traveller of the Century by Juan Gabriel Vásquez at The Guardian.
- "[...]books as stimulating, erudite and humane as this do not come along very often.": a review by Richard Gwyn at The Independent.
- And the Google Books page for the novel.
Inferno :: Benito Perez Galdos
Like the Traveller of the Century Benito Perez Galdos's Inferno is also set in the 19th Century.
But, unlike the Neuman's novel which was published in 2012 ... this one was written and published in the century it was set [1884 to be exact] and it shows.
Sophie in Traveller of the Century [the one enjoying herself with Hans] is a woman fighting against the social constraints of her time and making an attempt to live within the patriarchal oppression while trying to push at its boundaries.
Meanwhile, Amparo, the protagonist in Benito Perez Galdos's Inferno is just as stifled ... but don't expect any forthright speeches on how and why things must change from her. And the relationship she develops with her leading man couldn't be more different to that of Hans and Sophie.
And that's the thing about reading something set when it was written ... it's more closely aligned to the attitudes of the day. Which is not to say that Perez Galdos is entirely unsympathetic to Amparo's plight [whose only options for a stable future are given as marriage or the nunnery!]. It's just that he's reflecting what was. Not what we - in our enlightened vantage point 130 years later - would prefer it to be.
This book contains some achingly frustrating scenes where you just want to shake the characters and tell them to get over it. To just be together. To stop caring what polite society will and won't allow.
And even more disturbingly there's a whole section of the book containing scenes of what we'd now term 'domestic violence' which I found desperately claustrophobic and uncomfortable. But then ... they were no doubt intended to be. That kind of character exploration shouldn't be easy to read. But, in a book I was already struggling to like ... this really asked a lot.
Have you ever read something set in the past but written recently and found yourself pointing out its anachronistically feisty female characters saying "Oh that would never have happened? She would never really have been so bold, so outspoken, so emancipated" etc etc ... and you roll your eyes at the author for putting 21st Century words into 18th Century mouths? Well ..
... what reading Inferno has taught me is: when you find yourself inside a book which shows how some women really couldn't escape oppressive social conventions ... you'd really give anything for one wonderfully freeing unrealistic moment of defiance!
Further reading: this was tricky to find, there's not a great deal out there - not that's been translated into English at least. Plus the book seems a little tricky to get hold of - I came across my copy randomly in a charity shop.
So, that's my journey into Spanish fiction over for now. Since then I've visited Nigeria, America and Sweden ... maybe I'll give you a tour of those books another time.
Until then I'll welcome your thoughts on:
- reading translated fiction
- reading any of the novels or themes I've mentioned
- or even ...
- how you've perfected your poker-face while reading sex scenes in public ...
I await your comments ...

Jane Whiting 1868-1921
Parents: Jesse Whiting and Ellen Smith
Married: William Hickford in 2nd Quarter 1892 in the Risbridge district.(2)
Died: June 1921 in the Risbridge district. Buried on 7th June 1921 at Haverhill Cemetery.(3,4)
Bio: Jane appears on the 1871 census in Burton End, Haverhill, with her parents and siblings. On the next census in 1881 she is still at home, but is now working as a nurse maid. Jane does not seem to be on the 1891 census, but the next year there is a record of the marriage of a Jane Whiting to a William Hickford in the Risbridge district. William was his preferred name, but he was actually born Thomas William Hickford, son of George Hickford and Susan Bowyer, in Kedington in 1867(6). The 1901 census shows Jane and William living together at 7 Spring Cottages, Haverhill. William Hickford is a horse-keeper on a farm, and Jane is a coat machinist at a factory.
William Hickford's wife Jane was born in Withersfield. Jane Whiting's birthplace is supposedly Haverhill on the 1871 and 1881 censuses. But we do know from censuses, however, that Withersfield was the birthplace of Joseph, the next child born to Jesse and Ellen. There was a Withersfield connection from around the time when Jane was born. Terry Farrant, who has been researching the Hickfords can confirm that the Jane wife of William Hickford was indeed the daughter of Jesse and Ellen.
We see William and Jane living at Hall Field, Sturmer, on the 1911 census. Their occupations remain the same and as is the case on the previous census, they have no children.
It seems that Jane died in 1921 in the Risbridge district,(3) and was buried at Haverhill Cemetery.(4)
William appears as a widower and retired general labourer living with Mahala Mason, also a widow, in Roost End, Sturmer on the 1939 register. Here he is known by his birth name and his d.o.b is given as 1st November 1867 (7).
William died in 1943 and was also buried in Haverhill Cemetery.(5)

Author Name: D. M. S. Fick Novel: Lewis Sinclair and the Gentlemen Cowboys Genre: Traditional Mystery Release Date: Hardcover April 2023; Paperback April 2024 Website/Platform Name: dmsfick.com Contact Information: email@example.com
1. Can you give me a brief overview of your novel?
A missing brooch. A face set in cement. This is not your average music festival. Country artist Lewis Sinclair is on the brink of stardom when his girlfriend leaves him for his no account manager. When that manager is found dead with his face in cement, Lewis must clear his name before he's number one on the Top Suspects List instead of the charts.
2. What inspired you to write it?
I was at the Down from the Mountain concert of bluegrass artists who performed on the Oh Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack. I realized no one that I knew of had written a mystery that takes place at a music festival and that I was friends with someone who worked at a very successful one. She gave me a media pass to attend and what I experienced mixed with my imagination became the novel.
3. Tell me about the main characters in your book. What makes them unique or relatable?
The characters in my book form several found families. The camaraderie they share is infectious and carries the reader through the book with warmth, bravery, and amusement.
4. What themes or messages do you hope readers take away from your novel?
Be kind. You don't know what another human has experienced to bring them where they are. Music, food, and family (found or otherwise) are ways to strengthen ourselves to exist and flourish in this sometimes cruel world.
5. How did you approach the writing process for this book?
I used several stints of vacation time to write the majority of the first draft. I used contest and submission deadlines to keep me on task.
6. Do you have any writing rituals or habits that you follow?
If I'm stuck, I set up some kind of party with food and laughter in good company for my characters to take part in. It's fun to write and provides unexpected and fruitful plot twists.
7. Were there any challenges you faced while writing this novel? How did you overcome them?
Life gets in the way of creative expression. You have to make a living and that takes a lot of time and energy. I just stuck with it and eventually, whatever I could afford to give to my book paid off.
8. What advice do you have for aspiring authors who are working on their first book?
If it gives you joy to write, stick with it. It has to give you fulfillment because the process of getting published is a struggle. Seek information about publishing and writing and have a writer friend.
9. Can you share any upcoming projects or future plans in the world of writing and literature?
Another traditional mystery with the Gentlemen Cowboys is in the later stages of rewriting. I have a completed Women's Fiction novel I'm seeking a publisher for and am working on the first draft of a sequel to that book.
10. Is there a particular moment or review from a reader that stands out to you and made your journey as an author more meaningful?
The books editor of a major newspaper read an early version of Lewis Sinclair and liked it. Their encouragement kept me believing in my book through the downs and downs of the submission process.
11. If there's one thing you'd like your readers to remember about you and your work, what would it be?

About Alcoholism - Alcoholism Information, Research and Treatment
The Chicken or the Egg?
Like all neurotic processes and like all processes of organic illness, alcoholism consists of a long reverberating chain of progressive disturbances involving social, economic, and financial disruptions. By removing the alcohol itself, we can break a logjam and make a hitherto untreatable neurosis accessible to treatment, said Lawrence S. Kubie, MD, clinical professor of psychiatry, University of Maryland School of Medicine, and a well-known psychoanalyst. Each step in what Dr. Kubie calls a "reverberating chain reaction" produces new distortions with new symptoms and...

Center: A Village Level Investigation of the Grameen Bank, Lisa Young Larance,
PRPA Working Paper No 22. Across rural Bangladesh, non-governmental
organizations are offering poor women economic opportunities. Membership
in a microcredit institution, such as the Grameen Bank (GB) of Bangladesh,
offers women access to financial capital. Access to, and the impact of,
this financial capital have been widely researched. Equally important but
less explored is the impact institutional affiliation has on members' social
development. The author shows how meeting at GB's village-level loan repayment
building, "the center," enables women to build social capital beyond their
isolated kinship groups. Also, how GB membership promotes the formation
of social capital. More specifically, membership enables women to establish
individual identity, build group identity, and form new and strengthened

This project consists of two elements: a series of photographs and five narratives. Work on the project began in 1993 and ended in 2003.
The project is an investigation of different media and their role in constructing the 'truth.' The two elements of the project – photograph and narrative – simultaneously supplement and contradict each other. In this way, they enter into a dialogue.
The photographs are still images taken from international television news of everyday life in the city of Baghdad during the economic embargo. In many cases, for example, that of Iraq, television images are the only alternative we have for getting a 'picture' of the situation. They are presented to us as reality.
The photographs in the project are clearly identifiable as television images. In most cases, we see the logos of the television broadcasters and the running stock prices along the bottom of the image. A black stripe sometimes runs through the image as well. You have to look very closely if you want to find the 'truth'.
The narratives in the project also claim to be true. They are stories that the two authors were told by friends and acquaintances of the stories' protagonists. In contrast to the television images, which are presented in the garb of 'objective' reality, the stories recall the grotesque narrative subplots of A Thousand and One Nights.
In this exhibition, the television images are presented in the approximate size of a television screen (50X65 cm). Simultaneously, we hear the stories on a CD, which, borrowing from the tradition of Arabic fairy tales, are read in both Arabic and the native language of the exhibition location
Over the course of this ten-year project, I have also produced an artists' book. In its various editions, the book contains between 48 and 54 original photographs and four to five narratives. The form of the book itself is also a reflection on the issues addressed in the project: the golden lettering on the red velvet book cover contrasts with the book's binder format, which recalls the sober objectivity of new reports. Accommodating the different writing directions of Arabic and Latin languages, the book is organised in a circular manner. This means the book can viewed from front to back or from back to front. The contents of the book are organised in such a way that regardless of which direction we choose to approach the book, we first encounter the outskirts of Baghdad, before moving to images of the city and urban life, and then, in the middle of the book, to portraits. In this way, there are always two versions of the same book.
There are currently four editions of the book. The first was the German-Arabic edition, with four narratives and 48 photos. There is also a Spanish-Arabic edition, a Catalan-Arabic edition and a second German-Arabic edition with five narratives and 54 photos. All of the editions contain some of the same photographs, but each edition also includes photographs that are unique to it. Thus it is always the same book with different photographs. Yet despite the different photographs, all the editions focus on the same issues – they highlight the arbitrariness of the images shown on television.

EDMONTON, AB, Apr. 21, 2013/ Troy Media/ – Benjamin Franklin was a famous diplomat, scientist, writer, and Founding Father of the American Republic. He also knew a thing or two about money.
In 1729, at the age of 23, Franklin published a pamphlet in colonial Pennsylvania entitled, “A Modest Inquiry into the Nature and Necessity of a Paper Currency”. In it, he addressed three key monetary questions that are very seldom asked: what is money? Who should be entrusted to create money, and, what, if anything, should backstop money to support its value?

For the A to Z blogging challenge I’ve decided to blog about the 1940′s. And in the spirit of the 1940′s, at the end of the month, I’ll be giving away an ebook copy of one of my favorite books, Summer at Tiffany, to one of my newsletter subscribers (sign-up on the sidebar if you are so inclined.) It’s a light-hearted memoir of two college girls let loose in New York City for a summer. What a hoot
During most of WWII the United States barred large groups of refugees from entering the country. It wasn’t until the summer of 1944 when the war was nearing the end, that a “Safe Haven” was allowed at Fort Ontario in Oswago, New York. Only about a thousand refugees were chosen in Italy, most of them of Jewish descent, to make the special trip over. So few, when so many were in need.
They were housed at the empty fort, kept behind a barb-wire topped fence. Their status was a strange one–guests without Visas, not allowed to work or leave the area. At the end of the war, many of them were finally allowed to apply for immigrant status. Of those who stayed, many left their mark on America in amazing ways. You can read more about them in the book Haven: The Dramatic Story of 1,000 World War II Refugees and How They Came to America by Ruth Gruber. She was the one tasked with the job of sailing with the refugees and helping them make the transition to the shelter. Fascinating piece of history.


Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad releases CD album of a collection of Gopaldas Neeraj’s songs, sung by top IPS officer Alok Raj.
DS Bureau | New delhi
It was a befitting tribute to the immortal songs penned by the late poet Neeraj. The occasion was release of the CD album of a collection of Gopaldas Neeraj’s poems and songs, sung by Bihar’s ADGP (Law and Order) Alok Raj, titled Neeraj Key Geet by Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad at the Constitutional Club in New Delhi, along with several dignitaries attending an impressive event here on Saturday.
Former Union Minister Subodh Kant Sahay, MP Rajiv Shukla and the Chairman of the Press Council of India CK Prasad attended the event.
For Alok Raj, who had sung these songs and had plans to get the album released by the great poet himself, the sudden death of Neeraj had come as a great blow. The event was a real tribute to the Neeraj who made penned several songs for hit Bollywood films,
When India attained Independence, the great poet had said, the sky shall dance to the tunes composed by the earth. “…Jab dharti naghmey gayegee… woh subah kabhi to aayegee.”
Neeraj was more than just a poet who wrote songs, or just a patriot who wished to see his nation prosper or just a man who had been conferred the honor of Padam Bhushan. He was a firm believer in the equality of humankind, in freedom and in democracy and his contribution to the film world and Hindi literature and poetry has been enormous.
In fact his contribution had made him immortal. As Alok Raj so aptly put it,” … Jitna kam samaan rahega.. utna safar aasaan rahega…Neeraj to kal yahan na hoga.. uska geet vidhan rahega.”
The songs sung by this senior police officer transport you to another world and force you to close your eyes and see. And what do you see? You see exactly what Alok Raj in his tribute to the late poet wants you to see. You see and hear Neeraj in all his glory and all his power.
Neeraj is no more but as long as he will have admirers like Alok Raj, he will always be there, always around to inspire others who wish to follow in his footsteps. Always be there to entertain and always be there to share his special kind of patriotism and love for his art form with others who wish to partake in it.
As Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said, he had scheduled his programme to attend this function in the hope that he would get to meet Neeraj. However, now it would be possible to meet Neeraj only though his verse and his songs as God had willed otherwise.
Addressing the gathering, Prasad said the work of Neeraj needs to be preserved and promoted properly on a digital platform. MP Rajiv Shukla echoed the sentiment.
