Excerpt From James Loves Ruth (Novel in Progress)
Excerpt From James Loves Ruth (Novel in Progress) Jacinda Townsend (bio) XXIII. James James sat slumped in his chair, watching Trevor Noah yet terrifically aware of his own wandering thoughts. Enix had come back taller—not physically, but emotionally. His only child had taken their first day back with him and chosen to dash it against the rocks of a school dance. With Enix gone, he kept reliving the words to Goodnight, Moon. Goodnight room, he th…

From James Loves Ruth
from JAMES LOVES RUTH Jacinda Townsend (bio) 1981 “Absolutely not,” Ruth’s mother said, without conviction. No one else stood at the top of the stairs, where she and Ruth had met accidentally on their way between floors, but she wasn’t talking to Ruth. She was just saying it, as she did on order of thirty times a week now that Russell was dead. “Absolutely not,” she’d say in response to nothing, as she was folding laundry, or stacking china, or s…

April 2007: Essaouira, Marrakech, Casablanca Jacinda Townsend (bio) You didn’t grieve your son’s death, not for one full year, because you didn’t realize that he was dead. You went to the burial, you tucked your head into Driss’s shoulder and wept, but it wasn’t a weeping for the loss of your son, because at any moment your son was going to come running back through the front door of your house saying Oumi I want a drink of water. You were weepin…

From Bonsoir, Lune
from Bonsoir, Lune Jacinda Townsend (bio) Al-Maghreb, 2004 In Tazanakht, where the caravan stopped, she found a large, kind family of goat farmers who needed help butchering. They were Amizagh, could not communicate with her, and did not try. They spoke encouragement to her in their own language, and when she at last sliced cleanly through a tendon with a single stroke of the blade, gave her a chorus of approval. The language, she didn’t understa…
