Reviewed by: Breaking Boundaries: The Science of Our Planet by Johan Rockström & Owen Gaffney Anna Paterson Johan Rockström & Owen Gaffney Breaking Boundaries: The Science of Our Planet London. DK. 2021. 227 pages. WHY SHOULD JUST this book on climate change science and preemptive policies merit a review in a literature magazine?

Equally fascinating are the texts following the poems—where we also get a glimpse into the surprising complexity of translation approaches employed across this map of this endangered poetic world. For example, the Tamajaght poetry quoted above is a third cousin to the original— first transcribed by the poet, Hawad, from Tamajaght into a graphic illustrated version , rendering the poetry using a modified Tifinagh alphabet with added vowels; then i…

The narrative follows Paul’s diary entries detailing the birds he encounters, illustrations of these creat…

Christine Eber has written a striking novel that reflects these challenges as well as underscoring the wisdom of Maya culture, which has allowed its people to survive thousands of years under difficult conditions. Her compelling narrative not only shows why these people deserve our respect but moves the reader greatly. Brenda Rosenbaum Mayan…

of apparent heterogeneity. Cuban culture, in other words, was not a whole made of seemingly disparate parts but rather the parts themselves, each one distinct while also unique in substance and flavor. I mention this otherwise incidental detail by way of introduction to my review of Cuba on the Verge: 12 Writers on Continuity and Change in Havana and across the Country, a ragbag of twelve essays that form an almost perfect ajiaco of twentyfirst -…

Hilde Østby & Ylva Østby Adventures in Memory: The Science and Secrets of Remembering and Forgetting Trans. Marianne Lindvall. Vancouver. Greystone Books. 2018. 312 pages. It sounds like a lovely pastime, diving to observe sweetly absurd-looking seahorses (genus Hippocampus), but what is its relevance to a book about memory? For this is indeed a wide-ranging book about how we remember past experiences and so also can predict the likelihood of fut…

Romani girls. He also has one foredoomed crush on a blond Hungarian fellow student who is the daughter of a local aristocrat. She is far beyond his reach, but she capriciously manages to save his life when the Hungarian students drown the only other Romani student in the school outhouse. The story ends when the Germans invade Hungary. Soldiers surround “Gypsy Paris” and prepare the inhabitants for transport. As the train pulls out of the station …

What may be most important about this novel is the fact that it further ties Kundera to the French language. In fact, I suggest that readers take Slowness, Identity, Ignorance , and The Festival of Insignificance as parts of one longer narrative that is decidedly French or, more accurately, explores the condition of the exile in France. With these novels we get snapshots of the European writer in exile and his perception of a post-Communist world…

In other words, nothing much is a surprise and the accomplishment of this manages to require over four hundred pages. Part of the reason for this is that the characters, as they often do on the boob tube, repeat details of the crime to each other as if…
