Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Chris Abani’s poetry resonates with a devastating beauty which cuts through to the heart of human strength.”—Pride Hands Washing Water is Chris Abani's fourth poetry collection—a mischievous book of displacement, exile, ancestry, and subversive humor. The central section, “Buffalo Women,” is a Civil War correspondence between lovers that plays on our assumptions about war, gender, morality, and politics. Sweetest Henri, I know we promised to be honest, one to the other, but your recent missive, though welcome as any epistle from you, filled me with a dread that clung like dampness to wet wood. I am terrified for your immortal soul, dear sweet Henri. This mad war of Lincoln is infecting you with a sickness too depraved to even address. . . Abani’s writing is ruthless, at times traumatic, and consistently filled with surprising twists and turns.

Book excerpt: When people do not want to be identified , it mean the complication for others around them at that moment to know who they are , but then there must be reasons behind the statement and when such statement can stand on a visual action , as in the case of the title and cover pictures of this book , ( front and back ) which could mean a confirmation of it and that the horizon of the same can expand in that direction till the writers limit . The first motive is that psychological fear that their informations will be distorted for another use . It may also be due to the acceptance of a giulty conscience , that originated from some failure in self engagements , even in the absence of blames from others . Secondly , at accusations with or without arrest at other occasions , that may have conditioned them to that manner , while there are also the mystery type that occur due to their heavenly / holy origine by supernatural being . The last , by ignorance , shy or to shun the others , since they feel that the public value them more than every other one that exist . At the same time , themselves did not remember again that at those occasions , they stand for essentials and any bad comportment will evaluate , likewise the good ones . As they are useful in some ways , that was why the phenomenon started and on each relevant point , there will be an example of it where possible . However , as you go through the book , you will observe that the girl on the front page Chwdi , really picked a boyfriend , called Zimz, who was not aware of the fact, because she reported to have had impediment , embarrassment and trouble on the telephone number given to her by him , for a period of two years , by another lady , known as Mrphngi , a neighbour to Zimz , who initially agreed to share her fixed phone in the apartment with him . But at the beginning of the report , the lady denied the reality of such issue on the telephone , not withstanding that a post card was published to that effect. Eventually, the lady got unmask and successively confess the truth , as there was also another testimony in fovour of the impediment and embarrassment that Chwdi had by then . The lady did plead to remain unknown over what she has done or said on the issue, as she regret most of the actions that she had already taken . When Chwdi paved her way to Zimz , then wanted to settle down with him in a haste , but that failed as he discovered some faults that concern her , for example , unfaithfulness . These and other facts , made her not to give a face identification , when the boyfriend requested it through the use of a photographic camera and even intentionally declare that she does not want to be identified in whatever they are doing , because her objectives have failed . At the same time she was useful with her love , visits and informations , but latter quit from the relationship that she established with him . When Mrphongi heard about her final departure from Zimzs room , she tried to entice him into love making at 02, 00 after midnight , while expressing envy about Chwdi , but was rejected by him and she revenge with the request that he vacate the room he occupied in the apartment . At any time people commit some acts while covering face and if they are caught by law , due to its illegality and they still cover face at trial , it could mean that they dont want to be identified by others around them at that occasion . It happened also that the hour mentioned above , did coincided in the past, in which Zimz sighted a ghost while going to the stream to fetch water , as could be seen at the back page of the book . The four names widely in use on this book are from Ibo language and have meaning , for example: Chwdi, mean ( search for husband ) ; and so on , without the names , the book could not go well . From the same book ,it was noted that Zimz on some occasions was injured by his second senior b

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ultimate collection of stories by 'one of the great short-story writers of our time' (Michael Ondaatje) 'Gallant is funny, exacting and stern - in fact, an old fashioned moralist ... luminescent, subtle and lasting, Gallant's chronicles of internal and external exile are a fitting tribute to a diasporic century' Guardian 'Stories are not chapters of novels. They should not be read one after another, as if they were meant to follow along. Read one. Shut the book. Read something else. Come back later. Stories can wait' Mavis Gallant In 1950, THE NEW YORKER accepted one of Mavis Gallant's short stories for publication and she has since become the one of the most accomplished and respected short story writers of her time. Gallant is an undisputed master whose peerless prose captures the range of human experience in her sweeping portraits set in Europe in the second half of the last century. An expatriate herself, her stories deal with exile, displacement, of love and of estranged emotions, but they are never conventional. This collection of fifty-two stories, written between 1953 and 1995, is timeless, to be savoured and re-read.
