But when Mae gasps awake…she’s on an airplane bound for Utah, where she begins the same holiday all over again. The next thing she knows, tires screech and metal collides, everything goes black. Mentally melting down as she drives away from the cabin for the final time, Mae throws out what she thinks is a simple plea to the universe: Please. She’s living with her parents, hates her going-nowhere job, and has just made a romantic error of epic proportions.īut perhaps worst of all, this is the last Christmas Mae will be at her favorite place in the world-the snowy Utah cabin where she and her family have spent every holiday since she was born, along with two other beloved families. It’s the most wonderful time of the year…but not for Maelyn Jones. One Christmas wish, two brothers, and a lifetime of hope are on the line for hapless Maelyn Jones in In a Holidaze, the quintessential holiday romantic novel by Christina Lauren, the New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners. His much-loved second novel, A Gentleman in Moscow(2016), incorporated nods toward the great Russian writers and shades of Eloise at the Plaza and Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel. Scott Fitzgerald and its title from George Washington's Rules of Civility & Decent Behaviour in Company and Conversation. His first novel, Rules of Civility (2011), set among social strivers in New York City in 1936, took its inspiration from F. Again, one of the ideas Towles explores is how evil can be offset by decency and kindness on any rung of the socio-economic ladder. Like his first two novels, The Lincoln Highway is elegantly constructed and compulsively readable. But hitch onto this delightful tour de force and you'll be pulled straight through to the end, helpless against the inventive exuberance of Towles' storytelling. If this book were set today, their constant detours and U-turns would send GPS into paroxysms of navigational recalculations. Amor Towles' new Great American Road Novel tails four boys - three 18-year-olds who met in a juvenile reformatory, plus a brainy 8-year-old - as they set out from Nebraska in June, 1954, in an old Studebaker in pursuit of a better future. The act of translation inexorably alters the intention of the author - whether it improves or detracts from the original. Likewise, I don't read much translated fiction. Short fiction (and you can't really call these short stories as the majority of the book is more a collection of vignettes) often leaves me with a feeling of anti-climax, as though I haven't really GOT it. I'm not a huge fan of short fiction - I generally prefer something longer that I can immerse myself into. I'm not sure what drew me to this collection. Plotting a constellation of singular, glittering images that are rendered nonetheless complete, this magnificent compilation intersects the paths of its characters, who are at once isolated in their individual pursuits and yet connected in the vast realm of dreams. Despite the desolation of their surroundings, the characters encounter strange company: ghostly presences in the early hours, enviable neighbors, and fellow writers with remarkably similar ambitions. A Boston ornithologist speeds through the landscape in a four-by-four chasing Arctic Terns a schoolboy is relocated to the northernmost town of Siglufjördur to compete in a chess tournament and a husband packs his wife off to visit her aunt in Sweden. Along the lonely western shores of Iceland, among its vast mountain ranges and its barren lava fields, this sublime collection of short stories blends the desires and efforts of its numerous protagonists, nearly all intent on taking leave of their normal lives in order to pursue their dreams more seriously. Aaron Klein is a senior fellow in economic studies at the Brookings Institution.ĪARON KLEIN: The home loan bank system has one of the great business models of society. But in 1989, the system was opened up to commercial banks and credit unions. WONG: At first, membership in the system was limited to financial institutions that provided mortgages. WOODS: And the Federal Home Loan Bank System has been playing this role since 1932. That money goes towards helping banks that might be struggling with declining deposits or liquidity issues. WAILIN WONG, BYLINE: They provide funding to other banks in the form of loans. Darian Woods and Wailin Wong from our daily economics podcast, The Indicator, explain how this 90-year-old piece of financial architecture works and why it might need an update.ĭARIAN WOODS, BYLINE: If you're not working in the banking or housing industries, you might not ever have heard of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. All of them, including First Republic, borrowed money from Federal Home Loan Banks before their demise. We've seen some high-profile bank failures this year. This discloses a perspective on the role of SR in enabling both social domination and transformation (4). We then go on to show how SR thus conceived can help explicate its role in the production of persons, the maintenance of social groups and even in the reproduction of society (3). We sketch out an account of SR that hinges on Dewey’s concept of habituation, which can be characterized as a spiral of second and first nature (2). To this aim, we introduce Dewey’s social ontology. We will start by outlining the current feminist debates around SR and showing where and to what extent this fundamental notion is left in need of further conceptualization (1). Habit is a leading concept in Dewey’s social ontology, whose basic problem is precisely, we argue, to explain the more or less creative and transformative reproduction of social phenomena. We intend to contribute to a theory of SR by reconstructing and drawing upon John Dewey’s habit ontology. I did write a 'counter-blast' essay based on the premiss that Marx could not be criticised within the paradigm of 'liberal thinking' - ie. I didn't want to agree with his arguments but I couldn't help but admire them! The book was beautifully written, incredibly accessible to the lay-reader ( a big plus for me, have you ever tried reading Jurgen Haabermas?!?), cogently and tightly argued. I couldn't! I got my hands on a pristine copy from the university bookshop ( I still have it, though it's now well-thumbed!) and I spent a week reading it, taking notes and desperately trying to think of counter-arguments. So I wanted to hate it, rubbish it, show it up as the propaganda of the 'running dogs of capitalism'! I was a committed socialist with anarchist leanings (a huge dichotomy there which I didn't see at the time!) and deeply in thrall to Marx, Marxism, Marxists and Marxians. I came to the book with preconceptions - Nozick was neo-liberal and Hayekian. It is really only know, at the age of 44, that I realise quite how much Bob Nozick's master-work has shaped my thinking on the state, politics and society over the past 22 years. This book had a huge impact on me when I read it at the age of 22 as a post-grad student of political philosophy. Passion like that eclipse, like the painting, the kind that makes a woman want to jump into the bath with a man after a sweaty day.” “See, the sun and the moon are converging. This painting is about an eclipse.” Ethel pulled her granddaughter close. Lena threaded her fingers through Ethel’s. “After all this time, another minute won’t hurt.” If only she could smoke inside. Her curls were dripping, and the dress she’d spent so much time choosing was splotched with rain. A sun and a moon hung together in a sky ignited by shades of orange. The oversize canvas once served as the backdrop for a ballet, a Russian Romeo and Juliet, and Ethel had studied it so many times she didn’t need to look to see its brilliance. Ethel Zane stood next to her granddaughter, Lena, in the museum’s rotunda and tried to catch her breath by pretending to examine the painting in front of them.
