The narrator starts with a concern at the clash of ideas on Earth and finds analogies to both communism and fascism among the aliens he visits. It tackles philosophical themes such as the essence of life, of birth, decay and death, and the relationship between creation and creator, and it succeeds in evoking a sense of the sheer scale and complexity of the cosmos.

Through swirling, perpendicular narratives, A Country for Dying follows the inner lives of emigrants as they contend with the space between their dreams and their realities, a schism of a postcolonial world where, as Taïa writes, "So many people find themselves in the same situation. Meanwhile, Allal, Zahira's first love back in Morocco, travels to Paris to find Zahira. Mojtaba is a gay Iranian revolutionary who, having fled to Paris, seeks refuge with Zahira for the month of Ramadan. Zannouba, Zahira's friend and protege, formerly known as Aziz, prepares for gender confirmation surgery and reflects on the reoccuring trauma of loss, including the loss of her pre-transition male persona. With terse, biting prose beautifully translated from French by Emma Ramadan, it is a startlingly topical.

This always seemed to me like a librarian's bad joke. What makes a writer a "children's book writer"? This is a deep question, much deeper in fact than asking what makes a "children's book." Those of us who have worked our way through David Macaulay's best-selling "information books," which account for 3.5 million of his 4 million sales, have often puzzled over the Library of Congress Cataloguing in Publication Data that classifies these books as "juvenile literature." Building the cathedral of Amiens, the pyramid of Cheops, Pompeii, a Welsh castle, a Spanish Renaissance caravel, an Ottoman mosque, a nineteenth-century New England mill, or a twentieth century skyscraper is surely not child's play. ![]() ![]() ![]() Limited 1 for 10 Retailer Incentive Variant Cover.

MJ learned that a flock of chickens had almost the same range of personalities that could be found in a classroom, from the quiet, shy chicken to the big bully. ![]() One grandmother had a small backyard flock and the other grandmother and two bachelor uncles had a large farm that supplied eggs to half of Long Island. Summer visits to both of MJ’s grandmothers led to her fascination with chickens. They produced these extravaganzas in Noreen’s garage and organized the neighborhood boys into a sales force to sell tickets and refreshments.
