“Clearly, the notion of disappointment is not to be understood in the usual sense …” Clearly! The lecture courses are NOT disappointing, in the usual sense. #KateBriggs24

Helen introduces herself as if for the first time... as a way of seeing through this project: her own logic, enthusiasm; her private rationale and sense of broader purpose to doing what, if it were not for the baby, she'd have no cause to be doing." #katebriggs24

NBCC members, this is your chance! If you’re interested in what it means to be a member, let me know. We have a lot of cool opportunities coming up.

From the archive for Tezer Özlü #BornOnThisDay in 1943, my thoughts on COLD NIGHTS OF CHILDHOOD (tr Maureen Freely) This evocative portrayal of a young woman's fractured inner world is a striking rediscovered gem of Turkish literature. Highly recommended! jacquiwine.wordpress.com/2023/08/13/col…

Wonderful news!

We’d love to see you. Make sure to register and do share with all interested parties.
