My grandparents on my mother's side of the family had a small flock of chickens, too, and so did our next-door neighbors in the city of Rochester. Since I was an only child, and my bachelor uncles didn't have any children, my only playmates were the chickens. We spent two weeks on the farm every summer. My Grandma Springer, Uncle Ray, and Uncle Bill had a big chicken farm on Long Island, NY. I filled dozens of notebooks with my illustrated stories.

My mother, Hattie Stanley Springer, had been a second grade teacher and made sure there were always plenty of books in the house. Books were a part of my life from a very early age. She reveals the obstacles and stereotyping she's had to overcome to make herself heard, in a society that doesn't think women (especially fat women and feminists) are or can be funny. In Shrill, Lindy recounts how she went from being the butt of people's jokes, to telling her own brand of jokes - ones that carry with them with a serious message and aren't at someone else's expense. Fortunately for women everywhere, along the road she found her voice - and how she found it! That cripplingly shy girl who refused to make a sound, somehow grew up to be one of the loudest, shrillest, most fearless feminazis on the internet, making a living standing up for what's right instead of what's cool. It's difficult to believe she was once a nerdy, overweight teen who wanted nothing more than to be invisible. Guardian columnist Lindy West wasn't always loud. We're supposed to spend our lives passive, quiet and hungry. 'Women are told, from birth, that it's our job to be small: physically small, small in our presence, and small in our impact on the world.

I've been reading science fiction a very long time - something like 48 years if my math is right - and one of my favorite authors back in the day was Clifford D. This is a story about good people taking on literally world-changing problems, in a quiet, pastoral setting. Enoch, Ulysses, and Enoch's few human friends, the mailman Winslowe, the deaf-mute neighbor girl Lucy Fisher, and a new arrival in his life, CIA agent Claude Lewis, have some very knotty problems to work through in very little time. That description may make it seem strange that this is a very gentle book, quietly moving rather than brimming with action and excitement. A century later, he's still running it, and hasn't aged a day.Īnd stresses are appearing in galactic civilization, even as Earth appears to be sliding toward a third and more terrible world war. Ulysses-the name Enoch gives him, suitable to the human tongue-is an emissary from Galactic Central, here to recruit Enoch to operate a way station for galactic travelers. Then, after some grieving and meditation on what the future might hold, he receives a most unusual visitor-a traveler from further away than he could have imagined. Enoch Wallace returned to his family's farm after the Civil War, and farmed it with his father until a freak accident left him alone on it.

While the occasion sounds somber, it is actually one of love, celebration, and feasts. The goal of these acts is to entice their relatives’ spirits to visit, as it is believed that spirits come back to the living world on those days. People visit and clean their relatives’ gravesites at cemeteries build altars (or ofrendas) with pictures and mementos of their loved ones and prepare foods that were favored by the deceased. Dia de los Muertos, or day of the dead, is a celebration that started with the Aztecs of Mexico and is still observed in Mexico and throughout Latin America, as well as in the United States.įor Dia, which lasts from October 31 until November 2, families come together to remember the deceased.

Those plants that interested the young man so much -data, psilocybe, peyote- were key tools in his learning, based (if we read the 10 field notebooks he wrote between 19) in the weakening of his rational side in favor of a more sensitive to its intuitive side. Several visits from Castaneda to Don Juan (who lived in the Mexican desert of Sonora) crystallized in a deep friendship, and this, some time later, in a student-teacher relationship. In that station, the first meeting between the young man was going to take place, Carlos Castaneda, and an old Indian of the Yaqui Mexican ethnicity who would turn out to be a deep connoisseur of the properties of the plants and fungi of the region It could be called -all this is legend- Juan Matus. It was the summer of 1960 and a student of Latin American anthropology-Cajamarca, Peru, although recently nationalized American-was traveling on a bus from the company Greyhound a journey from Los Angeles and destination in Nogales, in the Arizona desert.
