In Rebecca Sacks Jerusalem, lives intersect and clash – The Forward

By Rebecca Sacks Harper, 384 pages, $27.99 As her epigraph suggests, Rebecca Sacks’ lovely debut novel, “City of a Thousand Gates,” concerns the impact of “the high drama of history” on individual lives. The phrase is drawn from Robert Musil’s philosophical novel, “The Man Without Qualities.” Here the lives are those of assorted, mostly sympathetic Israelis and Palestinians, along with their romantic partners, friends and relatives. And the high drama is the struggle over statehood, territory, recognition, and rights that pits nationality against nationality, and neighbor against neighbor. The panoramic ambition, scope and complexity of “City of a Thousand Gates” is embodied in its “Cast of Characters” – 32 in all, in nine distinct groupings. The third-person narration offers a mosaic of perspectives, shifting fluidly, but without much change in voice or style, from character to character.

Let s bring the nation with us

Letâs bring the nation with us January 23, 2021 â 12.05am Save Normal text size Credit: Stop the nonsense and call Australia Day âAustralians Dayâ. Give us all an opportunity to celebrate the fact that we all live in the best country in the world. It is a fact that Aboriginal people were the first in our country, non-Aborigines developed it and migrants gave it a wonderful multicultural flavour. John Langrehr, Leabrook (SA) I despair that our government simply does not comprehend the massive insult the current Australia Day âcelebrationâ drives into the heart of our Indigenous brothers and sisters â year after year. It is beyond my comprehension that we have not fixed this appalling, continual reminder of the hurts inflicted. On January 26 I will mourn, not celebrate, the past.

Why I Don t Like Fiction

(Image by StockSnap from Pixabay) [Note: This old “Spengler” essay disappeared from the old Asia Times servers. For no other reason than annoyance over a New Yorker feature on Virginia Wolff, I repost it here]. One Sunday morning years ago I was walking across Mexico City’s zócalo, the grand square abutting the cathedral and the presidential palace. Street vendors swarm there until the cops roust them. A middle-aged man in a grey windbreaker had opened a box of blue-covered paperback edition of the Mexican Constitution, the kind that’s given free to schools and trade unions. “Buy the Mexican Constitution!” he cried. “Sorry,” I told him. “I don’t like fiction.”
