The snow had finally rotted away, winter rushing through the gutters and gurgling down the drains. A couple of the men were smoking, coaxing a last puff from their burnt-down cigarettes, holding each breath until their eyes bulged. The Mission opened its doors to the city’s jobless, the street people, the panhandlers, the squeegee kids, the homeless ones, although once, when Annunciata had wondered aloud at these poor doorstep ghosts, the Senior Admin. had corrected her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“We don’t say homeless here, Anna.

Annunciata thought that perhaps he was secretive about his name because it was the only thing he owned. On the other hand, maybe he’d just forgotten it—drink did that to a fellow, and crack, and the dog-eyed loneliness that eats its own paws. His eyes were yellowish and his few remaining teeth were grayish. He never smiled and seldom spoke, but when he was hungry he rapped out a shave and a shoeshine on the metal shutters of the kitchen window, and when he was feeling perky he did a soft shoe shuffle in the dust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnnunciata stopped to watch and applaud. “Bravo!” she clapped.

She meant the miracle of the Lord’s birth which, if she was an angel, Annunciata would have been in charge of.

Together these factors defined the liberal international order and sustained an era of rising global prosperity and declining international conflict.

Characters search for absolution, miss, struggle for, and sometimes make their connections. We root for their negotiations of the morbid topography of change. The harshness and magnificence of That Tiny Life is seen through a lens intensely magnified by the brevity and transience of existence. Anyone interested in the human condition will appreciate this book.","OtherText_Accolades_2_Src":"Yasuko Thanh, author of Mysterious Fragrance of the Yellow Mountains","OtherText_Accolades_3":"Readers of this extraordinary collection will be taken by the scope and range of the stories. By the precision of craft and visceral detail. The true inhabiting of bodies, in the characters, the creatures, and also in the natural world as a body beyond. But what truly separates Fisher’s prose is the heart, the blood, the guts, the all of it, that drive this book, as a body. It seems so distinct in parts, but runs together with a singular, unifying force that very few writers could muster. It is a collection that thrums with that undeniable heart and energy, no matter where the stories land or lead.","OtherText_Accolades_3_Auth":"Kevin Hardcastle, author of In the Cage","OtherText_Back_cover_copy_0":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA STRIKINGLY ACCOMPLISHED DEBUT COLLECTION FROM AN AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR:\u003c\\\/strong\u003e\u003c\\\/p\u003e\\r\\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eErin Frances Fisher has won numerous awards for her short fiction, including the RBC Writers’ Trust of Canada Bronwen Wallace Emerging Writers Award.

He runs his forefinger along the tourniquet around Roy’s leg, rubs the pus between his fingertips and thumb, sniffs the lot, and says he’s taking Roy’s leg.\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Like shit you are,” I say. “What’s he left with it gone?”\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sawbones pushes his specs up his disjointed nose and says that if he leaves the leg attached, Roy’ll be gone. Roy’s girl, just three, explores her mouth with her fingers. Her eyes big and gold as coins. She squats in the dirt in front of some thorny shrubs, a whelp in piss-stained trousers, the night growing fathomless above the hills behind her.\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGirl’s new with us. Roy fetched her from the mother less than a week back. Don’t know why he picked her up when he did, since, one, he knew the child’s age from the letter, and two, he already had that crushed toe sending stripes up his foot.\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sawbones’ specs shine flat-lensed in the light from the firepit. I suspect they don’t so much alter his vision as give him a look. He bends over Roy, who’s laid flaccid under the cactus. Roy’s hair and skin and clothes are tacky with basin dust. The firelight blinks over his silhouette, pretties his discoloured leg and cracked lips. His cocky flip of curls thrown back from his ridged nose and cheeks and spread over the dirt. His eyes closed. Been passed out a while. I grab his good foot and jostle and release.\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Might go anyway,” I say.\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sawbones rocks on his haunches, eyeing the mule I promised him for the trip. One of a pair. Sorrel, sturdy—three hands short of draft—and recently acquired, though Roy and I have been hauling supplies through the valley good on seven years. That’s seven years of spiny fruit and sunburn while carting basics to men batshit enough to have settled this particular desolation. Brutes searching gold, coal, oil midst the saltbush and boulders. The work gives Roy and me a nice, healthful pay, but only because not many want the job. Heat’s hard on the mules and water takes up half the wagon.\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe girl pulls her fingers from her mouth and wipes them across her shirt. Sawbones removes his specs, holds the lenses to the light, then plucks his hanky from his coat and polishes. His kerchief’s done-up old style—stitched around the trim with cream dashes—same era as the jacket, which has buttons top to bottom, but hangs wide open. Plush fabric, carpet-like, worn thin down the back. Like he’s spent his life sitting. He settles his specs back on that crooked nose and loops the wires around his ears.\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoy, flat-out, chest hardly lifting each breath. I put a hand on my lips and jaw. All the grit there, in the lines and loose skin—the valley sucks away fat. Seems to have aged twenty years though it’s only been those seven, and we were both young men when we acquired the route. He and I been partners too long now to know who owes who—though I suspect at this moment it’s him who owes me. We have a friendship. Which is why I said nothing when Roy kept the girl.\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI recline against the wagon and set a knuckle to the forehead of the nearest mule, and the mule leans into it. Soft-nosed beast. “Take the leg then,” I say.\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSawbones opens his satchel and reaches out a pan, a leather roll, and a hard-cased cautery set. Kicks the logs and exposes the coals and balances the pan. Unsnaps the cautery case and sets the long-handled irons into the fire.\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Water,” he says.\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI uncap a jug and fill the pan. The sawbones fiddles with the knot and unrolls the leather wrap. Tools inside flash blade to spine: tongs, scissors, various knives. He thumbs the clasp on a worn medical bag. Vials strapped to the underside of the lid. The interior’s full of glass flasks and spools of silk and gauze. He tips a vial of iodine into the pan, then opens a jar of alcohol. Wipes down each blade with a soaked bit of cotton and sets the equipment ready on top the leather sheath.\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSawbones removes and folds his coat and lays it on the bow of the wagon. He steps to Roy’s side and snips the torn pant leg. Twice the normal size below the knee, and two of the black toes sport open sores.\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Lift.” Sawbones waves at the foot. I lift. He slides a sheet of oilskin under the thigh. “Down.” He and I loop rope around Roy’s wrists and good ankle, then tie the rope onto stakes and pound the stakes into the dirt. Sawbones pulls a cotton swab from the bag and wipes Roy’s leg.\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“That high,” I say. “Christ almighty.”\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Sit on him.” Sawbones tests the tourniquet already around Roy’s upper thigh. I take my spot kneeling on Roy’s shoulders, and the girl comes up beside me. Kid’s already kicked off and lost her shoes and stands barefoot in the cooling sand. \u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Turn round,” I say, and when she won’t, I grab her.

{"id":6813803511867,"title":"Stereoblind","handle":"stereoblind","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLaunching off from subjects as varied as Tinder and animal testing, Emma Healey’s provocative collection of prose poems explores the urgent themes of feminism, mental illness, sexuality, artistic practice, alienation, connection, technology, and time.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eStereoblind\u003c\/i\u003e, no single thing is ever perceived in just one way.

The drive towards inclusion over exclusion is essential to creating healthy, diverse societies in an era of rapid social change.\u003c\/p\u003e","EAN":"9781487005276","excerpt_0":"https:\/\/biblioshare.org\/BNCservices\/BNCServices.asmx\/Samples?token=fcf85c1c1b298e99\u0026amp;ean=9781487005276\u0026amp;SAN=\u0026amp;Perspective=excerpt\u0026amp;FileNumber=0","Height":"8","HeightCode":"in","Imprint":"House of Anansi Press","MetaKeywords":"debate transcript; munk debate; current events; politically correct; PC; first ammendment; marginalization; political science; poli sci; interviews; is american democracy in crisis; has obama made the world a more dangerous place?; is this the end of the liberal international order; 12 rules for life","NumberOfPages":"128","OtherText_Back_cover_copy_0":"\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eStephen Fry will be a particular draw for readers, and Jordan Peterson’s \u003cem\u003e12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chao\u003c\/em\u003es has quickly become a bestseller.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for the institutional market and those interest in current events and politics.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","OtherText_Long_description_1":"\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eStephen Fry will be a particular draw for readers, and Jordan Peterson’s \u003cem\u003e12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chao\u003c\/em\u003es has quickly become a bestseller.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for the institutional market and those interest in current events and politics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","OtherText_Previous_review_q_0":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREVIEW COPIES\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eBooklist\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","OtherText_ShortDescription_0":"The twenty-second semi-annual Munk Debate discusses the implications of political correctness and freedom of speech.","ProductFormDescription":"mobi","PublicationDate":"2018-11-06","Publisher":"House of Anansi Press Inc","Series":"The Munk Debates","ShortDescription":"The twenty-second semi-annual Munk Debate discusses the implications of political correctness and freedom of speech.","Subtitle":"The Munk Debates","Width":"5","WidthCode":"in"}

Anything could be an ambush. Two men, arm in arm, were strolling along. As he watched them, they were greeted by friends coming out of a doorway. Not assassins, then. To his knowledge, when the Men in Black were sent on a mission they never gave up until it was accomplished. So, yes, they would return.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHe took a gondola to well beyond the Rialto Bridge, and got off, walked down an alleyway, then doubled back, and, followed another alleyway — a calle — this one parallel to the Grand Canal — until he came to the mansion that was the home of the famous courtesan.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt was an old and distinguished-looking building. Candles burned in the windows. He turned into a side alley and walked down it until he came to a door. A single small lamp, a votive offering to the Virgin Mary, burned over the entrance. A tall broad-shouldered man stood next to the door. He looked Danilo up and down and nodded. Danilo entered and went up a narrow wooden staircase, and when he stepped through a door he found himself on a large landing with a marble balustrade, large windows overlooking the Grand Canal, tapestries, and marble flooring. Everything was sparkling and impeccable, as if the whole setting had been installed only that morning. Several fashionable Venetian youths were hanging about on the landing gossiping and laughing but they did not bother with him, only giving him a cursory glance and then returning to their skittish talk.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA very pretty, very young maidservant, in a tight bodice with a flared skirt, was coming up the stairs; she nodded at Danilo, held his gaze, and whispered, “Follow me, sir!” She led him further up the broad torch-lit staircase to the second floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen they entered the main salon, Danilo was dazzled by the sumptuous carpets, the tapestries, the paintings, the gold and silver, the opulent furniture, the gilded mirrors.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“Ah, here you are!” An elegant young woman turned away from the window and greeted him as if they were old friends. She was perhaps twenty-two or twenty-three. Her manners, self-assurance, and sophistication made her seem older; the freshness of her beauty made her seem younger. She was standing by a tall window that looked over the canal. Her red hair tumbled freely down her bare shoulders, her breasts barely concealed, her long robe open along one side, exposing a length of perfect leg, sparkling white, in silk. She looked at him with an amused, calculating expression.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“You are a handsome fellow, my friend. So, we are to work together.”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDanilo bowed. “Madam.” \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“And gallant, too!” She favored him with the brightest of smiles. “I am indeed pleased. My name is Veronica Libero. My work is to give pleasure — sensual, sexual, intellectual, and cultural. The quality of the conversation is essential. People must relax. They must feel free to express themselves. My clientele is varied — but on the whole, it consists, with a few necessary and unfortunate exceptions, of the very best of society. Many of Venice’s leaders are my friends. I do use the word ‘friend’ with caution. But I think I can say that. So, among the clientele who frequent my little abode, there are also foreigners, German merchants, people who deal with Charles V, some ecclesiastical figures who visit Venice from time to time, several Frenchmen who are close to the Court of François I, and of course Turks and Persians and Arabs.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Yes, I see.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Now, some of these gentlemen speak languages I don’t understand; we would like very much to know what they are saying, what they are talking about. I understand you speak Turkish, Persian, and Arabic.”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“Yes, madam, I do.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Call me Veronica, please.” Her eyes sparkled in merriment. “And who shall you be? Let’s invent someone, shall we? You are … Daniel del Monte!” For her, Danilo realized, life was a game.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe bowed. Now he had three names: David, Daniel, and Danilo. He felt, somehow, that he should kiss her hand. She moved with the fluid ease, casualness, and feigned intimacy of royalty.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“In a few minutes, the visitors will arrive. I will entertain them — as will some of my friends and colleagues.

I do apologize for the indignity of it, but you will be stowed away here, in this closed little alcove.” She pressed against a small decorative detail, and pulled it aside. A door — up to that point invisible — opened and Danilo saw what looked like a padded closet, or perhaps an invisible corridor running parallel to the wall of the salon. A whiff of stale air wafted out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“I have put in a stool to make it more comfortable.” Veronica turned to him. “You have a good memory, I hope.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“I believe it is fairly good — ah, Veronica.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Would you like a glass of wine?”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“I shall abstain, thank you.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Very wise, Daniel, a clear head is essential in this business. Venice is like the Virgin Mary or, if you prefer classical allusions, she is like Aphrodite freshly risen from the sea. She is a gallant lady and she needs to be protected.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Venice has many enemies.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Yes, and many jealousies. Venice is rich and Venice is a republic, Venice is small, and she belongs to all of us. She has been around a long time — a thousand years at least — and so she deserves our care and solicitude.” She smiled. Her perfume — a heady mixture of jasmine and rose — made Danilo dizzy. The lamps sparkled off the gilt and silver and glass.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVeronica put her hand on Danilo’s shoulder, and gazed straight into his eyes. “I must warn you, my dear Daniel. One of our guests is of a particularly violent temperament.

He must not discover our little game. Even if there is trouble, you are not to intervene. Julian will take care of it.” She nodded towards a tall broad-shouldered man who had been standing against one wall. The man nodded at Danilo. Veronica smiled. “Silence is essential.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Certainly.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Here, now I shall lock you in.
