Title: Bloodsmoor Romance

Author: Joyce Carol Oates

Narrator: Tavia Gilbert

Format: Unabridged

Length: 29:00:40

Language: English

Release date: 04-28-20

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Historical Fiction, Literary Fiction

Summary:

Finally returned to print in a beautiful new trade paperback edition, comes Joyce Carol Oates lost classic: a satirical, often surreal, and beautifully plotted Gothic Romance that follows the exploits of the audacious Zinn sisters, whose 19th century pursuit of adventurous lives turns a lens on contemporary American culture.

Set in a nineteenth century similar to our own, A Bloodsmoor Romance follows the beautiful Zinn sisters, five young women who refusefor the most partthe obligations of Christian marriage.

Full of Oatess mordant wit and breathlessly told in the Victorian style by an unnamed narrator shocked by the Zinn sisters sexuality, impulsivity, and rude rejection of the mores of their time, A Bloodsmoor Romance is a delicious filigree of literary conventions, a novel of manners in the tradition of Austen, Dickens, and Alcott which Oates turns on its head.

Oatess dark romp interweaves murder and mayhem, ghosts, and abductions, substance abuse and gender identity, womens suffrage, the American spiritualist movement, and sexual aberration, as the Zinn sisters come into contact with some of the 19th centurys greatest characters, from Mark Twain to Oscar Wilde.

A biting assessment of the American landscape and a virtuosic transformation of a literary genre, A Bloodsmoor Romance is a compelling, hilarious, and magical anti-romanceLittle Women by way of Stephen King.

From the revered author of the bestselling The Hidden Life of Dogs, a witty, engaging, life-affirming account of the joy, strength, and wisdom that comes with age.

Elizabeth Marshall Thomas has spent a lifetime observing the natural world, chronicling the customs of pre-contact hunter-gatherers and the secret lives of deer and dogs. In this book, the capstone of her long career, Thomas, now eighty-eight, turns her keen eye to her own life.

A charmingly intimate account and a broad look at the social and historical traditions related to aging, Growing Old explores a wide range of issues connected with growing older, from stereotypes of the elderly as burdensome to the methods of burial humans have used throughout history to how to deal with a concerned neighbor who assumes youre buying cat food to eat for dinner.

Written with the wit of Nora Ephrons I Feel Bad About My Neck and the lyrical beauty and serene wisdom of When Breath Becomes Air, Growing Old is an expansive and deeply personal paean to the beauty and the brevity of life that offers understanding for everyone, regardless of age.

Summary:

Previously published as Kid Quixotes: A Group of Students, Their Teacher, and the One-Room School Where Everything Is Possible

In my years of experience as a writer and as a college professor, I have never seen anything like this: the love for language, the passion for discussion, clarity of mind, and humility of heart. Stephen Haff invents impossible projects and makes them possible.

Valeria Luiselli, author of Lost Children Archive

The unlikely, inspiring true story of a one-room school where children of undocumented immigrants and their teacher discover their voices and speak truth to power.

Still Waters in a Storm is an after-school program held in a small room in Bushwick, Brooklyn; it is a place for kids to practice reading and writing in English, Spanish, and Latin. For the students, many living in constant fear of deportation, Still Waters is a refuge. For Stephen Haff, a former public-school teacher, it is the sanctuary he built following a breakdown caused by bipolar depression. At Still Waters, all agreed that there would only be one rule: Everyone listens to everyone. And this has unlocked spectacular potential.

 Since 2016, the students have been collectively translating Don Quixote into English, taking the Spanish talea story about a dreamer who never gives upand adapting it into a bilingual musical. Six-year old Sarah tells of her mothers journey across the desert from Mexico riding on the back of a tiger. Alex, a very private teenager, sings her coming out song to standing ovations. As the kids perform their work across NYC, they learn that they belong in this countrytheir voices amplifying to deliver a message of diversity, love, hope, and resilience essential to us all.
