Every time Kundera picks up a topic for reflection, we are stunned. Here, he examines the role of memory (and forgetting) and its role in history and politics, how it impacts us and our sense of justice and reconciliation. Strapped in . . .

What happens when grief cannot pass, when the dead will not leave us? Apparently a ghastly and emotional read!

Overdue for me, this is my first book by Ortiz. A reflection and narrative of the 1864 Sand Creek Massacre, this has become a classic of First Nations literature.

Strange and infamous horror manga. Not sure what to say about it except that it fragments and slices, visual and sound clips of terror, of hair, of dark gods, of a growing presence across its many chapters. So, cool.

Only a few titles of his I have not read now, and every one stirs the semiotician in me. A fantasy-history of the 12th century when a language-gifted peasant boy stumbles through crusader history: what power the word in this place?

You basically have two choices when a god and his cult arrive on your doorstep. They chose . . . poorly.

A new book of poetry by Teets, one I was honored to write an introduction to, and now I get to meet the final product! If you haven't found the transformative beat cynicism of his work, you can now.

Slowly reading through the collected works of Verne mostly due to nostalgia, partly to re-figure them in my current mindset of narrative power, the advocate of the science novel in the age of Imperialism. This first published work dates to 1852.

This is my first read of poet Cruz, and I've chosen a book which explores despair and grief. Perhaps not a typical work of hers, but highly recommended, so . . .

What is this podcast, anyway? I recommend you start here, with this introduction to Literary Nomads and get a taste of what the larger series offers! (Oh, and we talk about--no kidding--"The Road Not Taken")

Ahn's graphic memoir traces his lost relationship with his grandfather in his youth to his realization of self through environmental justice activism. Not a typical format for memoir, so I'll be interested to see how it translates.
