Like everything else in the wreckage of the blockaded city, where going for a walk through the park attracts suspicion, his reunion with her is fraught with danger-especially after her ailing brother shows up, having escaped a Russian labor camp. In fact, he has greatly missed Irene, the woman he left behind, whose romantic involvement with a Russian makes her one of his targets. His cover story is that he missed his homeland, like other returning intellectuals including Bertolt Brecht (a minor character in the book). When his leftist politics got him in trouble in the U.S., costing him his marriage, he struck a deal to go back to Germany as an undercover spy with the promise that he could return to America with his record cleared. Set in 1949, a few years after Kanon's The Good German (2001) , this novel explores the grave moral complexities of life in Soviet-controlled East Berlin through the tense encounters of Alex Meier, a young Jewish novelist of some renown working for the CIA.Ī native of Berlin, Alex fled the Nazis for America before World War II. ![]() ![]() She is reminded from her instructors every single day, that she is an unwanted nobody who would better off be dead.

![]() ![]() ![]() According to some Texas Library Association surveys, the Hank the Cowdog books are the most popular selections in many libraries' children's sections. Teachers, librarians, and students alike love Hank. When teachers began inviting Erickson to their schools, Hank found his most eager fans. So in 1983, he self-published 2,000 copies of The Original Adventures of Hank the Cowdog, and they sold out in 6 weeks. Hank the Cowdog made his debut in the pages of The Cattleman, a magazine for adults, and when Erickson started getting "Dear Hank" letters, he knew he was onto something. Publishers Weekly calls Hank a "grassroots publishing phenomena," and USA Today says this is "the best family entertainment in years." This series of books and tapes is in school libraries across the country, has sold more than 7.6 million copies, is a Book-of-the-Month Club selection, and is the winner of the 1993 Audie for Outstanding Children's Series from the Audio Publisher's Association. ![]() Through the eyes of Hank the Cowdog, a smelly, smart-aleck Head of Ranch Security, Erickson gives readers a glimpse of daily life on a ranch in the West Texas Panhandle.

After that, Henry will give Luc his soul and die. After their breakup, Luc interferes with Henry’s suicide attempt and convinces Henry to make a deal with him instead: for one year, Henry will be loved and desired by all.

The southern setting gives Kantra a fresh source of old-fashioned charm in which to situate the modern March sister’s challenges to conventional society. Kantra resets the nineteenth-century New England classic in Bunyan, North Carolina, the first of many literary references for Alcott fans, honoring the author of Pilgrim’s Progress, which is an important literary framework in Little Women. Meg and Jo is told in alternating character perspectives by the oldest two March sisters. Like the original novel on which it is based, Kantra’s story will also be told over the course of two books, with a second novel, Beth and Amy forthcoming. Virginia Kantra’s Meg and Jo: A Contemporary Retelling of Little Women (New York: Berkley, 2019) is a modern retelling of Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women (original published in two parts in 18). I am pleased to present this guest post by Kristi Lynn Martin, PhD: her review of this novel based on Little Women. ![]() |
