  Dear Persephone, You’re twenty-two months old as of yesterday. Not long ago I had a fleeting vision of what you might be like when you are twenty-two years old. We were napping together and it came in a dream as I was half-asleep, so vivid and so real and so beautiful. I woke up and was amazed. But in the manner of ...

• Trial by Water

  I wasn’t feeling quite right. When Xy offered to take our daughter with her on a shopping expedition I assented. It was just starting to rain so I urged her to drive carefully. Off she went. We’d heard the weather reports the night before talking about a possibly severe “rain event” but I thought that was ...

• Someone at a Distance – Dorothy Whipple (1953)

  
  Other Stories — Authority: 114
  The post-WWII period is not a period of literature with which I am terribly familiar. My general interest lies between about 1860-1920, then jumps forward into the 1970s and onwards from there. That leaves 50 years where I have scratched the surface thanks to the odd book and my undergraduate 20thC course, but no more ...

  Thanks to Sean for turning me on to this animated short. The Waif of Persephone from Nick Cross on Vimeo . At first I was thrown off by the complete absence of Demeter, but it becomes clear that Mr. Cross has quite a different take on the old story. Amazing work! I’m getting the DVD because, you know, we ...

• The Victorian Chaise-Longue by Marghanita Laski

  
  Fleur Fisher reads — Authority: 127
  It’s a couple of years now since I read my first couple of novels by Marghanita Laski – Little Boy Lost and then The Village. Two very different books and I loved them both. Yet I hesitated to read The Victorian Chaise-Longue. Could it possibly live up to such high expectations? Wouldn’t it be awful to not have ...

  b.rox — Authority: 122
  My friend Leonardo e-mailed me about this. Our paper carries a Parade magazine like thing during the week called American Perspectives or something like that. At any rate, today’s cover story is on unusual baby names. The illustration is a dozen ‘My name is’ name tags like you’d wear at a conference. And the ...

• Twenty-One Months

  
  b.rox — Authority: 122
  Dear Persephone, A lot has sure happened in the last month. Most notably, perhaps, we moved to a new house. I know moving can be especially tough for kids, but I think you’re still young enough that this didn’t really disturb you at all. You seemed to just accept it. As far as we can tell you’re just as happy ...
