    Tabula Rasa: Volume 1

    Over seven decades, John McPhee has set a standard for literary nonfiction.  
     
    Assaying mountain ranges, bark canoes, experimental aircraft, the Swiss Army, geophysical hot spots, ocean shipping, shad fishing, and dissident art in the Soviet Union, among myriad other subjects, he has consistently written narrative pieces of immaculate design. 
     
    In Tabula Rasa, McPhee looks back at his career from the vantage point of his desk drawer, reflecting wryly upon projects he began but never completed or published. Collected and augmented, these pieces form a “reminiscent montage” of a writing life. This volume includes, among  
    other things, a frosty encounter with Thornton Wilder, interrogative dinners with Henry Luce, glimpses of the allure of western Spain, fireworks over the East River as seen from Malcolm Forbes’s yacht, the evolving inclinations of the Tower of Pisa, the islands in the river delta of central  
    California, teaching in a pandemic, and persuading The New Yorker to publish an entire book on oranges. The result is a fresh survey of McPhee’s singular planet.

    Al Griot, Viola Bommer and Rudolf Stenzinger tell this fairy tale from Burkina Faso like traditional African bards, the griots. It is about a little girl who is treated so shabbily by her stepmother that she would rather live with the animals down by river than continue to lead this dog's life. Finally, however, with the help of a river fairy, she succeeds in awakening the conscience of the villagers.    With drums, all kinds of percussion, vocals, double bass and many other instruments, this encouraging story comes to life as if it had really happened ...    Text from the book by Karim Traoré: "Die Verlobte des Marabut: Märchen und Mythen aus Westafrika". Mit Illustrationen von Marcia Kure. Misereor Medienproduktion 1999.    Watercolour - Manfred Binzer. Cover design - Markus Rendl.   Recorded at Tonjagd Studio Mannheim.

    Ben Pitcher's Elly - Mann delves...

    Mary E Mann

    Mary Rackham was born in Norwich on 14th August 1848 to a merchant family.  Little is known of her early life and her biography only re-appears in September 1871 with marriage to Fairman Joseph Mann, a farmer with 800 acres.   
     
    Mary moved to Shropham, Norfolk and became involved with the workhouse, visiting the sick and other unfortunates of the parish, her observations and experiences a valuable source for her later stories.  
     
    She took up writing, partly to offset the dreary village life of her surroundings, in the 1880s and published her first novel, ‘The Parish of Hilby’ (1883) at her own expense. It was well received by the critics.  
     
    Thus began a career that spanning three decades provided thirty-three novels, hundreds of short stories, and fourteen plays.  Her work was largely focused on rural life in Norfolk and centered on the fictional town of Dulditch, with grim but authentic accounts of poverty and deprivation.  
     
    Her marriage produced one boy and three girls. With her husband's death in 1913, she moved to Sheringham.  
     
    She is regarded as a major contributor to East Anglian literature with particular praise given to her short stories. 
     
    Mary E Mann died on 19th May 1929.  She was 80.  Her grave-marker is a carved open book with the epitaph ‘We bring our years to an end, as if it were a tale that is told’. 
     
    Life in ‘Ben Pitcher's Elly’ is degrading, awful and unvarnished.  The chances of this young girl having a happy life are remote but her story must be heard.

    All of Us Together in the End

    Matthew Vollmer’s family memoir shimmers with wonder and enchantment and begins with the death of his mother from early-onset Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Soon after, flashing lights and floating orbs appear in the woods surrounding his family’s home in rural North Carolina, where his widowed father lives. Formative memories of having been raised in the Seventh-day Adventist church resurge in Vollmer’s mind, hastening self-reexamination and reckoning. He corresponds with a retired geology professor about “ghost lights,” which supposedly occur more in North Carolina than any other American state. He scrolls TikTok. He contacts an eccentric shaman who lives in Spain to have transcendental psychotherapy administered over Zoom. And then Jolene emerges, a woman endeared for decades to Vollmer’s father, holding secrets to their family’s past. Amidst the turmoil and loneliness of the pandemic, All of Us Together in the End is a poignant and often humorous investigation into belief set in a time where it seems people will believe anything. It is an elegiac affirmation of the awesome, strange, otherworldly ways our loved ones remain alive to us, even when they are out of reach.
