There’s the joys of little children and the visceral sense of loss as they turn into sometimes disappointing adults balanced by the comforts of grand-parenting. Listeners will identify with many themes, marriages and situations: Mercy breaks away from her husband when the children have left home, not because she can’t stand him, but because she wants to paint in a studio of her own and be HER. A natural death (I won’t spoil it, there are bound to be many but you’ll know which one) is truly shocking. Tyler’s skill is in making ordinary lives totally involving and so startlingly real in all their complexities that they live on beyond the page. Thus 7 year-old David, a quirky solitary little boy on the family lake-side holiday at the beginning, ricochets through life and at the end is a fond grandfather, never having recovered from his father’s harsh misjudged attempt to make him swim on that childhood trip. Anne Tyler born in 1941 is especially qualified to write this poignant chart of the Garett family through six decades from 1959 right up to the Pandemic, revealing how the sprawling legacy of members’ traits and actions ripple through the generations, braided together as in a French braid. Sixty years of a family plaited together I loved this and found it profoundly moving. Please, Lord."'ĬHIDEYA: That was author Denise Nicholas, reading from her new book, "Freshwater Road." "Dear Lord, I promise I'll go to New Mexico to see my mother. Don't let them kill us." She reached around for a viable bargain to make with God. She rolled off the bed onto the floor, as Margo had taught her to do, trying to get herself under the bed, pushing her suitcase out of the way with her feet, her heart leaping in her chest like a ball being batted furiously against a concrete wall. Bits of gravel rock flew from under the wheels of a moving car or truck. Celeste sat upright in her bed out of a deep-dream, forgotten sleep. DENISE NICHOLAS (Author, "Freshwater Road"): (Reading) `Gunfire cracked, high-pitched and fast, through the quiet country night, a crash of broken glass. Here she reads a passage from her civil-rights-era coming-of-age story. Literary critics are raving about her fiction debut, "Freshwater Road." Recently I sat down in her New York bureau with the gorgeous, youthful, 61-year-old Nicholas. The former star of "In the Heat of the Night" and "Room 222" is now a novelist. Actress Denise Nicholas has entered a new phase in her entertainment career. Though it wasn’t the filthy dirty I usually prefer it definitely was a sexy read. When I started I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry about it. The title set a pretty high expectation prescedent and I hoped it would meet my expectation. The reason I desperately wanted to read this book wasn’t because of the cover, though it’s a fabulously genius cover, it was because of the title! I unashamedly confess to being a dirty-talk junkie and when a title includes any form or the combination of the words dirty and talk, I’m a goner!

"Rackham's illustrations to Grimm, Hans Andersen or Poe show him at his most imaginative and observant of human nature, while his gnomes, fairies and gnarled anthropomorphic trees in Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens or A Midsummer Night's Dream represent his more fantastic side. His work was displayed all over Europe – and received awards at International Exhibitions in Milan and Barcelona and Rackham would influence heavily many illustrators, especially those of children’s books, who came after him. Rackham used a unique style, thought to mix European and East Asian influences, that involved both pen and India Ink as well as watercolor. His works were produced in both limited and mass market editions as there was a large market for ornately illustrated books before the First World War.
