I'm two years late, but you asked about Gloria Naylor's Mama Day and Linden Hills. Mama Day is a magical realism book about a matriarch who aides her descendants with superantural help. Linden Hills is about 3 generations of patriarchas who grew up in the same town, with the same name. I'd read Linden Hills first, than Mama Day (because of the magical realism).
oi ki kore add korbo toke?

So wonderful that you can be here in the USA at an historic and promisng time like this! Please let me know how I can get in touch with you. I recall that you are not too far away from me now?

hey oiseau,it is really good to have some notes from you. i just wrote you a message but it is gone(bad internet!!) anyway, i can write again, so how are you? did your studies started? how is ohio?my real name is cagil. zeytin means olive in turkish =) even we don't know much about ourself we are friends indeed =)) now i am in koln, germany. i do not know what to do so i am killing some time here. next month i am going to romania as i told before, hopefully. so that's all i guess..take care my friend =)best wishes..
Hello ;-)Well in our feminist course this year we didn't touch Rich at all, instead we focused on de Beauvoir, Millett, Rose, Kristeva, Irigaray, Cixous, Anzaldua...etc. Most of all I liked an essay by Spivak about the subultern woman, the Indian widow who has to sacrifice her life as soon as her husband dies... I suppose you know it, right?Some years ago I read The Bell-Jar but i'd love to give it another try :) But i totally agree, her poetry was wonderful too...Good luck with you Phd! I'd be extremely interested if you chose the lit department but even for the theoretical one, please tell me what it'll be about ok? :DGreetings from Greece*!^_^
Hello!Thanks for being my friend*I like your comments too, very much :)What else except Mrs Dalloway would you recommend? I have to admit...I am afraid of Virginia Woolf!! :PJoyce's Dubliners is my favourite, I can't find my way through Ulysses yet... and it has stayed in my Reading section for so many days now! :PBut I've started with the context, analysis and introduction to major characters from the SparkNotes to help me...Ahh, don't remind me of the Penelopiad, it felt like a cold joke that a friend tells you and you can't help feeling ridiculous for laughing pretendedly... :-SI love Plath too, I was glad we had to write about "Daddy" at my last Uni exam this year and it was totally unexpected - the prof told us she'd give us a random poem to analyze in terms of feminist literary theory and I was thrilled she chose this one! :DNice talking to you soho^.^ !! I'm Eva ;)PS- Phd of...?
WOW scholar! Keep up the good work so that u can baanto lots of gyaan to me! Have a great u.s. stint.
heyy oiseau,how are you? are you in US right know. i hope you are fine :)i couldn't make a trip to india, sadly :( but i was fooling around in europe. i travelled bratislava, hamburg, koln, groningen, amsterdam... i am going to prague next week. and then romania. I made a contact with a turkish director. he is going to make a film that will take place in romania, bulgaria then turkey which will take a month. i had the chance to work in his set, hopefully.. what are you doing these days?warm regards and best wishes..
Hi, just read all your reviews and am dying to get started on your 5 star books. Youv'e definitely pushed me to the classics!
CONGRATULATIONS my friend! You will not be too far from where I live. We must exchange info when you get here. I will send you a personal now now with my email address. How wonderful for you!
Hello dear member of the Black Feminist/Womanist Literature group! It's J., the admin., and I'm writing to inform you of the group's new look! (And it goes beyond the change in our group picture, though it is nice, don't you agree?) :) What we're discussing now: Patricia Hill Collins' Black Feminist Thought, Toni Morrison's Sula for our July read, our little BIG Read: 7 short stories in 7 days to begin later this month, the National Black Arts Festival where Alice Walker and Pearl Cleage are featured speakers, and more!We'll soon have a group blog up and running, will begin profiling the uberly dynamic authors within our own group, discussing women's/girls action coalitions in your city, reviving some of our good ol' threads, etc. I challenge everyone to invite at least one friend (already a member of shelfari or otherwise) to join the Black Feminist/Womanist Literature group and to log in at least bi-weekly. (Though weekly would be wonderful!) And I pledge to do the same. And did you know that Toni Morrison's new novel, A Mercy, is due to be released in November? Ah, you would if you'd visited our group page! (No, actually, I haven't posted this information. lol) But do stop by and fall into the purple haze that is extraordinary literature by feminists of color!Love, Jaya
