NimbusBy Robert B. Bird (Holt). In this Début novel, which is reflected in the policy of paternity, motherhood and modern campus, a society is raised when a two -year -old boy begins to glow. The boy’s mother wants to hide the child from the audience and the wolf press; Meanwhile, her husband, a professor of religious studies, accepts the curiosity of the public, and even directing a mitigating doctorate. A consultant towards writing a thesis on the meaning of his son’s brightness. Bird’s almost bad story emphasizes the conflict between the instincts of reason and the basis. A university library secretary who has a dependency confrontation with the glowing boy notes, “Even in the Divine School … the dictates of the mind and good taste were not identical to the flash of celebrities.”
Rosa MesticaBy Euphrase Kezilahabi, translated from Swahiliya by Jay Boss Robin (Yale). I originally wrote in 1971, Kezilahabi’s novel about changing cultural positions in Tanzania, especially towards female sexual activity, at first, before becoming classic. Rosa, the sixteen children, was beaten by her drunk father after discovering that the boy who was walking to school had written a love letter. She is determined to focus on her studies and ignore children, so that the struggle in the school provokes that life lives more dates. Love, disappointment, independence, and shame follow. Kezilahabi’s novel in space plays between social realism and the novel of fabolist stories, asking about ethical questions about parents’ responsibilities and the effects of women’s liberation, no one should be withholding the final ruling.
