A classic essayist - over @ShinyNewBooks #montaigne @PushkinPress

I have a new review up on Shiny New Books today to share with you, and it’s of a collection of essays by the man who’s considered one of the foremost practitioners of the form – Michel de Montaigne. I’ve read a number of books by and about the great author and he was a fascinating character. His essays are wonderful reading, ranging far and wide over subjects and drawing in inspiration from the…

2024 Children's and Middle Grade

There are quite a few Nosy Crow books on the list. I went through the publishers who have catalogues first and that’s how it panned out. The next children’s and middle grade releases will hopefully be more balanced. The Unbeatable Lily Hong by Diana Ma | 02 / 01 / 24 – Clarion Books If there’s one thing Lily Hong can’t stand, it’s being second best. That’s why she and Max Zhang have been bitter…

Mary Murphy's eagerly-awaited first novel is out now. A Sarah Odedina Book from Pushkin Children's designed by Jet Purdie, The Minute Minders is written and fully illustrated by Mary Murphy.

"The world that Murphy creates is captivating. The Minute Minders is a treat for all ages." ― Patricia Forde, Laureate na nÓg "A fresh take on the 'tiny person' theme with a beautiful empathetic message!" ― Harriet Muncaster, author of the Isadora Moon series “The Minute Minders by Mary Murphy is a funny, sweet fantasy adventure about fidders, tiny people who help humans. Illustrated by Murphy throughout, it’s perfect for age 8+. (Or to read aloud to 7+)” — Sarah Webb "A book with heart and humour and a bit of jeopardy, served up with a light touch and a wink." ― A.F. Harrold

"A timeless classic in the making and so full of heart." — NetGalley reviewer

"A delightful tale full of many messages and themes which would lend itself to being a class story time book. I can't wait to buy my own copy to share with my class as I'm certain they'll enjoy it as much as I did." — NetGalley reviewer

"Now that I have finished this book, I am not just going to leave it on the shelf but will keep reading it over and over again." — Books Up North review by Emaan, aged 7

"‘The Minute Minders’ is a completely captivating, thoroughly enjoyable read, full of warmth and humour ... Stevie is a wonderful character … Her relationship with her father is beautifully captured … Mary Murphy’s world building is brilliant." ― Through the Bookshelf

"Mary Murphy's first chapter book for older readers is a delightful story ... Readers will be transported into a magical world that closely resembles ours ... Highlighting the importance of friendship, this story shows how a little bit of kindness and care can go a long way and how the actions we take, even if just for a minute, can make a world of difference." — Inis Magazine (Children's Books Ireland) review by Elanur Eroglu Williams

"The Minute Minders is a wonderful middle-grade debut novel. A heartwarming and captivating story which is full of adventure, fantasy and empathy. I love the hidden messages throughout about never giving up which will not only support younger readers but educate them as well ... about checking in on people, supporting them and making small changes to improve our mental-wellbeing which is something we could all do with doing even from a young age. The illustrations are just stunning and really help to bring this fabulous story to life. ... The Minute Minders is a perfect book for upper primary libraries and classrooms and is a great match for fans of books by Cressida Cowell, RJ Palacio and Andy Shepherd." — Emma Suffield, blogger, Waterstones Senior Bookseller and SLA School Librarian of the Year 2018

"With soft pencil illustrations throughout, Murphy’s first longer book for older readers has the cosy feel of a new classic." ― The Irish Examiner

"The Minute Minders, a richly imaginative tale from Mary Murphy, takes the ‘little person’ framework and imbues it with new life. ... Some children’s books prove especially hard acts to follow. Any story about tiny people secretly interacting with human beings, for example, is fated to draw comparisons with Mary Norton’s beloved series The Borrowers (1952), which told the story of a family of such people who live clandestinely in the walls and floor of an old English house. ("Borrowers don’t steal… except from human beings.") The Minute Minders, an enchanting debut novel by Mary Murphy, is also about tiny people – and it is to Murphy’s great credit that it doesn’t feel borrowed at all." ― The Telegraph; review by Emily Bearn, 17th January 2024

"This is the first book in a series, told through Stevie's frank and funny voice." — The Week Junior; Book of the Week review, 27th January 2024

"In the tradition of Borrowers, Minpins and flits, fidders are tiny people who live alongside humans. But fidders are there expressly to help, putting thoughts into heads to nudge people in directions that will make them happy, fulfil their dreams, save their lives. They can also communicate with cats and dogs, and they have various jobs: some reveal truth, some inspire creativity, and “minute minders” have one minute to solve problems. Stevie is a ten-year-old fidder who lives with her dad, and gets him into trouble by breaking the rules of interactions with humans, which leads to tasks on which their livelihood and dream holiday depend. These include helping two lonely children to find each other and deal with a bully. This delightful book has empathy, sweet pictures, a virtuoso meta ending, and a good deal of wise advice." — The Sunday Times best books for children 2024; Children's Book of the Week review by Nicolette Jones, 28th January

I actually think "A Report for the Academy" has more to say about the Ashkenazi experience and does better with themes of alienation and inescapable bestial otherness, and the cruelty of the so called civilized perspective than Metamorphosis. Metamorphosis I think has a lot of themes of disability and burden and disposability within the family structure that, while definitely informed by Kafka's experience of antisemitism, and which certainly can be read as an allegorical portrayal of the way European society viewed Jewish citizens, is too interpersonal to be just about that. So like... I think it's equally fair to say you can't understand Metamorphosis without understanding Kafka's Jewishness as it is to say you can't understand Metamorphosis without understanding the spectre of the sanitorium and his persistent health problems, and the particular horror of how those plus his Jewishness could trap him in Austria because of immigration laws and philosophies of the time. However you absolutely cannot understand A Report for the Academy without understanding the plight of the assimilated literati Jew of the 19th century who had cousins in the shtetl who only spoke Yiddish.

#anyway. highly recommend pushkin press's collection of his short stories #because its tragic to limit yourself to metamorphosis

It’s Fine Press Friday!

This week we present a 1929 edition of Alexander Pushkin’s satirical and even blasphemous poem on the Lukan Annunciation story, Gabriel: A Poem in One Song, translated by Max Eastman, illustrated with original wood engravings by Rockwell Kent, and published in New York by Covici-Friede in a limited edition of 750 copies. The publication was handset by J. S. Jacobs and printed under his supervision at the Stratford Press in Frederic Goudy‘s newly designed Deepdene type on Arnold unbleached cream wove paper, and bound in limp vellum with a gold-stamped illustration by Kent at the American Book Bindery in New York.

Here’s Wikipedia’s synopsis of the blasphemous narrative:

God chooses [Mary] to be the mother of Jesus and sends Archangel Gabriel to announce the good news. Satan learns about God's plan and arrives first in the form of a snake to seduce and deflower Mary. Gabriel arrives too late to save her from Satan but manages to drive him off with an illegal punch to testicles. Then he quickly has his way with Mary, who had already seen him in a vision and was impatiently waiting for him. The next morning, God in the form of a dove flies into Mary's bedroom and has intercourse with her, thus thinking He has conceived Jesus.

Oh, my! Pushkin wrote the poem in 1821 while he was a student. It only circulated in manuscript and because of its impiety, it was never published in Pushkin’s lifetime. Still, enough had read it in manuscript to get the author in a lot of hot water, and it would have been off to Siberia for him if he had not appealed directly to the Tsar with the deepest contrition.  

Covici-Friede was founded in 1928 by publisher Pascal Covini and Boni & Liveright vice president Donald Friede. It had considerable literary success in its short run, and Rockwell Kent corresponded with the firm from its founding to the time it folded in 1938. Gabriel was the first publication Kent illustrated for Covici-Friede and he would illustrate only one other title for them, a 2-volume Canterbury Tales published in 1930. We hold a 1934 second Covici-Friede edition of that title printed with Kent’s original plates from the 1930 edition. Our copies of Gabriel and The Canterbury Tales are both gifts from our friend Jerry Buff,

And to my lips the Seraph clung

And tore from me my sinful tongue,

My cunning tongue and idle-worded;

The subtle serpent's sting he set

Between my lips—his hand was wet,

His bloody hand my mouth begirded.

And with a sword he cleft my breast

And took the heart with terror turning,

And in my gaping bosom pressed

A coal that throbbed there, black and burning.

Upon the wastes, a lifeless clod,

I lay, and heard the voice of God:

"Arise, oh prophet, watch and hearken,

And with my Will thy soul engird,

Through lands that dim and seas that darken,

Burn thou men's hearts with this, my Word."

(excerpt from Pushkin - The Prophet

Translated by Babette Deutsch and Avrahm Yarmolinsky)

...in which Mount TBR gets even more out of control! 😳 #bookpost

It’s been a while since I did any kind of bookhaul post on the Ramblings (apart from the birthday/Christmas arrivals) as I *am* trying to be a little more careful about what arrives here, bearing in mind how many unread books I already have. I do share incomings on X/Twitter but tbh the state of the world is so rotten at the moment that I feel a bit bad being jolly about books on there. However,…

My Three Desert Island Poems

As mentioned in a post earlier in June, I spent a few days around that time trying to choose just 3 poems that I might take with me to a speculative desert island. I was asked to do this by The Friday Poem website and they have now posted the results of my labours. In the end I chose work by Coleridge, Edward Thomas and Rainer Maria Rilke. Of course, the latter has been on my mind a great deal…
