{On wearing a tie in the middle of the week}

Dearest readers,

It is strawberry season here on the coast of North Carolina, which means that her ladyship, the editor, has a bowl full sitting on the small table next to her reading chair. Strawberries are one of her ladyship’s most favorite foods to read by--followed closely by blueberries, fresh figs, and cheese powdered popcorn.  When it comes to armchair travelling, her ladyship does not require excessive provisions, but she is picky about what she takes. A good book is food for the mind. So one ought to ensure there is good food for the brain on hand to support the journey. A bowl of fresh strawberries is excellent support.

Happy reading.

her ladyship, the editor

Lady Banks' Commonplace Book

Noteworthy poetry and prose from her ladyship's bedside reading stack.

Beyond the farmhouse, another marked tree showed the way into  t he cove. At first what he followed was more the memory of a trail, places where weeds and saplings grew instead of trees., but as he moved downward the granite cliff narrowed and an old path emerged. Where the land leveled for a few yards, an ash tree rose on the left, one thick limb leaning into the cliff. Bottles and tin scraps hung from the limb like wind chimes. Shards of colored glass and yellow salt from a cow lick littered the ground. He’s seen a similar collage in Tennessee, been told its purpose was to keep evil from coming through.

-Ron Rash, The Cove (Ecco, 2012) 9780061804205

Book Gossip

Literary News & Gossip passed along from the readers, the writers, the reviewers, the resellers, the riff raff, and dutifully repeated here by her ladyship (who falls into the last category).

Gov. Bill Haslam says he began his time in office two years ago with a goal: finish 100 books before he completes his first term. On top of the newspapers, magazines and reports he has to read as governor, Haslam’s challenge to himself means he must maintain an ambitious pace of finishing two books a month. But the Republican governor says making the time to read for pleasure has been worthwhile. “Reading is the one thing I can look forward to at the end of the day, no matter how bad the day has been,” he said. “I didn’t want to lose the perspective that comes with reading beyond the news of the day.” TN Gov. Bill Haslam shares favorite reads

The Charleston Kitchen reminds me that so many of the area’s foods are communal. Rather than composed plates, there are big bowls of soup, platters of finger foods and serving dishes piled with Southern sides to pass around the table. A lot of these dishes, while simple to prepare, require some time. Simmered vegetables and long-cooking main courses means whiling away hours with those you’re serving. To me, that is the heart of the Charleston kitchen. Food always tastes better when you’re sharing it with good friends. Going home with the Lee Brothers 9780307889737

In its quiet way, Life After Life, McCorkle’s sixth novel, is a daring venture — an attempt to tell a big story inside a tiny orbit. At the Pine Haven retirement center in the author’s familiar, fictional Fulton, N.C., dinner is finished early, which is fine with sunny Sadie, “who likes to watch ‘Jeopardy’ in her pajamas.” McCorkle has an ear for Southern banter, both funny and sad. Late Bloomers

But it's Josie's emotional journey that really made the story shine for me. My word, I loved her. She's clever and tough, and brave enough to open her heart to love even though she's faced some hardcore rejection. Josie's tone is never "woe is me." It's more, "here I go." And my gosh, you want to go with her. You root for her more and more at every brilliant twist. Some of my favorite stories are the kind that flip preconceived notions of "good" vs. "bad", which happens a bit here. Out of the Easy 9780399256929

Boykin’s Faulkner-esque regionalism heightens the interest for born-and-raised Carolinian readers, but I would shoot so far as to say our numerous Northern imports would also enjoy this read. A little sentimental, a little raw, and a lot local, Boykin’s “The Wisdom of Hair” is a thoughtful but breezy poolside read. The Wisdom of Hair

Author Gossip

“Almost everything I write begins with dialogue,” Dorothy Allison told me when I interviewed her last week. “Then, trying to figure out who these people are. They have to be challenging enough, and make me curious enough to follow them, otherwise the story stalls….I have a series of stories I’ve been working on and they are all based about ‘what kind of story is this.’ There’s usually a repeating line: ‘This is a true story. This is a story I don’t want to tell you.’ That sets up different constructions. You tell the one version of the story and then you back up and start over.” Dorothy Allison: This is a southern story 9780452283510

The title comes from Thomas Wolfe's You Can't Go Home Again, which hints at author Wiley Cash's geographic roots and literary aspirations. Cash comes amazingly close to reaching his goal, and we eagerly await his future efforts.The plot unfolds in convoluted but always engaging threads (if not already informed, you will learn a good deal about burley tobacco, for instance), weaving back and forth in time to draw individuals and events into a shattering conclusion. The reader is left with figures that haunt and questions that nag. Wiley Cash 9780062088239

“So you’re the reason I have to wear a tie in the middle of the week” -- William Faulkner, to the reporter who told him he’d won the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Early in his life, William Faulkner had an epiphany: “I discovered that my own little postage stamp of native soil was worth writing about, and that I would never live long enough to exhaust it.” And so, as he told The Paris Review in 1956, “by sublimating the actual into the apocryphal” Faulkner was able to take his hometown of Oxford, Mississippi, and the surrounding countryside and use it to create his own imaginary cosmos. He called it Yoknapatawpha County. Rare 1952 Film of William Faulkner in Oxford, MS.

Bookstore Gossip

Via Shelf Awareness: On its Facebook page, Gottwals Books, which has five locations in Georgia, displayed a photo of a new work-in-progress with the message: "Shhh... it's a secret! We've got a new bookstore location coming soon... here's a shot from the inside. We're not going to reveal its location yet. Construction crews are working hard to make this a beautiful store. More images will follow as work progresses!" Gottwals's website, however, offers a pretty good clue regarding the new location: "New Orleans, La., Coming Soon!"

Lady Banks' {Book} Trailer Park:
So you want to work at an indie bookstore

Luke is the perfect boyfriend: handsome, kind, fun. He and Emaline have been together all through high school in Colby, the beach town where they both grew up. But now, in the summer before college, Emaline wonders if perfect is good enough.

Enter Theo, a super-ambitious outsider, a New Yorker assisting on a documentary film about a reclusive local artist. Theo's sophisticated, exciting, and, best of all, he thinks Emaline is much too smart for Colby.

Emaline's mostly-absentee father, too, thinks Emaline should have a bigger life, and he's convinced that an Ivy League education is the only route to realizing her potential. Emaline is attracted to the bright future that Theo and her father promise. But she also clings to the deep roots of her loving mother, stepfather, and sisters. Can she ignore the pull of the happily familiar world of Colby?

Emaline wants the moon and more, but how can she balance where she comes from with where she's going?

Sarah Dessen's devoted fans will welcome this story of romance, yearning, and, finally, empowerment. It could only happen in the summer.

Read This! Recommendations from Parnassus Books, Avid Book Shop and the local authors at Fiction Addiction

From Parnassus Books in Nashville, TN

I recently read Quiet: the Power of Introverts in a World that Can’t Stop Talking, by Susan Cain.  This is a perfect book for Parnassus.  After all, we are a business founded by two introverts (Karen Hayes and myself), staffed with introverts (probably everyone in the store except Niki and Lauren who run events and therefore really can’t be introverts). We feature a product mostly created at home by introverts (books), which we then sell primarily to introverts (readers).  In short, it’s our kind of book.  I was talking about this to Sissy Gardner, a charming and super-friendly introvert bookseller, who said she liked Quiet but thought it dragged on (I agree). She then pointed me to a similar sort of book which she considered to be superior, The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brain, by Nicholas Carr, and because I admire Sissy in all matters, I bought the book, took it home, and read it. Now this is a book to shake up the world, to make us put down our iPhones and head back to the bookstore. Less is More: Ann Patchett at Parnassus Books 9780393339758

From Avid Bookshop in Athens, GA

I hugged The Burgess Boys when I finished it. Strout's descriptions of characters' interior lives are remarkable & unparalleled. She remains one of my favorite fiction writers. This would be a great treat for you or your Mama! (Janet, owner) 9781400067688

From the local authors at Fiction Addiction in Greenville, SC

The Sandcastle Girls by Chris Bohjalian (Vintage Books, paperback, $15.95) When Bohjalian says that this book is the most important one he's written, believe him. In a story that draws on his Armenian roots and shifts between Bronxville, NY, in 2012, and Aleppo, Syria, in 1915, he combines the love story of the narrator's grandparents with the tale of the extermination of a million and a half Armenians. It's a gripping tale, sometimes horrifying, sometimes heartrending. Yet despite the grim backdrop of WWI, the book is not unrelentingly dark. Like all of Bohjalian's novels, it's supremely readable, with a cast of Ellyn Bache engaging characters, an intricate and fast-moving plot, and finally, a whisper of hope. Book clubs will find lots to discuss. -Recommended by Ellyn Bache, author of The Art of Saying Goodbye 9780385534796

Frozen in Time by Mitchell Zuckoff (HarperCollins, hardcover, $28.99) Frozen in Time by Mitchel Zuckoff is a well-written, engaging, and informative story of planes lost in Greenland during World War II, of attempts to rescue the crews and sometimes the rescuers, and of a modern attempt to locate the lost planes. Greenland is an unforgiving environment where thesurvival of anyone from a plane crash seems Jim McFarlane a miracle. Recommended for anyone who enjoys history and true survival stories. A May 2013 Indie Next Pick. -Recommended by Jim McFarlane, author of Penelope  9780062253750

City of Women by David R. Gillham (Amy Einhorn Books, paperback, $16.00) Berlin in 1943 is a City of Women because the men have gone to war. It is also a city of rationing, drabness, enforced patriotism, fear, and suspicion. Sigrid Schroder lives in a small apartment and argues with her mother-in-law while her husband fights on the Eastern Front. Then dutiful Sigrid meets a mysterious man and becomes involved -- in lots of things. This well-written and compelling debut novel by David R. Gillham is a character study, a morality tale, and a thriller. One of the best novels I've read this year. A May 2013 Indie Next Pick. -Recommended by Jim McFarlane, author of Penelope  9780425252963

The Carrion Birds by Urban Waite (William Morrow, hardcover, $25.99) This literary thriller and modern western presents real characters with human motivations and vulnerabilities in the realistic setting of New Mexican desert and scrubland where completing one last job will allow Ray Lamar to abandon his life of violence. The simple job goes awry because the rules of the game have changed. I recommend this book to anyone who doesn't mind violence and doesn't have a plane to catch -- I almost missed my connection while reading this book. A May 2013 Indie Next Pick. -Recommended by Jim McFarlane, author of Penelope 9780062216885

Author 2 Author: Debra Moffitt

Interview with Author, Debra Moffitt

Carolyn: The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett was one of my all time favorite books. It is in a secret garden that both children heal. You make reference to “the secret garden” in your book, Garden of Bliss. Was this deliberate?

Debra: I lived many years in Europe, and I often heard references to the secret garden. Someone would say to me, “Keep that reflection to explore in your secret garden.” The image was so powerful that I wondered what they meant. When I researched, I learned that secret gardens date back to the Middle Ages, a time when nothing could thrive in the chaotic, war-torn, drought-stricken land. Closed walls went up to create a place where delicate herbs and fruit trees could grow in protected places. Some secret gardens still exist inside castle grounds and behind monastery walls. The secret garden, for me, is a symbol of the sacred inner terrain of the soul where we can discover our gifts and cultivate a more peaceful and joy-filled life in a protected inner place. Later when presenting a writing workshop called “Journey into the Secret Garden” one of the participants said, “Have you read the book, The Secret Garden?” I hadn’t at that point. I find that the children’s book is much inspired by the European legend.

Carolyn: Your book is a journey of self-discovery.  What motivated you to turn inward and seek answers?

Debra: I had been doing everything you were supposed to do: working hard at a corporate job to make money; having a “successful” marriage; creating a beautiful place to live. But at a certain point I just felt empty. Nothing “out there” in the material world was satisfying me. My heart felt empty and I wasn’t happy. As I looked around at people who had much more money than I did I saw they hadn’t found happiness either. So trying to get more money and things wasn’t the answer. I started to pay attention to dreams, and looked into my heart which guided me to journey both outside to places like Egypt and India, and also to explore inside where I ultimately found a sense of peace and joy. Happiness is different from joy and bliss. Happiness relies on outer things, while joy touches on inner, spiritual life. Bliss is the spiritual jackpot.

Carolyn: You talk about synchronicity and how people or events cross your path to offer guidance, encouragement, or aid. Could you share an example of this in your life?

Debra: When I made a commitment to follow my intuition, or my “secret gardener” as I call it/her in the book, a whole series of synchronicities kicked in to lead me to the places and people I was supposed to meet to help me learn and grow. The first was a “nose”, a perfumer in Grasse, who led me to an Egyptian perfumer in Cairo. The perfumer in Cairo was psychic, and he immediately began to tell me things about my life that he could not have known otherwise. This opened a new world to me and taught me to begin to trust my own intuition and psychic abilities. I believe we all experience both synchronicity and intuition but often we ignore it and let opportunities pass.

Carolyn: I think the garden is a lovely metaphor for going inward, preparing the soil for new growth, planting, weeding, and finally harvesting. Meditation is one of the first steps. You offer many helpful suggestions for beginners at meditation. Is there a special place you go to meditate? Where is your secret garden?

Debra: My secret garden is inside. When I go beneath the worry and craziness of my mind I can feel the harmony and peace. I connect with this place by creating an altar at home where I meditate each day. I also find that same experience of peace in nature. Walking outdoors in a forest immediately brings me in tune with the harmony and beauty. I ideally seek to carry this experience of peace and joy back into the less peaceful places, but I find I have to keep touching inward to do this.

Carolyn: The book is filled with supportive quotes for many cultures and many belief systems. Who inspires you and why?

Debra: There are so many people and wise teachers who I find inspiring. Gandhi and his practice of non-violence inspired me as a teenager. Another one who really touched me deeply was Sathya Sai Baba in India. He created water projects and brought water to villages where people had to walk miles for fresh water. He also created state-of-the-art hospitals where healthcare is free. His work helped to transform India. Leaders and people from around the world came to see him before he died.

Carolyn: Who can benefit from reading your book? 

Debra: Readers who are curious about exploring their inner landscape – and also for those who want a good story. It’s written in memoir style and shows how dreams and synchronicities worked for me, and it offers an invitation and encouragement to readers to begin to trust their own intuition and pay attention to the signs. There’s a whole world that’s ready to open up to us if we’re willing. Garden of Bliss gently encourages readers to go inside to find the love, peace, and joy that is waiting there if they’re willing to dig deep and allow the seeds to take root.

Carolyn: Socrates said, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” Do you believe he referred to the type of journey advocated in Garden of Bliss? 

Debra: I don’t know if a life without introspection is “not worth living”. But a life lived with introspection and some self-inquiry certainly provides some good opportunities to grow and learn. It can also keep us from repeating the same old mistakes over and over. Life is like an iceberg. If we take everything on a superficial level, then we’re missing out on 99% of what’s going on! There’s an awful lot of stuff below the surface that’s worth paying attention to.

Debra Moffitt is the award winning author of Awake in the World: 108 Practices to Live a Divinely Inspired Life and Garden of Bliss. A visionary, dreamer and teacher, she’s devoted to nurturing the spiritual in everyday life. She leads workshops on spiritual practices, writing and creativity in the U.S. and Europe.
