Titled ‘Double Trouble’ and from ‘B.D.R.’ of London, S.W.5., the photograph accompanying the letter shows the ‘Twin Foxes’ not two of the same animal but identical twin brothers, the apparently infamous Albert Ebenezer and Ebenezer Albert Fox.

I wrote about how your book Kira-Kira affected me as kid, how it affects me now. Kira-Kira raises this mix to a level of highest art. “ Kira-Kira is heartbreaking, brilliant, and might as easily be read by a 41-year-old as a 14-year-old …in works of literature for the young, the tragic and the comic forever travel hand in hand. And my 11-year-old was so entranced that she finished the book in a single sitting.” ( Entertainment Weekly) “Kadohata’s spare, lovely images stayed in my head long after I turned the last page. ![]() Over the years, I’ve read many thousands of reviews posted at BookBrowse, and those that have been written by students for school projects run the gamut from positive to negative, but more often than not they tend towards the vitriolic or just plain bored…” ( Bookbrowse) “It is particularly interesting to note how glowingly positive these reviews are considering that most of the reviewers read Kira-Kira as a school assignment.

Within the shells the men and women knew not seasons nor growth nor decay, but lived endlessly in orbit without benefit of a planetary home. The sensors of Twelve Solar-Flare’s ship recorded ten of them, each alike to the other, and this number has not increased since. The rays of her light, reaching outward like the spear-spokes of her throne, struck the metal shells which were the dwelling-places of human beings in Sector B5682, and illuminated them brightly. ![]() And from behind the curve of the large gaseous planet at coordinate B5682.76R1, the Emperor Twelve Solar-Flare arose on the bow of her ship, and she was a radiant blaze flooding all of the void. ![]() ![]() ![]() If your institution is not listed or you cannot sign in to your institution’s website, please contact your librarian or administrator.Įnter your library card number to sign in. ![]() ![]() Following successful sign in, you will be returned to Oxford Academic.Do not use an Oxford Academic personal account.

![]() ![]() ![]() Without Ken Liu’s translations, let’s remember, us anglophone readers wouldn’t have these stories in the first place. Qiufan’s bold, elastic narrative style is endlessly engaging. Qiufan’s story deftly jumps from one disease to another like a doctor writing clinical narratives of patients with whom he’s quite familiar. And then there’s Chen Qiufan’s superbly written and intense story 'A History of Future Illnesses,' which chronicles imaginary future ailments caused by excessive use of technology. The lovely and richly imagined 'Under a Dangling Sky' and 'The Robot Who Liked to Tell Tall Tales' (Fei Dao) brilliantly mix magical realism and science fiction to create a new kind of evocative subgenre. even readers who have encountered some of these stories before will be excited to see them once again, this time shoulder-to-shoulder with newly translated and brilliant stories. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thinking Fast And Slow by Daniel Kahneman In the process, we’ve learned a thing or two about habits, and we’ve also discovered which books are most efficient at helping us adjust our behaviors to better serve our goals.

Has it ever happened to you that you ended up resolving to make the same changes again the next year? Two years, three years, four years in a row? Inevitably, we’ll ask ourselves: How many times do I have to try this to succeed? A change of habits, character traits, or your physical appearance – you name it. ![]() ![]() ![]() One term Julian discusses is especially crucial to our work: accommodation. It’s full of important information and insight focusing on what we called “paranoid parenting” in the book.
