The Book Haven Cynthia Haven's blog for the written word Home Take heart! Even Nobel prizewinners get rejection letters. The New Yorker to Gabriel Garcia Marquez February 10th, 2020 Okay, okay … it’s still a few months before he gets the Nobel, but still… it’s heartening to know that even world-famous writers get “no thanks” letters, and on New Yorker letterhead no less. Roger Angell ‘s 1981 letter to Gabriel García Márquez comes to us courtesy the University of Texas’s Ransome Center and is making the rounds on Twitter. Tags: Gabriel García Márquez , Roger Angell Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments » Poet Robert Hass at Heyday – on his new book, ecology, lost friends, and Czesław Miłosz. It’s all on Soundcloud! February 7th, 2020 Lunchtime guest Bob Hass One of the little-known pleasures of Bay Area life is the Heyday Books lunchtime conversations series in Berkeley. Great company, light lunch, and excellent speakers – Robert Alter , David Ulin , among them. Because of the series, I’m running up my mileage back and forth to Berkeley, which, apart from rising gas costs and wear-and-tear on my old Honda, is always a good thing. And so I made the trek last month to hear Robert Hass , whose latest collection, Summer Snow, is getting a lot of attention. I wrote about that here . I recognize that not everyone will be able to zap over to San Pablo Boulevard on a weekday. So I have coaxed publisher Steve Wasserman and his assistant, Emmerich Anklam , to provide an alternative, and they have. Lucky for all of us, the Hass event is the debut entry on the Heyday’s brand new Soundcloud page here . Steve moderates the discussion. You never lose some friends. Bob is always a fascinating speaker, and he spoke about the dangers to our environment, friends who have died, and the unusual process of putting together Summer Snow . One of his favorite topics is Czesław Miłosz , in fact, that’s how we met. I get plenty of opportunities to talk, so I generally like to be quietly inconspicuous at these events, but an hour into the talk about lost friends and the poems of Summer Snow , he asked for one last question and I couldn’t resist the chance. My own trepidatious question around the 59 minute mark. Could he read one of his poems about Milosz? In particular, the one about the Miłosz’s tomb at Na Skałce? He hesitated. It was long, he said, counting the five pages. But then, with the encouragement of the crowd, he read the poem, “An Argument About Poetics Imagined at Squaw Valley After a Night Walk Under the Mountain.” It was an astonishing, dare I say unforgettable, reading. Everyone was moved. One person was crying. Listen for yourself. One hitch: the battery on the recording device died before the poem ends. So I include the final lines for you below: One small fly in the ointment: You described headlights sweeping a field On a summer night, do you remember? I can quote to you The lines. You said you could sense the heartbeat Of the living and the dead. It was a night in July, he said, In Pennsylvania – to me then an almost inconceivably romantic name – And then the air was humid and smelled of wet earth after rain. I remember this night very well. Those lines not so much.

February 3rd, 2020 In school, character is fate.” (Courtesy Vassar Archives) You think the coronavirus is bad? Novelist Mary McCarthy will tell you about about one of the epic plagues of modern times. Both her indulgent, fun-loving parents died during the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. Then she and her three brothers were shuttled among relatives, some of them abusive. In her 1957 book, Memories of a Catholic Girlhood , she describes it all with merciless wit and frankness. Now her book is coming to Stanford. It will be discussed at the Another Look winter event at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, February 19, at the Bechtel Conference Center in Encina Hall. She was first sent to a Catholic convent school in Seattle, later to an Episcopalian seminary in Tacoma. While appreciating the classical foundation her Catholic education gave her, she defiantly and publicly lost her faith during those years – first as a stunt, then in earnest. She eventually graduated from Vassar. Toby is leading the discussion. “She never spares herself at all,” wrote Charles Poore in The New York Times . “The vanities and ambitions, the resentments and misunderstandings, the small triumphs and the scarring disasters that marked her early years are set forth with remarkable candor, so that her book is the most incisive contribution to the story of her development as an artist that we shall ever have.” She was “harshly given every opportunity to become one of the lost, and yet went on to create in modern idioms a style based on classic Latin satire.” The conversation will be led by author Tobias Wolff , founding director of Another Look and a National Medal of Arts winner. Panelists include his wife, the author Catherine Wolff and Another Look regular Inga Pierson , a former Stanford fellow who brings some personal experience to bear on the subject: she is an English teacher at Sacred Heart Preparatory in Menlo Park. Inga’s coming, too. The event is free and open to the public. Come early for best seats. And Stanford Bookstore on campus, Kepler’s in Menlo Park, and Bell’s Books in Palo Alto are carrying the books. The Another Look book club focuses on short classics that have been forgotten, neglected, or overlooked—or may simply not have received the attention they merit. The selected works are short, in order to encourage the involvement of Bay Area readers whose time may be limited. Subscription at anotherlook.stanford.edu is encouraged for regular updates and details on the selected books and events.

We’ve written about the children’s author, Mary Pope Osborne , before here . She is the author of the Magic Tree House series, which has sold more than 100 million copies and been translated into 30 languages – success by any standards. The series has been awarded by the National Council of Teachers of English, the American Booksellers Association, and she also received the Ludington Memorial Award from the Educational Paperback Association and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Random House Sales Force. In the video, she’s discusses the first books that form a bridge into the rest of your life. “I feel like the first books are some of the most important things that fall into your lap in your life. And you have to treasure them for what they did for you. …They were eye-opening and stayed with me. To this day, I can recreate the thrill I had when I first heard them, when I was just three or four years old. In high school, I wouldn’t have survived without reading.” Full video below. It’s short. Three minutes. (Hat tip to Paul Caringella ) Tags: Mary Pope Osborne Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments » The wild parrots Telegraph Hill are famous – but have you seen the parrots of Palo Alto? January 27th, 2020 At Waverley and Forest: “We were simply amazed to see so many parrots on one true, and more flying in the sky. The tree was full of them and they were eating berries,” says Melonie Chang Brophy, who took the photo. One of my favorite memories in São Paulo was how the trees in the neighborhood were filled with brilliantly colored chattering parakeets. I didn’t think I’d see them this in North America, even on the warmer side of the continent. But here we are. You’ve heard of San Francisco’s The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill ? Welc...
