Holiday print offer, plus some updates..
If you'd made a habit of checking out this blog on a regular basis at some point, you may have noticed I've been doing a really lousy job of updating it. The reason for that is simple. In september I was offered to join a new blogging community called Pixiq.com, where I've been doing my best to regularly post informative (and hopefully entertaining) articles on any things photography related. Seeing as how it has to be "photography related", I'm not going to abandon my own blog completely, since I'm allowed to write whatever the hell I want on here I've just been too busy to do so.
Since I'm mentioning the pixiq blog, I'm gonna go ahead and mention too that I get payed a little bit for it, but only if I reach a mininum number of page views each month. So if you appreciate the effort I put into my work, have perhaps been doing so for years, but are unable to afford to buy my prints or sweaters, you can actually show me a great deal of support just by bookmarking the pixiq blog, checking it out regularly, and sharing it around on twitter or facebook if you enjoy it. Thanks.
Now, recently I've added quite a few new prints to my print store (click on the pictures to view pricing and sizes available):
I have a bonus print offer going on. Until January 6th, (the official "last day of Christmas" in Iceland) , a free 18×28 cm print, of any image featured in the shop, (http://rebekka.myshopify.com/collections/all) will be included with any print orders of 145$ or more (price without shipping cost).
Again, here's a link to the store catalog:
If you're interested in taking advantage of this offer, just send an email to email@example.com , after placing your order, to let me know which bonus print you'd like.Read 12 comments

In presence of the Principal of Daffodils Convent Inter College Piyush Mishra, Prof (Dr) Rama Kant motivated students and staff to resolve not to use tobacco and encourage others who use it to quit before it is too late.
"According to Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), smokeless tobacco contains 28 cancer-causing agents (carcinogens). Smokeless tobacco is a known cause of human cancer; it increases the risk of developing cancer of the oral cavity" said Prof (Dr) Rama Kant, current Executive Director, Piles To Smiles Clinics.
Prof (Dr) Rama Kant, who is the former Head of the Surgery Department, and past Chief Medical Superintendent, CSM Medical University (erstwhile KGMC).
"Smokeless tobacco use during pregnancy increases the risks for preeclampsia (i.e., a condition that may include high blood pressure, fluid retention, and swelling), premature birth, and low birth weight" said Prof (Dr) Rama Kant. "Smokeless tobacco use by men causes reduced sperm count and abnormal sperm cells" said Prof (Dr) Rama Kant on infertility related hazards of tobacco use.
Prof (Dr) Rama Kant.
"Adolescents who use smokeless tobacco are more likely to become cigarette smokers. Just like supari-based non-tobacco mouth freshners are often the precursors to using tobacco for children and youth" said Prof (Dr) Rama Kant.
Rahul Kumar Dwivedi, Shobha Shukla, Ritesh Arya, and Anand Pathak were also present during the discussion. The programme was jointly organized by Citizens for Healthy Lucknow (CHL) Campaign, Indian Society Against Smoking (ISAS), Abhinav Bharat Foundation (ABF), and Asha Parivar.

Open Access Week 2018

Some concerned rumbling over at Terra Nova and elsewhere about the kiddification of MMOs. I know for my part I will never be able to watch a My Little Pony commercial without thinking of the WoW guild name My Little Pwny. Ah, fun puns. They were forced to change the name, but the problem remains: designing for the youngest common denominator.
I'm going to go against the grain and say this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Animation has been dealing with this problem for quite some time, and you'd be surprised what you can pull off for a young demographic. Furthermore, changing guild names to be more pre-teen friendly is benign compared to some of the kiddification animation writers have had to deal with. How about attacking a spaceship without lasers?
Worse case scenarios, here's some possible design changes to make WoW even more kid-friendly:
Feign death –> Feign sleep. Enemies are too nice to wake you up.
Backstab –> Nunny nunny boo boo. You tap your opponent on the back then disappear, doing annoying damage.
Sheeping –> Sheeping. But you can't attack a sheep cuz they're soooo cute!
Got us started — anyone else want to try their hand kiddifying WoW powers or quests?

The North Course at Torrey Pines Golf Course was recently reopened following a comprehensive nine-month, $12.6 million renovation of the city-owned property.
A statement from the city of San Diego said the renovation was designed by famed golfer and course architect Tom Weiskopf. All 18 greens were completely reconstructed to U.S. Golf Association standards, with existing poa annua grass replaced with 100 percent bent grass.
Officials said the course's front and back nine holes were also reversed, allowing golfers panoramic ocean and canyon views as they finish their rounds. The renovated course's bunkers were reduced from 59 to 41, and the average green size increased from 4,500 to 6,400 square feet.
The renovation also included replacement of car paths and improvements to irrigation systems. Work was completed on time and on budget.
Weiskopf heads Arizona-based Weiskopf Design Group, which has completed 60 golf course design projects in the U.S. and Europe since 1985.
"Switching the nines is very significant because the back nine is so iconic with its incredible views," Weiskopf said in the statement. "The larger greens allow for more pin placements and more variety, and we've taken out bunkers but kept others that are strategically placed."
Officials said the North Course has been lengthened in total by nearly 200 yards from the tips. There are now five sets of tees, allowing the course to play as long as 7,258 yards or as short as 5,197 yards.
The North Course was originally designed by William F. Bell and opened in 1957. Torrey Pines is a public course owned and maintained by the city, and its more famous South Course has hosted events including the 2008 U.S. Open and the upcoming 2021 U.S. Open.
Officials said the North Course averages approximately 82,000 rounds of play annually.

" The company is now close enough that it could announce the product by late 2012, releasing it to consumers by 2013."
The pieces are falling into place. A 2012-2013 release for a television incorporating Siri AI technology could explain why the iPhone 4s was released with a "beta" version of Siri this month. Another year or so of tweaking Siri's responses to millions of voice commands will doubtlessly lead to a more refined product, ready for the living room.

Health officials are trying to cope with what they believe is an outbreak of Influenza A at a small hospital near Victoria.
The director of infection prevention and control for the Vancouver Island Health Authority says 11 people at the Saanich Peninsula Hospital became sick with flu-like symptoms over the weekend.
Dr. Pamela Kibsey says the hospital is acting fast to try to contain the outbreak.
"We've restricted visitors. We've restricted patients to their rooms and common activities and so forth," she said.
"If it is Influenza A, then we will be going further to treat the patients affected with Tamiflu and also offer Tamiflu to all of the health care providers that work there."
Kibsey says the hospital is already short-staffed due to illness and may find it difficult to cope if more staff members fall ill.
Of the two main types of influenza, A can be more serious than the generally milder B.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
Understanding seasonal affective disorder (SAD)
SAD is a real medical condition that can affect anyone, even people who are not already predisposed to depression. The condition is more common in women than in men. Most people who develop SAD start experiencing symptoms in their 30s. Most people with SAD live in northern climates where there are shorter days in the winter months. Their symptoms begin to lessen in the spring when the amount of sunlight increases each day.
The business case for banishing the winter blues at work
Is it spring yet? For some people, cold weather and lack of sunshine can trigger a type of depression more serious than winter blahs. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and other mental illnesses are rarely talked about at work and often carry serious stigma for those impacted.

I promised on Wednesday that I wouldn't get preachy about staying green in the kitchen. In a way, that was because putting together an authoritative guide to environmentally friendly practices sounded daunting — everyone's lifestyle and priorities are so different.
So, I asked around, on twitter and facebook and by email.
Here's what some of my favorite food writers, photographers, bloggers, chefs, and eaters do in their own kitchens to keep them on track as environmentally aware food lovers. Read on to be inspired by diligent composters, green cleaners, and the many uses of coffee grounds.
**A Green, Clean Kitchen**
"I clean "greenly!" I tend to skip the pricey "green" products and use stuff right from the pantry like white vinegar + add water." –Sarah De Heer, online editor for FoodNetwork.com and FN Dish, @sarahdeheer
"I buy as much as possible in bulk to limit waste…also big on composting. And green cleaning…" –Winnie Abramson, food writer and photographer, Healthy Green Kitchen, @winnieabramson
"For a green kitchen, I obsessively don't waste. Roast veggies before they go bad and freeze for later. Turn herbs into pesto. Etc!" -Rachel Mount, food editor at Readers Digest, @onebiteworld
"In my kitchen all the food scraps go to the chickens at the community garden. All the eggs & lots of the veggies come from there too!" –Karen Milling, @buriedcarrots
"Cook the Book means that I have a pretty intense shopping trip to tackle each week. Instead of driving to the Whole Foods or Wegmans I make the trek on foot. Good for both my carbon footprint and my figure. And when I do have to drive I use Philly Car Share." -Caroline Russock, food writer at Serious Eats and iVillage, @carolinerussock
"Compost and recycle the trash!" –Luisa Weiss, author of My Berlin Kitchen, food writer at Wednesday Chef, @wednesdaychef
"I keep all of my vegetable scraps and trash (onion peels and all) for vegetable stock!" –Lily Bellow, managing editor at Small Kitchen College, @bgskcollege
"I reuse brewed coffee grinds. Collect them in a jar, bring them in the shower, use as a body scrub!" -Marnely Rodriguez, baker and food writer at Cooking with Books, @nella22
"We do a couple of things at my house to be green–really basic stuff: the recycling bin's right behind the trash (convenience and ease are key with three little boys), I fill the sink halfway for washing dishing and quick-rinse all at once so the water's not running and wasting, and I decant: we buy a lot of big items and store them in reusable containers–cuts down on packaging and saves a little money!" -Deb Puchalla, VP digital editorial for FoodNetwork.com, Food.com, and CookingChannelTV.com. , @debpuchalla
"Pyrex storage; all-at-once roasting (minimize oven use); urban composying; scraps-to-stock; cook rice with whey left from ricotta-making." -Rivka Friedman, blogger at Not Derby Pie, @NotDerbyPie
"Come up with recipes that make it easy for all of our friends to eat consciously. :)" –Ecosalon
"Always clean my plate? 😉 No, I use reusable containers for to-go coffee, leftovers, etc. Also – tea/dish towels instead of paper!" –Maris Callahan, PR professional and blogger at In Good Taste, @mariscallahan
"I compost! I put all my veg scraps in the freezer, use some for stock, then take the rest to the compost stand at the farmers market." –Lukas Volger, @LukasVolger, author of Veggie Burgers Every Which Way and Vegetarian Entrees That Won't Leave You Hungry
"Store in glass. Buy very little or no packaged goods. Buy in bulk. Cook from scratch. Preserve. Use the whole animal. Buy organic." –Cathy Barrow, canning and jarring expert, cooking teacher, and food writer at MrsWheelbarrow.com, @MrsWheelbarrow
"Compost. I save all my veggie scraps and freeze them. I saved the beet peels to make dye for coloring hard boiled eggs – I made beet colored smoked trout mousse filled deviled eggs. They were pretty." –Jackie Gordon, singing chef, @divathatateny
"I use ONLY a water/vinegar solution to clean everythg (50/50) – & it works incredibly well. … also it's great around pets/children." –Olga Massov, food writer and recipe developer, Sassy Radish, @sassyradish
"Compost, avoid plastic, limit meat, run a full dishwasher, buy local, instill positive food values in my child." –Sara Kate Gillingham-Ryan, Founding Editor at TheKitchn, author of Good Food to Share, @sarakategr
"Use white vinegar to clean everything." -Melissa Clark, New York Times food columnist and author of Cook This Now, @goodappetite
"We are a big fan of building our stores and kitchens with bamboo; a great renewable resource!" -Just Salad, @justsalad
"I reuse ziplock bags after I wash them out. Alum foil that's wrapped around frozen cakes gets reused, too." -Gail Dosik, cookie baker extraordinaire at One Tough Cookie, @THEToughCookie
"I use only tote bags for grocery shopping and clean with baking soda and vinegar!" -Kelsey Banfield, author of The Naptime Chef, @TheNaptimeChef
"Sorry for just responding! I'd say my greenest thing this year is learning how to reuse almond plump from making almond milk. I try to use as much of the product I can, use natural cleaners&use glass containers. I wish I could compost, but don't have the space." –Jacquie Chamberlain, @sweetestthingNY
"Going #MeatlessMonday is one of the easiest ways to help the planet! In addition to cutting out meat 1x per week, we try to eat seasonally and celebrate fresh, locally sourced foods!" -Meatless Monday, @MeatlessMonday
"I teach people how to use the pressure cooker – make their own stock (5 minutes), cook beans from dry (soaked, 6 minutes). Save energy." -Jill Nussinow, culinary educator, dietician, and writer at The Veggie Queen, @theveggiequeen
As for me, I do my best not to waste even the saddest leftover or buy more than we can eat. When I can afford it, I buy organic veggies and free range meat, and I eat meat only a couple times a week anyway. I have to say I'm kind of floored by how many food people compost at home, or at least save scraps to bring to a communal composter. Defintiely something to aspire to, starting Monday.
From my kitchen, wishing you a happy, kitchen-centric Earth Day!, to yours,
Cara, THE QUARTER-LIFE COOK

Chicken empanadas are easy game day snacks that you can either bake or fry. This chicken empanadas recipe is filled with a creamy, spicy chicken and cheese mixture that's sure to be a hit with your favorite football fans! Of course, no game day snack is complete without a great dip and, for this easy empanadas recipe, I've chosen Heluva Good! Cheddar and Jalapeno Dip for a little extra cheesy goodness. This post was sponsored by Heluva Good! as part of an Ambassador Program and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.
For this recipe you'll need: Cooked chicken breast, Cream of chicken soup, cheddar cheese, chicken broth, onion, poblano, cilantro, cumin, butter, Cheddar cheese biscuit dough or your favorite unbaked biscuits, Heluva Good! Cheddar and Jalapeno DipJump to Recipe
Let's face it – no great Game Day party (or Tailgating party for that matter) ever got called great without a fantastic dip. Let the other party goers serve plain old chips with their dips (the plebians!) but we're going to step it up with these snack sized chicken empanadas and spicy Heluva Good! Cheddar and Jalapeno Dip. It's spicy, cheesy, Tex-Mex overload – exactly the kind of football party food that disappears first.
Heluva Good! Dip is available in the dairy section at your local store – it's easy to find pretty much anywhere. It comes in an assortment of flavors, each made with real sour cream and flavorful spices, including French Onion, Buttermilk Ranch, White Cheddar & Bacon, and Bodacious Onion. Any of those dips would work well with these easy chicken empanadas, too.
What Is an Empanada?
So, you may be wondering what in the world I am going on about when I say empanadas, especially if you aren't from Texas or one of the Southwestern areas of the United States.
Popular in Latin American countries, the empanada comes from Spain. The name is derived from a Spanish word, empanar, which means to wrap in bread. Empanadas of all kinds have been around since Medieval times.
Simply put, empanadas are pastry pockets filled with a spicy mixture and then usually deep fried. The filling can be any meat, cheese, bean, or vegetable and really is only limited by your imagination. They are super easy and you can even put them together, flash freeze them unbaked, and then bake them fresh right before your party!
How Do You Make Chicken Empanadas?
Wondering how to make authentic empanadas?
Ok – here's the thing. Everyone makes empanadas differently. Remember I said that the fillings could be any one of a variety of ingredients?
Well, same with the dough. Empanadas can be made with:
- Puff pastry
- Pie dough
- Biscuit dough
- Crescent roll dough
- Yeast dough
It's really up to you. For this chicken empanada recipe I've decided on my favorite cheese biscuit dough (link in the recipe) to add an extra layer of cheesy flavor.
Once you've decided on your dough you'll cut it in your desired size and place a little filling in the center. Fold the dough over to encase the filling and pinch to seal. That's really all there is to it!
See, I told you these were easy!
Can Empanadas Be Baked in an Oven?
Although the traditional empanada is deep fried I prefer to bake mine. It's quicker, easier, and less messy. Plus it saves a few calories, right?
[clickToTweet tweet="Empanadas are pastry pockets filled with a spicy mixture and then usually deep fried. Make them soon!" quote="Empanadas are pastry pockets filled with a spicy mixture and then usually deep fried. You can bake or fry these."]
To Bake Empanadas in an Oven:
- Preheat the oven to 425F.
- Brush empanadas with melted butter.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes depending on the size of the empanadas.
- Brush with melted butter and bake 5 minutes more, until golden.
- Serve hot.
To Fry Empanadas
- Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375.
- Gently drop empanadas into the oil, a few at a time.
- Fry until crispy and golden.
- Drain on absorbent paper.
Game's Over – What to Do with the Leftover Chicken Empanadas?
If you have leftover chicken empanadas (unlikely) just cover them and refrigerate them. I have a shelf in the fridge dedicated to the stuff my kids can eat for snacks — all the leftover bits and pieces. Chicken empanadas microwave just fine and my kids eat them for breakfast on the way out the door if they're available.
But the dip? Argh! If you are like me you hate, hate, hate wasting food and leftover dip seems to always get pushed back to the dark recesses of the fridge, am I right? No problem. Here are some great ways to use up your leftover Heluva Good! Cheddar and Jalapeno Dip.
- Tiny red potatoes can be steamed and put on toothpicks to be dipped with your chicken empanadas.
- Leftover Heluva Good! Cheddar and Jalapeno Dip is great as a sauce for boiled potatoes for a quick side dish.
- Warm is gently and spoon over cooked broccoli or cauliflower.
- Stir leftover dip into creamy soups for added flavor.
- Use as a spread on roast beef or ham sandwiches.
- Spoon into an omelet.
- Here's a novel idea – use it as a chip dip!
- Use as a dip for pretzels.

Charles Elwood Yeager Biography:
Aviator and test pilot Chuck Yeager was born on February 13, 1923, in Myra, West Virginia. A fighter pilot ace during the Second World War, he became the first person to break the sound barrier, when he flew the Bell X-1 rocket 670 miles per hour in level flight in October 1947.
He graduated in the Flight Performance School in 1946 as well as the following year was selected to test pilot the Bell X-1 rocket. After naming the jet "Glamorous Glennis" after his own wife, Yeager reached a top rate of 670 miles per hour on October 14, becoming the first person to break the sound barrier.
Within another couple of years, Yeager as well as the X 1 made more than 40 flights collectively, during which he repeatedly broke the speed of sound, reaching rates of 960 miles per hour and altitudes of 70,000 feet.
During WWII, Yeager was a P51 fighter pilot. He was shot down over France, evaded capture and escaped to Spain. He may have gone home, however he put in a request to go back to battle, a request that went all the way up to General Eisenhower. The request given, Yeager went back into action, as well as in one day he was credited with downing five German airplanes. Following the war, Yeager became the very first American to fly a Russian MIG, one that has been taken into detention in South Korea by a North Korean defector.
Yeager eventually reached a rate of 1,650 miles per hour and an elevation of over 90,000 feet, efforts that helped earn him the Distinguished Service Medal.
Yeager's autobiography, Press On, was released in 1985, the exact same year he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. On October 14, 1997, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Yeager breaking the sound barrier, the 74-year old aviator headed to the heavens once more and broke the sound barrier yet again. He appears as the principal character in Tom Wolfe's novel The Right Stuff, and his mythical status led him to many commercial sanctions.


text: DNR aims to clear up possession limit rules DNR aims to clear up possession limit rules The Department of Natural Resources has proposed rule changes to clear up ambiguity regarding possession limits for legally taken fish and wildlife that have a bag limit, without adversely affecting wildlife species or unnecessarily encumbering legal anglers and hunters. "There are varied opinions and interpretations of the existing possession limit rule that cause confusion within the fishing and hunting public" said Col. Scotty Wilson, director of DNR Law Enforcement. "Therefore, we're seeking a rule change to clearly define possession restrictions where a bag limit is established and at what point legally taken wild animals no longer count toward a possession limit."The Natural Resources Commission, an autonomous board that must approve rule changes requested by the DNR, granted preliminary adoption of the proposed change at its July 19 meeting. The measure is open for public comment on the NRC website (www.in.gov/nrc/2377.htm), which also includes full text of the proposed rule language. Public comments will be included in a report to the NRC prior to consideration of final adoption at a future date.A nine-month review of current regulations by two DNR divisions – Law Enforcement and Fish & Wildlife – prompted the agency to seek the change, which would exempt from the possession limit restriction legally taken wild animals that have been processed and stored at an individual's primary residence.Several other state wildlife agencies that were contacted as part of the review already have adopted similar rules. Currently, daily bag limit is defined (Indiana Code 14-8-2-18) as the quantity of individual wild animals that may be taken in one day of a specified season or during the entire season. For example, the daily bag limit for Northern pike is three. The daily bag limit for rabbits is five. Confusion begins with possession limit, which is intended to be twice the daily bag limit.However, common questions asked of the DNR point to the challenge of a universally accepted definition:Does possession limit apply only in the field, while at camp, cabin, or hotel?Does it include fish and wildlife stored at my home in my freezer?Do last season's rabbits still in my freezer count against this year?If I currently have two times the daily bag limit in my freezer, can I hunt/fish for that species again before using some of it?If not, what are the requirements for becoming legal? Do I have to eat it, give it away, or simply dispose of it to become "legal"?Does part of a wild animal, such as two hind legs of a rabbit, count as a full rabbit?Current fishing regulations complicate the issue, depending on where fish are caught. Daily bag limits only apply to public waters. Fish taken from private ponds or impoundments may be taken in any quantity."This proposal will clarify language that seems to make criminals out of someone simply because he or she is an avid and successful hunter or angler" Wilson said. These changes would not apply to migratory birds and waterfowl. U.S. Fish and Wildlife authorities interpret possession limit to include processed and stored specimens. Wilson said, "At this time we feel it would be too problematic to have state and/or federal laws that contradict each other on these particular species."

News Archives
The Brockway Area Historical Society has a database of notable events, such as weddings and deaths, that were published in the Brockway Record since its inception January 8, 1887 to its closure August 5, 1992.
When the papers were microfilmed, some issues were missing in whole or in part, and there were two periods when no papers were published. Several years after microfilming, a few papers were found which had not been microfilmed. Appropriate articles were extracted from these issues and placed in "Family Name Folders" at the Brockway Area Historical Society museum.
Although our microfilm archive is not totally complete, most editions printed prior to 10/5/1998 are available to obtain complete articles. Our microfilm has now been digitized in a Word searchable format and is available at the Taylor Memorial Museum along with the microfilm version. These archives also contain editions from 10/5/1988 to 8/5/1992. After searching this database, you may request a copy of the complete article referenced in the database by mail, email (

Each workshop lasts one hour and includes two topics with a rich Q & A session that follows each topic. The cost of each workshop is $200. To keep the quality of our Q & A sessions high, we ask that each workshop has in attendance fewer than 100 students. This allows us to reach each student with his or her question, break down barriers, promote healthy discussion and create kinder communities, now and in the future.
We have allocated funds for schools that are wanting our program but cannot afford to cover the cost per workshop. Please contact one of our TAP Directors either Rindy Bradshaw or Kirsten Sixt by email: email@example.com or by phone 416-964-9095 for more details about this available option.

Donna Seaman
An Interview with Kathryn Davis
Beginning with Labrador (1988), a tale of two young sisters that metamorphoses into a complex and otherworldly tale, Kathryn Davis has cast a spell that has held readers transfixed over the course of six original and affecting novels. Each is a fresh embarkation for Davis in which she illuminates a radically different realm in a distinctive and piquant narrative style and a unique blending of genres. Yet within each brilliantly imagined, often fantastic fictional realm, she seeks understanding of the mysterious workings of fate, especially the unpredictable spiral of events set in motion by human creativity and its evil twin, obsession. Fables, music, cuisine, diabolical computer software, architecture, metaphysics, and the life force itself drive her complex, genre-altering plots, and her adventurous characters, most of them young women.
The Girl Who Trod on a Loaf (1993) tells the story of two women, one a composer working on an opera based on a Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale. Hell (1998), a blend of mystery and surreal fantasy, transforms domesticity into an eerie hall-of-mirrors reflecting both horror and sublimity. Beguiling and bracing, The Walking Tour metamorphoses from a literary novel about two couples traveling in Wales, into an elegant mystery that stealthily acquires the aura of science fiction. In Versailles (2002), Davis creates a curious form of historical fiction as she considers the extravagance of the Sun King's palace and the fate of Marie Antoinette.
Drawing on everything from creation stories to myth, mysticism, fairy tales, the stories of saints and miracles, nature's myriad forms, and quantum physics, Davis traces the great singing web of life and the long-fingered shadow of death. The earth itself is as much a character in her fiction as human beings, and in her most recent novel, The Thin Place, animal and plants are also brought to conscious life as she explores the permeable divide between the past and the present, the living and the dead, the natural and the supernatural, the human and the divine.
This conversation took place when Kathryn Davis came to Chicago in February 2006, a visit that included an appearance on Open Books, on WLUW.
I've been laughing over something Joy Press at the Village Voice wrote about you. She described you as the lovechild of Virginia Woolf and Lewis Carroll. I imagine that you were influenced by these seminal writers.
Oh, absolutely. The very earliest book I was infatuated with was Alice in Wonderland. When I was in third grade we were supposed to bring our favorite book to school. The teacher was going to read from it, but when I brought in Alice in Wonderland, she made me take it home. She said that it really wasn't a book for children, which was a surprise to me because my mother had read it to me from day one. This was an interesting moment for me because it made me feel as though something that I cherished had something a little bit edgy about it, or something a little beyond the pale, and that made me love it all the more.
I encountered Virginia Woolf in high school when I saw Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and asked my English teacher "So why is this called Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and he handed me To the Lighthouse and said, "Take a look." I bonded with that book in the same way as I did with Alice in Wonderland. I don't think they're similar, but I did feel like they were written for me.
I think the fact that Carroll and Woolf are such different writers relates to part of what intrigues me about your fiction, which is the tension in your novels. There are at least two opposing forces at work, high literary writing like that of Virginia Woolf and Henry James, and elements of thrillers or speculative fiction. Can you explain how that happens?
I think it happens because of who I am and what I am interested in. Increasingly I feel that I want to make sure that what I write about is what I am interested in. I love detective fiction. I've read murder mysteries for almost as long as I've read Alice in Wonderland. My mother doled them out to me, especially Agatha Christie books. And I've also had a real taste for speculative fiction of one sort or another, which is, I think, the legacy of Alice in Wonderland. The idea that you can enter another world is just one of the things that keeps me from feeling bored with life on this planet, that you could open a door and find something unexpected. So that's who I am, and there's no way to avoid it. If I wanted to write something that was all one thing I don't think I could.
I can't help but think, if you were the sort of writer intent on writing commercially successful books, you could write straight-ahead detective stories. But clearly that ambition isn't part of your sensibility or mission.
I have thought about that. And I've discussed this with one of my friends, the poet Louise Glück. She also loves detective fiction, so we've talked about writing it, even about pairing up and writing a detective novel together.
But the truth is neither one of us would really want to do that. When I wrote The Walking Tour, I thought initially that I might try to write a fairly traditional murder mystery. But then I remembered all the things I don't like about murder mysteries. There's the ending, where the detective sits everybody down and says, "Here's what happened, and here's what he did and what she did." That is always boring to me. Or if there's a chase of some kind, I find that very boring. So I didn't want to put the boring parts in, and, of course, if you leave those out you're not going to make money writing murder mysteries.
I like your hybrid approach. The Walking Tour combines thriller elements with some subtle, scary, futuristic stuff in a tale about, in part, the diabolical aspects of the imagination.
With The Walking Tour, I wanted to write about two couples. That was where it started. It was based loosely on two couples I knew in which the husbands had gone into business together. I thought that was a very interesting set-up for a novel. And then I went to Wales for only three days, but it really made a huge impression on me, so I thought, "Oh I want them to go to Wales, they'll go on a walking tour." And so pieces of the story accumulated over time. I was thinking about it before I was ready to begin writing it. And in the meantime, although I could never call myself computer literate, I was beginning to use a computer and having a lot of trouble with it. I actually experienced what happens in The Walking Tour, where the text drains out the bottom of the screen and drains into a completely different file. No one could ever explain to me why that happened, but I thought it was diabolical. And I thought that there was also the potential for something going on with computers that now seems actually to be the case, where people can get their hands on things you have written and make changes based on their own wishes. That combined with the idea that there is no real ownership of this material led me to think about the frightening aspect of this technology. Without being a technophile, I had a lot of opinions. And so I found myself wanting to project that into a not-too-distant future where the consequences could be visible in some way.
I'm fascinated with the way you contrast artifice with nature. They share a certain dynamic because human beings are part of nature, and what we do is inherently organic, yet our creativity results in inventions that are detrimental to the rest of life. That's a difficult thing to get at in fiction in a subtle and meaningful way.
As I get older, it becomes clear to me that that is one of my obsessions. In The Thin Place, for instance, the ways in which we mess around with the natural world, the dire consequences of that, are beginning to trouble me more than anything else, and yet there are the good aspects of art and artifice as well. I mean, we make beautiful things that we then handle irresponsibly. In The Walking Tour the beautiful things become foul and demonic.
You also work with that paradox in Versailles. You bring the reader to this amazing place, the Sun King's realm, where he has aligned himself with the sun and built these glorious gardens that are creations of both nature and human beings. And yet this beautiful place is the site of violence and suffering. This is the edge your work explores.
Yes. You know, I think that's partly because I feel as though it's a privilege to make art. This comes from my background. I went to a Friends' high school in Philadelphia. And there was an enormous social awareness component to my education. So there's a part of me that looks at my fellow graduates, who have now gone out into the world and are doing things like running the Burma Borders Project, and other really good hands-on work to try to make the world better, and there I am sitting in my room sort of doodling around, making stuff up. So that leads me to think about the creation of a privileged artificial world like Versailles, which is very beautiful to look at but doesn't really do anybody any good, except maybe two or three people. That troubles me, so I want to write about it. I want to write about what troubles me to try to understand it.
I don't want to give the impression that your books are in anyway polemic or overtly message-oriented. They are not. And yet, I can't help but ask you if following the news about the state of the natural world (I'm thinking about the mounting evidence of global warming) influences your work.
I am very alarmed and enraged as well that things are being changed in these ways, that there's no going back, there's no fixing these things. It seemed to me that it was also clear with the storms that we've been experiencing that it's not an accident that Katrina overwhelmed New Orleans. I think we're much closer to the point where things like that are going to be happening regularly than anyone wants to believe. And yet we're told there are good economic reasons not to monkey around with greenhouse gas emissions.
The gap between reality and that sort of stubbornly profit-oriented attitude is shocking, and the fact that we've been hearing about global warming for decades is infuriating. If there is a future civilization able to look back at this, they will have fun writing about how foolish people were in the twentieth century.
I do hope there's somebody around to say how foolish we were because sometimes it seems like that will not be the case. It really makes me feel sad because the world is really a beautiful thing, I mean it's also a horrible thing, but it will be so sad to lose certain things.
That's so much of what The Thin Place is about. I wonder if you could explain the title.
The thin place is a term from Celtic mythology. I first heard about it when I was visiting a friend who was a lay member of a religious community, a bunch of sisters at a convent in Peekskill. They were talking about how they were going to have to sell the place where they lived because they couldn't afford to keep up these huge, gorgeous, drafty buildings for only a handful of nuns. They were sad to be leaving, they said, because it was a thin place. I'd never heard the phrase before, so I asked what it meant and one of the sisters explained that a thin place is a place where the membrane between this world and the other world -- the world of spirit, the part of life we can't see -- is very, very weak. So things leak back and forth between the two. I knew then that that was my title. I didn't know precisely where the book was going to be set. I thought maybe it was going to be the seashore, a place I've always wanted to visit, but this wasn't the book to do that. I also knew that there were going to be lots of living things in it. That was kind of all I knew.
The Thin Place is full of creatures. I think of it as a symphony of consciousnesses.
You tune into the consciousnesses of dogs and cats, and even plants, corn and lichen. You capture the energy and sense of constant communication and communion in nature.
You know, it just occurred to me this very minute that I've been saying that what I wanted to do in The Thin Place was something like what Flaubert did in the novella A Simple Heart where the narrative dips in and out of the sensibilities of different people in this little village in Normandy in France. But what I'm now realizing is that the giving voice to everything actually is exactly what both Lewis Carroll and Virginia Woolf do. It just dawned on me. Literally in Lewis Carroll things are always talking that do not normally talk. And Virginia Woolf also spends a lot of time deep inside of the sensibilities of people and place; there's a feeling of place having a kind of presence.
Exactly. Everything is meshed in Virginia Woolf. Even as she moves from one character's mind to another, in, say, Mrs. Dalloway, she doesn't let you forget that nothing is isolated, that all these inner and outer voices overlap and intertwine, which is what you do in The Thin Place.
Another striking aspect of The Thin Place is the witty narrator. I think of it as a she, and find her omniscient in a very interesting way. How did you channel this voice?
Well, it's interesting that you hear the omniscient narrator as female because it is me. What I wanted to do was give myself complete license to talk about the way the world presents itself to me as if I could hover above the place that I'm describing. Not too far above; I can see everything and sort of swoop in and out. I wanted that feeling because I think that is what interests me about being a part of life, of the world, that there is all of this stuff going on all at the same time. I am, I think, 99% curiosity. I mean, I would not hesitate to put a glass to a door to try and listen to a conversation going on on the other side. I'm living in a duplex apartment right now and I'm so interested in the noises overhead, trying to figure out what's happening. So that's what I really am interested in. And that is where the narrative point of view came from for The Thin Place.
You're eavesdropping on the cosmos.
And looking at it. Someone said it was like looking at a drop of water under a microscope and seeing everything teeming. I feel like that's it, that you focus on this, focus on that, get a better look at this person's face, what this person is saying to that person, what this cat is thinking as it scampers off.
I think part of the strength of your novels is that they embody a sense of freedom, a liberated imagination. Art is all about freedom, yet so many artists and writers in our culture -- a culture that undervalues art and is threatened by art -- tend to hold back, to settle for being merely entertaining, predictable. Your novels feel unfettered, and that is a thrill.
It makes me so happy to hear you say that. I've also always thought that there would be no point in doing this if I wasn't doing what I wanted to do, of course taking into account that I want people to read what I write. I don't want to feel confined by any sense of, "If I wrote this kind of a book I would gain a wider audience." The reason I write is to be able to exercise that sort of freedom of the imagination, see where it takes me, and learn more about myself and the world and the people around me.
The Thin Place is full of prose poems, lush paragraphs in which you tell us all about a certain animal, or a plant. Did you read a lot of natural history or science textbooks?
Some. But The Thin Place is much less researched than say, Versailles. I would occasionally look something up when I wanted a piece of factual information. Someone had given me a really wonderful book, a field guide to the life in and around ponds and streams, and I just loved that book and used it for the names of the little microscopic creatures living in the water. I'm obsessed with murder mysteries and cookbooks and field guides. I love field guides. I love to look up something that you've found in the world and you want to know what it is. And I've also read them thinking, "Maybe one day I'll see one of those, if I'm lucky."
So in The Thin Place we have all this life, all these organisms, all this activity, and we also have cosmology. We have a church, a school, an old persons' home...
The key institutions.
And a trinity of girls on the brink of womanhood. I'm guessing one of them, Lorna, who is hoping to be a writer and who is reading Agatha Christie, is closest to you.
She is. After I created those three girls and set them loose in the book, it was clear to me that I had used pieces of me and my friends. And ever since I was very young, I've often found myself in trios, which is a difficult combination for girls, starting with the street I grew up on with Peggy and Ellen, where we used to fight with one another about who was going to be Nancy when we played Nancy Drew. None of us really lines up precisely with Sunny, Mees, and Lorna in The Thin Place. I put a little bit of myself into each of them, and a little bit of other friends I've had over the years so that they're composites. In some ways I identify with Lorna, and in some ways Lorna is very much like my friend Elaine, an adult friend of mine. There are unattractive qualities in Sunny that I feel I share, so it's a mixture.
The Thin Place runs on several time tracks, the present seen from various perspectives, and different layers of the past, some geologic, some illuminated in a diary kept during the 1800s. And you work on different scales, from the cosmic perspective, the bird's-eye-view, and the microscopic. This simultaneity is the ultimate realism.
I do think it's very realistic.
The Thin Place is lavishly plotted, but there is also a metaphysical discussion going on. I'm intrigued with your interest in the soul. Versailles is narrated by your fictionalized version of Marie Antoinette, and the novel's opening sentence is: "My soul is going on a trip."
I guess that's another of my preoccupations, and I think that one goes back as far as I can remember. I remember hearing about the fact that we have a soul when I was a very little child. I went to church with my parents and didn't understand what a soul was, but I thought about it a lot, and about the fact that I was alive. I was obsessed with the idea that there was something about me that might continue after I died, and it upset me. I became kind of an insomniac, worried about the idea of forever and ever. That the soul would endure forever just seemed horrifying. It's something I have thought about obsessively my whole life long, and I'm really interested in what it is that gives us life, that makes us not just be a table. So, that's very interesting to me, and I guess you should write about what interests you. I'm always going to write about that even if I'm trying very hard to stop myself from doing it.
That explains a lot of what goes on in The Thin Place. I don't want to reveal too much, but Mees, who is named after a river, has a gift, a power that depends on the idea of a thin place, of being able to cross over between worlds of the living and the dead. You write about animal souls as well as human souls. Your cats and beavers embody intelligence and spirit, and you refer to Inuit stories, which are based on the belief that animals are wholly sentient beings. This was a nearly universal belief in pre-industrial cultures.
I think I've always believed it, too. My parents did a lot of things wrong, frankly, but one thing they did right was to instill in us early on a love of animals. My father was also a gardener.
Certainly we knew that when you look into an animal's eyes, you see the light of more than brute force. And the beavers, well, that is a very autobiographic part of the book. I don't think I've talked about this, but I lived by a pond in Vermont that was fed by a larger lake. It's a very beautiful pond with a waterfall, one of the beauty spots of the village, and people come and take pictures of it. When beavers built a dam at the lip of the big lake, the water stopped flowing into the pond, and so the pond, just like in The Thin Place, turned into a kind of mud bog. Everybody was very upset, so the neighborhood banded together. First we dismantled the beavers' dam, and it was very hard to do. You had to put on work gloves because they put in frighteningly sharp things as the beavers became increasingly determined to prevent us from dismantling the dam. So we would take the dam down and the water would come in, and the pond would start to fill up, and then everybody would go to sleep, and while we were asleep the beavers would go out and build the dam back up again. And what happened was, me, the great animal lover, became filled with murderous hate for the beavers. Then we hired a beaver trapper, and he put some traps in the pond, and that didn't work. The beavers are quite devious, it turns out. I finally gave up, and just decided I wasn't going to worry about it any more, but I hadn't changed my opinion of the beavers. When I started to write about the beavers in the book, though, I was appalled that I'd ever wanted to murder the beavers. I became really interested in their lives and the grace of their project even though it was so infuriating, and I felt horrible that I'd contributed any money to hire the beaver trapper.
This makes me think about the brilliant biologist, E. O. Wilson, who has written brilliantly about animal architecture, including beaver dams. And about biophilia, humankind's affinity for other living beings, our love and need for animals. Yet in spite of our innate biophilia, we've been engaged, since the dawn of human consciousness, in a great campaign against animals, not only killing them, but also destroying their habitats. You write about this with great sensitivity in The Thin Place.
It really does break my heart every time I hear about an animal that is either extinct or nearing extinction. I'm living in St. Louis now, and I live within walking distance of Forest Park, which is where the zoo is located. It's a great zoo and it's free, so you can just stroll in and take a look. I like to watch the guy feed the penguins. But a lot of the animals there are animals on the verge of extinction, and it's really upsetting.
It's so hard to address this overtly in fiction without betraying the story.
As you mentioned earlier, I certainly didn't want to write a polemic. I would never want to do that, and I hope that my concerns are sufficiently interwoven with my wish to be telling a story and creating an interesting world.
Not only do you avoid preachiness, you also manage to be funny even while contemplating the dark side.
I think that one way you create humor is to combine the sense of the darkness of the world combined with an interest in or curiosity about life. This is what I inherited from my father, who took a very dim view of certain aspects of our existence, but also took delight in the way the dachshund looked running across the floor.
There resides hope, I would say, in the imagination, in our ability to discern beauty under nearly any circumstances, and to find humor, too, even in grim situations. To be able to recognize how absurd life is, how hilarious, how wonderfully, wickedly entertaining it all is. These traits are part of our survival instincts, I'm sure.
Hope is a good word. I can feel very, very pessimistic. Even hopeless, with hope meaning being able to look ahead and imagine that there is a future. I do think that in the particulars of the world around us, if we don't stamp them all out and destroy them, there is cause for hope.
I think hope resides, too, in precisely the sensibility that you bring to your novels, a vital curiosity, a persistent habit of looking outside ourselves and enjoying the whole experience of being alive, the dark and the light. I think it's quite an artistic feat to be able to convey this state of mind and spirit in a novel.
I'm glad it comes across.
Many booklovers worry that the novel is losing ground in our culture. What is your impression of the state of the novel? Are people reading novels, do you hear from readers?
I do hear from some readers. I've been really happy with the response to this book because it seems as though more people have laid their hands on it and are reading it with more interest and enthusiasm. I've had conversations with people who say to me, as if I will share with them their astonishment that they've read the book, "I've never heard of you but I really like your book!" So that's encouraging.
I know that there's been a lot of talk pro and con about Oprah's Book Club, but I think that she's done a great service for literature. Certainly some of the books she's gotten people reading are remarkable, and that is cause for hope. I'm very sad that all the little independent booksellers are collapsing under the weight of the megastores, but then the fact that there are the megastores and people buying the books in them is good. So I don't know that I can generalize. I think that students tend to be more film-literate than book-literate, and I don't know what that's going to mean for the future of literature.
Books are the perfect object, the perfect media, the perfect art form, and I just have to believe they're going to continue to exist. I love film too, but I believe the best films are based on good writing. And I believe that culture will remain inclusive. Television didn't destroy radio, DVDs and computer games won't replace books.
I think that's true, and I also don't believe that anything can replace the actual object of the book, because people don't like to read on computer screens, they don't like to just print stuff out and have a big pile of papers that can blow away. A book is a very satisfying object. The last time I was in New York City, everybody on the subway was reading. That made me feel cheerful. So it doesn't seem like people have stopped reading books, but something is changing, maybe in ways that are bad, and maybe in ways that are good and interesting, or, the two together.
Each art form does something that other art forms can't, and, to circle back to the beginning of our conversation, what literature, the most intimate form, does better than anything else is reveal the workings of the mind, and let us experience what it's like to be in someone else's head.
That's why I like books and writing, too, because you can have that and you can convey that to someone else's imagination. Literature is the communication between imaginations.
Another thing about reading that's so satisfying is that you're recreating the book as you read it, and everyone reads a different book.
That's right, and every time you read something, you recreate it differently. I've been very much enjoying rereading my favorite books from the past. You can see how you have changed when you return to something that you've read when you were eighteen years old. I've been rereading Anna Karenina in the new translation. It's just phenomenally good. I read Anna Karenina for the first time, idiotically, when I was in sixth grade because it was the thickest book I could find, and because it had a girl's name for the title. But I didn't even know what the word "adultery" meant, so I read this entire bazillion-page book without having any idea what it was about.
And yet you got something out of it, a lot really.
Yes, and I still love Tolstoy, although now I see more of what he's doing than what I did then. And I still love all the stuff about the dresses, the dresses are good.
