A City Ramble in the Spirit of Robert Walser

On April 22, 2013

“We don’t need to see anything out of the ordinary. We already see so much.” -Robert Walser

I first came across Robert Walser’s writings in the 2011 edition of Microscripts. He had an affinity for writing short stories and essays using an early German script called Kurrent. I tried to forget about this beautiful book, Microscripts, but I never really did. And now my love for Robert Walser freely abounds with the gorgeous new book A Little Ramble: In the Spirit of Robert Walser, published New Directions. As with all of Robert Walser’s writings, you will want to take A Little Ramble in slowly.

If you’re interested in Robert Walser, leave a comment below. We will be getting in more of his books in the next week that will find their place on Lemuria’s shelves and maybe yours, too!

Robert Walser can make me feel really sentimental as my walking paths in Austria come very close to his paths in Germany and Switzerland. Surely, he walked some beautiful ways in Austria, too?

I don’t quite live in the picture-postcard Austria any longer but we do have many beautiful places in Mississippi. And maybe they are all the more special because they are not as obvious. Over the past few weeks I have been enjoying my own little ramble in downtown Jackson along the levee and down some beautiful paths along the Pearl River. Enjoy Robert Walser’s ramble in words and my ramble in photos below.

A Little Ramble:

I walked through the mountains today. The weather was damp, and the entire region was gray. But the road was soft and in places very clean. At first I had my coat on; soon, however, I pulled it off, folded it together, and laid it upon my arm. The walk on the wonderful road gave me more and ever more pleasure; first it went up and then descended again. The mountains were huge, they seemed to go around. The whole mountainous world appeared to me like an enormous theater. The road snuggled up splendidly to the mountainsides. Then I came down into a deep ravine, a river roared at my feet, a train rushed passed me with magnificent white smoke. The road went through the ravine like a smooth white stream, and as I walked on, to me it was if the narrow valley were bending and winding around itself. Gray clouds lay on the mountains as though they were their resting place. I met a young traveler with a rucksack on his back, who asked if I had seen two other young fellows. No, I said. Had I come from very far? Yes, I said, and went farther on my way. Not a long time, and I saw and heard the two young wanderers pass by with music. A village was especially beautiful with humble dwellings set thickly under the white cliffs. I encountered a few carts, otherwise nothing, and I had seen some children on the highway. We don’t need to see anything out of the ordinary. We already see so much.

-Robert Walser

Book Club Registry Application

Are you looking to join a book club? Lemuria hosts two book clubs that are open to our community.

The Lost Book Club of Atlantis

(open to the public)

The Lost Book Club of Atlantis began in 2006 and is facilitated by a Lemuria bookseller. Atlantis reads contemporary and modern fiction along with an occasional nonfiction selection chosen by a Lemuria bookseller.

This book club meets the first Thursday of every month at Noon in Lemuria’s Dot Com Building across the parking lot from Banner Hall. Feel free to bring your lunch. If you are interested in joining, stop by the bookstore and say hello to Lisa or e-mail her at lisa@lemuriabooks.com to be added to the e-mail list. Click here for more details and to see the reading list.

“A good book should leave you slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading it.” -William Styron

The Cereus Readers Book Club

(open to the public)

The Cereus Readers Book Club was created in honor of Jackson writer Eudora Welty and her friends who gathered for the annual blooming of the night-blooming cereus flower and called themselves “The Night-Blooming Cereus Club.” In this same spirit of friendship and fellowship, this new book club is launched. The goal of the Cereus Readers is to introduce readers to the writing of Eudora Welty–her short stories, essays, and novels–and then to read books and authors she enjoyed herself or were influenced by her.

All meetings will held at the dot.com building adjacent to Banner Hall from 12-1 p.m. Feel free to bring your lunch. If you are interested in joining, stop by the bookstore and say hello to Lisa or e-mail her at lisa@lemuriabooks.com to be added to the e-mail list. Click here to see the reading list.

“I cannot remember a time when I was not in love with them–with the books themselves, cover and binding and the paper they were printed on, with their smell and their weight and with their possession in my arms, captured and carried off to myself.” -Eudora Welty

Would you like to start your own book club?

Here are some points to consider:

Would you like members by invitation only or is the book club open to the public?

How big should the reading group be? Usually 6-12 members is a good number, ensuring that the book club does not fall apart if a few do not show up.

How will you choose the books? Will the books be chosen by a different member each time? Or will a leader choose the books?

Will there be a certain theme? Mystery, Culture, Classics, Contemporary Fiction, Non-Fiction, Science, History, Literature by Women, or Poetry? Also consider keeping the reading selections diverse with titles that your members might not normally read.

Who will lead the discussion? Will the discussion be open or more guided? Do you want your group to stay on topic or just have good time with food & drink & books.

If you have a practice that works well at your book club, please feel free to share it in the comments section below. Every book club is different!

“A book is not only a friend, it makes friends for you. When you have possessed a book with mind and spirit, you are enriched. But when you pass it on you are enriched threefold.” -Henry Miller

Adam Johnson’s The Orphan Master’s Son wins the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction

By admin

On April 16, 2013

In Fiction, First Editions Club

From conception to publication, writing is a true labor of love. That’s Adam Johnson getting ready to sign The Orphan Master’s Son at Lemuria on January 27, 2012.

Please indulge this bookseller–It’s not every day that the novel you care so much about wins the most coveted prize in literary fiction.

The amount of reading a Lemuria bookseller does is considerable. This does not even count the amount of time we spend thinking about what to read and sifting through novels that will not matter five years from now.

We also value the hard work of our publisher reps in helping us find some of the best contemporary fiction. Toni Hetzel of Random House put The Orphan Master’s Son in my hand. I was wowed by it and wanted everyone to read it. Because we got to work on this book early, we were able to hold a signing and reading with Adam Johnson in January 2012 and select it as our January First Editions Club pick. We have been so proud to champion Adam Johnson’s work.

USA Today reports that Adam Johnson found out he had won the Pulitzer through a mere text message on his phone. Adam says:

“How can you be prepared for this kind of news? It will mean so much to the readership of the book, and I hope, will get more people to contemplate what’s happening there. North Koreans aren’t allowed to tell their own story. Others have to do it for them.”

Read the full article here.

Adam_Johnson by Tamara_Beckwith To close, here’s an essay by Adam Johnson about his travel to North Korea, originally posted in January of 2012 with the author’s permission.

“We are all Korean”

Upon arriving in Pyongyang, one of our first stops was the National Museum of Korean History. It was a large museum with no one in it. To save electricity, which was quite scarce, the museum used motion sensors that turned out the lights when you left a room and flashed them on when you entered the next, so the cavernous journey was taken one flashing glimpse at a time. The first exhibit they showed me was what they claimed was an old skull fragment. It was displayed in a Plexiglas box atop a white pedestal. They informed me that the skull was 4.5 million years old and that it had been found on the shores of the Taedong River in Pyongyang. I was new to such tours, so my brain was filled with dissonance. I asked the museum docent, a middle-aged woman wearing a beautiful choson-ot, if humanity didn’t originate in Africa. “Pyongyang,” she said. I’d taken a course on human origins when I was an undergraduate, and a hazy memory came to me. I said, “So is this a skull fragment from an australopithecine?” She said, “No, Korean.” And I understood that she was a person trained to give a tour and recite prescribed information, not a scholar or curator. In North Korea, whenever evidence is lacking for something, they use a big painting or an elaborate diorama as proof. They had both on hand to explain via arrows and diagrams, how humanity had originated in Pyongyang, with the following Diaspora moving north into Asia and west into the Middle East and Europe. Finally, according to the diorama, humans populated Africa and North America. We had several minders with us, all watching my response to this new information. Finally, our tour guide concluded her lecture by informing me that the World was Korean (by which she meant North Korean) and by informing me that I was actually Korean. A friend of mine, a fellow professor on the tour with me, turned to me and said, “Did you hear, Professor Johnson? You are Korean. Do you feel suddenly Korean?”

I pat my arms and sides. “Yes,” I said, “I feel a little more Korean.”

He said, “You look a little more Korean.”

I rubbed my cheek and chin. “Yes,” I said, “I believe I’m a little more Korean.”

Our tour guide and minders all nodded, with some gravity, at my dawning realization.

So the lesson I learned in the National Museum of Korean History was that there was no irony in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

Lemuria & The Library Lounge

By admin

On April 15, 2013

In Newsworthy

Lemuria and The Library Lounge have teamed up for some special events this spring. Never heard of The Library Lounge? Imagine a place where there are comfy chairs, lots of beautiful books and a bar. Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it?

The Library Lounge is kicking off a series of readings featuring local Mississippi writers.

Jack Butler, author of Jujitsu for Christ, will be the first author on Wednesday, April 17th at 6:30. Lemuria will be at the Fairview to provide copies for sale. Jack will be reading from his novel and also signing copies.

The Library Lounge is located in the Fairview Inn in Belhaven on 734 Fairview St, Jackson, MS 39202.

About Jujitsu for Christ

Jack Butler’s “Jujitsu for Christ”–originally published in 1986–follows the adventures of Roger Wing, a white born-again Christian and karate instructor who opens a martial arts studio in downtown Jackson, Mississippi, during the tensest years of the Civil Rights era.

Ambivalent about his religion and his region, Roger Wing befriends the Gandys, an African-American family–parents A.L. and Snower Mae, teenaged son T.J., daughter Eleanor Roosevelt, and youngest son Marcus–who has moved to Jackson from the Delta in hopes of greater opportunity for their children.

As the political heat rises, Roger and the Gandys find their lives intersecting in unexpected ways. Their often-hilarious interactions are told against the backdrop of Mississippi’s racial trauma–Governor Ross Barnett’s “I Love Mississippi” speech at the 1962 Ole Miss-Kentucky football game in Jackson; the riots at the University of Mississippi over James Meredith’s admission; the fieldwork of Medgar Evers, the NAACP, and various activist organizations; and the lingering aura of Emmett Till’s lynching.

Drawing not only on William Faulkner’s gothic-modernist Yoknapatawpha County but also on Edgar Rice Burroughs’s high-adventure Martian pulps, “Jujitsu for Christ” powerfully illuminates vexed questions of racial identity and American history, revealing complexities and subtleties too often overlooked.

It is a remarkable novel about the civil rights era, and how our memories of that era continue to shape our political landscape and to resonate in contemporary conversations about southern identity. But, mostly, it’s very funny, in a mode that’s experimental, playful, sexy, and disturbing all at once. Butler offers a new foreword to the novel. Brannon Costello, a scholar of contemporary southern literature and fan of Butler’s work, writes an afterword that situates the novel in its historical context and in the southern literary canon.

The Incident at Antioch by Alain Badiou

By admin

On April 13, 2013

In Staff Blog

Reading Alain Badiou’s wonderful play, The Incident at Antioch or L’incident D’antioche, is like stepping into a suspension of thought enzymes. I’m not really sure how that comes off, so I’ll just let you know it’s invigorating. Something I love about reading Badiou is… he’s a contemporary philosopher! You know, that discipline that is riddled with old <dead> men? Well, here is yet another old man we call a philosopher, but look! He’s living! So, we don’t have to dig through obscure cultural space-time events with this guy.

L’incident is the latest installment in the very cool Columbia University Press series INSURECTIONS: CRITICAL STUDIES IN RELIGION, POLITICS, AND CULTURE. The play, a three-act tragedy modeled from Paul Claudel’s play The City, is very innovative in both its language and structure (creation). Badiou uses a technique that is best left in the words of Susan Spitzer <via the translator’s preface> when she says:

Rather than being “based on” Claudel’s play, The Incident could be said to enact a sort of musical “sampling” of one playwright by another. Many of Claudel’s lines are lifted intact, or only minimally changed, and set down in The Incident where they function as often as not to invert Claudel’s conservative, religious message. In standing Claudel on his head, so to speak, Badiou freely appropriates the earlier playwright’s lyricism for his own purposes.

I like this “sampling” terminology. It is very modern in the sense of a lot of our music <#glitch #dubstep #electro #beats #KatyPerry #etc.> and it also brings to mind Jonathan Safran Foers’s Tree of Codes, but a great deal less stilted craft-art and a lot easier to physically manipulate. But, know that this is no foreign construction either, as it is in the same vein as many of the ancient playwrights, who would take a piece and rework it in the same way Badiou does here.

It is not only Paul Claudel that Badiou borrows from but another Paul, viz. Saint Paul. The title of this play recalls the incident at Antioch where Paul and Peter clash over the status of the law. The main character in L’incident is a feminized Paul <Paula> who takes on the role of political revolutionary. Paula fittingly has a Pauline conversion experience from {revolutionary} to {one whom seeks to not take hold of power once they are in position to do so}. This is dubbed on the back cover of the book as a “transition from classical Marxism to a ‘politics of subtraction’ far removed from party and state.”

Here is the play in superflash:

This play is political. The dialogue is wholly concerned with politics and the characters are political figures. Two brothers Jean and Pierre Maury represent right and left-wing politicians, respectively. Cephas (Peter) is a classical Marxist revolutionary who overthrows the government with the help of the working class. Claude Villembray, Paula’s brother, is the only “hope” for the current system to sustain itself, though he refuses and falls into a nihilistic spiral until he is murdered by the revolutionaries as a symbol of the overthrown state. Cephas, after attaining his violent ruin of the city, realizes he no longer has purpose and abdicates his leadership over to David, the son of Paula and Mokhtar (an Arab factory worker). It is in the final act that Paula the converted is able to “convert” her son David into this politics of withdrawal. There are a few other characters that I did not mention though they are important.

The plotline is less the point than normal with this play. What I mean is the plot, which in most things, is like a sexy sports car, carrying us along with its fancy story and its sex factor, or maybe an economy class something or other, but with this story, though the story is good, the plotline acts more like a utility vehicle, something that is solid and will get us to our destination, it won’t break down on us mid trip, but it wont be so flashy as an Acura TL or, whatever. So, with this utility vehicle, we get lots of scenery, and plenty of time to look at it. The meat of this play is its political dialogue, which I’m not going to delve into here; you will just have to read it yourself (so worth it).

Jumping to the end of L’incident, we are left with Badiou’s answer, which is to take this ‘politics of subtraction,’ but we are left questioning: how do we realize this? In this sense, Badiou has no answer, but only some vague direction and his ‘politics of subtraction’ becomes more of a ‘politics of abstraction.’ The play, at this point, may look to you like a truncated cone – it will never reach its point. But Badiou has some really great ideas. This play is not made to give us a clear answer on how to get where he is thinking, but asks us to come together and answer this as a people and not a person.

One thing I cannot get behind Badiou on is a violent revolution. If anything in the future is to work, any new politics, it must be based on pacifist principles. Revolution is great, but it must be nonviolent. If we do not come to see this, then, well, we will kill this world with smart-bombs. The technology of warfare is getting so efficient at killing, that (everyone, think ender’s game here) your children playing video games, those kids are going to be the most valuable recruits for the next forever. Killing is no longer an intimate thing – killing has become so abstracted from reality that a child in the military can guide a missile with a joystick and melt millions of living, breathing, children, women, men, good and bad, without ever having to face it. We have dehumanized the enemy, and if we stand here without doing anything about it, Hitler will have been just the tip of the iceberg.

L’incident D’antioche may not be where you stand politically, morally, or anywhere, but it will make you face those things, which is so necessary right now.

L’incident D’antioche is Badiou’s first literary work translated into English. Exciting times, y’all.

The Man Who Planted Trees: Lost Groves, Champion Trees, and an Urgent Plan to Save the Planet by Jim Robbins

By admin

On April 6, 2013

In Nature

David Milarch by a redwood stump near San Geronimo, California Photo: Jim Robbins/Redux

The story begins when New York Times contributor Jim Robbins reads an article about the Champion Tree Project, a project aimed at cloning all 826 species of trees in the United States from champion trees, the fittest trees of every species.

The Champion Tree Project is led by David Milarch, a humble shade tree nurseryman from Michigan. Milarch began the project following a near-death experience after which he received a message that “the big trees were dying” and his job was to do something about it.

You might be thinking, as Robbins did when Milarch told him the story, is this guy for real? Robbins explains that this was “the most unusual origin of a science story [he’d] ever heard.”

Jim Robbins

Over the years Robbins keeps in contact with Milarch and pursues the questions inspired by Milarch’s effort to nurture our planet with trees:

How do trees communicate with each other?

How do trees and to what extent do they filter water and air for all life on the planet?

How do they prosper and how do they die?

The result is a lively and urgent exploration among scientists that as our climate changes the right trees planted in the right place for the right reasons might save our planet.

The story of David Milarch and the Champion Tree Project is a passionate testament to the power of one and the ability of a grass roots effort to stimulate a scientific community often stymied by their own expertise. The Man Who Planted Trees, printed on 100% post consumer fiber, is as pleasurable as it is educational.

City of Bohane, an insular city of vice; or, Kevin Barry, I love you.

By admin

On April 3, 2013

In Fiction

Think Gangs of New York meets A Clockwork Orange meets Mad Max and set in 2050 Ireland.

The City of Bohane is located on the west coast and named after the river that runs through it. Bohane is divided into several districts that are ‘governed’ by a gang, the Hartnett Fancy. Logan Hartnett aka Albino/’Bino/H/Mr. H/the Long Fella is the current boss of the fancy

He had that Back Trace look to him: a dapper buck in a natty-boy Crombie, the Crombie draped all casual-like over the shoulders of a pale grey Eyetie suit, mohair. Mouth of teeth on him like a vandalised graveyard but we all have our crosses. It was a pair of hand-stitched Portuguese boots that slapped his footfall, and the stress that fell, the emphasis, was money.

In Bohane, the way you carry yourself is everything.

Kevin Barry writes like a poet chewin’ loonies. His prose is so good, and his story telling is… so good. He writes with this street slang that is totally believable. And this is one of the few times a ‘twist’ really caught me unawares, and it was cool. It was as subtle as his narrator, yet when looking back it was set up really well. Not one of those times that leave you like “okay, well, didn’t see that coming, but who the hell could have?” More like: Whoa… Barry is fracking great!

Right from the start we learn that the guy who had holdings of the fancy prior to the Long Fella is back and 25 years gone, the Gant Broderick, is still one bad dude – fifty years old, he’s still aka the Big Unit – “He had a pair of hands on him the size of Belfast sinks.” This book is one of an insular city of vice and all of the people (there are some really great ones in here) reflect it. There is love and violence and distrust. There is cold maneuvering and hot syrupy sentiment. The Gant <a bastardized form of giant> is one of these that suffer from attacks of sentiment, looking for the past, for the ‘lost-time’. But, this doesn’t stop him from being one big bad ghoulie _ he still carries his blade around.

The characters are what really solidify this book for me. They are kind of like Barry Hannah’s characters, maybe a bit more fantastically so. Oh, and the women in this book are just great:

Jenni Ching is one strong female, a bad chic. She’s sexy, smart, and kicks ass all day. “Jenni took a stogie from the tit pocket of her white vinyl zip-up. Torched the motherfucker.”

Macu, the Long Fella’s wife, is “dark-complected and thin, with a graceful carry of herself, and a sadness bred into her. One of her eyes was halfways turned in to meet the other, but attractively so.”

Girly Hartnett is the Long Fella’s mum. “… eighty-nine years of age, and in riotous good health. Girly was the greatest rip that ever had walked the Trace but she resided now in a top-floor suite at the Bohane Arms Hotel. The Curtains hadn’t been drawn back in decades.” *Girly is not just some old hag in this tale.*

I’m just going to list a few names from the book at this point, because they are just wonderful:

Ol’ Boy Manion, Eyes Cusack, Sweet Baba Jay,

Big Dom Gleeson, Wolfie Stanners & Fucker Burke.

Bohane is a city that “builds sausages & beer” for the fierce winters. It builds fierce people for the blackness that seeps in from the river. If you want to read a great story, you could do worse.

dark lies the island I’m going to give this one a 5/5 ***** and I’ll deff be reading his short story collection that comes out later this year.

Canoeing Mississippi by Ernest Herndon

By admin

On April 1, 2013

In Nature

As soon as I got into the introduction of Canoeing Mississippi by Ernest Herndon I realized that this was not just a book for canoeing enthusiasts. Anyone interested in our natural state, our abundance and variety of rivers will find the armchair travel delightful.

You might not immediately associate Mississippi with canoeing but Herndon describes over 2,000 miles of waterways. Yes, some of these are muddy and mosquito filled! However, Herndon does us a great service describing the great variety of rivers we have: the 150-mile long Chunky River which makes it way through rocky cliffs into the Buckatunna; the heavily wooded Leaf River; the whitewater Okatoma; the Tangipahoa which flows into Lake Ponchartrain; the 400-mile long Pearl River running from Northeast Mississippi all the way to the Honey Island Swamp, including the beautiful Bogue Chitto River as its tributary; and finally our Gulf Coast terrain includes the complex, ever-changing Wolf River.

Okatoma River

If you decide to leave your armchair for the canoe, you’ll benefit from Herndon’s 30-plus years of experience of canoeing in Mississippi. River by river you’ll learn about boats and gear, paddle strokes, camping and navigation. To enrich your float, you’ll find Canoeing Mississippi to also be an abundant source on history and adventure stories, geology, wildlife, ecology and fishing techniques.
