Nice review of this debut novel set in the Ozarks. Pursuing Daisy Garfield by Otis Bulfinch.

A great quote on art.

🎨 via Don Trowden:

"A work of art does not answer questions, it provokes them; and its essential meaning is in the tension between the contradictory answers."

We are deeply saddened to report that Joyce Kornblatt, a kind sensitive soul, has left this world ideally for a better place. Joyce was a talented writer who dug deep with stunning poetic clarity. We were honored to publish her beautiful novel Mother Tongue, her last work and one she spent twenty years honing to perfection. We love you Joyce and will miss you terribly.

An adult woman learns she was kidnapped as an infant from a hospital in the U.S., taken to Australia, and raised by the woman she knew as her mother but who was actually her abductor.

The made-up word thickafog is a wonderful example of the inventiveness of our human language. Maine lobstermen use the word to answer the question: "How was it out there today?" Answer: "Thickafog."
