And when the story is way past due, it’s difficult to think about anything other than how in the hell you’re going to finish it. The work follows me home, where I sit on the couch and stare silently at the television. And I like to think that the retelling of those stories is the better for it. — Evan West, author. Shannon Raddin watched with dread as a tethered balloon whipped wildly above the crowd. She and her 10-year-old daughter, Jade Walcott, were waiting for the Sugarland concert to begin. They had traveled 120 miles to see the band perform at the Indiana State Fair, and waited nearly four hours in line before taking their places in the “Sugarpit,” one row back, center stage. Raddin, a caterer and real-estate agent from northern Kentucky, near Cincinnati, and her daughter had already attended two Sugarland concerts together. They had road-tripped to see the group a few months earlier in Nashville, where they danced in the Sugarpit just a few feet away from singer Jennifer Nettles. Standing up close was awesome, Raddin thought, so she decided to buy Sugarpit passes again for the show in Indianapolis. After the opening act, by singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles, a man behind Raddin held up an ominous radar image on his smartphone.
As a pioneer of contemporary Iraqi fiction, Ghaib Tu`ma Farman (1927-1990) may have been too geographically removed from the literary center to enjoy the critical acclaim offered to authors of his stature. Born in Baghdad 1927, he came of literary age in the 1950’s with the publication of his first short story collection in 1954 and formed friendships with other literary figures of his time such as Fuad al-Takarli and Abd al-Wahhab al-Bayyati. After a number of perilous encounters with the state and its censorship, leading to his citizenship being revoked temporarily in 1957, Farman left to Moscow in 1960 where he spent the remainder of his life in exile until his death in 1990. While... Farman’s fiction is characterized by its brilliant artistic treatment of the turbulent and transformative years of the 1940’s and 1950’s. In their variegated portrayal of Iraqi society, his novels often feature the exiled, the downtrodden, and the... Very little of Farman’s work has been translated to English. The following is a short story from his collection, Alam al-Sayyid Maʻruf. This book, published in 1982, includes an eponymous novella and a number of other short stories written over a span of a few decades.
It took a full year from pouring the cement, working together with a Lafayette-based developer, then finally moving in last December, but Cindy Bryson, 63, called the process “a labor of love. The Bryson’s 2,400-square-foot home is one of about 80 lots in the Audubon Square community off Tiger Bend Road near Antioch Road. When Cindy Bryson, a retired pharmacist, and Paul Bryson, a 63-year-old chemical engineer, decided to downsize from the Woodlawn Estates home they had lived in for 26 years, they searched for a move-in ready house. “We couldn’t find exactly what we wanted,” Cindy said, explaining that they sought a traditional neighborhood development where each house looked unique “like the old-time neighborhoods. Cindy loved her sister’s cottage-style farmhouse in Lafayette and decided to hire her sister’s developer, Dennis Almeida, of Providence Design & Build, to design and build their new home on a corner lot in the Audubon Square subdivision. “He has that New England flavor,” Cindy said, adding the couple had fallen in love with the New England area during a trip up north several years ago. While the traditional definition of a cottage house describes a simple design, today’s cottage house plans are characterized by pale paint colors, distressed surfaces, humble fabrics and found treasures. Almeida was the one who suggested having the exterior of the home’s white brick fireplace face the front yard and to the right of the spacious, gray-painted front porch.
