Ezra's Ghosts
Ezra's Ghosts: Stories | Darcy Tamayose
3 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Award-winning author Darcy Tamayose returns with Ezra's Ghosts, a collection of fantastical stories linked by a complex mingling of language and culture, as well as a deep understanding of grief and what it makes of us. Within these pages a scholar writes home from the Ryukyu Islands, not knowing that his hometown will soon face a deadly calamity of its own. Another seeker of truth is trapped in Ezra after her violent death, and must watch how her family--and her killer--alter in her absence. The oldest man in town, an immigrant who came to Canada to escape imperial hardships, sprouts wings, and a wounded journalist bears witness to his transformation. Finally, past and present collide as a writer (or another word) reflects on the recent skinwars that have completely altered the world's topography. Binding the stories together is an intersect of arrival and departure--in a quiet prairie town called Ezra.

A pair of linked stories bookend the two novellas in middle of this beautiful collection. Grief & the acceptance of change are major themes. I was surprised, delighted & moved by all of it. Ghostfly is from the viewpoint of a woman who has been murdered. In The Ryukyuan, an old man is possibly becoming a bird. The final story is set in 2044, with tantalizing references to societal changes & new technologies. Loved it! #ShadowGiller2022 #CanLit

Quietude was an academic discipline. As part of the post-pandemic movement, many companies had diversified and dedicated themselves to the hidden-existence culture, to serving the life of the mind.

Didn‘t get to many nonfiction titles this month, but I sure did well on my Shadow Giller project: I read 11 eligible titles in August, including the tagged book. Now I just need to catch up on Litsy reviews…
Best books of the month and the rest of my monthly wrap up are on my blog: https://lindypratch.blogspot.com/2022/08/august-2022-reading-stats-and-booktube....
