A drastic fog, it climbed the banks of the Willamette River to roll across, take and hide the Irvington neighborhood, where a block away from storefront glare and crawling traffic on Broadway, apartment two-stories lined the next street, Schuyler. A cabdriver there, early on the pickup, stretched his legs, conceding the weather had slowed him down, would cut his pay for the night. He rested on the right front fender, gave hawkish attention for anyone leaving Tillamook Court. Behind him, the dome light emblazing seemed likely to attract nothing more than weepy fog.

Extractions: Excerpt: "... He might as well break bread with a yak for all the companionship potential he sees here. "Yeah, your nose gave you away," he says, trying to act nonchalant about CaraJo's shocking sartorial feat. "It's Friday afternoon. I take off early for my public service project at St. John's. Visit kids in the cancer ward. They're in love with me." She says this, jaws flapping away with a real wad of gum. Nelse would bet anything she's lying about the kids with cancer, but would she go and rent a costume just to make him out as a fool? He doesn't really know. "That's commendable," he says. "Just commendable." "I try." He suggests they sit outside at one of the umbrellaed tables. He wants to see CaraJo the way she used to be. He decides if he's going to take pictures, she'd look better without that ridiculous red nose on her face. "Wanna do me a favor?" he asks. ..." Statistics for this Story
Extractions: ISBN: 684 83113 9 review by Charlie Dickinson The Redneck Manifesto is no joke. Many otherwise educated, socially tolerant Americans might laugh at this book's title. That is precisely author Jim Goad's point: "A whole vein of human experience, of potential literature, is dismissed as a joke, much as America's popular notions of black culture were relegated to lawn jockeys and Sambo caricatures a generation or two ago. The redneck is the only cardboard figure left standing in our ethnic shooting gallery." Redneck, cracker, white trashGoad catalogues all the scapegoating epithets that with popular social consent tag poor whites in this country. It is a social shortcoming, a cruel lacuna in this age of the politically correct, that Americans see no offense in trailer park jokes, accepted that scene in the movie Deliverance (1972) as no surprise, really, and will point to this notable example of the Other in our midst and say, "They're white, being poor's their own fault." Goad takes on a great theme: America's white underclass do not fail because of individual character defects; they have been handed socio-economic straitjackets at birth. In an impressive command of historical research (including 18 pages of endnotes and bibliography), the author traces a diaspora of the white underclass from European feudal times to arrival in America to the present, demolishing a few popular myths en route. Were we not taught America was about free land, political freedom, and religious tolerance? Or were we told the New World was a dumping ground for Cromwell's foes and, later, Great Britain's surplus population? Most contemporary scholars accept that the
Extractions: 'a lucid account of cutting-edge brain research' Amsterdam of the 1600s was home to two important philosophers: French emigre Rene Descartes and native Baruch Spinoza. As the Western intellectual tradition would have it, the former's ideasCartesian logic, a mind-body split, cogito ergo sumgained intellectual purchase, while those of the latter were largely ignored. LOOKING FOR SPINOZA by Antonio Damasio presents the interesting thesis that today's research in neurology suggests choosing Descartes' conception of mind over that of Spinoza might have been, well, wrong-headed. Until recently, researchers seldom studied how feelings manifest themselves in neurobiological terms. Damasio's interest for exploring the neurological basis of emotion and feeling grew when he began to see patients with injury or disease to specific parts of the brain that, for example, left them without compassion. In considerable and well-illustrated detail, Damasio shows how emotions (which are displayed publicly) precede feelings (which are experienced privately). Far from the wholly ineffable and intangible experiences feelings are commonly thought, Damasio shows joy or sadness, as examples, generate patterns of brain activity recognizably associated with each feeling.
Extractions: The Cat at Light's End fiction by Charlie Dickinson Jayne knew exactly how she, Russ, their daughter Alyssa, and a cat ended up living out of a beater Econoline van, now parked at a Fred Meyer's One-Stop Shopping Center in Portland, Oregon. It was as obvious, as unavoidable, once things were in motion, as a good car wreck. Some six months ago, things got tough when Nehalem Lumber laid off Russ and all the other mill workers. Nothing Russ or anybody did. The word was simply "No more logs to cut." Jayne saw Russ and his buddies try as they may to keep each other up with jokes about tree huggers and owls. He put a bumper sticker on the Econoline: Are You an Environmentalist Or Do You Work For a Living? Russ's buddies got a kick out of that one. But Jayne realized the growing truth of a mill that would never reopen was bearing down. They scraped by with money from unemployment. Russ even admitted that because he was out of work, he should take off the bumper sticker. Then he got madder about bureaucrats stealing their way of life and decided the bumper sticker would stay. Weeks rolled by. The owl jokes got scarcer and what Jayne heard out of Russ was talk about buddies moving on. Some set off for Seattle to drive trucks at good pay, bach-ing it until their families could come up for more permanent arrangements.

Extractions: N What's closer to a ten on the start of a day than this? Top-down weather and across fifteen feet of pedestrian walkway from the parked Alfa, behind the glass sheet fronting Espresso'd, something in the form of woman moves with a hypnotic liquidity that's escaped every sculptor who ever lived. She's brushing crumbs, picking up napkinsall thatfrom tables and counters inside. Any other morning, Nelse would have already been cubicle-bound to Cirrus Labs. Today, however, one of the other woman employees called her by name: CaraJo. The revelation snagged him. Why not? Where there's a technology, there's a way. Nelse wordlessly thanks the gods for this technological gift that now summons CaraJo away from the window. Not that he didn't enjoy the front and side views of CaraJo at her cleaning chores; he simply also appreciates a mathematical aesthetic as she turns away. Her sacral concavity reverse-curves flawlessly to the muscular convexity of her bum as, with divine motion, she goes for the phone on the back wall. CaraJo comes on the phone with an incredibly up voice. In profile, hand on hip, leaning on the wall, she says she doesn't know any Nelse and doesn't understand why he'd be watching her.

Extractions: the irvington stories Home for these stories is the Irvington Neighborhood in Portland, Oregon. One of the 84 officially designated neighborhoods, Irvington in the inner city has many fine old houses and sometimes is likened to living in the 1920s. While characterized as a multicultural hotbed of political activity, home to poets and philosophers, and a gentrification turn-around, I'll let the stories speak for themselves, showing Irvington as backdrop for the fictional lives that follow.

Extractions: Review by Charles Dickinson The dispossessed of the world, for whom citizenship must seem utterly without value, often risk life and limb to gain a toehold of a meager living somewhere else. They might be Haitian boat people. They might be Mexican river waders. They might be, by one EU estimate for 2001, any of 500,000 illegal immigrants who left Ceuta, Spaina postage-sized Spanish enclave on the Moroccan coastand crossed the Mediterranean for the shores of Spain and greater Europe beyond. With WELCOME TO PARADISE, Morrocan writer Mahi Binebine gives us a stark tale, told in taut, evocative prose, about a group of North Africans at an undisclosed village on the north coast of Morocco who've gathered to make the Mediterranean crossing. All paid fortunesby their dismal living standardsto jovial Morad (Momo), a go-between, who's made the journey to Europeand been deportedthree times. They wait in the dark on a cold beach for the word from their trafficker, who'll decide when to launch their row boat into a sometimes treacherous sea and past a possibly lurking Spanish coastguard.

Extractions: Rather, it's Brad Barkley's contemporary novel set in rural West Virginia where Alison Durst, midway through her thirties, loses her husband Marty in a terrible accident. She immediately abandons the home she and Marty shared. She moves in with her sister and brother-in-law, who like Alison are also childless. For the next two years of widowhood, Alison mostly treads water in the doldrums of uncomprehended grief. As the novel opens, however, something clicks with Alison when the brother-in-law shows her an abandoned Corvette, ready for the junkyard, residing in an equally dilapidated garage. Marty had been somewhat of a pack rat, restoring things, and Alison, not finding much else in life to engage her, decides the Corvettepeeling paint, a rusting frame, a resident colony of miceis her project car. Certainly Brad Barkley wants us to see this particular 1976 Corvette, which many advise Alison is beyond repair and little more than an expensive excuse to keep busy, as somehow symbolic of Alison's life. The Corvette will never be as good as new, so the question is, Will it ever run again? With a dogged persistence, Alison takes on that task, never having worked on cars before in her life. To Barkley's credit, he writes a convincing account of how a mechanical neophyte could tackle such an automotive challenge. But, of course, this novel's about more than car repair: A heart needs mending too.
