A Seat on the Shore: Quietly Admiring the Maine Coast
As journalist and editor David Tyler writes in his introduction, "Exploring the Maine coast is like a treasure hunt. On every trip you find a new jewel: a secluded beach, a Victorian inn by the shore, or a weathered fishing wharf with a mélange of colorful skiffs." In this book, veteran photographer Nance Trueworthy often takes the reader off the beaten track, to places where, as Tyler puts it, "we can leave our harried lives behind and just sit, wondering at the beauty of this shoreline." In addition, however, "Nance shows us places that we think we already know in a new light. In one photo, we see beach grass near Mackworth Island in the brilliant light of a late-fall afternoon. In another image, we see the fog lifting off the glittering stones of Seawall Beach on a summer day."

In many of the images in this book, there are one or more comfortable chairs, just waiting for the reader to "set a spell" and take in the beauty of Maine’s extraordinary coast..

Admiring Silence
As a successor to his Booker-nominated novel, Paradise, Abdulrazak Gurnah's fifth book, Admiring Silence, presents the despair of being torn from one's roots. Gurnah's unnamed narrator flees to England as a teenager to escape the violent political rule of his native island in Zanzibar. There he lives for nearly twenty years in suburban comfort with an Englishwoman and holds a respectable position teaching at a university. Despite his apparent success, as an immigrant he is caught in cultural limbo, always feeling marginal in British society. The tales he weaves for his English lover and her family of an idyllic past in Africa console him temporarily, but when sanctions are lifted the narrator chooses to leave the family he created in England and return to Zanzibar. What he finds there destroys the image of the childhood paradise he had preserved in his heart-now he can never return home. .
