Share with friends: Permanent Link: "Each of us has been uprooted from one place and, through a great series of chance and circumstance not entirely our own, been made to reinvent ourselves somewhere else." Transplants, the first novel by Daniel Tam-Claiborne, is a mesmerizing study of the immigrant experience told with warmth, nuance, and quiet beauty.
Viral Injustice - Second Spring
On the Unfairness of Life, Death, and Covid-19 By Edward Hadas It’s Easter, for Christians a season of hope and a reminder of eternity, but in the here and now, it’s just not fair.
