Описание: "With its provocative title, Jack Kohl has composed a highly nuanced novel and thriller. In it, one reads of the conflicts, perils, devotion, strength, and yes, joy of contemplating a career as a concert pianist. Mr. Kohl has certainly grappled with the inner life of an aspiring pianist, in which all of us can relate."
-David Dubal, faculty, the Juilliard School, WQXR host, and author of The Essential Canon of Classical Music and The Art of the Piano
On a cold dark night in early March 1970, two boats are discovered tied to a pier and bobbing gently in the still waters that ebb and flow between the separate coasts of Connecticut and the north shore of Long Island, New York. Aboard one of the seemingly abandoned boats, its engine still running, are found two healthy baby boys-and three corpses. What strange music of life gave birth to this bizarre piece of business? And what is it that finally-and perhaps fatally-leads to the separation between the two young boys as they grow from adolescence into adulthood? These, and many other questions, will provide ample accompaniment to readers of Jack Kohl's mysterious debut novel, That Iron String.
Named in honor of the New England towns from where their families hailed, Portsmouth ("Port" for short) Gourd has not seen his cousin, Boston, for several years. While both have grown into well-trained classical pianists with the high stress of various regional music competitions in common, the wayward Boston has emerged over time as the flashier and more prodigious player of the two. Port has remained in the small town of Pauktaug, traveling by train to Manhattan in order to attain a master's degree in classical piano.
Life with Aunt Elizabeth and Uncle Harry is comfortable if not predictable, but something is missing. Then comes the day when, at the Gourd's three-floor suburban home that serves also as a funeral parlor, a disassembled grand piano arrives by delivery truck-along with the news that Boston is finally returning home. Weeks go by, though, and he does not arrive. All that does arrive are a series of mailed letters-all unread by Port, until the night when his recently-divorced high school crush reappears in his life and feelings long thought dead are reawakened. What transpires will both bemuse and astound readers, as the battle between life and music becomes a wrestle between love and death.
The first novel by a professional pianist in his own right, That Iron String resounds masterfully between the known and unknown, the sacred and profane, the comedic and tragic, the present ... and the past.

Описание: Laura Johnston Kohl was a teen activist working to integrate public facilities in the Washington, D.C., area. She actively fought for civil rights and free speech, and against the Vietnam War throughout the 1960s. After trying to effect change single-handedly, she found she needed more hands. She joined Peoples Temple in 1970, living and working in the progressive religious movement in both California and Guyana. A fluke saved her from the mass murders and suicides on November 18, 1978, when 913 of her beloved friends died in Jonestown.
Soon after this, Synanon, a residential community, helped her gradually affirm life. In 1991, she got to work, finished her studies, and became a public school teacher. On the 20th anniversary of the deaths in Jonestown, she looked up fellow survivors of the Jonestown tragedy and they have worked to put the jigsaw puzzle together that was Peoples Temple. Her perspective has evolved as new facts have cleared up mysteries and she has had time to reflect. Her mission continues to be to acknowledge, write about, and speak about why the members joined Peoples Temple, why they went to Guyana, and who they were. She lives with her family in San Diego.

Описание: For centuries, Africa's Upper Guinea Coast region has been the site of regional and global interactions, with societies from different parts of the African continent and beyond engaging in economic trade, cultural exchange, and various forms of conflict. This book provides a wide-ranging look at how such encounters have continued into the present day, identifying the disruptions and continuities in religion, language, economics, and various other social phenomena that have resulted. These accounts show a region that, while still grappling with the legacies of colonialism and the slave trade, is both shaped by and an important actor within ever-denser global networks, exhibiting consistent transformation and creative adaptation.

Despite high degrees of cultural and ethnic diversity as well as prevailing political instability, Guinea-Bissau’s population has developed a strong sense of national belonging. By examining both contemporary and historical perspectives, A Creole Nation explores how creole identity, culture, and political leaders have influenced postcolonial nation-building processes in Guinea-Bissau, and the ways in which the phenomenon of cultural creolization results in the emergence of new identities.
