Through those who visit and revisit her shop – Ahuja’s wife, caught in an unhappy, abusive marriage Jagjit, the victim of racist attacks at school the noisy bougainvillaea girls, rejecting the strict upbringing of their tradition-bound Indian parents Haroun who drives a taxi and dreams the American dream – we get a glimpse into the life of the local Indian expatriate community.

![]() ![]() They pray for rescue - but when the food starts running out it becomes clear that the jailers have also become the jailed. The girls all have something in common, but what is it? What crime has brought them here from the city? Who is the mysterious security company responsible for this desolate place with its brutal rules, its total isolation from the contemporary world? Doing hard labour under a sweltering sun, the prisoners soon learn what links them: in each girl's past is a sexual scandal with a powerful man. Strangers to each other, they have no idea where they are or how they came to be there with eight other girls, forced to wear strange uniforms, their heads shaved, guarded by two inept yet vicious armed jailers and a 'nurse'. ![]() Two women awaken from a drugged sleep to find themselves imprisoned in a broken-down property in the middle of a desert.

Tourism - human circulation packaged for consumption, a by-product of the circulation of commodities - is the opportunity to go and see what has been banalized. While eliminating geographical distance, this society produces a new internal distance in the form of spectacular separation. This homogenizing power is the heavy artillery that has battered down all the walls of China. Just as the accumulation of commodities mass-produced for the abstract space of the market shattered all regional and legal barriers and all the Medieval guild restrictions that maintained the quality of craft production, it also undermined the autonomy and quality of places. ![]() This unification is at the same time an extensive and intensive process of banalization. Capitalist production has unified space, breaking down the boundaries between one society and the next. ![]() ![]() ![]() Many authors like their characters to play coy, to circumlocute their way around their motives and desires. As one of them puts it, "Life can be strange sometimes, and knowing it can be doesn't seem to make it any less so." They're lonely and dissatisfied, uneasy riders on the edge of self-awareness. The men and women in Moshfegh's stories are desperate, although they're unsure for what. Sehnsucht is a familiar feeling to the characters in Ottessa Moshfegh's stunning short story collection, Homesick for Another World. ![]() It's sometimes translated as "longing," but it carries a series of specific connotations, among them, a yearning for a faraway land that may or may not actually exist. But there's a grain of truth to it - take Sehnsucht, a German term that's hard to explain in English. It's become a common joke that the Germans have a word for everything (and that many of them are comically long and impossible to pronounce). ![]() Your purchase helps support NPR programming.

Secondary characters added to the storyline from humorous to giving aid and advice. There is some advancement on the overall series arc. We get more answers regarding Wulfe and Sherwood. I loved the different threads and how the author tied a movie and an ancient artifact to the mystery. When he and other vampires go missing and the pack is blamed, they must work together to uncover and stop the danger. He is a vampire, so an enemy of the pack, but he’s also something more …. Wulfe is such a unique character and one of my favorites. Our little coyote has her hands full in this non-stopped, action-packed installment.

We literally have more microbial cells living inside our bodies than human cells. Yong illustrates that we are at least as much microbe as human. We are also utterly inseparable from them. Microbes help us digest our food, break down toxins, guide our physical development, protect us from disease, and even speed human evolution. But there are hundreds of thousands of species that live peacefully, symbiotically within us, primarily in our gut. There are approximately 100 species of bacteria that cause infectious disease in humans. Yong makes clear that only a tiny fraction of microbes have the ability to make us sick.
