The emotional heart of the tale lies with Joe Rantz, a teenager without family or prospects, who rows not only to regain his shattered self-regard but also to find a real place for himself in the world. Drawing on the boys’ own journals and vivid memories of a once-in-a-lifetime shared dream, Brown has created an unforgettable portrait of an era, a celebration of a remarkable achievement, and a chronicle of one extraordinary young man’s personal quest.

It started when I was sixteen years old. A slow declining, an isolation, one piece at a time.
A father forgetting to drive me to school. A mother setting the table for three, not four. A teacher who forgets to chase my missing homework. A friend who looks straight through me and sees a stranger.
No matter what I do, the words I say, the people I hurt, the crimes I commit - you will never remember who I am.
That makes my life tricky. But it also makes me dangerous . . .
The Sudden Appearance of Hope is the tale of the girl no one remembers. But this gripping story – of love and loss, of hope and despair, of living in the moment and dying to leave a mark – is novel that will stay with you for ever.

I am the self-appointed representative of the New Hope wing of the Democratic Party. You may call me a nut, a dreamer, or a socialist, but I can offer the young people in America—to me that means anyone under fifty—new hope.Dorian Evergreen de Bernard Viallet est un nouveau recueil de nouvelles de l’auteur et le titre éponyme du premier texte de l’ouvrage.Neuf autres nouvelles le suivent. On y retrouve à chaque fois l’humour de Bernard Viallet et son esprit malicieux qui ne se laisse pas faire par le monde moderne et le critique efficacement dans une dérision jubilatoire.L’anticipation et le fantastique sont souvent représentés dans ces textes, aussi bien dans Dorian Evergreen dont le nom, on le devine, dévoile un clin d’œil au célèbre portrait de Dorian Gray d’Oscar Wilde, que dans les Thanatophores ou SOS MACHOS, qui évoquent respectivement le contrôle des naissances et l’euthanasie.Bernard Viallet se moque allègrement des contradictions de notre époque et nous entraîne à rire avec lui de celles-ci.Ces nouvelles, toujours très bien écrites, se dévorent copieusement. Elles se révèlent également éclectiques, lorsque l’auteur nous conte les aventures d’une vieille péripatéticienne en fin de carrière enlevée par un ancien client amoureux sous les yeux de son antique proxénète, où lorsqu’il dépeint l’univers glauque de deux « pointeurs » violeurs et assassins d’enfants pas du tout pénitents.Certains de ces écrits sont consultables sur le site de l’auteur.On ne peut que recommander la lecture de ces nouvelles très fraîches, à l’humour bien placé, qui affirment encore un peu plus le talent de leur auteur.

Humanity's Last Hope
Kevinette H. Considine
Poetry
Mathew Tenoch Harrison (Matty to his friends) a student at UMass Amherst,finds himself in the postion to be "Humanity's Last Hope".The old cowboy sat in his chair on the porch of the new cabin. He watched the rim of the desert. How many more days would there be? He knew this was his last hurrah.The hired hand didn't understand, but it didn't matter anymore. It was almost over.Today...thought the old man, it has to be today, I feel it in my bones.He sat on the porch and looked at the sky: the hired hand told him there would be no ride today, bad weather coming.As he watched, the clouds were bizarre, all piled up, shouldering one another for the best place, the big ones black and lowering. The pink air thick but so clear, you could almost see tomorrow."My gawd!" the old man cried as he gazed at the sky, "it's the end of the world!"He wanted to sit on the porch and watch but the hired hand hustled him inside the cabin. The rain turned to hail the size of golf balls. So big they could kill a new born calf.The storm finally passed and the sun came out. The old man, the hired hand and the Indian housekeeper went out and sat on the porch and looked at the fresh new world.The edge of the desert grew hazy; the cloud of dust on the horizon grew bigger. "There they are," shouted the old cowboy, "here they come!"The water crazed herd of range cattle drove for the bloated arroyo, the smell of water making them mad. The bawling cattle elbowing and pushing their way passed the porch. They stamped and bellowed and the dust filled the old man's nostrils and he thought it the sweetest smell.Life coursed through his old bones and he stood and swung his old Stetson in the air and whooped and swore, pleasure flowed through him, and he was young again.But soon they were gone.The old man sat down heavily, age settled back on his shoulders, "I'll finish tomorrow, Ramona," he said to the old Indian housekeeper, "it'll be O.K.".The hired hand watched with foreboding, what will be finished tomorrow?
Intervals of Hope
Christopher Canniff
Nicholas Dixon lives with his mother and brother in London, England between the world wars. His father, Wilfrid, once with the First Battalion, First Canadian Regiment in the trenches of the Great War, now works in the coalmines of South Leeds and rarely returns to his family. Armed with his father's wartime journal, a spirited imagination, and a taste for insurgency, Nicholas embarks on a quest to reunite the family. A journey that will forever alter his perception of his father, leading Nicholas to confront his own cowardice. Inspired by multiple interviews with a former WWII British Commando, whose father was in the trenches of WWI, and through eighty-five letters sent home during WWI by the author's great-grandfather, Intervals of Hope explores duty, responsibility, cowardice, abandonment, and the disparate paths to becoming a man of honour. "Canniff's description is as powerful as any writer I have ever had in the Humber course."...
