            <title>Canadian Feminist Writer Sarah Felix Burns Writes a BIG Fish Story</title>
            <link>http://www.bookbuffet.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/news.article/article_ID/3E718352-62D7-45E9-81CB85C764B095DA/index.html</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Jackfish The Vanishing Village (Inanna Poetry & Fiction) is not any kind of fishing story—but it will hook you in. Clemance-Marie Nadeau is haunted by memories unravelling from a traumatic past. Her story begins as she boards a train bound for Sault Ste. Marie, and falls under the spell of a charming stranger who promises her a life of adventure. Nothing she experiences could be further from that promise. Based on her own experiences and the stories of the many women Sarah Felix Burns has worked with over the years in her work with trauma/torture survivors.  Jackfish will have you mesmerized and running the gamut of emotions. Not since, "Bastard Out of Carolina" have you been so moved by a book of this kind. Don&#039;t let your group miss this. The author writes, “This book is dedicated to all those people who battle with the demons of guilt, shame addiction, and mental illness.” Take a look at BookBuffet Reviewer, Dee Raffo&#039;s review.]]></description>

Late last month, the ruler of Dubai, Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, upped the ante: His eponymous foundation launched a similar project, albeit one that aims to translate 365 books in its first year – or, in other words, one per day.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Since I don&#039;t have television, it&#039;s difficult to keep up with daytime shows like Oprah. But I happened to be traveling and turned on the hotel tube to see Barbara Walters&#039; appearance on Oprah — talk about female power! Surprisingly, it sounds like Barbara has written an interesting book, which she titled, Audition: A Memoir because she&#039;s been doing just that her whole life. I picked up a copy and thumbed through it and here what is in store for all you BW fans. Auditions is published by Knopf May 6th,2008.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The cello is both the most beautiful and sorrowful of stringed instruments. And so, it is only fitting that The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway (Knopf, Canada April 2008) is a story of extraordinary beauty and imagination that will sweep you off your feet with its compelling prose.  "One day a shell lands in a bread line and kills twenty-two people as the cellist watches from a window in his flat. He vows to sit in the hollow where the mortar fell and play Albinoni’s Adagio once a day for each of the twenty-two victims... " Entice your book group to read this month&#039;s Wine & Book selection, The Cellist of Sarajevo, based on the true story of Vedran Smailovic. Listen to the music while you taste the old-world wines from the region for a truly moving discussion and a memorable experience.]]></description>

And PUBLIC LIVES-PRIVATE LIVES from the PEN Society&#039;s "International Voices Festival". This year’s theme  couldn&#039;t be more timely. How do we draw a line between our private and public selves? When must we tell private stories for the public good? How, as readers, writers, and citizens, do we confront threats to our privacy? What is still considered private in the Internet age? Do we need to redefine the meaning of public and private in the 21st century? The writers in this year’s Festival will mine this rich theme in a variety of literary conversations, panels, readings, and performances. Links and details inside.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA["In Farewell, My Subaru: An Epic Adventure in Local Living, Doug Fine writes about his hilarious adventures in green living and some surprising facts he discovered about energy consumption; such as, it takes several thousand gallons of jet fuel to fly an organic banana from Honduras to Silver City, NM, or three times the amount of fuel he uses in his car each year. After graduating from Stanford, Doug Fine strapped on a backpack and traveled to five continents, reporting from remote perches in Burma, Rwanda, Laos, Guatemala and Tajikistan. He is a correspondent for NPR and PRI and the author of Not Really An Alaskan Mountain Man. His work has appeared in the Washington Post, Wired, US News and World Report, Christian Science Monitor, and Outside magazine. A native of Long Island, he lives in an obscure valley in Southern New Mexico alongside many goats and coyotes. Visit his web site at www.dougfine.com]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[With the news of world-wide protests over China&#039;s behavior in Tibet, and the resulting disruptions of the Olympic torch ceremonies for the Summer Games in Beijing, it seems appropriate that this year&#039;s PEN Freedom to Write Award go to imprisoned Chinese writer Yang Tongyan who is serving a 12-year prison term for posting anti-government articles on the Internet. What role does the PEN society perform and why should we care?]]></description>
