“I really wouldn’t like to say how much coffee I drank over the course of the book! Probably dangerous levels,” Pulley reflects. With another two novels in the works, how has she has kept up the necessary level of self-discipline. The deal with Bloomsbury went through before she went to Japan – “I think about two years ago now I knew this was coming for a long time.” The Watchmaker of Filigree Street started life as a short story “one Christmas eve six or seven years ago.” By the time Pulley started her masters in creative writing at the University of East Anglia, she had already completed a first draft of the novel, which was revised and built upon in response to peer feedback. The debut novelist is funny and thoughtful in our phone conversation, giving each question due consideration and occasionally inserting one of her own – the chance to quiz a reader is an enticing one. If a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a hurricane – well, then, what if there were two butterflies, or none? What multiple fates might hang upon the stroke of a butterfly’s wing? The future is uncertain and unfixed, and the smallest chance may alter everything. Natasha Pully's The Watchmaker of Filigree Street is a beguiling, occasionally disturbing tale, exploring the nature of genius and human flaws, of possibility and the nature of free will.

This article addresses the historical creation of the Canary Islands as spaces of isolation and spaces that isolate, and suggests how these spaces are re-appropriated and re/worked as critiques of that isolation. Key words: Irish feminine, “Mother Ireland,” re-visiting Ireland, nostalgia, Irish short stories. Her short stories approach the Irish identity from within, narrating the present from a close distance. Keegan delves into a sociological depiction of this new Ireland. Her fiction does not represent a commemoration of loss nor a return to nostalgia but, rather, a celebration of a twofold newness in Irish society as a whole and in the role of the Irish woman in particular. Among many other issues, Claire Keegan’s short fiction revisits O’Brien’s “Mother Ireland” and questions traditional and hegemonic approaches to this eternal Irish feminine within a new discourse of Ireland. In Antarctica (1999) and Walking the Blue Fields (2007), short story writer Claire Keegan’s compelling fictional skills do not only offer a re-visioning of those eternal ideals of Ireland’s past. This paper revisits that Mother Ireland of O’Brien’s fiction that has transformed herself into a (M)other Ireland best expressed through a new contemporary portrayal of her plights and predicaments. Back in 1976 Edna O’Brien published a series of essays entitled Mother Ireland in which her aim was to portray an eternal and contemporary Ireland that seemed to be anchored in a line of ancestry and remembrance, legend and truth. Armies of “free” black men labored without compensation, were repeatedly bought and sold, and were forced through beatings and physical torture to do the bidding of white masters for decades after the official abolition of American slavery. Steel-looking for cheap and abundant labor. Government officials leased falsely imprisoned blacks to small-town entrepreneurs, provincial farmers, and dozens of corporations-including U.S. Thousands of other African Americans were simply seized by southern landowners and compelled into years of involuntary servitude. With no means to pay these ostensible “debts,” prisoners were sold as forced laborers to coal mines, lumber camps, brickyards, railroads, quarries, and farm plantations. Under laws enacted specifically to intimidate blacks, tens of thousands of African Americans were arbitrarily arrested, hit with outrageous fines, and charged for the costs of their own arrests. Blackmon brings to light one of the most shameful chapters in American history-an “Age of Neoslavery” that thrived from the aftermath of the Civil War through the dawn of World War II.

Even though he isn’t able to convince the other animals to let Sprout stay on the farm, he is able to help her fulfill one wish: To sit on an egg and watch a baby hatch from it. He is allowed to stay on the farm, but he keeps his distance from the other ducks. Like Sprout, Straggler is a misfit, a wild duck among domesticated ones. While in the open grave, she meets Straggler, a mallard duck who also lives on the farm. “Nobody wants you!”ĭespite the harsh reality that Sprout has to face outside the coop, she doesn’t have to face it alone. To make matters worse, after she narrowly escapes from a menacing weasel in an open grave, the other farmyard animals, led by an arrogant rooster, reject her. However, she soon discovers that her new freedom comes with a loss of comforts such as shelter and food. After refusing to lay any more eggs for the farmer who owns her, she becomes “culled” and released from her chicken coop. Early in Sun-mi Hwang’s novel The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly, the main character, a hen named Sprout, learns about sacrifice. Humans are relatively expensive but absolutely cheap.
