GENERAL | Where the long grass bends : stories  | Vaswani, Neela, 1974- | "Fierce and bold, these beautiful stories provide a highly kinetic exploration of sameness and difference in terms of ethnic and racial origin. Through a romp of language -- vital, outrageous, unpredictable -- the fireworks of Neela Vaswani's original genius cast shadows and illumine psyches that conventional monovisions never perceive. The stories of "Where the Long Grass Bends "are for readers willing to view the shape-shifting of both reality and literary form. Vaswani's characters embrace their fates through such rigorous birthing that what has been internal finally contains and defines them." -- Sena Jeter Naslund "If it is true, as one of Vaswani's characters claims, that a musical movement is the equivalent of a sentence, then the stories in "Where the Long Grass Bends "comprise an uncanny and beautiful symphony. This is a luminous collection, where each fiction evolves its own mythology. I want to live in the world of these stories just as I am afraid of this beautiful and often dark world. Neela Vaswani's "Where the Long Grass Bends "is lovely, strange, lyrical, full of true mystery." -- Victoria Redel "Where the Long Grass Bends" is a delight of invention and language. In whirling, catch-me-if-you-can prose, Vaswani tells stories that subvert conventional narrative by employing Indian lore, Gaelic fable, and historical legend. Spare, fierce, and unpredictable, this debut collection is boundless, even boundary-less, because Vaswani has, as David Garnett said of Virginia Woolf, a mind that sticks to nothing. Neela Vaswani lives in New York. Her short stories have appeared in numerous journals, including "Prairie Schooner, American Literary Review," and "Global CityReview." In 1999, she was awarded the Italo Calvino Prize. She is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Maryland, and teaches in the Master of Fine Arts in Writing program at Spalding University.

BIO | The last samurai : the life and battles of Saigo Takamori  | Ravina, Mark, 1961- | On September 24, 1877, Saigo Takamori, one of Japan's most loyal and honored samurai, died in the bloodiest conflict Japan had seen in over two hundred years -- a battle led by Saigo and his band of loyal students. Now, more than 125 years after his death, Saigo still remains a legendary yet enigmatic figure in Japan. Why would Japan's greatest warrior, whose sole purpose was to serve his country, set in motion a civil war and lead a group of rebel soldiers to overthrow the government that  he had personally helped to restore? The Last Samurai sets forth to demystify Saigo's life, his machinations, and the dramatic historical events that shaped the life and death of Japan's favorite samurai. Exiled for misconduct, Saigo was pardoned in 1864 and called back to the mainland to train a group of Satsuma warriors. Their mission was to seize control of the imperial palace and restore the imperial house to its former glory. Saigo's coup was successful, and in 1867 he led the drive  to destroy the shogunate and to create a powerful new state. But with Saigo's victory came a crushing defeat: in his drive to modernize Japan, the Meiji emperor, whom Saigo had helped bring to power, abolished all samurai privileges, including their ancient right to carry swords. Now an acting member of a modernizing Meiji government, Saigo was given command of the newly formed Imperial Guard, Japan's first national army in nearly a millennium. Saigo supported many of the government's Western-style reforms, but he was torn by the sense that he was betraying his most stalwart supporters. Deeply ambivalent about the government he had helped create, Saigo sought to end his career with a final dramatic gesture: he sought to go as imperial envoy to Korea, where he would  insist that the Korean king recognize the Meiji emperor. When his plan was denounced as reckless, Saigo resigned from government, returned to his native Satsuma, and opened a military academy for former samurai warriors. His group of disgruntled students resented the rapid modernization of Japan even more than did Saigo. They set forth to slow the hand of change with their swords, making Saigo the reluctant leader of their uprising. Old Japan and New Japan met in battle -- blades against  artillery -- and old Japan lost. Saigo died in battle from a bullet wound, but legend still has it that he died by his own sword, upholding samurai honor to the end. In life, Saigo had represented all that was commendable in the samurai estate. In death, Saigo's legend grew even greater. The Last Samurai deftly traces the rise, fall, and rise again of Saigo's life, his legend, and his dedication to all he believed in: tradition, honor, and glory. This compelling book provides a fascinating  glimpse into the final days of Japanese feudal society, the blood-swept path of Saigo's career, and his lasting impact on the nation to which he gave his life.
