Your novel focuses on one woman, Mei Foong, who must protect her family as best as she can from the horrors of war. ![]() With every page I wrote, my strength returned. I remembered a dream I’d had of writing a novel loosely based on my great-grandmother’s life. It was a miracle: the act of putting words into sentences transformed me. I found no equilibrium – until I started writing. The ground beneath me seemed to have collapsed. When chemo ended I thought I would be better, but I felt worse. Chemo took place over four months, during which I had a medical routine. ![]() In 2009, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I began writing out of desperation and a cherished dream. Tell us about your career change from city trader to writer and how it affected your life. Her second novel, When The Future Comes Too Soon (Amazon Publishing, £8.99) , continues the story and shows the country trying to cope with the Second World War. She has since written two books, the first of which took inspiration from her great-grandmother and explored Malaya in the 19th century. She quit her job as a city trader and started writing. After being diagnosed with cancer in 2009, Selina Siak Chin Yoke decided on a career change. ![]() ![]() ![]() M’Baku, out of T’Challa’s princely shadow for the first time, is in danger of losing himself, while T’Challa must find an identity separate from that which his royal status affords him. The novel ably depicts the pressure both boys feel to assimilate into American culture and nicely teases out the tensions and jealousies that simmer below the surface of their friendship. While the overall story is well-paced, readers do not spend long enough in Wakanda for T’Challa’s pre-Chicago character to fully solidify. There is unrest in Wakanda, however, and to protect his son from harm, the king sends T’Challa and M’Baku to South Side Middle School in Chicago under aliases, giving them a chance to learn about the outside world. Readers meet T’Challa while he’s still a preteen, racing through the forests of his homeland with his best friend, M’Baku, by his side. In his latest, Coretta Scott King/John Steptoe Award–winning author Smith ( Hoodoo, 2016) weaves an origin tale of T’Challa, the prince of the African Wakanda people who becomes the superhero Black Panther. T’Challa, I’ve got a feeling we’re not in Wakanda anymore. ![]() ![]() True, she might have been more comfortable on London’s docks than in its ballrooms, but Hattie’s impressive collection of life experience lacked anything close to a criminal element. In point of fact, Henrietta Sedley would never have described such a scenario as a likelihood. ![]() With such an obscure and uncommon collection of knowledge, one might imagine that Henrietta Sedley would have known precisely what to do in the likelihood she discovered a human male bound and unconscious in her carriage. She’d been able to do that for as long as she could remember. And perhaps first on the list of things she had learned in her lifetime was how to tie a Carrick bend knot. An important addendum to that particular lesson was this: The best of allies was often the best of friends. ![]() Coachmen tended to talk a fine game when it came to keeping secrets, but they were ultimately beholden to those who paid their salaries. She’d also learned that any decent escape from her Mayfair home required the cover of darkness and a carriage driven by an ally. ![]() A woman never knew when she might require a bit of rope, or a knife to cut it. She’d learned, for example, that if a lady could not get away with wearing trousers (an unfortunate reality for the daughter of an earl, even one who had begun life without title or fortune), then she should absolutely ensure that her skirts included pockets. September 1837 Mayfair In twenty-eight years and three hundred and sixty-four days, Lady Henrietta Sedley liked to think that she’d learned a few things. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It isn’t seen as “dope, phat, chill, fly, sick or da bomb.” As evidence for its diminished status, he quotes celebrations of nonsense by the Talking Heads and Zorba the Greek. Still, Pinker is troubled by what he sees as rationality’s image problem. This, he says, is “the essence of Bayesian reasoning” - assessing evidence in terms of prior knowledge. ![]() To illustrate this principle, Pinker gives the example of the San hunter-gatherers of the Kalahari Desert, who will assume that a set of ambiguous animal tracks come from a common species unless they get definitive evidence that the tracks must belong to a rarer one. We may be living through a “pandemic of poppycock,” he says, but he refuses to submit to “the cynical view that the human brain is a basket of delusions.”Īfter all, people use rationality all the time in their everyday lives, consulting the knowledge they have in order to get what they want. Pinker doesn’t believe he has much hope of reaching the anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists who indulge in the “florid fantasies” of QAnon. In “Rationality: What It Is, Why It Seems Scarce, Why It Matters,” Pinker writes as if he’s part of an embattled minority, valiantly making the case that “the ability to use knowledge to attain goals” is so underappreciated these days that the reading public needs a new book (by Pinker) “to lay out rational arguments for rationality itself.” For someone who so frequently and serenely proclaims that he’s right, Steven Pinker can get curiously defensive. ![]() ![]() “City of Angels” © 2015 by Lindsay Smith. “Hard Times” © 2015 by Katherine Longshore. ![]() “Bonnie and Clyde” © 2015 by Saundra Mitchell. “The Color of the Sky” © 2015 by Elizabeth Gatland. ![]() “The Legendary Garrett Girls” © 2015 by Y. “Gold in the Roots of the Grass” © 2015 by Marissa Meyer. “The Red Raven Ball” © 2015 by Caroline Tung Richmond. “Madeleine’s Choice” © 2015 by Jessica Spotswood.
