The Kaleidoscope of Memories Ryan Matthews said his memories were like a kaleidoscope — all bright shards, that one moment made a bright image, and fell apart the next. And that was before someone hit him over the head with a sap and scrambled his brain. He likened it to a filing cabinet that had been tipped over and now all the papers must be resorted and filed. And as his best friend said, they hadn't been all that well organized to begin with. It felt like there were more than one Ryan Matthews. And at least one of them, wanted to take over and run his life. Ryan remembered that Ryan. He'd been a ruthless little bastard. And if he won — Ryan at 20 — Ryan stood to lose a lot of things he valued about his life now. Starting with his wife and son. A collection of short stories in the Newsroom PDX series that covers the summer between book 11, Memory, and book 12, Hunted. It includes Fire Drill, also available separately. EWN thinks of Ryan as their own private soap opera — and that's what they do know. What they don't know? Well, that's what short stories are for. Caution: The short stories may have more triggers and/or sex than the series itself. You've been warned!
Through its unique kaleidoscopic lens, this book analyzes the work of Algeria’s first postcolonial woman writer to publish a novel in Arabic, Ahlam Mosteghanemi. Her novels Memory in the Flesh and Chaos of the Senses return to the trauma of the Algerian War of Independence to address the lingering anxieties of national belonging and memory in postcolonial Algeria at a time when the nation is caught between two forces: entrenched bureaucratic-political elites and populist Islamists, who imagine a return to a pre-modern, utopian past. This book argues that Mosteghanemi’s polyphonic narratives reveal that national narratives are always multiple—“unity” is not one, all-encompassing narrative, but instead an ever-evolving Bakhtinian dialogism accommodating multiple perspectives, memories, and stories. The study interprets Mosteghanemi’s metaphor of the bridge as a powerful device for exploring tensions between reality and imagination, exile and belonging, and traditional concepts of gender in ways that reimagine nationhood and gesture towards a new, collective future.
Set in the days of violent revolution against British rule in India, "A Living Memory" begins in a remote village, Alipur, at the bank of Mahi River in India, where families live in harmony in a close-knit community surrounding a sugar mill. Life in the community remains serene, not affected by the outside turmoil, as Romi and Tushar grow up playing and having adventures in a rural setup. As they mature, their paths diverge but they remain in close contact maintaining their old intimacy. One day a young girl, Runu, is found missing from her home. She was being held captive by a man of authority in the community. Later, as she walks to a house late one night, Tushar and his friends recognize her and bring her back home. The story then begins to unfold the life of Runu, along with Tushar, as she goes through a tumultuous life in uncertainty and disappointments as well as love and hopes. She longs for reaching her living memories and to her dismay finds that time has robbed her dreams. The story reflects the complexities of life in love, desire and social conflicts. Life in a small close community with scenes of a rural village in India has been eloquently described. Significant historical events, like the revolt against colonial power, great famine and horror of communal riots of the1930s and 40s that changed the social and political landscape of India are entwined with the characters' lives. Born in India, the author was educated and professionally engaged in scientific disciplines and moved to the United States in the 60s. On the literary side, he has written many short stories and essays for various magazines and published his first novel, "Her Own Path" in 2002.
The Advents were to be Humanity's saviour.... Historical records say the Advents just appeared. Millions of powerful ruptures in space providing a limitless energy supply. A solution to one of Humanity's greatest problems. It needed two galaxy-spanning wars for people to understand that humans need such change to be enforced. Now, they have turned towards the rigidity, structure and safety offered by the Conglomerate and its Corporations. Everyone is born into a life as dictated by the needs of all. Where careers are defined for all. Full and comprehensive training is given to all. Everyone works towards their ultimate potential as judged for them by the Conglomerate, and they all serve willingly. Almost all of them anyway. Kidnapped, a graduate wants to believe he is different… Thrain Attandee has always wanted to know more than is good for him. More than is accepted as good for society in general, and someone has fed that hunger. Now, after pushing the authorities too far, he is snatched away to face something he never expected: the possibility of getting what he wants. Used to her normal, safe life, all an ambitious associate wants is to return to it… On the fast track to rise as high as her career path will allow, Morgan has her own life turned upside down as she reluctantly joins the hunt for Thrain. Working with the frustrating Mr Jones who seems thrown out of time, she will be forced to endure excitement and terror – things the Conglomerate fears and will seek to contain.

Life is much the same as the kaleidoscope. After being twisted and turned, it will always reveal something new and beautiful; but only if we take the time to hold it up to the light and look insideLife is like being inside a "beautiful form watcher". Every day brings a new picture of changing forms and colors, some more beautiful than others.Sometimes the colors and shapes are dark and ominous looking and at other times bright, happy colors and shapes dance through the day.On the one hand life deals us the sad events like death in a family and on the other hand beautiful happy events balance the sad ones. When you peer into a kaleidoscope, you see something beautiful. But after you turn it or shake it up, destroying what is there, and hold it up to the light again, you will see something new and different, but equally beautiful. The poetry within these covers is meant to take you on a journey of memory.
