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!
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.
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.
For poet Ray Gonzalez, growing up in El Paso during the 1960s was a time of loneliness and vulnerability. He encountered discrimination in high school not only for being Latino but also for being a non-athlete in a school where sports were important. Like many young people, he found diversion in music; unlike most, he found solace in the desert. In these vignettes, Gonzalez shares memories of boyhood that tell how he discovered the natural world and his creative spirit. Through 29 storylike essays, he takes readers into the heart of the desert and the soul of a developing poet. Gonzalez introduces us to the people who shaped his life. We learn of his father's difficulties with running a pool hall and of his grandmother's steadfast religious faith. We meet sinister Texas Rangers, hallucinatory poets, illegal aliens, and racist high school jocks. His vivid recollections embrace lizard hunts and rattlesnake dreams, rock music and menudo making—all in stories that convey the pains and joys of growing up on the border. As Gonzalez leads us through his desert of hope and vision, we come to recognize the humor and sadness that permeate this special place.

The Invention of the Kaleidoscope is a book of poetic elegies that discuss failures: failures of love, both sexual and spiritual; failures of the body; failures of science, art and technology; failures of nature, imagination, memory and, most importantly, the failures inherent to elegiac narratives and our formal attempt to memoralize the lost. But the book also explores the necessity of such narratives, as well as the creative possibilities implicit within the “failed elegy,” all while examining the various ways that self-destruction can turn into self-preservation.
