I remember very well few of the things of my days at Blairmont when I was a four year old. One of those I looked forward to was when I finished school in the afternoon, I would walk back home and stop out at my Dad’s office where he would stand outside waiting for me to give me a rubber band. That in those days was for me a special kind of toy to play with forever. My Dad was then working as a chemist in the plantation laboratory. They checked for sugar quality and content in the cane grown in the plantation. The way back from school was interesting. From school I walk for a few minutes on a narrow road on both sides of which was nicely cut grass to a high bridge, over a canal. The grassed, green area has on one side a big grocery store, run by my parents’ friend. They had several children- one or two of them were already married. On the other side of the green area was a rum-shop -in a prominent location. Not far away was the ‘pay office’ where people went on Saturday to get their pay. Past the high bridge ahead was the locomotive train line. That ran from the sugar factory to a stelling on the riverside. From there boats would carry sugar from the factory to Georgetown and from there into larger boats to England. Past the train line on one side is the large single story office building in a large open lawned area. Opposite, set in an open lawned area surrounded by medium height trees for privacy, was the majestic three-storey General Manager’s house. Past that, I turn left into a road leading to Dad’s workplace. On one side of that road was the plantation’s senior staff club house with lawn tennis court. On the other side was their swimming pool, screened by trees. Further along past Dad’s office, was the plantation hospital. After that a straight road, with houses on both sides to our house, the last one.

Three years, half a million miles of travel across the world, a huge number of first time visits, and a vast collection of new experiences and memories...This is the unique focus of Extraordinarily Rich Memories Of My First Time In....by Maurice Samuel. In it, he shares these personal experiences, that he wrote contemporaneously as emails to friends between 2007-2010. From playing the Pied Piper in Mumbai, swimming with sea lions in the Galapagos, being stopped by police on his way to Guantanamo, bathing at night in the Dead Sea, partying at Christmas in hyper-exclusive Mustique, horseback riding in the wilds of Cotopaxi volcano, whitewater rafting and zip-lining in Costa Rica, the ups and downs of Carnaval in Santa Cruz...and many, many more. Whilst the book’s focus is this period, he brings it up to date, with his more recent experiences from travels to places like Kazakhstan, where he is constantly asked for selfies, his struggles to leave Uzbekistan, and taking a two week cruise through South East Asia without knowing where it’s going from day to day. The book is richly illustrated with his personal photographs and videos.
A collection of memories and experiences while serving with Co A, 101st Aviation Battalion, the "Winged Warriors", as a helicopter pilot in Vietnam from December 1965 to November 1966.
Hunger of Memory is the story of Mexican-American Richard Rodriguez, who begins his schooling in Sacramento, California, knowing just 50 words of English, and concludes his university studies in the stately quiet of the reading room of the British Museum. Here is the poignant journey of a “minority student” who pays the cost of his social assimilation and academic success with a painful alienation — from his past, his parents, his culture — and so describes the high price of “making it” in middle-class America. Provocative in its positions on affirmative action and bilingual education, Hunger of Memory is a powerful political statement, a profound study of the importance of language ... and the moving, intimate portrait of a boy struggling to become a man.
City of Memories, a debut novel by Richard Ali, follows Faruk Ibrahim, his father, his lover and her mother as they negotiate peculiar Nigerian traumas. Towering above them is the story of Ummi al-Qassim, a princess of Bolewa, and the feud, madness and death that attend her first love affairs. All four are bracketed by the modern city of Jos in central Nigeria, where political supremacy and perverse parental love become motives for ethno-religious crisis designed to destroy the Nigerian State. "(City of Memories) is an epic journey about identity, political and religious affiliations and above all, mistrust." - Alison Locke, author of Maysun and the Wingfish. "(City of Memories) is a fine attempt to witness and step up to collective memory. It is as much about a triumphant love affair as it is about a nation at the brink of collapse." - Emmanuel Iduma, publisher, Saraba Magazine. "(City of Memories) tackles the big question of what love really means, set during the time of religious and ethnic upheavals in Northern-Central Nigeria. A beautiful book of self-discovery by a young author to watch." - A. M. Bakalar, author of Madame Mephisto.
