Hearty congratulations to Helen Garner who has won the Baillie Gifford Prize for non-fiction with her collected diaries, How to End a Story.

A glorious book - confession, analysis, memory store, comedy - which shows all the things words can do: often on the same page. AND it’s mega good value.
How to End a Story, UK cover with a photo of Garner looking out to sea, and blocks of solid orange and yellow panels with title and cover quotes from David Nicholls and Nigella Lawson

.Here is an incredible article that my mother, Dr. Shobhana Bhattacharji, wrote in 2010 about her maternal grandmother Constance Prem Nath Dass (1886-1971). An eminent educator, a single mother, a widow, a college principal during WW2 etc.

. < My maternal great-grandmother, Constance Prem Nath Dass> Here is an incredible article that my mother, Dr. Shobhana Bhattacharji, wrote in 2010. At the time, information about Constance Dass was really scarce. After that and most likely based on mum's research there’s a Wikipedia page and Constance Dass's name comes up in a series on eminent Christians such as Rajkumari Amrit Kaur. Constance Dass was an amazing woman for her times and even a century on, by our times. She went off abroad to study at Goucher College, Baltimore, USA, at the beginning of the twentieth century. She got married in her late twenties. She was widowed at a very young age. She was a single parent to six children. She was already a professiona, a teacher, before she was married. Later she became the principal of Isabella Thoburn College, Lucknow, during the Second World War ( 1939-45?). Oh, there is much more. Read on. With my mother’s permission, I am reproducing the entire article and footnotes on my blog. https://www.jayabhattacharjirose.com/a-christian-educator-in-india-constance-prem-nath-dass-1886-19711-by-dr-shobhana-bhattacharji/

“Atmo-terrorism” captures how elemental substances like air are changed by lethal elements like gas in the epoch of the Anthropocene.

I mean, as I understand it Patterson takes an active role in plotting the books, and then the editing after. He's the showrunner in a book packaging concern, basically (to mix entertainment metaphors). He's not the only one doing that out there, just the most successful.

This coming bank holiday weekend the column in the @independent.ie is going to be about my lifelong obsession with second-hand books and the places I find them in.

My presumption has always been that you either love or hate them. Are they a part of your reading life?
