PodQueueArrival: A Special Public Lecture by Rawi Hage and Madeleine ThienMay 8, 2015
If the world is in a constant state of motion, expansion and collapse, then all arrivals are a moving rest, a hesitation in motion. Arrival is never passive. It is not neutral and it is never innocent for those who arrive or those who are preceded.
Arrival could be imagined as the continuous evolution of the self, a form of renewal or reinvention. We seek it out, anticipating an ending. But what of those who never intended to arrive? As Italo Calvino writes, “But how have I managed to arrive, when I have not yet left?”

In a novel inspired by Hannah Arendt’s insight—“One can’t say how life is, how chance or fate deals with people, except by telling the tale”—Thien transports us to the Sea, an abandoned military outpost turned “no man’s land,” a stopping point for refugees.
Seven-year-old Lina and her father, Wui, carry only three blue-covered volumes: the lives of Spinoza, Du Fu and Arendt.

But it was difficult to find the internal peace and privacy to begin again, especially after being catapulted into the public eye by the previous novel’s success. Paul Kobrak followed her over several months as she created the first drafts of the new novel. It is a process which moves from Berlin to Brooklyn and finally to Portugal's capital city Lisbon.

FaberBooksNervous Conditions Audio Book ExtractSet in Rhodesia in the 1960s, almost twenty years before Zimbabwe won independence and ended white minority rule, the novel’s heroine, Tambudzai Sigauke, embarks on her education. On her shoulders rest the economic hopes of her parents, siblings, and extended family, and within her burns the desire for “personhood,” to no longer be part of such an “undistinguished humanity.”
Immediately acclaimed by Alice Walker and Doris Lessing, the book has come to be considered one of Africa’s most important novels of the twentieth century.' Madeleine Thien2021-03-2302 min

Smarty Pants#57: No-No NovelIn 1956, John Okada wrote the first Japanese-American novel, No-No Boy, a story about a Nisei draft-resister who returns home to Seattle after years in prison. It should have been a sensation: American literature had seen nothing like it before. But the book went of print, Okada never published again, and the writer died in obscurity in 1971. That would have been the end of the story, were it not for a band of Asian-American writers in 1970s California who stumbled upon the landmark novel in a used bookshop.
