These moving and bittersweet stories are brought to life by Dabek's eye for the perfect, elucidating detail. Alison Bechdel, author of Fun Home Nina Dabek's scintillating, insightful stories live at the intersection of funny and sad. Brilliantly depicting moments in the life of one worried, loving woman, they remind us that ordinary life is never ordinary, and is also more dangerous than we might think. Still, with the right partner-a woman as loving as she is, but calmer-and two always-surprising daughters, happiness may be saved. I loved reading this book and did not want it to end. Alice Mattison, author of Conscience I loved this book. Nina Dabek sketches domestic life so delicately and in such a disarmingly frank way. Plus, her perfect deadpan humor kills me. Nostalgia, grief, gratitude, devotion, it's all here-all the beauty and difficulty of living in the world. Catherine Newman, author of Catastrophic Happiness My Father's Wife and My Daughter's Emu is a touching and nuanced portrait of a woman's passage from the delusions of childhood to the revelations and burdens of adulthood. Nina Dabek is a wise, subtle writer, and her debut collection is impressive. Lynne Sharon Schwartz, author of Truthtelling The middle of three sisters, Naomi grows up in late 20th century New York, a city as rich in opportunity as it is fraught with hidden hazards. Not the least of these spring from the minefields of family life. Just as Naomi comes into her own, history enters to reframe the narrative. Dabek is a writer of considerable clarity and grace. The story she tells, in propulsive prose, is affirming, yes, and utterly contemporary, but it's not without shadows giving the whole a Chekhovian richness and depth. Askold Melnyczuk, author of The Man Who Would Not Bow -- In the first half of this psychological and subtly humorous collection of linked short stories we meet the child and adolescent Naomi, who lives in the Bronx with her two sisters and her parents. Naomi not only grapples with the complexity of her relationships, her family's mysteries, and the world around her, but also finds her way to her lesbian identity. In the second half, the adult Naomi experiences the challenges and pleasures of lesbian motherhood, while continuing to untangle her father's past and present and her complicated love for him. My Father's Wife and My Daughter's Emu by Nina Dabek follows the trajectory of one lesbian's life - from childhood to motherhood - as she makes sense of the world.

For some time I have been preparing a general work on primitive superstition and religion. Among the problems which had attracted my attention was the hitherto unexplained rule of the Arician priesthood; and last spring it happened that in the course of my reading I came across some facts which, combined with others I had noted before, suggested an explanation of the rule in question. As the explanation, if correct, promised to throw light on some obscure features of primitive religion, I resolved to develop it fully, and, detaching it from my general work, to issue it as a separate study. This book is the result. Now that the theory, which necessarily presented itself to me at first in outline, has been worked out in detail, I cannot but feel that in some places I may have pushed it too far. If this should prove to have been the case, I will readily acknowledge and retract my error as soon as it is brought home to me. Meantime my essay may serve its purpose as a first attempt to solve a difficult problem, and to bring a variety of scattered facts into some sort of order and system. A justification is perhaps needed of the length at which I have dwelt upon the popular festivals observed by European peasants in spring, at midsummer, and at harvest. It can hardly be too often repeated, since it is not yet generally recognised, that in spite of their fragmentary character the popular superstitions and customs of the peasantry are by far the fullest and most trustworthy evidence we possess as to the primitive religion of the Aryans. Indeed the primitive Aryan, in all that regards his mental fibre and texture, is not extinct. He is amongst us to this day. The great intellectual and moral forces which have revolutionised the educated world have scarcely affected the peasant. In his inmost beliefs he is what his forefathers were in the days when forest trees still grew and squirrels played on the ground where Rome and London now stand.

Warlpiri songs hold together the ceremonies that structure and bind social relationships, and encode detailed information about Warlpiri country, cosmology and kinship. Today, only a small group of the oldest generations has full knowledge of ceremonial songs and their associated meanings, and there is widespread concern about the transmission of these songs to future generations. While musical and cultural change is normal, threats to attrition driven by large-scale external forces including sedentarisation and modernisation put strain on the systems of social relationships that have sustained Warlpiri cultures for millennia. Despite these concerns, songs remain key to Warlpiri identity and cultural heritage. Vitality and Change in Warlpiri Songs draws together insights from senior Warlpiri singers and custodians of these song traditions, profiling a number of senior singers and their views of the changes that they have witnessed over their lifetimes. The chapters in this book are written by Warlpiri custodians in collaboration with researchers who have worked in Warlpiri communities over the last five decades. Spanning interdisciplinary perspectives including musicology, linguistics, anthropology, cultural studies, dance ethnography and gender studies, chapters range from documentation of well-known and large-scale Warlpiri ceremonies, to detailed analysis of smaller-scale public rituals and the motivations behind newer innovative forms of ceremonial expression. Vitality and Change in Warlpiri Songs ultimately uncovers the complexity entailed in maintaining the vital components of classical Warlpiri singing practices and the deep desires that Warlpiri people have to maintain this important element of their cultural identity into the future.
