Grant personal memoirs6/26/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He even declined suggestions from his friend Mark Twain about writing his memoirs.Ī significant event dramatically changed Grant’s mind, however. When the editors of Century Magazine requested his participation in their “Battles and Leaders of the Civil War” article series, Grant politely declined. “It’s all in Badeau,” Grant would often say.

Believing that he was a poor writer, Grant consistently refused to do anything of the kind. Grant continually encouraged him to do the same.

Before i forget by leonard pitts jr6/26/2023 ![]() Listen to Sundial Monday through Thursday on WLRN, 91.3 FM, live at 1 p.m., rebroadcast at 8 p.m. On Sundial's previous episode, we told the story of Miami's famous ventanitas and the man who invented them, the late Versailles founder Felipe Valls Sr. "I always tell people in other parts of the world that Miami is the future and that if Miami can get it together - and it's still a major 'if' - then there's hope," Pitts told us. And how he nearly ended up writing comics for Marvel. We ask this former music critic how music was his entry into commentary. We talk about the three historic killings that shaped his youth, and his world view. He’s graduating from what he calls the second-best job in the world - columnist - to the best job: full-time author. 13 episode of Sundial on WLRN, Pitts tells host Carlos Frías that the voice that won him a Pulitzer Prize for commentary isn’t going silent. President: Just who the hell do you think you are?” He showed us the courage it takes to talk about class and poverty. He challenged us to talk fearlessly about race - even when it meant he was enduring death threats. Twice a week at the Miami Herald, he forced us to pay attention with thoughtful writing on some of the most delicate and complex subjects. ![]() ![]() built a reputation by essentially asking one question over the last 30 years as a syndicated columnist: “Why is America like this?” ![]()

Nostalgia by M.G. Vassanji6/24/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The search for self runs through not just his fiction - which made him the first two-time winner of Canada's Giller Prize - but also such works as the hesitant, moving 2008 travelogue, A Place Within: Rediscovering India, about his attempts to understand the complexities of his ancestral land. ![]() Perhaps this is unsurprising given his own multi-cultural background: descended from Gujarat's Khoja community, he grew up in Kenya and Tanzania, went to the US to study at age 20, and has lived in Canada since 1978. A theme running through Vassanji's work - starting with the 1989 novel, The Gunny Sack - is the imposition of the past on the present, and how people are shaped by their histories even as they try to evade them. Vassanji's writing will know that these lines, from his latest novel, Nostalgia, could easily have come from any of his earlier narratives. But sometimes it does? Reminders of our discarded lives can not yet be completely blocked?"Īnyone familiar with M.G. "We leap from one life into another, be it imperfectly, and hope? that the past does not catch up with us. ![]()
