A sensuous, textured novel of life in a refugee camp, long-listed for the Orwell Prize for Political Fiction On a hill overlooking a refugee camp in Sudan, a young man strings up bedsheets that, in an act of imaginative resilience, will serve as a screen in his silent cinema. From the cinema he can see all the comings and goings in the camp, especially those of two new arrivals: a girl named Saba, and her mute brother, Hagos. For these siblings, adapting to life in the camp is not easy. Saba mourns the future she lost when she was forced to abandon school, while Hagos, scorned for his inability to speak, must live vicariously through his sister. Both resist societal expectations by seeking to redefine love, sex, and gender roles in their lives, and when a businessman opens a shop and befriends Hagos, they cast off those pressures and make an unconventional choice. With this cast of complex, beautifully drawn characters, Sulaiman Addonia details the textures and rhythms of everyday life in a refugee camp, and questions what it means to be an individual when one has lost all that makes a home or a future. Intimate and subversive, Silence Is My Mother Tongue dissects the ways society wages war on women and explores the stories we must tell to survive in a broken, inhospitable environment.

Edgar Degas. Born July 19,1834-Died September 27, 1917 Degas was a French painter and sculptor who was a major player in the impressionist movement. When browsing his paintings and sculptures you will find he had a fascination with the female form and ballet dancers in particular. He was particularly grand in capturing a moment in time of everyday activities, a concept embraced by the impressionist. Throughout his life, his work evolved from traditional to impressionistic with touches of realism and expressionism. Degas began using oil paints attempting to learn the techniques of the old masters by copying their work. Later he explored pastel and gouache and wax when sculpting. Towards the end of his life, he had failing eyesight and his work became more simplistic and brightly colored. Degas did more sculpting towards the end of his life as well. Degas loved to experiment and combine mediums in new ways seeing the effect they had. Sometimes combining oil and pastels, layering and removing ink in new ways. He experimented in printmaking and using etching plates. His relentless drive to further artist techniques is inspiring. He is even said to have been an influence on Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse.
