POPULARITY
Lucy Fitz Gibbon wears many hats: she's a soprano whose repertoire spans from the Renaissance to the present day, she teaches at Cornell and Bard, and she has been known to dig around in libraries for a manuscript or two
In the first official episode of Delicious Word Sandwich, which critics have acclaimed as "Wait, what is it?" and "Get out of my office", Ol' Matty is resurrected by his Librarian Overlords so that they may recover their treasured literary works from his corpse, which had been lost when Ol' Matty climbed Mount Kilimanjaro hoping to ask the snow leopard, as described (dead) in Hemingway's 1936 story, what exactly it was looking for. Apparently, Ol' Matty insisted, the final thoughts are "inscribed on the brain, the delicious, delicious brain". The guy eats books and only sometimes turns them into sandwiches, so I don't know what I expected. Through painstaking analysis and an astounding and worryingly encyclopedic mind filled with the history of Hemingway and his stories, Ol' Matty breaks down the titan of Ernest's short-story work into bread (Background), meat/meat-substitute (Story), cheese (Characters), sauce (Themes) and seasoning (final thoughts/feelings), because he clearly has never heard of vegetables.For his first full-fledged analysis, Ol' Matty thought it best to begin with a short-story, hoping to keep it short and sweet. Short and Sweet, that's what he said. In 1936, "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" was published in Esquire Magazine, and is considered the most artistically triumphant of all of Hemingway's works, many ranking it alongside his acclaimed novels such as "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and "The Old Man and the Sea". This short-story tells the tale of a writer on his death-bed, reflecting on his life and who he has become, plagued more by his rotting regret than the gangrene in his leg. As he waits impatiently for the disappointing sensation of death, he talks with his wife, Helen, whose wealth he blames for corrupting his talent and worth, and passes in and out of consciousness into reverie of story's left untold, some better left as such, the women he's known and the talent he's wasted. In the end, it's a tale of one realising both the purity and the corruption that exists within a soul, among other things. Also, Ol' Matty experimented far too much trying to replicate the taste of gangrene. Love stories? Love hearing about the tales of old with Ol' Matty but want to know them yourself? Want to join the Book Club Sandwich but don't have the time or desire to sit down and read? Well, you nit, check out Audible, where you can drive to your destination and faraway lands all at once. P.S. Audible, please sponsor me. "The Snows of Kilimanjaro and other stories" read by Stacey Keach (AKA Detective Mike Hammer) is available on Audible A film adaptation starring Gregory Peck and directed by Henry King was made in 1952. It does not mirror the story's ending and does about as well as one would expect a film based on a short-story to do. Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner turn in good performances. Until next time, my Quixotes! Tuesday week Ol' Matty and his new best friend, the demon Breaderick, shall return with a metamorphosis and analysis of Sylvia Plath's "The Bell Jar". Ol' Matty doesn't have a literature degree, but he does read a lot: If you want to read more about the best novels of 2018 as according to the New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/2018-in-review/the-best-books-of-2018For more about V.S.

Dave Feick, executive director of The Micah Mission, has spent his life meeting people wherever they are and walking along with them for a bit. In these spaces, which he often views as holy moments, he recognizes the importance of breaking down walls and learning to build bridges with one another to achieve reconciliation. Dave believes that the purpose of reconciliation is to live compatibly with one another and to not put people into a mold that society wants them to be. Dave has challenged these molds many times in his work as a prison chaplain and reintegration chaplain. He has witnessed that, “Our prisons today are very much the residential schools of yesterday. We are still finding ways to oppress people, we are trying to make them fit into a certain type of mold that society wants. And it’s just not working.” He challenges us to work towards reconciliation by visiting those who are or have been incarcerated. “Treating them with respect and understanding their situation goes a much longer way than to ignore them and reject them.”We invited Dave into our house and around our dining room table to have a conversation around these five questions: 1. How would you define reconciliation?2. What experiences have defined this understanding?3. Where have you seen grace in the reconciliation journey?4. How would you invite other people into understanding reconciliation?5. Why is reconciliation important to you?Then we recorded his reflections. ******************************************************Links from the episode: Micah MissionTRC Calls to Action Canada’s prisons are the ‘new residential schools’ by Nancy Macdonald, Feb 18, 2016Broken system: Why is a quarter of Canada’s prison population Indigenous? by Vicki Chartrand, February 18, 2018For indigenous women, prisons are the adult version of residential schoolsby Carol Finlay, March 28, 2016Mennonite Central Committee Saskatchewan ****************************************************** Reconcile: Everyday Conversations is a project of Mennonite Central Committee Saskatchewan.
