Takaya
An enchanting and evocative look at the unique relationship between a solitary, island-dwelling wolf and a renowned wildlife photographer. A lone wild wolf lives on a small group of uninhabited islands in British Columbia's Salish Sea, surrounded by freighter, oil tanker and other boat traffic and in close proximity to a large urban area. His name is Takaya, which is the Coast Salish First Nations people's word for wolf. Cheryl Alexander studied and documented this unique wolf for years, unravelling the many mysteries surrounding his life. Her documentation of Takaya's journey, his life on the islands and the development of their deep connection is presented alongside a stunning collection of her photography. Through journal entries, interviews, and a stunning collection of photography, Takaya: Lone Wolf addresses a number of profound questions and tells a story that is certain to inspire, enlighten, and touch the heart. It is the story of a wild animal, alone yet at peace.
Understanding Anita Brookner
Alexander (American studies and literature, U. of Gdansk, Poland), who has written about other Jewish authors, explores the bleak worldview of a British novelist from a Polish-Jewish background. She analyzes Brookner's zoom-in portrayal of her protagonists' faith in a better world despite exile, loneliness, and acceptance of authority and a class system, in 19 short novels from The Debut (1981) to Undue Influence (1999).
