    Book Box| A reader in Spain: Málaga, Seville, and the real Costa del Crime (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I am in Spain. Unlike last week, this is not armchair travel. I am drenched in sweat, the Spanish sun beating down on me as I wheel two suitcases through the cobbled streets of Málaga, streets that might have been atmospheric had I not been dragging my bags over them. My “studio in the historic district” won’t let me check in before 3 pm, never mind that my flight landed at eight in the morning. Instead, someone styling themselves “Málaga Muse” directs me to a luggage locker. Twenty euros and tw

    Book Box | Inside Hammock: Literary magazine in an AI age (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A literary magazine is like a lucky dip — you never know what will come your way. This is what draws me to these publications. I subscribe to the New Yorker, the Mekong Review and now Hyphen and open up every issue with excitement - Will I find something dark and strange? A story that leaves me wondering why I have never read this writer before? Or a laugh out loud treat? Almost certainly, literary magazines are where offbeat work turns up long before it reaches the regular bookshelves. So it is

    Book Box: The teacher I didn’t want to be (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I’d read To Sir, With Love and was touched by this story of a teacher in London’s impoverished East End changing lives. Later I read Teach Like Your Hair’s on Fire, where author Rafe Esquith teaches low-income kids in Los Angeles, using art and music to inspire children. I remembered my own debts to my teachers – Teacher Nargis at my convent school who made dry history that was full of dates to be memorised suddenly sound like a story, and later at IIM Calcutta professors like Indivar Kamtekar,

    Book Box: The book my brother will actually read (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I started telling my brother stories when he was about five. He was a picky eater, and as the eldest girl in the family, I was sometimes assigned the job of feeding him lunch or dinner. I soon discovered that the job became much easier if I told him a story he liked. This was my first training in pleasing an audience, and it would stand me in good stead decades later, when I stood before MBA classes teaching Storytelling in Business and Persuasive Communications. The winning stories were always

    Book Box: Honey, Mustard and the Art of getting back to life (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Two days after returning from the hospital, I fall violently ill with a cough and fever. “It’s your immune system finally collapsing now that the adrenaline and cortisol of dealing with a crisis is gone,” my doctor friend says. Lying at home, in my fevered state with a sandpapery throat, I crave my favourite concoction. I used to make this mixture for the girls, to soothe their sore throats – one part ginger juice, one part lemon juice, one part basil leaf juice, and one part honey. I’d tempt th
