So after considering and rejecting a number of other possibilities I harnessed my most determined version of myself, picked up my copy of Alice Munro and started reading.īecause reading Alice Munro is like finding yourself in the most perfect, most lovely little glade with a pool of water fed by softly flowing waterfalls, warmed by a perfectly angled and channelled sunlight, rimmed by weeping willows and sweet-scented climbing flowers where the grass is just perfectly warm and perfectly soft and the only sound is birdsong and the gentle rush of water, and somehow you’re entirely alone, unhurried, with nowhere to go. This is how I’ve ended up with a collection of Alice Munro’s short stories that’s been unread for several years, and my instinct after Leaves of Grass and Moby Dick was to give myself something a little easier, a little less of a challenge to read, but I’m all about challenging my instincts these days and it felt like confronting my dislike of short stories was the way to go. I have a bunch of short story collections in my library and every time I think about picking one up my mind goes ‘ugh’ and I think about all the disjointedness and the effort in moving from one story to another without continuation or common theme and I think ‘no way’ and the short story collection goes back on the shelf unread. Steve Paulson: You were very close to your father, who died suddenly from a heart attack. You can subscribe to the TTBOOK podcast here. Our conversation aired on Public Radio International’s To the Best of Our Knowledge. I talked with Macdonald about falconry, wildness, and the dangers of cutting yourself off from the human world. Part of the drama of this story is to see how she pulls herself back from the brink once she’s become “more hawk than human.” A griffon from the pages of an illuminated bestiary.” The goshawk is a feral creature who leads Macdonald into the depths of her own inner wildness. “My head jumps sideways,” she writes of the first time she sees her hawk. A dazzling writer, Macdonald has an almost incantatory power to evoke wonder. H is for Hawk won Britain’s Samuel Johnson Prize for nonfiction, and it’s now landed on bestseller lists in America. It’s a hybrid of a book - a blend of nature writing and memoir, as well as a mini-biography of another hawk enthusiast, the fantasy writer T.H. White. We can now add Helen Macdonald’s name to England’s celebrated tradition of nature writers - except that she would probably bristle at being labeled a “nature writer.” In her new book H is for Hawk, Macdonald tells the story of the goshawk she acquires and trains to help her cope with the grief from her father’s death.

In those without the condition, the upper throat muscles work to keep the throat open for airflow to the lungs. In its first description in 1965, this disorder was characterized by short disturbances in breathing while sleeping. This potentially serious condition is quite common. In more severe manifestations, sleep apnea is associated with serious illnesses including, high blood pressure, stroke, and even heart attack. This may sound harmless, but it can result in fatigue during the day. The individual may not even be aware that there is a problem, as the body will restart breathing while he or she is still sleeping. Complex sleep apnea syndrome happens when the individual suffers from both central and obstructive sleep apnea. The more common form of obstructive sleep apnea occurs when throat muscles relax, and air cannot flow in and out through the nose and mouth. There are different types of sleep apnea: Central sleep apnea happens when the brain fails to send signals to muscles that control and initiate breathing. Sleep apnea can occur when breathing is interrupted while sleeping.

McAdams was cast in this role because she’s an amazing actress-in the “big scene” when Margaret gets what she’s been praying for, McAdams is so alive and kinetic, cycling through 400 reactions and emotions in the span of seconds, like a mother would. Over the course of the film, you see her realize how delusional that is-the very reason her family works so well is because they allow themselves to be the antithesis of convention. McAdams plays Margaret’s mom, Barbara, an artist who moves her family to the New Jersey suburbs because she thinks it will allow them to live a Norman Rockwell life. But I was struck in the film by how much of the story is Margaret’s mother’s arc, too. This film, and the classic book Judy Blume wrote, is about a young girl coming of age. The more I sit with this movie, the more I realize how brilliant McAdams is in it. What struck me, though, was the way that it all bounced off her mother, played by Rachel McAdams.
