If only one book could make the case, though, it would have to be Derek Parfit\u2019s work of moral philosophy,\u00a0<em>Reasons and Persons.<\/em> Almost thirty years old, it endures through a combination of novel thought and unimpeachable style.\u00a0And, unlike much\u00a0analytic philosophical\u00a0writing, Parfit\u2019s words have a vigorous sense of purpose, a compassion and focus reminiscent of Simone Weil and George Orwell.\u00a0Favorite sections include teletransportation, indistinct selves, the <a href=\"http:\/\/plato.stanford.edu\/entries\/repugnant-conclusion\/\" target=\"_blank\">repugnant conclusion<\/a>, and the opening sentence: \u201cLike my cat, I often simply do what I want to do.\u201d<strong> \u2014Tyler Bourgeois<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am continually captivated by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.underwatersculpture.com\/index.asp\" target=\"_blank\">underwater art<\/a> of \u201ceco-sculptor\u201d Jason deCaires Taylor\u2014or, rather, what happens to it. Taylor submerges his work\u2014predominantly human figures\u2014in the waters of the West Indies and in the Gulf of Mexico. Over time, the permanent installations come to act as artificial reefs, attracting corals, aggregating fish species, and increasing marine biomass. Most of Taylor\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.underwatersculpture.com\/pages\/gallery\/evolucion-silenciosa.html\" target=\"_blank\">figures<\/a> stand with their faces upturned to the surface, their eyes closed, as they are silently and arrestingly overtaken by algae, sponges, and hydrozoans. The overall impression is one of indomitable spirit within metamorphosis: creatures coming to life.<strong> \u2014Anna Hadfield<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I am sad every time I think about missing the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/The-Winding-Hall-of-Fate-The-Betsy-Tacy-Convention-2012\/147727871980388\" target=\"_blank\">2012 Betsy-Tacy convention<\/a>, which takes place the weekend of July 19\u201322 in what the world may call Mankato, but every Betsy-Tacy fan knows as Deep Valley, Minnesota.\u00a0Maud Hart-Lovelace\u2019s ten-book series\u2014a fictionalized account of her own childhood and young adulthood\u2014sees heroine Betsy Ray and her crowd grow from children to young marrieds, and the early twentieth century matures with them. So vivid is the world, so beloved the characters, that the reader feels she knows them. Maybe seeing the real-life modern Mankato\u2014even the childhood homes the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.betsy-tacysociety.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Betsy-Tacy Society<\/a> has painstakingly restored\u2014would fail to match that picture. But one day, I\u2019d like a chance to see for myself! In the meantime, I\u2019m carrying <a href=\"http:\/\/www.betsy-tacysociety.org\/immortal-trio-tote-bag\" target=\"_blank\">the tote<\/a>.<strong> \u2014Sadie Stein<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheretheycreate.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Where They Create<\/a>\u201d is an ever-growing collection of photographs of creative spaces by Australian photographer Paul Barbera. His images of offices, studios, and workshops everywhere from New York to Bangkok tend to focus on small details while effectively capturing the greater atmosphere of the locations. There is something poetic about the photographs, but at the same time they are humble, delicate, and, above all, honest. None of the spaces are prepared or tidied before Barbera\u2019s arrival; he finds beauty in the chaos. Looking through this collection, which is also available in book form, you might get the sinking feeling that your own creative space is desperately inadequate. Well, I\u2019m afraid that in comparison to places like the offices of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheretheycreate.com\/index.php\/other-projects\/studio-toogood-design-london\/\" target=\"_blank\">Studio TooGood<\/a> in London, it probably is.<strong> \u2014Arthur Holland Michel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf this had been something in a novel, it would just have been irritating. I have in fact done a lot of reading, particularly in the last few years, but earlier, too, by all means, and I have thought about what I read, and that kind of coincidence seems far-fetched in fiction, in modern novels anyway, and I find it hard to accept.&#8221; So the narrator of Per Petterson\u2019s <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Out-Stealing-Horses-A-Novel\/dp\/1555974708\" target=\"_blank\">Out Stealing Horses<\/a><\/em> introduces a crucial plot point in this vivid, engrossing novel about a boy and his father in the Norwegian countryside after World War II. I love that move (there must be a word for it) when a storyteller makes us believe in something implausible by pointing out its implausibility, its tackiness even.<strong> &mdash;L.
