Whatever Gets You through the Night
\"I fear each passing night that I will not receive my maintenance dose of suspense, and then I will cease to exist.\"--Whatever Gets You through the Night
Whatever Gets You through the Nightis an irreverent and deeply funny retelling of the Arabian Nights and a wildly inspired exploration of the timeless art of storytelling. Award-winning writer Andrei Codrescu reimagines how Sheherezade saved Baghdad's virgins and her own life through a heroic feat of storytelling--one that kept the Persian king Sharyar hanging in agonizing narrative and erotic suspense for 1001 nights. For Sheherezade, the end of either suspense or curiosity means death, but Codrescu keeps both alive in this entertaining tale of how she learned to hold a king in thrall, setting with her endless invention an unsurpassable example for all storytellers across the ages. Liberated and mischievous, Codrescu's Sheherezade is as charming as she is shrewd--and so is the story Codrescu tells.

Commentary. Discourses in and about Clayoquot Sound
Among traditionally oriented Nuu-chah-nulth, discourses about beginnings and about the nature of all relationships are heard from the time of a person’s birth. These discourses explain, among other things, the origins of, and relationships between, the diversity of life-forms found in Clayoquot Sound.
The following is one such story told in the house of Keesta. Keesta was born eighty years after fur trading began and forty years before colonial settlement (circa 1900) in Clayoquot Sound. He was my great-great-grandfather, who survived into the 1950s, a full decade after my own birth.
