2024 Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence: Fiction Longlist

Introducing a handful of nominees from the fiction longlist for the 2024 Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence! To see the entire longlist, click here.

Witness by Jamel Brinkley

What does it mean to take action? To bear witness? What does it cost?

In these ten stories, each set in the changing landscapes of contemporary New York City, a range of characters - from children to grandmothers to ghosts - live through the responsibility of perceiving and the moral challenge of speaking up or taking action. Though they strive to connect, to remember, to stand up for, and to really see each other, they often fall short, and the structures they build around these ambitions and failures shape not only their own futures but the legacies and prospects of their families and their city.

In its portraits of families and friendships lost and found, the paradox of intimacy, the long shadow of grief, the meaning of home, Witness enacts its own testimony. Here is a world where fortunes can be made and stolen in just a few generations, where strangers might sometimes show kindness while those we trust - doctors, employers, siblings - too often turn away, where joy comes in snatches: flowers on a windowsill, dancing in the street, glimpsing your purpose, change on the horizon.

With prose as upendingly beautiful as it is artfully, seamlessly crafted, Jamel Brinkley offers nothing less than the full scope of life and death and change in the great, unending drama of the city.

All the Sinners Bleed by S.A. Cosby

Titus Crown is the first Black sheriff in the history of Charon County, Virginia. In recent decades, Charon has had only two murders. After years of working as an FBI agent, Titus knows better than anyone that while his hometown might seem like a land of moonshine, cornbread, and honeysuckle, secrets always fester under the surface.

Then a year to the day after Titus’s election, a school teacher is killed by a former student and the student is fatally shot by Titus’s deputies. Those festering secrets are now out in the open and ready to tear the town apart.

As Titus investigates the shootings, he unearths terrible crimes and a serial killer who has been hiding in plain sight, haunting the dirt lanes and woodland clearings of Charon. With the killer’s possible connections to a local church and the town’s harrowing history weighing on him, Titus projects confidence about closing the case while concealing a painful secret from his own past. At the same time, he also has to contend with a far-right group that wants to hold a parade in celebration of the town’s Confederate history.

The Water Outlaws by S.L. Lunag

In the jianghu, you break the law to make it your own.

Lin Chong is an expert arms instructor, training the Emperor's soldiers in sword and truncheon, battle axe and spear, lance and crossbow. Unlike bolder friends who flirt with challenging the unequal hierarchies and values of Imperial society, she believes in keeping her head down and doing her job.

Until a powerful man with a vendetta rips that carefully-built life away.

Disgraced, tattooed as a criminal, and on the run from an Imperial Marshall who will stop at nothing to see her dead, Lin Chong is recruited by the Bandits of Liangshan. Mountain outlaws on the margins of society, the Liangshan Bandits proclaim a belief in justice—for women, for the downtrodden, for progressive thinkers a corrupt Empire would imprison or destroy. They’re also murderers, thieves, smugglers, and cutthroats.

Apart, they love like demons and fight like tigers. Together, they could bring down an empire.

Wandering Souls by Cecile Pin

There are the goodbyes and then the fishing out of the bodies—everything in between is speculation.

After the last American troops leave Vietnam, siblings Anh, Thanh, and Minh begin a perilous journey to Hong Kong with the promise that their parents and younger siblings will soon follow. But when tragedy strikes, the three children are left orphaned, and sixteen-year-old Anh becomes the caretaker for her two younger brothers overnight.

In the years that follow, Anh and her brothers resettle in the UK and confront their new identities as refugees, first in overcrowded camps and resettlement centers and then, later, in a modernizing London plagued by social inequality and raging anti-immigrant sentiment. Anh works in a clothing factory to pay their bills. Minh loiters about with fellow unemployed high school dropouts. Thanh, the youngest, plays soccer with his British friends after class. As they mature, each sibling reckons with survivor’s guilt, unmoored by their parents’ absence. With every choice they make, their paths diverge further, until it’s unclear if love alone can keep them together.

Told through lyrical narrative threads, historical research, voices from lost family, and notes by an unnamed narrator determined to chart their fate, Wandering Souls captures the lives of a family marked by war and loss yet relentless in the pursuit of a better future. With urgency and precision, it affirms that the most important stories are those we claim for ourselves, establishing Cecile Pin as a masterful new literary voice.

The miracles at the Blessing Ceremony, the cameramen could not take pictures of Luang Phu Tim, all of them could not press the shutters, and the flash lights were out of order, but after they asked Luang Phu Tim for his permission to take Luang Phu Tim’s pictures, all the cameras were working as normal.

Luang Phu Tim had to open his eyes while blessing the amulets. If Luang Phu Tim closed his eyes all the lights in the temple where Luang Phu Tim was blessing the amulets would went out, that happened 3 times at this Blessing Ceremony after Luang Phu Tim closed his eyes, so Luang Phu Tim decided not to close his eyes.

THIS BATCH OF AMULETS WAS BLESSED TWICE BY LUANG PHU TIM

After the Blessing Ceremony was ended at 22.00 hrs, and 9 Guru Monks (including Luang Phu Tim) had just left the temple, Luang Phu Tim returned to the Blessing Ceremony area and blessed this Batch of amulets alone again until dawn.

"Le leggende di Luang Pu Thuat" La sfida contro il re Sri Lanka!

C'è stato un tempo in cui il re Watta Khamince dello Sri Lanka era geloso della crescente ricchezza del Regno del Siam. Il re Watta Khamince dello Sri Lanka era interessato all'acquisizione di Ayutthaya come sua colonia. Dopo aver fatto guerre per conquistare il paese, il re dello Sri Lanka sfidò il re del Siam, a tradurre tutti gli alfabeti d'oro nelle scritture buddiste nell'ordine corretto entro sette giorni, ammassando sutra di alfabeti buddisti.

Il re dello Sri Lanka ha inviato sette bramini e i suoi ambasciatori ad Ayutthaya per incontrare il re della Thailandia per testare i risultati dei monaci nel loro paese. Hanno portato 84.000 pezzi di piccole parole dell'alfabeto d'oro dei sutra buddisti in 12 ciotole per l'elemosina. Queste parole dell'alfabeto combinato devono essere disposte in un particolare sutra entro sette giorni.

Se tutte le richieste fossero soddisfatte e terminate in tempo, il re dello Sri Lanka darebbe quindi tutti i tesori sui sette sampan al re del Siam come tributo. Altrimenti il re del Siam doveva pagare il tributo al re dello Sri Lanka.

All'interno della capitale Ayutthaya, nessuno poteva affrontare questa sfida.

Il re fece un invito a cercare monaci o sacerdoti altamente istruiti che potessero organizzare il sutra entro un tempo limitato. La quarta notte, il re sognò un elefante bianco che fischiettava un suono acuto nella luce abbagliante. La mattina dopo il re consultò un indovino e gli fu detto che era un buon segno poiché era probabile che apparisse un saggio per risolvere il problema. Il re era incerto, ed il sesto giorno nessuno riuscì a comporre con successo l'alfabeto dei sutra. Questo fece preoccupare il re della Thailandia.

Quello stesso giorno, mentre "Lunag Pu Tuad" era fuori per ricevere l'elemosina in città, ha incontrato un gruppo di persone che parlavano di quell'argomento. È stato portato a conoscenza delle conseguenze del loro paese se non fosse risolto il problema della disposizione dei puzzle del sutra buddista. Sembrava che nessuno potesse risolvere il problema, per il bene del Paese. LP Tuad voleva provare a risolvere la disposizione dei sutra nel palazzo. Attraverso le sue virtù, aveva il potere di salvare la terra dall'essere una colonia. La mattina dopo, LP Tuad visitò il Palazzo ed iniziò a riorganizzare i semi d'oro nel Dhamma secondo i testi buddisti senza alcuna difficoltà. Le 84.000 unità dei semi d'oro erano tutte esaurite tranne sette semi mancanti. Erano Sam (Dhammasangani), Vi (Vibhanga), Dha (Dhatukatha), Pu (Puggalapannatti), Ka (Kathavatthu), Ya (Yamaka) e Pa (Patthana) che sono il cuore dei sette scrittori di Abhidamma Pitaka. Il giovane monaco si rivolse ai sette bramini e chiese se avevano conservato i semi d'oro mancanti. Quando furono dati, il completo riarrangiamento dei semi d'oro nelle scritture buddiste dell'Abhidhamma fu terminato, nel 7° giorno. I bramini come ambasciatori del re dello Sri Lanka avevano quindi dato tutti i tesori di 7 sampan al giovane monaco ma si voltò e li diede tutti al re. Dopo aver avuto successo, LP Tuad era ben noto in tutto il paese, ed era considerato un santo monaco buddista nella storia thailandese.

Essere il favorito del re Maha Dhammaraja con la sua conoscenza e saggezza, LP Tuad era stato insignito del titolo del Sangha di "Phra Rajamuni Samikhunuparamajam", il grado più alto mai conferito a qualsiasi altro monaco prima nel paese. Successivamente, a LP Tuad fu chiesto dal re di rimanere ad Ayutthaya per servire come suo consigliere. Dopo molti anni, LP Tuad chiese al re il permesso di tornare nella sua città natale. Il Re glielo permise, promettendo di dare a sua volta tutto il sostegno richiesto da LP Tuad per le sue azioni virtuose, se aveva le necessità.

Quando LP Tuad tornò a Wat Phra Kho, (Sathing Phra) scoprì che anche il tempio circostante alla pagoda chiamata Rattanamahat erano stati danneggiati. Da lì inviò un messaggio al re chiedendo il suo sostegno per ricostruire il monastero. Il re Maha Dhammaraja è stato lieto di rispondere alle esigenze di LP Tuad, ha sostenuto pienamente i suddetti monasteri e ha gentilmente rilasciato il Royal Degree on Dedication of Land and People di circa 250 famiglie vicino a Wat Phra Kho come generosità per ricostruire e restaurare i templi nell'area circostante.

Movie Review: Ron Howard's "Thirteen Lives" celebrates 5,000 heroes

Movie Review: Ron Howard’s “Thirteen Lives” celebrates 5,000 heroes

There’s a gloriously workmanlike quality to everything about Ron Howard’s fine film of the famous Tham Lunag cave rescue in Thailand, “Thirteen Lives.” It’s one of those real-life thrillers like Eastwood’s “Sully” or Howard’s own “Apollo 13,” a celebration of competence, courage and modest bravado as people rally around a crisis, do their jobs and see it through. Twelve tween soccer players and…

Ocho años habían pasado, y sus días eran siempre iguales; solo sentarse a esperar que las parejas viniesen a llevar uno de sus collares. Se quedaba a un lado del camino, tratando de sentir el viento tocar su piel, el césped bajo sus pies descalzos, escuchar el murmullo perpetúo de la gente pasando, los autos en la calle, los niños que jugaban en el parque mientras sus padres les advertían todo el tiempo que tuvieran cuidado. En la noche, el único sonido que podía oír eran los insectos zumbando, los árboles moviéndose con la brisa, la marea chocando con los altos muros sobres los que se alzaba el parque. Él se quedaba allí exhibiendo los collares que hacía con madera. Cuando recién empezó apenas tenía clientes, pero cuando colgó un cartel asegurando que los collares eran gratis, eso cambió. Él no tenía el menor interés en el dinero. Después de todo, no le servía para nada. Al principio solo tenía dos modelos de dijes para sus cadenillas, pero en la medida en que aprendía sobre diferentes tipos de relaciones, el número de diseños aumentó. Las parejas eran tan predecibles, tan fáciles de leer. ¿Cómo no notó todo eso durante su vida anterior? La manera en que se miraban o ignoraban, qué tan cercanos se paraban junto al otro, si se sujetaban las manos, se abrazaban, el brazo de quién estaba alrededor de cuál, si sonreían o no, el tono en sus voces y hasta las palabras que usaban. Todo era visible, claro. Las personas estaban expuestas frente a sus ojos sin saberlo. .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- Si quieres seguir leyendo este relato, visita mi Web: argriman.com ⠀ .⠀ A.R.
