So recommending a book can seem, well, out-of-touch. Unless, that is, the recommendation is for a novel that's so absorbing, so fully realized that it draws you out of your own constricted situation and expands your sense of possibilities. For me, over the past 10 days or so, the novel that's performed that act of deliverance has been The Glass Hotel, by Emily St. John Mandel.
Intricate, interlocking narratives are Mandel's signature, but to keep plot summary to a minimum, I'll just acknowledge two main story strands here. The first concerns a woman named Vincent (named after the poet, Edna St. Vincent Millay), whose fall off a container ship into a storm-tossed nighttime ocean, opens and closes the novel.
Vincent is tough and beautiful and, in her youth, she worked as a bartender at a luxury hotel on a remote island in British Columbia. The hotel's general manager describes the allure of the place this way: "Our guests ... want to come to the wilderness, but they don't want to be in the wilderness. They just want to look at it, ideally through the window of a luxury hotel. ... There's an element of surrealism to it, frankly."
Late one night when Vincent is on duty behind the bar, a message etched in acid appears on the glass wall of the hotel lounge. The message reads: "Why don't you swallow broken glass." Vincent, for reasons we readers won't totally grasp 'till the end of the novel, is so deeply shaken by this message that she seizes her first opportunity, in the form of a wealthy man who walks into the bar, and escapes the hotel into what she will later call "the kingdom of money."
Indeed, most of the characters in this novel are visited by spirits and come to realize that the barrier between worlds seen and unseen is as transparent and vulnerable to breakage as that glass hotel wall. There's also a social dimension to Mandel's theme here about how things in life aren't as solid as we might assume.
Leon knew that he and [his wife] were luckier than most citizens of the shadow country, they had each other and the RV and enough money (just barely) to survive, but the essential marker of citizenship was the same for everyone: they'd all been cut loose, they'd slipped beneath the surface of the United States, they were adrift.
This all-encompassing awareness of the mutability of life grows more pronounced as The Glass Hotel reaches its eerie sea change of an ending. In dramatizing so ingeniously how precarious and changeable everything is, Mandel's novel is topical in a way she couldn't have foreseen when she was writing it.

The 2004 Sigma Pi Sigma National Congress began on Thursday, October 14th with a truly special event: a visit to the Trinity Site, where the first atomic bomb was detonated. The four buses which transported participants to the site began boarding at 6:30 am, with departure at 7:00am. In the predawn darkness, society members began to gather around a table in the lobby of the Hilton Hotel in Albuquerque, in order to pick up their nametags before finding the appropriate bus. The early morning air was chill as people began exiting the hotel and choosing seats on the busses. One of the first to board the bus I would be taking, I shivered slightly, and wondered with anticipation what the day would bring.
The skies began to lighten with the first hints of dawn, and as the orange-glowing disk of the sun slowly rose above the horizon, a white mist began gather. Soon the bus was engulfed and the surrounding landscape obscured. My mind was left to wander, and soon turned to what I knew of the atomic bomb.
Visiting the actual site was, in some ways, a slightly surreal experience. The flat expanse of land stretches out over vast distances, covered with small shrubs and bearing few features to serve as landmarks. A clear blue sky stretched from horizon to horizon, lending the day an almost peaceful atmosphere.
The first atomic bomb had left in its wake a large shallow crater no more than eight feet deep, and within this crater, the desert floor had been melted into green glass. This glass, called Trinitite, was initially highly radioactive, and as a result, much of it was removed. Some pieces were taken by scientists who had visited the sight shortly after the explosion, and are still occasionally turning up to this day. Small pebbles of Trinitite scattered sparsely in the ground are almost all that remain of the substance at the actual site. Today, this glass is no longer unusually radioactive, and the last remnant of the original sheet is buried under a protective layer of sand, housed under a long, low metal shed.
The stories of the Manhattan project provide a unique look into a group of scientists working towards a common goal: to help defend their country in the midst of war. Yet they were also driven by a desire to discover the possibilities of new technology and the solution to a pressing problem. The Sigma Pi Sigma and SPS members who attended this trip had the exiting experience of witnessing an important piece of scientific and American history first hand.
The Diverse Families bookshelf was created and funded through numerous grants. Due to lack of additional grants and the loss of key personnel, the project has come to an end. We have tremendously enjoyed creating this database and hope that it can help bring readers and books together.
