Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Continuing the personal saga begun in the National Book Award-winning Waiting for Snow in Havana, the inspiring, sad, funny, bafflingly beautiful story of a boy uprooted by the Cuban Revolution and transplanted to Miami during the years of the Kennedy administration. In his 2003 National Book Award-winning memoir Waiting for Snow in Havana, Carlos Eire narrated his coming of age in Cuba just before and during the Castro revolution. That book literally ends in midair as eleven-year-old Carlos and his older brother leave Havana on an airplane--along with thousands of other children--to begin their new life in Miami in 1962. It would be years before he would see his mother again. He would never again see his beloved father. Learning to Die in Miami opens as the plane lands and Carlos faces, with trepidation and excitement, his new life. He quickly realizes that in order for his new American self to emerge, his Cuban self must "die." And so, with great enterprise and purpose, he begins his journey. We follow Carlos as he adjusts to life in his new home. Faced with learning English, attending American schools, and an uncertain future, young Carlos confronts the age-old immigrant's plight: being surrounded by American bounty, but not able to partake right away. The abundance America has to offer excites him and, regardless of how grim his living situation becomes, he eagerly forges ahead with his own personal assimilation program, shedding the vestiges of his old life almost immediately, even changing his name to Charles. Cuba becomes a remote and vague idea in the back of his mind, something he used to know well, but now it "had ceased to be part of the world." But as Carlos comes to grips with his strange surroundings, he must also struggle with everyday issues of growing up. His constant movement between foster homes and the eventual realization that his parents are far away in Cuba bring on an acute awareness that his life has irrevocably changed. Flashing back and forth between past and future, we watch as Carlos balances the divide between his past and present homes and finds his way in this strange new world, one that seems to hold the exhilarating promise of infinite possibilities and one that he will eventually claim as his own. An exorcism and an ode, Learning to Die in Miami is a celebration of renewal--of those times when we're certain we have died and then are somehow, miraculously, reborn. …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Gone are the flat-earth days of scientific rationalism. Humans, it turns out, are naturally hungry for mystery, magic, faith. There have been laments about disenchantment and calls for re-enchantment. Many who forsake traditional religion are drawn to spiritualism and pagan beliefs and practices. Christians, meanwhile, have always affirmed that there is more than meets our eyes, that our world is teeming with angels and demons, powers and principalities, signs and wonders. The "supernatural" is real; in fact, it's entirely natural. Whether you believe it or not, there are powers you should rightly fear, and one you should serve. On this theme:  Joy Marie Clarkson debunks the idea that our world needs re-enchantment. Andrew Davison surveys the unseen world's place in our cosmology. Alison Milbank considers the matter of angels as creatures like and unlike us. Carlos Eire talks about what drew him to accounts of flying saints. Fleming Rutledge says true preaching is letting the Holy Spirit speak through you. Rachel Pieh Jones recounts dreams of Jesus that changed two lives continents apart. Charles E. Moore tells a story of demon possession, revival, and miraculous healings that weren't coincidental. Benjamin Crosby asks what "gifts of the spirit" should mark the follower of Jesus. Also in this issue: André Trocmé tells how his town offered sanctuary to thousands of Jews facing deportation. Anti-Nazi theologian Henri de Lubac has a message for today's Christian nationalists. Mary Townsend gives up her smartphone and starts noticing things. Hannah Rose Thomas paints portraits of mothers who survived the Srebrenica massacre. The winning poems in Plough's fifth annual Rhina Espaillat Poetry Award. Plough Quarterly features stories, ideas, and culture for people eager to apply their faith to the challenges we face. Each issue includes in-depth articles, interviews, poetry, book reviews, and art.…
