♦Swing Time

—By Zadie Smith

The author of countless essays has a new work office on the way，and，once again，she’s

looking at young women of color finding their lives as they grow into adulthood. In Swing Time，it’s two friends who share a passion for dancing. As the women reach their 20s，they part

ways—but their friendship continues throughout their lives.

♦Another Place You’ve Never Been

—By Rebecca Kauffman

Her collection is a set of connected stories，each about a young woman named Tracy who lives

and works as a waitress. The stories follow Tracy from childhood to present day，through parties

into the working world. Some are showed by Tracy herself，but we’re given a fuller view of her

character from stories told from eyes of others.

♦Moonglow

—By Michael Chabon

Michael Chabon drew inspiration for his new novel from stories his grandfather told in

1989—stories of a colorful life that touched on unexpected bits of history. It promises to bear all of

Chabon’s best qualities：amazing accounts，real and knowable characters，and a taste of top

humor.

♦Whatever Happened to Interracial Love?

—By Kathleen Collins

Kathleen Collins died in 1988 at just 46. Written several decades ago，the stories offer an

honest，artful peephole into the thoughts and experiences of the black people and women about

whom Collins writes.

(2019·山东郯城二中教学质量监测)

Lying alongside mountains of smelly garbage under the South American sun，Cateura is al ong

way from the conservatories of Pragueor Vienna. Yet the township，which grew out of Paraguay’s

largest dump(垃圾场)，is gaining a reputation as a hot house for musical talent and for its youth

orchestra(管弦乐队) that plays instruments made from garbage. “The world sends us garbage. We

send back music，”says Favio Chavez，leader of the “Recycled Orchestra”，during a recent visit

by the group to Los Angeles. Orchestra members，poor children from Cateura，play violins

fashioned from oven trays and guitars made from dessert dishes. The orchestra provides the

youngsters an outlet and an escape，a chance to go beyond the mess of their slum(贫民窟) through

the music of Mozart，and even Sinatra.“In the beginning，it was difficult to play，”says the

10-year-old violinist Celeste Fleitas.“But Favio helped me learn overtime. From Favio，I have 第 3 页 learned to be more responsible and value the things I have.”

The destination for more than 1,500 tons of waste each day，the community has no safe

drinking water and little access to electricity or sanitation(卫生设施)．Illiteracy is severe，and the

children of the township often fall into drugs，violence and crimes.

Favio Chavez，a musical talent，came to Cateura as an environmental technician in 2019 and

started a youth music school. He knew shop-bought instruments were beyond the means of

villagers whose sheds are worthless than a violin，so he approached a carpenter to make some out

of waste from the dump.

The orchestra caught the eye of Paraguay a filmmaker Alejandra Amarilla. She uploaded a

short piece of the orchestra to YouTube in 2019，hoping to secure crowd funding for what would

become Landfil lHarmonic，a documentary released across the United States this month and

promoting the youngsters on a tour of the world’s music halls later on.
