Charles BlowIn Fire Shut Up in My Bones, New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow mines the rich poetry of the out-of-time Louisiana town where he grew up — a place where slavery’s legacy felt close, reverberating in the elders’ stories and in the near-constant wash of violence.An isolated boy, Blow is fiercely attached to his mother, a woman with five sons, brass knuckles in her glove box, a job plucking poultry, a soon-to-be ex-husband, and a love of newspapers and learning. But the closeness doesn’t protect him from secret abuse at the hands of an older cousin. It’s damage that triggers years of searing self-questioning.Drawing on nothing but fleeting images from the outside world — MLK, Prince Charles — and on Blow’s own uncanny inner life, he remakes himself into someone who looks like a “popular boy.”Finally, he escapes to a nearby state university, joining a black fraternity after a passage of brutal hazing. Here Blow enters a world of racial and sexual privilege that feels — at first — like everything he’s ever needed and wanted.From one of our most acclaimed public voices, a bravely personal, one-of-a-kind story of self-invention — an instant classic of African-American storytelling from the South.

Review from Yesterday• Group  of  Catholic  Parents  were  alarmed  at  the  atheis-c  tendencies  of  the  teachers  in  

state  schools  and  asked  the  Irish  Province  of  Chris-an  Brothers  to  open  a  school  –  A  group  of  5  brothers  came  from  Ireland  to  found  the  Stella  Maris  College

• A  school  for  boys  ages  9-­‐16  started  in  May  of  1955

• Carrasco  –  one  of  most  desirable  suburbs  of  Montevideo  –  Students  came  from  Catholic  families  with  tradi-onal  values  –  like  not  leaving  home  un-l  geRng  married.    

• There  were  strong  bonds  between  parents  and  children  and  persisted  through  adolescence  into  maturity.  The  affec-on  and  respect  the  boys  felt  for  their  parents  carried  over  to  their  teachers  –  very  few  discipline  problems.  

• The  Chris-an  brothers  believed  in  discipline  with  the  cane  but  gave  it  up  at  parent’s  request  –  Building  character  through  Rugby  instead  of  the  cane
