Outside the Music Room Cafe, Lancaster, about 3:45 pm. Egor is reading Donna Tartt's The Secret History, in Russian translation (see the other photo). Like many people in this project, he found it hard to keep a straight face after I'd asked for permission. It was almost dark, so I have kept the rather blue tone instead of trying to correct it.
Thank you, Egor, for participating in my Readers project, and apologies for breaking your concentration. Other photos in my series of readers are here: www.flickr.com/photos/greg_myers/albums/72157652125931010.

We saw "The Reader".
The Reader (Der Vorleser) is an award-winning novel by German law professor and judge Bernhard Schlink. It was published in Germany in 1995 and in the United States (translated into English by Carol Brown Janeway) in 1997. It deals with the difficulties which subsequent generations have in comprehending the Holocaust; specifically, whether a sense of its origins and magnitude can be adequately conveyed solely through written and oral media. This question is increasingly at the center of Holocaust literature in the late 20th and early 21st century, as the victims and witnesses of the Holocaust die and its living memory begins to fade.
Schlink's book was well received in his native country, and also in the United States, winning several awards. The novel was a departure from Schlink's usual detective novels. It became the first German novel to top the New York Times bestseller list, and US television mogul Oprah Winfrey made it a selection of her book club in 1999. It has been translated into 37 languages and been included in the curricula of college-level courses in Holocaust literature and German language and German literature.
The film version, directed by Stephen Daldry, was released in December 2008. Kate Winslet played Hanna, with David Kross as the young Michael and Ralph Fiennes as the older man. Bruno Ganz and Lena Olin played supporting roles. It was nominated for 5 Academy Awards including Best Picture. Winslet won the Oscar for leading actress.

These sculptures are outside the Vancouver School Board. Although I like the fact that they represent the joy of learning, helping children learn, and all that jazz, they creep me out slightly.
Also, the little girl is on the B page of the alphabet and part of me wants to weep that she's stuck on B and will never, ever get the rest of the letters!

I went to the dentist and while I was waiting read this magazine. I haven't seen a copy in several years; once the Reader's Digest was the mainstay of dentist and doctors' waiting rooms.

About 3:30 pm, Church Street, below St. Mary Parade, Lancaster. I saw her sitting on the steps leading up to the Priory and Castle, and I was struck by the composition she made against the shadow on the wall. I explained my project and asked her permission. She said she takes photographs herself, so she was interested. I told her afterwards that most of the people in my photos said they were pretending to read as I took the picture, because I had interrupted them. She said she was actually reading; it took quite a while as I tried out various apertures to deal with the bright sunlight on her face.
Her name is Nicky, and she is reading a book of critical essays on 19th Century novels. She is studying for an exam in June (you can just see the coloured post-its she is using to mark up the book). She works full-time at a university while also studying at the Open University; this is the last module before she finishes her degree. So she has every minute of spare time planned out; that is why she is sitting outside studying on this sunny Saturday. We talked about studying literature. She is skeptical about some of the interpretations she hears, but she said the course had given her an appreciation for Shakespeare; I wished I had asked which 19th Century novels she liked best.
Thank you, Nicky, for allowing me to interrupt your studying, and best wishes on the exam. Other photos in my series of readers are here: www.flickr.com/photos/greg_myers/albums/72157652125931010.
