Fresh daily! we repeatedly imagine how to survive a world brought to a sudden halt by aliens or ecological disaster Such events are useful because they are revelatory: they break open the order of things and show us what’s inside It is not a post-apocalyptic novel but an undramatically mid-apocalyptic one Sil and her mother come from an unnamed Balkan country that has suffered a climate catastrophe and its attendant humanitarian crises Island City is not much better off: tide-swamped and largely abandoned its few inhabitants are largely “refuge seekers,” like Sil and her mom who have been “recruited from abroad by the federal Repopulation Program.” Living alongside them are “the stalwart handful of locals hanging on in their shrinking neighborhoods convinced that once the right person was voted into the mayor’s office and the tide pumps got working again things would at least go back to the way they had always been.” The city Sil finds herself in is a waterlogged husk of its former self with whole neighborhoods rendered unlivable by rising sea levels though some are traversable when the tide is low enough revived by the fire it kept managing to stoke in its most recent newcomers.” Some of that fire still glows in the Morningside historic luxury apartment building where Sil and her mother join her great-aunt Other tenants include a teen-age ghost (according to Ena) and a relentlessly difficult Board of Occupants from a fatal combination of wealth and age They weren’t about to let a few hurricanes and a submerged industrial district stand between them and the prosperity their grandparents had so doggedly eked out.” who occupies the building’s opulent penthouse with her three enormous dogs and keeps surreptitious tabs on the artist and her hounds as they depart every evening for mysterious walks These walks become an obsession—an obsession fostered by Ena who introduces Sil to a realm she had previously never known a realm of family history and folk tale that her mother refuses to engage with Sil begins to believe in “a world underneath the world,” where Slavic creatures of myth Sil’s fixation on Bezi is further egged on by Mila who dares Sil to follow Bezi into the abandoned city There they stumble into an eerie scene that could be equally at home in a novel about urban decay or a book of haunting folk tales where crones offer darkly enchanted gifts and feral children turn into sad-eyed dogs For a lost sense of security; for a time where there could be “a year that was safer or calmer than the one before it.” The world of “The Morningside” is winding down its hopeless efforts at renewal meant “not to build the city back up—but to hold the edges while it finishes falling.” Eventually telling her daughter what it was like Back Home before everything started to fall apart: “I wanted that for you—that life I had I realized that I’d brought you into life at a time when everyone else’s debts had come due the debtors weren’t around anymore to pay up So it’d be you doing the paying.” Obreht doesn’t say exactly what those debts are—instead she lets the diminished world of the novel like the future our younger generations will face It seems darkly appropriate that she wrote this novel while pregnant during the pandemic This vagueness perhaps suits the future better than the past. Obreht’s début novel, “The Tiger’s Wife,” wove together tales of mourning and enchantment in a fictionalized version of the Balkans in the mid-twentieth century. Her enthralling second novel, “Inland,” played with the figures and tropes of the outlaw American West the exuberant myth-making of her plots took precedence over the specifics of history threatening to make the actual past feel abstract “The Morningside” seems to take place in the same semi-fictional universe as “The Tiger’s Wife”; Sil and her mother come from the city of Sarobor in “The Tiger’s Wife,” on the eve of a siege during the Bosnian War But where flights of invention made “The Tiger’s Wife” tilt toward allegory the textures of “The Morningside”—a familiar city a familiar complacency—make this future feel closer shot through with an almost excruciating intimacy storytelling is not a way of relating to a mythical past but of growing up in the long middest when the idea of home and the promise of safety are harder and harder to hold on to every day A long-ago crime, suddenly remembered A limousine driver watches her passengers transform The day Muhammad Ali punched me What is it like to be keenly intelligent but deeply alienated from simple emotions?

he was in New York … and we’ve just had a bond ever since then,” he says So when Dias called up Dobson six years ago with an idea for a feature film set in Scarborough which looks at the intersecting lives of seven characters who connect through a fictional community centre in Morningside Heights Prior to her fame as a pop/rock artist in the 2000s Dobson attended Wexford Collegiate Schools for the Arts She was one of four children growing up with their single mother It was a way for me to disappear and make my own world.” It took her an hour on transit to get to school a trip she’d endure by putting on her headphones After her success in Canada as a multiplatinum recording artist appearing in Sudz Sutherland’s Home Again (2012) Dobson eventually moved to Nashville in 2014 and took a hiatus from her own music career to focus on writing for other artists such as Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez Dobson and Dias had worked together on a few YouTube videos and captured personal moments on film at who started out in his career as an intern at FLOW 93.5 a radio station that mainly played hip hop and R&B in the 2000s had always wanted to tell a Scarborough story While he fine-tuned his idea to represent Scarborough on the big screen with co-writer Joanne Jansen a smaller-scale project about four friends trying to navigate life through a lockdown and the Black Lives Matter movement When Bite of a Mango successfully sold to a streamer he was able to secure some funding to realize his vision “It really came from watching movies when I was a kid like Boyz n the Hood and Do the Right Thing “They were so central to Compton … but they had these universal themes that everybody could relate to.” Dias thought the suburb could similarly be a character in a movie Multiple experiences with gun violence was another important throughline to show how innocent lives have been taken away because of pointless violence But there was also the beauty of many different cultures abutting each other in the sprawling suburb He would hang out with his friends from West Indian and Tamil cultures at their homes learning the particulars of each tradition their parents goin’ to sit you down and tell you what’s what So that really is my upbringing in Scarborough Morningside was a chance to return to a place that was formative to her experiences as an artist The shooting for a pivotal scene for the movie took place right down the street from her former home at Wilcox Creek “I hadn’t seen that area since I moved out She doesn’t get to hang out in Scarborough as much since most of her family has moved farther east to Oshawa But she’s looking forward to attending the premiere of Morningside at an old childhood hangout “I used to go shopping at Scarborough Town Centre all the time There’s a lot of emotions that come with seeing your childhood environment Report an editorial error Report a technical issue Editorial code of conduct Authors and topics you follow will be added to your personal news feed in Following Welcome to The Globe and Mail’s comment community.

Lawrence throws a pitch against Mount Marty at Riverside Field in Yankton — After proposing another comeback in the Great Plains Athletic Conference tournament the Morningside University baseball team's offensive sparked proved to come too late Despite tying the game with a solo homer from Sam Wilt in the top of the eighth Mount Marty had an answer in the bottom frame that the Mustangs failed to counteract With a two-run jack from Aidan Chang over the left field fence at Riverside Field the Lancers put an end to the Mustangs chances of a conference title game appearance with an 8-6 victory And possibly its NAIA national tournament hopes “It is nerve wracking to not win your auto bid,” Morningside head coach Adam Boeve said “The type of season these have had is worthy of a bid there is not a doubt in my mind we played every single road game this year.” Morningside (35-13-1) dug itself out of its three-run deficit with a rally between the seventh and eighth innings which they found itself in after a five-run third inning from the Lancers (28-21) After pulling ahead 3-1 in the top of the third Morningside gave up a pair of RBI singles and a sac fly before reliving Tyler Lawrence of his duties on the hill “To put up that size of a number in one was certainly not an inning we wanted But I never had a doubt that we were going to stay the course and find our way to bring pressure to them." “We have had that many times this season,” Morningside junior Michael Snyder said Lawrence was replaced by senior Josh Pratt who proved to give the Mustangs their best shot at keeping their season alive Pratt posted scoreless frames in the following four innings where he gave up just one hit to keep the bases clean His best role for us has been long relief where he can come into a game and give a lot of quality innings.” But between Pratt's scoreless stretch from the fourth and sixth inning Morningside's offense failed to back its star reliver the Mustangs tallied just three hits and left all their runners stranded along the base paths Morningside senior Josh Pratt sets up for a pitch against Mount Marty at Riverside Field in Yankton Even when Morningside began its late push in the seventh with a pair of runners scored on an error and Wilt's game tying homer the team left three men stranded and were never able to retake the lead “It looked like we were on time and on rhythm our pitch selection offensively wasn’t probably where it needed to be,” Boeve said “There was too many early at bats where we put the ball in play weekly with zero strike or we were winning the count.” Morningside gave itself a chance to take the lead in the ninth with base runners on its first two at bats of the inning but shrunk again Mount Marty picked up three straight outs to shut the door on a possible continuation of the Mustangs late rally and secured its spot in the GPAC tournament title game Morningside senior Ryan Kiolbassa swings his bat against Mount Marty at Riverside Field in Yankton Ater picking up a pair of wins in Thursday's elimination games the Mustangs heroics ran out and will now wait to see if they are awarded a bid to the NAIA national tournament which will be announced Wednesday “I am just very thankful that everyone on this field and everybody in this dugout gave 100% and was able to cheer on the rest of the team,” Snyder said “There is still definitely a chance for us to get a bid and play a little bit more this season.” — After heading into the bottom of the ninth trailing 4-1 the Chargers proved they weren't done fighting To the tune of
