"Adagio in Blues" is a beautifully written essay that responds to and re-creates a musical performance the subtext of which is a long history of Christianity, and a misunderstanding of the history of Goans before Portuguese colonialism, all of which have created deep wounds among Goans as the overlooked people of India, wounds which are exposed and the healing process begun by the performance and the writing about the performance.

Catherine Quayle's "Excuse me, I'm having a Macbeth moment" is an excellent reflective piece on our personal sense of destiny and our frenzied desires to fulfill it and then maintain it. It makes you think deeply about what drives you and what the cost of success really is.

"Our failure is a function of our excessive success, as Macbeth also comes to learn. The more he acts to fulfill the prophecy, the more he both succeeds and brings about his own defeat — the maddening paradox in which free will can only be asserted in the service of fate."

This work gets my vote wholeheartedly.
