Dunn has returned to Ulster as a prison officer in the Maze, drawn by good money and hopes of finally settling down with his Protestant girlfriend. The two characters never meet, but their parallel lives converge when the antagonism within the Maze, and the political stakes outside, start to rise. The political and religious jangle of Belfast in 1979 is the backdrop for a vivid tale of lives filled with booze, cigarettes, bad food and murderous gossip. But the real meat of This Human...
...Avoid the sections of the river that run parallel to the noisy, traffic-clogged autobahn, and stick instead with havens like the flat, unpaved trail that skirts the northern edge of Dillingen, a factory town of roughly 18,000 in Germany's southwest.

...Israel and the Occupied Territories and thus work against establishing eventual peace in the region—a prospect that has rarely looked more promising than right now. As we have stressed before, touting Harvard’s divestment from South African firms in the 1980s is a misguided parallel. The situations are entirely different, and thus while divestment was the appropriate decision two decades ago—and one which certainly contributed to ending the Apartheid system—it is an inappropriate comparison today...
