Memoirs of a Polar BearThe Memoirs of a Polar Bear has in spades what Rivka Galchen hailed in the New Yorker as "Yoko Tawada's magnificent strangeness" Tawada is an author like no other. Three generations (grandmother, mother, son) of polar bears are famous as both circus performers and writers in East Germany: they are polar bears who move in human society, stars of the ring and of the literary world. In chapter one, the grandmother matriarch in the Soviet Union

The Memoirs of a Polar Bear has in spades what Rivka Galchen hailed in the New Yorker as "Yoko Tawada's magnificent strangeness"--Tawada is an author like no other. Three generations (grandmother, mother, son) of polar bears are famous as both circus performers and writers in East Germany: they are polar bears who move in human society, stars of the ring and of the literary world. In chapter one, the grandmother matriarch in the Soviet Union accidentally writes a bestselling autobiography. In chapter two, Tosca, her daughter (born in Canada, where her mother had emigrated) moves to the DDR and takes a job in the circus. Her son--the last of their line--is Knut, born in chapter three in a Leipzig zoo but raised by a human keeper in relatively happy circumstances in the Berlin zoo, until his keeper, Matthias, is taken away...

Happy or sad, each bear writes a story, enjoying both celebrity and "the intimacy of being alone with my pen."

we'll see how well it works, but the filter is the right size, seems made fine, and went in with no trouble.

Great Quality Filter and Perfect Fit for My 2022 CR-V
I bought this EPAuto air filter for my 2022 Honda CR-V 1.5L, and it couldn’t have been easier to install. It fits exactly like the original — snug and secure — and the whole process took under five minutes without any tools. Just open the air box, pull out the old filter, and drop this one in. The quality feels solid with a sturdy frame and well-made filter material. It’s not flimsy at all, and you can tell it’s built to last. After swapping it in, I noticed the engine felt a bit smoother, and there was a slight improvement in responsiveness, especially during acceleration. I’m also hoping it helps with fuel efficiency over time. Honestly, for the price and convenience, this is a no-brainer. It’s a simple upgrade you can do yourself that helps protect your engine and saves you money on dealership replacements. Highly recommended if you drive a newer CR-V like mine!
