Rafael Boca rafaelcort67bb — Amanda Dexter and her story occupy a funny little place in historical fiction: most stories cover Edwardian England, WWI, or WWII, but this book covers all of those periods. However, its main focus seems to be on "The Long Weekend"--the interwar years in British India and England. Amanda is the daughter of a British lieutenant stationed in India, and when she is very young, she is sent to live with her relatives in England--proud, wealthy people who are not always welcoming to her. She faces the problem of many Empire children--she is never at home, no matter where she lives. Years pass, and she eventually rejoins her parents in India, where she matures into a woman, and then a widow. She travels the world, witnesses a few scandals, and eventually returns to England, where she causes a few scandals of her own. This was an entertaining historical novel to read, even though it had its flaws: it was rushed and disjointed at times (probably because it covered so many years), and some of the scandal and life decisions did not feel believable for the time period.

Michael Dudley _udley — i've always hated this book. i don't understand why its considered a classic.

I also love the way she slowly changes Mr. Darcy's character. I had a crush on him for the longest time after this book (maybe still a little) :)

Lionel Essrog, the narrator, tells the story of the Minna Men through his Tourrette's suppressions and compulsions. The famous toothbrush paragraph is excellent, of course, and the overall narrative voice is great. The main strength of the book is the narrative voice and it's worth reading just to explore that. It's a good read, and was a surprisingly quick one for me. Saved my opinion of Lethem after You Don't Love Me Yet, (stay away from LA, Lethem, stick to BK) and I think I'll tackle Fortress of Solitude next. Anyone want to loan it? Ironically this has been waiting on the shelf for a long time because I was intent on reading it while actually in Brooklyn. I ended up reading it in Beijing, China. Which was in a way sort of better, for me, since I got to indulge any homesickness.

Henry Tisalema _unky_adio — What a pleasant surprise this was. First off, Benderson's eviscerations of the Northwest's dull middle-class culture are vicious and spot-on. Right on! And yet, he doesn't come off as just some terrible New York snob. Rather, he just reveals that maybe, today, the emperor might not be wearing any clothes. And-- and I say this as a Northwesterner-- his enumerations of what is actually interesting about the region are just as accurate. I'm so glad this was written by an actual outsider-- a pleasant contrast to the obnoxious, self-fellating local writers. What I liked so much about it was also that it was very much a narrative with a narrator who had a personality-- in an age of impersonal, realist American fiction, this was a blast of fresh air.
