This was a very interesting story, even if the novel overall was a bit lack-luster. It provides precisely what I was hoping for in one sense, which was a good overall sense of London life in the Georgian era, and the dialogue is very clever and well-written, however the absence of character development makes the highly emotional climax and denouement seem too incredible.

Bill Bryson is a witty travel writer. I read this before I went to Australia in 2002 and several times since then.

This is the first book of hers that failed to interest me. Perhaps it was the unrelenting and one-sided focus on the horrors of sexism in Kazbekistan -- and it's rare for me to suggest that a book paints *too heavy* a picture of the horrors of sexism. I think what bothered me was that it almost implies an absolute lack of sexism in Western cultures. And the sexism depicted was extremely sadistic. Other of her books have impressed me with more nuanced portrayals of complex personal, social, cultural, and intercultural issues.

This was a dense book. It had many levels beside the obvious murder mystery. It explores the relationship between 3 childhood friends- one who choses one side of the law, one who chooses the other, and one who lives a double life. It also touches on the husband-wife relationship of the main characters, how they parent and their daily lives in Boston. The fear and secrets between them all. Some people in my book club found this hard to read because of the language. I did not even notice the language. It just felt very raw and honest with well developed characters and a plot that held my interest.

While the West's ubiquitous illumination--both in the literal and figurative sense--complements well the fresh and glossy aesthetic that stems from that part of the world, for centuries, Tanizaki points out, Japanese life has emerged amidst shadow where patina and evidence of well ordered use most suitably come to the fore. Under these circumstances the hinting of the thing is more savory than the thing itself, but with the growing Western influence, almost everything traditionally Japanese becomes garish under constant electrical inspection. "The cleanliness of what can be seen calls up the more clearly thoughts of what cannot be seen." Elaborating on the unsuitability of Western technology for Japanese music, Tanizaki wonders what might have been if the Japanese had had time to develop its own technologies geared towards Japanese music's specific character, music that depends very much on "reticence" and "pauses". "The phonograph and the radio render these moments of silence utterly lifeless. And so we distort the arts themselves to curry favor for them with the machines." In the final pages the focus shifts from the cultural to the biographical where, apparently finished praising shadow, Tanizaki moves to lament youth, changing times and the outcasting of the elderly. To be fair he realizes what he's becoming the grumbling codger. Still, the essay loses a bit of its charm at this point and certainly some of its cohesion. Only halfway through the essay I realized that every time it evoked shadow I inevitably returned to mental visions of sunbeams (as necessary constituents of shadow). I never really pictured shadow itself. There seemed also a case for cultural relativism here and the rest of the essay I tried to mold my mental imagery to experience this foreign aesthetic. Does anyone know what the Japanese reading of this essay has been, either on publication or in more contemporarily? That'd be interesting to hear.

More love and adventure in the Sherwood family.
Dapet buku ini acara salenya Gramedia Sudirman, Yogyakarta. Lumayan cuma ceban.... Satu pelajaran yang didapat, bahwa jadi orang janganlah berlebihan. Karena manusia tidak pernah merasa puas akan apa yang dia miliki.
