MELANCHOLY BUT ENGAGING. “When she was younger, Mom was a presence that got him to continue building his resolve as a man, as a human being.”—page 59 Kyung Sook Shin’s melancholy novel, ‘Please Look After Mom,’ is an engaging read, told in a very gentle and subtle narrative. Recommendation: For stories about Korea I recommend the non-fiction family memoirs of Helie Lee. “Nobody likes a smelly, silent old man taking up space.”—page 86 ePub, from LACPL, 154 pages

Virtual Reality with a Philosophical Bent This is a re-read of one of my favourite novels. I’ve rated it five stars both times, but the rating assumes that you have a philosophical bent. If you don’t, it might come across as hopelessly abstract and removed from any reality that you know. If you do have, it might strike you as a stimulating and amusing work of post-modern fiction. It’s an homage to and pastiche of novels by Lethem’s immediate predecessors such as John Barth’s "The End of the Road" and Don DeLillo’s "White Noise" that deserves to stand proud in their company. A Universe in a University Lab Superficially, the novel is a fiction about academia. The narrator, Philip Engstrand, is a Professor of Anthropology at the fictitious University of North California. His partner is Alice Coombs, a particle physicist who is working with Professor Soft, a Nobel Prize-winner, to create a "baby universe" or a "universe in your backyard" a la the real life theories of Edward Farhi and Alan Guth. Within this relationship, we also have two distinct cultures: the humanities and science, although perhaps there is a point where cosmology can be seen to cross the boundary between the two, to climb across the table. Despite the academic and scientific context, the novel is at heart a romantic comedy. Lethem’s prose is dry, but heavily ironic and humorous. Early on, Philip says to Alice: "I feel an initial singularity…pressed against your spherical symmetry." Scientific Detachment Alice ignores his flippancy, preoccupied with the "false vacuum bubble" that Soft has managed to create. For Soft has ignited a new inflationary universe in the lab, only it has stalled and failed to "detach" from this universe. Instead, it has developed a breach or a wound akin to a wormhole that allows communication between the two worlds. Alice refers to the breach as a portal. It’s a rabbit hole that might lead to a wonderland of her own. Despite the objectivity of her background as a scientist, she can’t help but think of it subjectively. She’s lost the ability to "observe without consciousness", to "observe without subjective judgement". She falls in love with this thing and becomes "estranged from humanness". Where and to what the portal leads informs the rest of the novel. An Explosion of Metaphor Despite the fact that they have created a baby universe, it has ceased to inflate: "It has stopped being an ‘event’...Now it’s defined by its failure to ‘happen’. An absence. A lack." Henceforth, this baby universe is known as "the Lack". It’s a breach, a gap, a gulf, a hub, a void. Increasingly estranged from Alice, Philip contemplates: "The lack was obviously an explosion of metaphor into a literal world. I felt a secret kinship with it." How We Avoid Each Other Both Philip and Alice have their own relationship with the Lack. It's not just a cosmic void. In a way, it comes to represent the distance, the void between two humans. If we are intimidated by the void, we will never form a relationship with whatever lies on the other side. In order to form a relationship, we must communicate across the table, into and through the void. We must explore. We must step into the unknown. We must reach out blindly. We must take risks. We must intimate. We must offer soft intimacies. We must reveal vulnerabilities. We must risk harsh judgments and rejection. We must turn our backs on pride to win love’s rich rewards. We must overcome and defeat the suspicion and jealousy that can undermine love: "I pictured Alice guiding blind hands to her breasts. Nipples hard like Braille." Bizarre Love Triangle Even once we’re "in" a relationship, it can have its own vulnerabilities. As Philip reveals: "...when I feel distance between us, it’s like there’s something wrong between me and myself. I feel a gulf in myself." Hence the kinship with the Lack, even though it is the cause of the distance, the gulf between Philip and Alice (unless in reality we can infer that Alice herself, her "Lack-love" is the subjective cause). Love as a System, a Universe Determined not to lose Alice, Philip resolves to "teach her human love again", if and whatever way he can. And so we have the set-up of the novel. An early attempt proves to be fleeting. I want to mention it, not from a plot point of view, but so as to highlight the tongue-in-cheek earnestness with which Lethem describes the attempt: "I crawled across the margin of floor and held her. I put my arms around her shoulders, my face in her hair. We cried together. Our bodies made one perfect thing, a topological whole, immutable, complete, hollows turned to each other, hollows in alliance. We made a system, a universe. For a moment." Ironic as the language is, you can see a mock attempt to bridge the gap between the two cultures of science and the humanities. The Metaphysical Lack Soft and Alice discover that they can communicate with the Lack. They position a table adjacent the wormhole and slide objects and messages across it. The Lack accepts some things (which disappear) and rejects others (which remain on the table). In a way, it communicates by a binary yes/no system. Eventually, the physicists believe they’re able to infer the interests and taste of the Lack. Philip adopts an almost Kantian approach to the Lack: "You seem to be saying that Lack is a metaphysical phenomenon. So I should be just as qualified as you to uncover his meaning. If he is, as you say, interested in the idea of things in themselves. Meanings. Texts." The novel shifts from physics to metaphysics. One of the physicists proves to be a subjectivist: "Consciousness creates reality. Only when there is a mind to consider the world is there a world. Nothing before, except potential. Potential this, potential that. The creation event, the big bang – it was the creation of enormous potential, nothing more...[There’s no world where there isn’t a mentality to consider a world…There’s just a gap…a lack.] Consciousness writes reality…wherever we look we find reality forming in response...I think there is a principle of conservation of reality. Reality is unwilling to fully exist without an observer. It can’t be bothered. Why should it?" You have to ask whether the baby universe stalled so that somebody could look at it. It was waiting for us to catch up and observe it. Alternatively, to the extent that it might be sentient, the Lack might have stopped to observe us and develop its own meaning. And it achieved this through the portal that Alice became. Sorry, I have to stop now, before my brain explodes. Goo goo ga joob. Do You Love Me? Do We Love One Another? From Alice’s point of view, perhaps then the Lack simply represented an Other with which she fell in love, and thus might have caused her to fall out of love with Philip. However, in a way, she was also what the Lack loved. She was the Lack’s Other. She was the source of its meaning. She was the Other’s Other. She loved what the Other loved, and the Other loved her. So ultimately, love brings us back to a love of ourselves, an affirmation or validation of self. We are each our Other’s Other. When we love one another, we love ourselves. Conversely, if we don’t love ourselves, it’s difficult to love one another. Only when we feel affirmed or validated, can we feel love. Only then can we escape metaphysical fantasy and return to the reality of love. I Touched Your Hand Across the Table This is the sort of physical and metaphysical journey that Lethem takes a reader on. I have to commend both the imaginative scope of the novel and its execution. In it, Lethem writes with total command of subject matter, language and tone. This novel is worth climbing across the table for.

Very lite. The author ended up focusing on so few women, and those who made it OUT of the factory very quickly. And then wedded it with a tale of her own family's story in China, which had nothing to do with factories. Bit of a disappointment.

Quede encantada con el personaje del libro, me recuerda mucho a cuando era chica, experimentando el mundo y cazando bichos, y me recuerda otro tanto a como soy ahora con su forma de pensar sobre las labores de la casa, es un buen regalo tanto como para niños y adultos, se me asemeja un poco al libro de el mundo de Sofía solo que esta vez tratando el tema de las ciencias y el naturalismo y en una versión más corta, me quede con ganas de que fuese mas extendido. Te sumerge a principios del 1900 y todas las costumbres, como empieza a llegar la tecnología a pasos lentos pero seguros, la forma de pensar, la forma de ver a la mujer y como todo era lo normal, y el pensar de forma distinta hacia que te vieran como bicho raro, claro que sin llegar a ser demasiado fatalistas puesto que es un libro para los más chicos, sin llegar a ser tampoco demasiado infantil.

I can't even think of a comment to make other than "blah" and I didn't like this book at all. From back cover: "From the acclaimed author of Leaving Brooklyn and Disturbances in the Field comes a witty, sophisticated novel that confirms Lynne Sharon Schwartz as a major voice in American fiction. At age forty, Laura is struggling with the violent death of her reporter husband as well as an obsessive on-again-off-again love affair with an elusive actor. Suddenly, she find herself incapacitated by a mysterious lethargy - a love affair with her bed, as she puts it. Though Western medicine can name her disease, and its cause, it can do nothing to cure her. As time and alternative methods gradually bring Laura back to health, she finds solace and meaning in writing about her encounters with often wrongheaded but well-meaning stangers, friends, lovers, and family. Lynne Sharon Schwartz has created a haunting mosiac of a woman adrift in society: Laura's illness and recovery are a metaphor for the modern urban malaise, and for the spirit that can defeat it."

There is so much in this book to make you say “Wow”. Sure, there’s a lot here that’s been done before… a post-apocalyptic world where the people are oppressed and forced to take part in some winner-takes-all contest to the death is nothing new, but here it is done so well. Katniss is everything you would expect from a girl that’s had to take care of herself and her family most of her life. She’s simple, straight to the point, does what needs to be done however she has to, and yes, a little cold. But she’s also stunted. She’s so busy being a grown-up that she’s never had time to be a teenage girl, and her people skills are certainly lacking. When she throws herself into the Games in order to save her much younger sister, she’s forced to come to terms with her weaknesses. The Games themselves are a horrifying construction. 24 children (yes, children — they’re all 18 or younger) are forced into an arena of unknown makeup (will it be a forest? a desert? a frozen wasteland? will there be water? wildlife? edible plants?) and are left there to kill or be killed until there is one victor. As if that alone isn’t enough, the games makers are there to shake things up and encourage battle, and the entire thing is televised, 24 hours a day. Katniss’s fight for survival is not only a physical one, but an emotional one, as she struggles with her feelings for fellow tribute, Peeta. Since there is a second book (and supposedly a third), I’m going to assume that you realize that Katniss makes it through this alive. However, all is not necessarily well, and the way the book ends makes you wish there was just one more chapter. The abruptness of the ending has upset some people, but I think it’s appropriate. It leaves you wondering and a little bit confused, much like Katniss is herself. Because remember, despite what she’s done and what she’s been through, she’s still just a 16 year old girl. As a side note, if you’re considering this for your young adult reader, there’s no sex or bad language here, but there is a *lot* of violence, some of it quite gruesome. Can’t wait for book 2.
