I enjoyed this book very much. This is "science fiction" with really just a small bit of speculative material. It is really historical fiction about World War II, and presents a very different view of the war, looking more at the lives of the ordinary citizens in England during the blitz. And though fiction, it was historically accurate to a great degree. A great depiction of what it must have been like for the British citizens under nightly attack from the Germans.

Probably the best book written by any filmmaker. Tarkovsky reflects very carefully on his craft, his reasons for making art, and human life in the modern age. He worked on this book for decades, and it bears the fruit of a lifetime of serious work and thought.

Twisted detective noir set in a dark version of Aberystwuth, still dealing with the ramifications of Meals on Whales taking over the underworld from the druids. Cannibalism, murder and revenge are only the start. Definitely a good book, if not one I've felt a particular desire to reread. For me, the style was spot on, the twisted nature was good, but all that was so strong the characters, even the narrator, felt secondary to it.

I've seen scads of people reading this book on the subway, and I liked the cover (I'll admit I'm a little bit of a cover whore), but the story was like an embryo that never implanted. I couldn't connect with the characters enough to care about what they were doing. I found it a waste of my time. Which was too bad, because I liked the cover...

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: John Gray

I think this is my favorite Auster book. it's smart, it's new york, it's somewhat inaccessible, without being too weird. it's also broken into three short stories, so if you don't like the first one, you can quit, without feeling like you're giving up.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

"Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" is ostensibly about the macabre truths that lie behind Savannah's gentile facade. As you might expect, these are of a distinctly Gothic nature. Imagine a travel guide written by Tennessee Williams. We are invited to marvel at some familiar grotesques: the homosexual in a smoking jacket, the socialite drunk at noon, the young hustler with a Red Camaro, the outrageous trannie, the witch doctor. All of this is presented with a light touch, even as the parade of anecdotes transitions to an expose of a celebrated murder case. It makes for a fun read, and it's easy to see why this book reinvented the Savannah tourist scene and stayed on the best seller list for five straight years. But as with Capote's "In Cold Blood", it's interesting to explore exactly where this memoir diverges from the truth- what lies hidden behind the narrator's engaging facade? Berendt comes across as a good-natured everyman, a writer newly settled in town, just taking a look around. Of course, he was a good deal more than that: the famous ex-editor of New York Magazine, and more importantly, perhaps, a gay man. This background explains his easy entree into the life of Jim Williams, the anti-hero of the book. Rich, handsome, secretive, and gay- a man not too dissimilar from the narrator: He was tall, about fifty, with darkly handsome, almost sinister features: a neatly trimmed mustache, hair turning sliver at the temples, and eyes so black they were like the tinted windows of a sleek limousine - he could see out, but you couldn't see in. We were sitting in the living room of his Victorian house. It was a mansion, really, with fifteen-foot ceilings and large, well-proportioned rooms. A graceful spiral stairway rose from the center hall toward a domed skylight. There was a ballroom on the second floor. It was Mercer House, one of the last of Savannah's great houses still in private hands. Together with the walled garden and the carriage house in back, it occupied an entire city block. If Mercer House was not quite the biggest private house in Savannah, it was certainly the most grandly furnished. Much has been written about Berendt's many elisions and emendations of the strict truth: the way he rearranged the timeline of the murder at the center of the book to narrate it in the first person, the "degaying" of the murder victim, the changing of names and invention of composite characters. This is all worth thinking about, but I'm more interested in a different class of distortions: what hidden biases does a rich, gay northerner bring to a description of the South? First, there is the previously mentioned delight in the grotesque. This is a tendency of all northern authors to reduce people in the South to types. Berendt does some of this, and while the reduction makes for good story-telling, you can't help but wonder what kind of truth it leaves out of the picture. Second, as a white northerner, the author has little access to the Black culture of the city- and apart from a short chapter about a Black cotillion, the only Black faces we see in the story are trannies, witch doctors, and servants. This probably misses some deeper truths about the city. Finally, as a wealthy gay man, Berendt's sympathies seem clearly biased towards Jim Williams, with whom he shares more than a little in common (Berendt currently lives in a mansion on the Upper West Side decked out not-too-different than Williams' house in Savannah.) How does this change his story? I'm not sure- but it would probably be better if he addressed it himself when he was writing it. So what are we to make of all of this? Capote's "In Cold Blood", despite its flaws and half-truths, told a profound story of human nature and the depths to which people can sink. "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" tells an entertaining story about the degree to which you can beat a murder rap if you have a house filled with a couple of million dollars worth of antiques. That doesn't mean it's not worth your time: it's just not as important a book as its fame would suggest.

I gave this book till page 200 until I decided not to go on. The story itself was not bad at all, but then again it just didn't grab me. I still probably would have finished it, if it wasn't a library book and I was able to take my time with it. I think I would probably have liked it better if things didn't take so long to actually happen. While I did enjoy the descriptions of everything, there seemed to be altogether too many of them. I think maybe if I had been in a more patient mood, I would have enjoyed it better. I haven't totally written this one off, and I may pick it back up sometime in the future.
