I read For Those Who Hunted the Wounded Down to ensure my teenage son read it for his English class. Lucky for me I did. It introduced me to a new (new to me) author who I plan to read lots more of. Mercy Among the Children...a heartwrenching, spiritual novel that demands us to have a close look at ourselves...if if doesn't do that for you...I think you've missed something. I rarely read a book twice but in this case I will because it was so deep, I'm sure I didn't catch every little detail. I had the oppotunity to meet Mr David Adams Richards, one to one. Receptive, open and down to earth, it was a real pleasure.

Mid-way through the book, I realized that I should watch The Best Years of Our Lives, the film mentioned throughout as Alice's dissertation subject. Once I did watch the film I went back and re-read Alice's deconstruction of the film and it also helped me understand some of the references, especially at the end where it really packed a punch even though I did not really like it. This is one of Auster's few novels that moved me emotionally. I loved the non-linear style the chapters were set up where we thought we were reading about Miles, but then the chapters became character sketches of each participant in Miles' life. Why didn't I like the ending? I guess because I have to agree with one of the reviewers who said that the book feels like it was only 2/3 of the actually story. But then not all stories need to be finished, so we're all caught in a bind. Why I gave a 4/5 and not 5? The last 30 pages of the book threw me off balance, perhaps intentionally, but I did not like the assault. I did not have a vested interest in Morris Heller, and the last 30 pages seemed to be mostly about Morris Heller. So what happens to the protagonist?

More interesting in theory than in practice.
I'm re-reading Stardust in anticipation of the film, which will be released in August. I love this book, so of course I'm apprehensive about the film. We'll see.

In this book, we see nineteenth-century Washington congressmen hocking tobacco-juice loogies all over the Congressional carpets. This book is awesome. American Notes for General Circulation is a portrait of 1842 America and Americans unlike any I’d ever encountered. Probably because, as it turns out, Americans liked Dickens's social commentary about stuff like Oliver Twist not getting a little more, but didn’t so much want to hear critiques about themselves. Typical. And so the book hasn’t come down in the classic US canon for the ages. I think that maybe it should have. I’m still haunted by Dickens's image of traveling west, pre-railroad, through a soggy brown wasteland of gigantic stumps and tiny shacks – Little House on the Prairie it ain’t. And the discomfort, difficulty and danger (seems like those newfangled steam ships had a tendency to explode) of Dickens’s journey is riveting in itself, down to the descriptions of the shipboard accommodations, particularly the cuisine (look for it!). But it’s not all jolly in travelogue land. Dickens found the institution of slavery so repugnant that a well-deserved excoriation of the US for tolerating it is a major focus of the book. Yay, Dickens! But did anyone else notice that in the midst of his knight errantry on behalf of the enslaved and impoverished, his treatment of women was rather problematic? I mean, he spends a not-insignificant portion of the book checking out hot Yankee babes (in kind of a creepy way), making scathing remarks about those Cambridge, MA bluestockings, and presenting his wife in a less-than-flattering light. Boo, Dickens! Now writing three-dimensional women was not exactly Dickens’s strong suit, but I’ve always cut him some Victorian male slack on that one. But as he served up yet another ogle, something gave, and I haven’t been able to cut him quite the same length of slack since. My issues with Dickens and women didn’t scuttle the book, though, which is hilarious, insightful and feels awfully familiar. The more things change…
A terrific continuation of the lives of those introduced in Tempest-tost.
