Awesome super-hero stuff. I love Alan Moore.

This is Englander's first book, a collection of nine short stories with Jewish themes. Several revolve around the interaction between religious observance and modern times, modern challenges. Generally, I am not a fan of short stories. I enjoy the plot and character development that longer fiction entails. Often after having finished a short story I think, okay, that was an interesting idea, but am otherwise left wanting. This collection of short stories is no different. Some of the stories are interesting and well conceived. A few others were incomprehensible to me; I had no idea what was going on or what they were about. Perhaps short story reading requires a care of attention that I lack. In any event, I wanted to like this book more than I did. For fans of short stories I think they would like this book much more than I did.

Audio book: The writing was okay, but the plot was weak IMHO--and the ending? Yes, I realize it is a trilogy. However, I do not have interest enough to continue, so for me the ending was weak. I'll bet if the author condensed all three books into one, it might be a better stand-alone novel. Another thing, I didn't really understand the point of the Travelers. Wow, astro-projection...big deal. (Maybe it gets more interesting in the next book, but...) In a nutshell, listen-able, with a ho-hum plot.

I originally bought this book in Manila a couple of years ago as part of an epic book shopping spree (on the flight home I needed to buy extra kilos for my box of books), knowing little about the author. But I'm glad I did. Franzen's life story is unremarkable in terms of actual events, but it his analysis and the almost deadpan way in which he retells these events that made the book compelling for me. More importantly, I loved this book because Franzen's discomforts, his awkwardness and neuroses, are all traits that could have been lifted from my own personality. At times, it felt like Franzen had somehow invaded my thoughts and published my own personal history. Franzen reads like an older, drier and more thoughtful cousin of David Sedaris (and that's no bad thing). And while the story is littered with amusing anecdotes (but more refined and less slapstick than Sedaris can often be) and self-analyses, there are truly moving parts as well. Franzen's treatment of the loss of his mother seemed more real and nuanced to me than Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking ever was. His understanding of the Catch-22 that is adolescence left me wondering why no one had ever put it so truthfully before: "Adolescence is best enjoyed without self-consciousness, but self-consciousness, unfortunately, is its leading symptom. Even when something important happens to you, even when your heart's getting crushed or exalted, even when you're absorbed in building the foundations of a personality, there comes these moments when you're aware that what's happening is not the real story. Unless you actually die, the real story is still ahead of you. This alone, this cruel mixture of consciousness and irrelevance, this built-in hollowness, is enough to account for how pissed off you are. You're miserable and ashamed if you don't believe your adolescent troubles matter, but you're stupid if you do." This book may not be for everyone, but for those who appreciate the subtleties and absurdity of growing up, and particularly if you have any neuroses or quirks of your own, there is a lot to be gained from The Discomfort Zone.

Finally, an answer to my question "what novel contains the phrase a sinister pantaloon?" Objectively speaking, I didn't enjoy this read. But also speaking objectively, I appreciate the way this book sits on the cusp of the transition from 19th-century adventure writing to 20th century modernism. An omniscient narrator tells the story of first mate Jim abandoning his ship full of Muslim pilgrims. Then Conrad inserts his favorite narrator Marlow, who picks up the story of the rest of Jim's life, his self-exile. I didn't realize Conrad was friends with Ford Madox Ford, but I thought as I was reading of the way Ford constructs narratives and shifts points of view.

Read this in my early adolesence when I was reading, looking at and experimenting everything and everywhere with sexuality, identity, gender and so on. (Well, this hasn't quite ended) I found it fascinating and informing and when I discovered Kate Bornstein a few years later I was thrilled to see a person take control of her life and the relevant information concerning her choices and her issues good and bad with people. Both of these are insightful and informative, for different reasons.
basically shattered everything i thought about the world around me and built it back up on a much more solid foundation...
