Nikhil Mahirrao nikhil3801 — I'm a sucker for a good romance. This is one of my favorites. And Darcy is so upstanding.

Aaron Barnes barnesa2c1f2 — Jaimy Gordon lifted literary hearts all over these States when, after decades of inexplicable obscurity, she captured the 2010 Nat'l Book Award with her small-press novel LORD OF MISRULE. That title's indeed sexy & scary & more, but here on GR I'll single out her previous full-length narrative, BOGEYWOMAN. A prolonged & sensuous growl out of teenaged Ursie (bearlike, yes), the novel suffered cruel neglect when it appeared in '99, & yet though much of the book concerns Ursie's sojourn in the "bughouse" (a private asylum, outside Baltimore), the tale she spins winds up a mischievous & engaging combo of coming-out, coming-of-age, & coming-into-power. All this, in a story that does without the least shred of the merely cute. Our young narrator pays a steep price for being "a * Unbeknownst To Everybody," attracted to "girlgoyles" but not strong enough yet to express how she feels. Instead she carves up her arms & gets herself committed to the bughouse straight out of the one place she felt most at home, "Camp Chunkagunk, Tough Paradise for Girls." So too, she spends much of her hospital stay pining away in lust-love for Dr. Zuk, the spookiest of her "dreambox mechanics." Ursie's sublimations always break some rule or other, in episodes that border on the surreal, as the psych ward births a new-style camp camaraderie. There's wild music & kidnapping & finally, via perverse & delicious means, escape & transcendence to a bold though fragile maturity. But that's quite enough about character & plot, rich & nutty though they are. I can't delay any longer celebrating the novel's bumptious & resonating *language.* BOGEYWOMAN, from its title on throughout, is chockablock with American neologisms, or at least new word-combinations, & again & again these prove nothing short of enchanting. I've singled out a few above ("dreambox mechanics," whew), & I'll note that the book carries a blurb from the late, great Gilbert Sorrentino, raving about the "lavish & daring" prose -- & more than that, I've got to say that Gordon's verbal pyrotechnics never feel like showing off. Rather, what she's about here is the time-honored business of celebrating the natural world. She coins fresh linguistic equivalents for whatever catches Ursie's fancy, & in so doing reawakens the reader to all sorts of everyday miracles. There's the sound of your secret crush laughing: "cowbells bouncing down a glass staircase, that was her laughter." There are the pleasures of raccoon droppings: "the harlequin scat of that model omnivore -- fishbones, corn, a plug of purple finch feathers, all bound together and tinted with the rosy, seed-speckled pleasure of blackberry." In BOGEYWOMAN, Jaimy Gordon proves herself just such a model, & a master, supernaturally alive to "what a feast run amok the whole earth was."

Infinitive Factory infoc3fa — Borrowed from Endicott College library. Very enjoyable, informative. Husband and wife (Maren) in 2 kayaks for 5 months, learning about the land, the water, what humans have done to change it. Slight environmental and native perspective, but mostly objective.
