Simona Jurgelėnaitė thispartyisprivate — Does a book lose its accountability if it's beautifully written? I think, in many cases, we want to say that we have to splice the book - pick apart what is lovely, and less so, and how that is sometimes a result of the "times in which the author lived." It's a bit like appreciating and honoring Thomas Jefferson for his role as a founding father, while also finding him corrupted by his own participation (and parenting of enslaved people) in the institution of slavery. The Sheltering Sky is in fact beautifully written. Authored by Paul Bowles, a traveler, writer, and composer who worked with the likes of Aaron Copeland, the novel, which was Bowles' first, sparkles and vibrates with talent - and the gleam of misogyny and racism is never far away from the execution of Bowles' considerable talent. The novel is tightly structured, featuring three main sections, each with a different focus. It is well edited and for the most part, shows a writer with an admirable amount of discipline when writing. What is problematic is the story itself, the characters, and perhaps the author's own desire to explain the "brutality of the desert." As Bowles explains in his Foreword, his female protagonist Kit(for in the end the book is really about Kit), was always an object; she was never intended to possess a fully developed character. It should be no surprise then that the novel has her disintegrating upon the death of her cuckolded husband, and then "going native," in what one can only describe, in this post-feminist age, as a cringe-so-powerful-my-toes-curled scene in which she is sexually assaulted (but not really - Bowles suggests). Though in truth the technical skill of the writing is powerful - and unquestionably superb, I cannot give The Sheltering Sky an unexamined or unambivalent review - the issues of race, class, and gender are too salient, problematic, and rife.

Nate Frost natefrost — I read this book after I had read The Case For Israel because for my exhibition I also needed to know how Palestine's people felt about the conflict. The book was very similar to the previous book I had read, same format, very simple to read and was able to find all the information needed for my topic. Each question per chapter was presented with lots of evidence. It was great that I found this book because writing my exhibition paper would have been difficult with only Israeli's thoughts and nothing coming from the Palestinian side. I used the two books to compare the clashing ideas and incorporated the evidence into my paper.
