Too heady. Perhaps those are the inevitable growing pains of a talented, hyped, but young writer, but Smith has yet to fill her own shoes. Or something.

** spoiler alert ** I think I'm going to give up on translations, well, at least ones that stem from Japan. Here is a story of incest, rape, and prostitution, which, I suppose, is meant to shock or enthrall you, but the writing (actually, I should say translation) is so horrid that, while I'm supposed to be disgusted/empathetic/sympathetic/insert-random-emotion here, I'm just distracted by the wording. While I normally blame the author for this, I can't help to think maybe Steven Clark shouldn't be doing translations or anything with literature, ever. Because I don't read Japanese, I'll never know the point to this book as I learned nothing, as I don't feel sorry for the main character, as I don't even know what happened. When you're introduced to her soon-to-be rapist, you're wondering why in hell you're being introduced to him. Again, Western literature has tainted me and I probably expect things to happen in such a way, but still, I didn't see much of a purpose of the whole chapter. I'm still puzzled trying to see why a book like this (again, perhaps just the translation) - where a emotionally closed off girl has sex with her mentally handicapped brother, becomes a prostitute while continuing to have sex with her mentally handicapped brother, discovers she's the product of artificial insemination, searches out her biological father, only to have sex with him - well, you see my point - even exists. Perhaps it seemed like a good idea where shock media sells, but when a translation is so horrible, you have to ponder that question in what a publishing house was thinking when they said, "It seems like a good idea." Did they even read it before pushing it out there? I should add this is the first time I completed reading the book. I'd tried in the past several times, but each time opted that shoving a pencil through my eye would have been a better deal. However, I did spend money on it, so I felt like I had to read it. This was Snakes and Earrings all over again.

Like a lot of parenting books, this had some good pointers and suggestions, and some things that I didn't necessarily agree with. I did like a lot of things in this book because I have one child in particular that a lot of the principles I think may help. Each child is different and different things work for each one, so I don't know if this is a style I'd suggest for everyone. But I definitely got some good ideas and things that I'm trying to implement with my children.

I had a moderate liking of this book. Wasn't bad nor great--I did like the philosophy references though!--so what baffles me is why the MLA picked this as one of their top 100 modern novels.

So much to discuss in this one--I loved it--there's not a lot of action, so don't expect an explosive ending

i prefer the alvin the maker books to the enders game series, i decided after picking up this little gem at the seward park library, because they are better. have you read alvin the maker? the reason it is way cooler than enders game, is because card reimagines american history; as if there were folk magic in the colonial times. it's like little house on the prairie mixed with the hobbit. that's what "seventh son", the one i'd read in middle school, is about. as far as i can tell- this one, red prophet, alvin the maker #2, is about: what if the french had sent napolean bonaparte to try and wrest america from the british colonists/the red indians? and, he was magical a little bit?!!! anyway it's pretty funny, as you can well imagine. card also addresses the origins of native american alcoholism.

Great. A marvelous, yet sad, end to a fantastic series. I loved it. A few things in the plot were somewhat predictalbe, but there were also many surprises. The part where they were on the run was a bit long, however. Rowling is a genius.

There is something to be said for knowing one's limitations, a lesson that was clearly lost on Jonathan Safran Foer. Foer attempts to be part J.D. Salinger (alienated quest), part William Faulkner (conflict with environment), and part E.L. Doctorow (hybridized novel), but does not have the literary chops to do the job on any count. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is the story of a young boy named Oskar whose father is killed in the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. His mother, disconnected and detatched, finds another man, but Oskar and his grandparents, who live across the street, are having a more difficult time coping with the death of their father and son, respectively. Oskar's grandparents are additionally haunted by their personal tragedy because the September 11th attacks remind them of the firebombing of Dresden during World War II. Foer attempts, however unsuccessfully, to parallel these two narratives and the separated generations that experienced them. Oskar is a unique child--he speaks many languages, makes friends with everyone he speaks with, and fashions jewelery. If one was unaware of Oskar's many talents, he would be happy to give them a business card. After finding a key left behind by his father, Oskar seeks to find what that key opens. This quest takes him around New York, a la Salinger's Holden, in a quest for self. These quests provide the reader with some emotional and enlightening experiences and scenes, but the poorly-executed allegory makes the journey mostly trite and overly moralistic. Neither Oskar nor Foer have the style to be Holden or Salinger, respectively. The unique style of The Catcher in the Rye provides it with its uniquely classic status; the pedestrian style of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close provides it with its average stature. Oskar's quest is caused by an inability to come to terms with his new environment. This is a feeling that both plagued and inspired Joyce and Faulkner. Joyce himself and Faulkner's characters, however, are much more experienced than Oskar and have had the opportunity to let their conflicts play out and become more nuanced than Oskar. Oskar is only nine-years old; the book happens too quickly and so does Oskar. The book would have perhaps been more effective if it were an insight into Oskar's teenage years, after the death of his father had simmered and fostered more backlash, especially at his mother. Then, and only then, could one see Oskar as Joyce, Faulkner, or even Holden. The way the story is woven together--hybridized (blank pages, different fonts, etc.) and with intertextuality--is not only too complex for a nine-year old boy, it is too complex for Foer who does not have the Morrison-esque or (her idol) Faulkner-esque chops to successfully hybridize the page. Foer's novel almost seems non-linear and hybridized for the sake of non-linearity and hybridization. The two plots--September 11th and Dresden--are never fully reconciled and the parallel is a bit askew. The nuances of both are lost on Foer. The discussions between Oskar and his grandparents lead to some genuinely hearfelt moments, but by-and-large the failure to adequately link these two historical instances falls short. E.L. Doctorow, one of the most skiled American writers, attempted to hybridize the page in Loon Lake, which, like Foer's effort, was noble but failed. If Doctorow can't do it, Foer can't either. I don't mean to come down hard on Foer because it takes a lot of courage to attempt to embrace and emulate these literary giants, but the novel can be considered a study in needing to let-Foer-be-Foer. He produces some very substantial, genuinely emotional moments, but they are few and far between and the hype of this novel as an anthem for the 9/11 generation quickly dissolves after only a few failed pages.

Once again, I loved being in AMS's Botswana. There is an interesting detective case; a Grace's-shoes vignette; and a nice turn for Charlie the mechanic. And, of course, red tea. Lovely.
