I don't know what the big deal about this book is. Most of the characters were horribly self-serving people, and those who weren't were cowardly. I think Ayn Rand was trying to make a statement about an individual going against common views shouldn't necessarily be considered wrong, but to put that in a novel with so many unlikable people and with the world of architecture (not the most fascinating industry) as the backdrop, it didn't work for me.

This book was recommended to me by a friend who's currently studying with Lux. About five poems in, I started trying convince said friend to give Lux a polaroid photo of me with "I like you! Do you like me! If yes, check this box," written on the back. Lux has a conversational style that fans of the how-ubiquitious-can-one-poet-be Billy Collins will be drawn to. He uses this casual, approachable tone to build to climactic moments of shocking power. He's a perfect example of Annie Lamott's advice to writers, to focus on one square inch and find their subject there. Lux starts with the minutae of the everyday and builds a poetic universe outward from it. I'd also recommend this to anyone who claims not to like poetry.

he does some great translations from the Greek -- explaining this "pidgin" language that the Gospels were written in.(actually, he uses the word "Creole.") Jesus comes off as a manic performance artist of real genius -- slightly more provoking than Johnny Rotten!

Great book. I reread this in 2004 for another class. I'm glad I had to read it again because I felt I caught a lot of things I didn't see the first time. Also, I remember doing a project for this book and finding an image of a weird lady with an axe on Yahoo. I believe it was "Peri_with_an_ax.jpg".

The end of World War I was a traumatic time for Britain, even though they won. Hundreds of thousands of men died, and more than a million came back wounded. Family dynamics changed, the roles of women changed, everyone who survived sought ways to carry on and cope with a world that had changed around them. At the same time, the Golden Age in mystery fiction began. Elizabeth Speller brings all of these elements together in her debut novel, The Return of Captain John Emmett. It's a wonderful story that sheds light on the engimatic title character, the narrator who searches for the truth about Capt. Emmett's last days, the changes in British society and what happens when people think they're doing favors by not telling the truth. Laurence Bartram is one young officer trying to put his life back together after the year. His wife and newborn son died while he was off fighting. Back in London, he's trying to write a book but is as diffident about it as he is about everything else. He learns of the suicide of a former school mate, John Emmett, who returned from the war a broken man. John's sister wants to know more about John's final days, so she enlists Laurie's help. Since he's so obviously at loose ends, and wants to be a decent chap, he agrees to see what he can find out. His search takes him to a home for such broken soldiers, as well as a few people who were left small legacies by Captain Emmett. What bound him to them? What made him feel he should do something? Their stories show the range of sorry situations in which people found themselves -- one man confined to a wheelchair, a former nurse still caring for the wounded, a soldier still working for his officer trying to forget a shameful episode and a journalist who tried to record the horror that was happening. Eventually Laurie discovers a small group of men ordered to take part in a disgraceful act have been dying after the war. Are they are odd accidents? Or are they being murdered? And, if they have been killed, who did it? Laurie, with the help of another old friend, Charles, sets off on a classic amateur detective's journey. What they uncover are the kinds of secrets that the characters have kept from those they care about the most, hoping to spare them the harsh realities of war. As is usual when secrets are kept, the unforeseen complications cause their own kind of pain. But true to human nature, Speller's characters don't come to this realization and decide to be truthful after the revelations. They continue protecting those they love. Many of them are trapped in a past when people just did what they were called upon to do, and kept stiff upper lips instead of unburdening themselves on others. Nothing, however, is kept from one major character. Perhaps it's no coincidence that this character also appears to be one of those most likely to have absorbed war's tragedies and who appears to not be haunted by the past. The other major character who appears in best shape seems to be one of those who has absorbed everything all along and can carry on, the way the other characters have fooled themselves into thinking they could do. Speller's use of the historical record serves her story well. Among other sources, she uses the work of Dr. W.H.R. Rivers, who inspired greatness in Pat Barker's haunting Regeneration trilogy. The lost poets also receive homage, as does the much slower pace of those days in which motorcars were owned only by the rich. Agatha Christie and the tropes of Golden Age detective fiction feature. Those who are reading this novel as a traditional whodunit may not be happy after the great drawing room scene, but anyone who knows their Dorothy L. Sayers knows this story arc is within tradition. But Laurie Bartram's search for the truth about John Emmett's last days is more than a whodunit. It's also a whydunit about some of the things that men who thought they were putting honor first did in the name of nation and loyalty during war. And it's a howdunit about ways in which people can heal after their lives are torn apart by a nation's trauam, or in which they can try to soldier on.

Anthologies are often tricky for me to rate, and this one is no exception. Some of the stories were awesome and some weren't. Most of the stories grew up organically around the premise of Gilgamesh's immortal bar, but there were a few that gave the distinct impression of being half written before the idea for this anthology and the immortal bar was thrown in ex post facto. This volume is definitely worth reading and it introduced me to a few authors that I'd like to check out in the future, as well as warned me off from a few that I don't think I'll enjoy. Mostly I read this book because I knew Maria V. Snyder had a story in it and it was available through Kobo to put on the ereader I got for Christmas.
