Senay Ozok _enylee — The Elegance of the Hedgehog was a tough one for me. It's full of big words I don't know the meanings of, philosophy I don't agree with and French words I can't pronounce. Truthfully, the challenges mentioned above prevented me from reading this book as quickly as I have read others so far this year. I borrowed the book from my boss who had great things to say about it, and although I got a bit more into it each day, I needed the narrated audio version to get through it. Thank goodness for a free trial on Audible.com and a Kindle to play it! I was able to use context clues for the words I didn't know, finish strings of philosophy without stumbling and hear French words that I would have butchered on my own. It was wonderful. Plus, being able to hear the tone in the main characters' voices was an excellent advantage and added to the story. I was happy to read Paloma's Profound Thought No. 14, because I have been to Angelina's in Paris and it was fun to be able to relate to where she was and made the story more real for me. There is so much about this book that I loved, even if I didn't agree with everything in it. Paloma reminded me of Wednesday from The Addams Family and Renee reminded me of a smart Blanche from The Golden Girls (less the man crazy, though). :) I would love to read this again and can only imagine that I will gain more from it when I read it again and again. My advice to anyone considering The Elegance of the Hedgehog is not to let the difficulty of the reading get to you. If you're able to stick it out to the end and accept the real-to-life ending, you won't be disappointed!

Yonghwan Kim yonghwan — An ambitious account of patterns in home ownership and the use of homes over fifty-odd years in Chicago, City of Dreams places particular importance on the symbolic “imagined landscape” (136) of Chicago, particularly the single-family home with its fringe of green. It attempts to explain not just the material consequences of this landscape, but also how the single-family owned home came to represent autonomy, class stability, and gendered authority. As such, City of Dreams draws a differently contoured map of modernity than that of Harvey’s Paris. Where Harvey emphasizes the grand public symbols of imperial Paris – the boulevards and the market – Garb focuses on the more enclosed space of the single-family home and its sewage hookup. Infrastructure and its discontents are key themes of modernity, elucidated through Garb’s apt use of the beginnings of modern mass media: real estate journals, advertisements, pamphlets and other promulgators of a laboriously acquired dream home.
