Armentrout is a master of weaving rich contemporary realism with magic and mayhem. In 1922 “The Waste Land” was exhilaratingly modern and since then, say some critics, nothing more modern has been written.

Yes, 1922 was worse.Īrticulating the dread and despair of the 1920s was a poem aptly named “The Waste Land”. Americans were suffering under Prohibition. The Bolsheviks were consolidating their rule in Russia after a civil war in which 10 million died. Another 40 million or so died in the Great Influenza Epidemic. The world had just recovered from the First World War, in which 40 million people died. One hundred years ago, the future looked grim.

Swimming Cats and Flying Dogs - Two Books in One: Isle of Swimming Cats and Valley of Flying Dogs - You Say Which Way (Trade Paperback / Paperback) First I texted four friends who travel and eat out a lot and whose judgment I trust. Let’s look at how I do things, maybe with a slightly less important decision, like the time I had to pick where to eat dinner in Seattle when I was on tour last year. That’s how my dad decided on the person with whom he was going to spend the rest of his life. Happily so-and probably more so than most people I know who had nonarranged marriages. A week later, they were married.Īnd they still are, 35 years later. He quickly deduced that she was the appropriate height (finally!), and they talked for about 30 minutes. The first girl, he said, was “a little too tall,” and the second girl was “a little too short.” Then he met my mom. I asked my dad about this experience, and here’s how he described it: he told his parents he was ready to get married, so his family arranged meetings with three neighboring families. I am perpetually indecisive about even the most mundane things, and I couldn’t imagine navigating such a huge life decision so quickly. The problem before me, as I saw in the first flash, was this: I had to deal with a subject of which the dramatic climax, or rather the anti-climax, occurs a generation later than the first acts of the tragedy. So much for the origin of the story there is nothing else of interest to say of it, except as concerns its construction. I give the impression merely as a personal one it accounts for "Ethan Frome," and may, to some readers, in a measure justify it. Even the abundant enumeration of sweet-fern, asters and mountain-laurel, and the conscientious reproduction of the vernacular, left me with the feeling that the outcropping granite had in both cases been overlooked. Even before that final initiation, however, I had had an uneasy sense that the New England of fiction bore little- except a vague botanical and dialectical- resemblance to the harsh and beautiful land as I had seen it. I had known something of New England village life long before I made my home in the same county as my imaginary Starkfield though, during the years spent there, certain of its aspects became much more familiar to me.

If however, the book begins to bug you and you cant figure out why and yet you cannot put it down.snort. Actually, all you need to do is read some Thoreau and then visit your local "adult" bookstore. Its the only way to "get it." Of course, if you really love goats and metaphors about dirty greek deities and non-stop phallic references and explicit but pseudo-lesbianism, you will not need to preform the aformentioned snorting. The basic plot is bullshit.buuuuut read between the lines. Its worth reading- its entertaining at least. The juxtaposition of graphic gross-yam pudding-while-balling with-old-chinese-men-sex and the brilliant and enlightened way in which TR philosophizes is maddening. It will stump you for days, and on the fifth day you will realize that TR is just what he appears to be.a gifted and obscenely talented ASS. You will walk away from this novel not only because it is gross, (or because you have pieces of Tim Robbin's genius on your face), but also because you wont be able to figure out why someone so apparently gifted would write about this trivial crap. He is a creative literary genius and he throws it in your face all throughout this book. |
