In this work, first published in 1923, Lawrence comments on the following American writers: Ben Franklin, Hector St. John de Crèvecoeur, James Fenimore Cooper, Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Richard Henry Dana, Herman Melville and Walt Whitman In this work, first published in 1923, Lawrence comments on the following American writers: Ben Franklin, Hector St. John de Crèvecoeur, James Fenimore Cooper, Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Richard Henry Dana, Herman Melville and Walt Whitman.

And he pontificates from front to back. Probably the most famous sentence in the book: “The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic and a killer.” Thus the book is more about Lawrence than it is about the writers or works he discusses though his observations are often interesting and inciteful.

Lawrence has a premise which I dare to summarize as follows: a human being is an isolated individual traveling along an open road and while he may and should be in sympathy with other individuals, he should not have sympathy for them. An individual cannot become the other or merge with the other. “Each soul should be alone,” he tells us. Moreover, while physical and emotional love may draw two humans together, if they get too close one or both will be destroyed. He often sees the person and the artist as two separate beings. He reads and comments on the above writers through the prism of this premise and often concludes that while as humans the writers failed, as artists they succeeded.

Franklin. After having great fun mocking Ben Franklin’s list of virtues, Lawrence produces his own list. With some exceptions, I prefer Ben’s.

Crèvecoeur. I was not familiar with St. John de Crèvecoeur who lived from 1735 until 1813. French by birth, for some time he lived on the American frontier and he wrote a series of essays entitled Letters from an American Farmer. The most interesting observation I received from Crèvecoeur, as quoted by Lawrence, concerned white children who had been kidnapped by native Americans. When these children were later rescued they unfailingly did not wish to return to their original families but sought the protection of their captors.

Cooper. Lawrence writes: “Fenimore Cooper has probably done more than any writer to present the Red Man to the white man.” As I did as a young man, Lawrence admires the Leatherstocking novels greatly, especially the hunter, hero Natty Bumppo. “But Natty is a saint with a gun and the Indians are gentlemen through and through, though they may take the occasional scalp.”

Poe. I was not looking forward to the chapter on Edgar Allan Poe but I found it interesting and perceptive. According to Lawrence, it was Poe’s unending desire for union that explains the stories and causes all the horror. “It is easy to see why each man kills the thing he loves. To know a thing is to kill it…the desirous consciousness, the SPIRIT, is a vampire.”

Hawthorne. There are two chapters on Hawthorne. In the first he writes: “And if a woman doesn’t believe in a man, she believes, essentially in nothing. She becomes, willy-nilly, a devil.” But then in the second we get, “Sin is a queer thing. It isn’t the breaking of divine commandments. It is the breaking of one’s own integrity.”

Dana. Lawrence admires Two Years Before the Mast as I did when I read it many years ago. He includes several paragraphs from the book and I had the opportunity to be moved by them once again. “Dana never forgets, never ceases to watch.” “Dana’s small book is a very great book.” I would add that he was also a concise and eloquent writer.

Melville. There are also two chapters on Melville. “The greatest seer and poet of the sea for me is Melville.” “He was a modern Viking. There is something curious about real blue-eyed people. They are never quite human in the good classic sense…”

Whitman. I gained nothing of interest from the chapter on Whitman.

For all its quirks, I found this book well worth reading. You must wade through paragraphs of blather but what appears between the blather is fascinating. The chapters on Two Years Before the Mast and Moby Dick alone make the book worth the effort. ...more

Readers who take it on should be prepared to tolerate frequent use of the C word, a few I read this novel in 1962 shortly after it got free of the censors and almost thirty years after it was first published in France. Now at 85 I have read it again. Readers who take it on should be prepared to tolerate frequent use of the C word, a few of the N word, occasional commentary that some might consider antisemitic, and a text containing more spiel than narrative. But there is humor, commentary on art, music and literature, some fine descriptions of Paris, some interesting characters and one or two tiresome ones. But mostly it is about Henry Miller, a New Yorker who lived and wrote in Paris in the early 1930s. This time through I found entertaining chapters and others quite wearisome, some powerful sentences and others that to me were trash. Rather than writing the usual review I have extracted a few sentences for the prospective reader.

“I have no money, no resources, no hopes. I am the happiest man alive.”
“This is not a book. This is libel, slander, defamation of character.”
“There are people who cannot resist the desire to get into a cage with wild beasts and be mangled.”
“Everywhere I go people are making a mess of their lives. Everyone has his private tragedy.”
“I am crying for more and more disasters, for bigger calamities, for grander failures.”
“Europe—medieval, grotesque, monstrous: a symphony in B-mol.”
“Little urchins marked with the forceps.”
“… a whore all the way through and that was her virtue!”
“I have been ejected from the world like a cartridge…the earth is smeared with frozen grease.”
The City is palpitating “as if it were a heart just removed from a warm body.”
When “spring comes to Paris the humblest mortal alive must feel he dwells in paradise.”
“I am only spiritually dead. Physically I am alive. Morally I am free.”
“If I am a hyena I am a lean and hungry one. I go forth to fatten myself.”
“I am not an American any more, nor a New Yorker, and even less a European, or a Parisian.”
“…the world is a mad slaughterhouse.”
“The cradles of civilization are the putrid sinks of the world.”
“Drunk with this lecherous eczema of the future…”
“When the sun comes out any spot in Paris can look beautiful.”
“Side by side with the human race there runs another race of beings, the inhuman ones, the race of artists who, goaded by the fever and ferment with which they imbue it turn this soggy dough into bread and the bread into wine and the wine into song.”
“No one to whom I can communicate even a fraction of my feelings….”
“Everything frozen tight as scum, the mind locked and rimed with frost, and through the melancholy bales of chitter-wit the chocking garble of louse eaten saints.”
“The thought of such absolute privacy is enough to drive me mad.” ...more

I found it helpf John Berger’s exploration of Pablo Picasso was first published in 1965 when the painter was still alive. The 1989 edition, which I read, contains a short opening chapter and a concluding one both written following the artist’s death. I found it helpful to keep the internet close at hand while reading because the black and white reproductions in the book are dark and dreary while the paintings themselves are often filled with jovial detail and lively color.
I am not myself an artist or a devoted student of art history but I found much that was interesting and inciteful in these pages. Picasso possessed remarkable energy and he lived, it seems, only to create. In a way the man was a shell through which surged an unrelenting urge to translate passions, obsessions, and traumas into forms and images. Burger uses the Spanish word duende to name this force. Once a painting was complete, he tells us, Picasso lost interest in it as a creation, though not as an object that possessed value. As a result he became enormously rich and celebrated, surrounded by idolizers but also isolated and tormented. What we have left is the artwork and with Berger’s guidance, the opportunity to judge it for ourselves.
Picasso lived a long life and was relentlessly active. He produced art in a variety of media and passed through numerous “styles” or “periods.” Everyone has their favorite and least favorite of these periods, I suppose. Berger dismisses as “absurd,” for example, the painting First Steps which I loved. I personally grow weary of the endlessly disjointed breasts and buttocks. Berger favors Picasso’s cubism period early in his career, while I, being an old man, found particularly poignant his analysis of the drawings Picasso produced at the end of 1953. These drawings feature beautiful young women and the aging artist in various guises such as a clown or an old man hiding behind a mask, often with a monkey mocking him nearby. Berger writes: “Picasso is confessing his horror at the fact that the body ages and the imagination does not.” How true. ...more

DOM CASMURRO provides an entertaining look at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in the latter half of the 19th century. In one sense the novel is firmly locked into that physical landscape and time period—overwhelming Catholic sensibilities, slaves casually pre DOM CASMURRO provides an entertaining look at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in the latter half of the 19th century. In one sense the novel is firmly locked into that physical landscape and time period—overwhelming Catholic sensibilities, slaves casually present but barely mentioned, bizarre medical remedies, stark separations of class and gender, struggles of love and jealousy, even an Emperor!
But the novel is also wonderfully fresh and surprising in its presentation, because as Bento (or Bentinho) Santiago narrates his story he also comments on other things, including the act of writing the story itself, often in humorous ways. “Now that I have explained the title, I can proceed to write the book,” he tells us at the beginning of the second chapter. Much later, “Let’s put the pen down for a while and come to the window to give the memory a breath of fresh air.”
Bentinho is fifteen when the story begins. His first and deepest love is for his mother, Dona Gloria, who is wealthy, extremely religious, and a widow, but his second, equally intense love is for Capitu, the fourteen-year-old girl who lives next door. Therein lies the tension that dominates the first one-hundred pages—and to my eyes—the best portion of the novel. Dona Gloria loves her son and Capitu, and Capitu loves Dona Gloria, but Dona Gloria has made an unfortunate promise and feels she must honor it even though it breaks her heart. When her first-born son died, Gloria promised that if God granted her a second son, he would become a priest. Bentinho is the son God has given her, and the conflict between that aged promise and the characters’ present desires hatches numerous schemes and episodes.
The central characters are well described:
José Dias, a “dependent” who lived in the family home “loved superlatives.”
Uncle Cosme was “fat and heavy, short of breath and with heavy eyes.”
Dona Gloria wore an “eternal dark dress without ornaments, with a black shawl, folded in a triangle and fastened at the breast with a cameo.”
Cousin Justina “was honest enough to tell you what a low opinion she had of anyone, and she had a high opinion of no one.”
Capitu is “tall, strong and well-built,” and “more of a woman than I was a man.”
And poor Bentinho: “I’m willing to be anything she likes…. But not a priest.”
For me, the most striking feature of the novel, in addition to the commentary that Bento provides us, is the intimacy that is shown to exist between the characters. These people truly do listen to one another; they care for one another; and they insist on being human with one another wherever that leads.
The second half of the novel covers a longer frame of time but less vividly and perhaps more predictably with the result that I, at least, cared less about the fates of the characters at the end than I did early on, though Capitu remains an intriguing enigma, not only for what she did or didn’t do, but how we should interpret the clues provided us, given the time and place when the novel was written.
That said, I recommend we all follow Bento’s advice to “My lady reader…who has opened this book to amuse herself…now wants to shut it hastily, as she sees us approaching an abyss. Don’t do it, my dear; I’m changing course.” ...more

I read and reviewed Sally Rooney’s first novel CONVERSATIONS WITH FRIENDS, which I I write fiction and review fiction that engages me but I am not comfortable with the rating system. Thus, be aware, I give five stars to any novel I choose to review.
I read and reviewed Sally Rooney’s first novel CONVERSATIONS WITH FRIENDS, which I much enjoyed. I had some problems with NORMAL PEOPLE; for example I found nothing in the text up to that point to justify Connell’s realization on page 109 that he could hit Marianne in the face very hard “and she would just sit there and let him.” The observation works to foreshadow what follows, of course, but finding nothing to justify it, Connell’s realization felt gratuitous and annoying to this reader.
Indeed I did not find anything in the novel that serves to explain Marianne’s predilection. Yes, her father is deceased, her brother is a degenerate bully and her mother distant and cold, but Marianne is also shown to be bright, discerning and capable of rebellion. Note her independence at school and how strong she is when a teacher mocks her for looking out the window. None of this suggests passivity.
But if we accept that Marianne is what she is, I do credit Rooney with making a sincere and honest attempt to understand how such a character experiences the world and how the world reacts to her. The effort made for tough, at times cringy reading for me: the scene in the studio of Lukas, the Swedish photographer, being one example.
But as I wrote in the earlier review, Rooney is a skilled novelist, deserving of a serious reader’s time and attention. She’s bright and insightful, her style clean and refreshing; the central characters here are complex and well developed, her choices of subject challenging. And along the way she leaves little gems for us to enjoy: “He was like a freezer item that had thawed too quickly on the outside and was melting everywhere, while the inside was still frozen solid.”
This novel was made into a miniseries in Great Britain and is available to stream in the US. Although I admired the actors chosen for the leads, I found the series unwatchable, the sex scenes overlong and over boring. The truth holds: If we think of a novel is an orange, the movie version is almost always orange juice. ...more

Not a Tolstoy, a Dostoevsky or even a Chekov but a fine writer and the first to gain an international reputation. When his collection, Ske Ivan Turgenev has always been a member of the starting five on that great team of 19th century Russian writers. Not a Tolstoy, a Dostoevsky or even a Chekov but a fine writer and the first to gain an international reputation. When his collection, Sketches from a Hunter’s Album, came out in 1852, the stories caught the Tzar’s eye and are said to have helped end serfdom a few years later.
As the title suggests, the stories are narrated from the perspective of an avid hunter. That said, they contain virtually nothing about hunting itself, though they often begin with the narrator heading out for or coming back from a day of hunting, usually grouse. The stories are rural, set in the grasslands south and east of Moscow where Turgenev grew up and they invite us into the lives of the serfs and small landowners who live there. “The Oryol peasant is a man of little stature, round-shouldered, gloomy…”
They are charming, these stories, and rich with detail, and they provide a fine picture of rural Russian life in the mid-nineteenth century, a land of crops and horses and unquestioned class distinctions. Many open with a detailed description of a location or a natural scene: “I was sitting in a birch wood one autumn…” Horses are bought and sold; they appear pulling carts, droshkies and troikas and he describes the animals knowledgeably and with care. Most characters are male, some are retired military officers. You will read of landowners, a district doctor, estate managers and bailiffs, the downtrodden and the enterprising. You will encounter the chilling term “quit-rent” which describes a payment made by a serf to his master to free himself, not from serfdom itself, but from an obligation to provide services beyond the payment of rent.
Surprising to me, there is virtually no reference to winter in the sketches. The described weather is often hot and humid, though we learn that a forest died off one winter for lack of snow: a blanket of snow protects forests apparently, and that winter it failed to snow.
Turgenev was a somewhat controversial figure in Russia. Less taken with religion than Tolstoy, he had studied in Berlin and believed that Russia would benefit by becoming more westernized. For this he was labeled a “Westerner” by his contemporaries, and thus honored by some and denounced by others. Much of his adult life he lived outside of Russia. ...more
