Книжная полка Татьяны Лариной
Современный читатель «Евгения Онегина» сталкивается с тем, что ему зачастую непонятны не только реалии дворянского быта двухсотлетней давности, но и реалии тогдашней культуры. Что за романы читает Татьяна? Насколько они популярны? Татьяна одна такая во всей России или барышня с французской книжкою в руках есть в каждой дворянской усадьбе? Чтобы лучше понимать текст, нужно знать ответ на эти вопросы, хотя бы приблизительно, хотя бы для себя. Чтобы очертить возможные ответы, и написан этот текст.
Dr. Galen's Little Black Bag: Stories
In "Dr. Galen's Little Black Bag," we follow the man that Berto Galen, the boy from the New Jersey Tenements, has become, as he deals with the pleasures, traumas, and tragedies of life in the medical profession. Like R.A. Comunale's "Berto's World," it is a collection of stories, but together these stories create a portrait of someone who is deeply dedicated to healing–even as he struggles to heal the hurts and wounds he has suffered over a lifetime. And like the preceding collection, "Dr. Galen's Little Black Bag" presents basic human truths, dressed of necessity in the cloak of fiction.
Berto's World: Stories
Come and spend a little time with Dr. Robert Galen, aka Berto, as he traverses the memories of the tenement neighborhood of his youth. Meet the Mad Russian–why does he always carry a meat cleaver whenever he goes to get a shave from Thomas the barber? Then there's Giuseppe–Joe the Junkman–who roams through a neighborhood too poor to throw anything away. There are the Old Guys, veterans of the Great War, one a radio repairman who returned home with shell shock, the other a shoemaker with nothing below the waist. There's Mr. Buck, the clockmaker, who shares a secret with his young apprentice. There's the Candy Lady, who isn't so sweet, and the little Jewish dentist who defeated the Nazis but falls victim to Cupid's arrow from a most unexpected direction. Be sure to meet Sal, Tomas, and Angie, Berto's pals who help him confront life's greatest mystery: the opposite sex. And above all there is his mentor, Dr. Agnelli, who along with a dead lady sets Berto along his life's path.<br><br>Come and meet them–and all of the unforgettable denizens of Berto's World.
Rat Medicine & Other Unlikely Curatives
An astonishing variety of voices–male, female, young old–narrate the 20 diverse stories in this, Lauren B. Davis's first collection, though which alcohol flows like an unholy river of destruction and despair. In locales such as Halifax, Spain and rural Ontario, thanks to Davis's clear focus this sharp, exploratory mix goes beyond the margins of kitchen sink realism. Recognized as the work of an important new writer, this is where Lauren B. Davis's career began. The Globe and Mail called it audacious and extraordinary – an amalgam of deep intuitive perception, sly wit and candor that could strip paint.
Cheyenne Madonna
One stormy night in 1826, just north of Galveston Bay, Old Bull, a Cheyenne Indian who had just seen the ocean for the first time, found himself trying to outrace a hurricane. Lifted from his horse, spun around, and thrown down in the bayou, Old Bull rode the current into a small canyon, and survived. He was the only one of his party to return from the expedition, arriving home nearly naked, nearly hallucinating, riding a horse.<br><br>Such is the auspicious beginning to the life of Jordan Coolwater, a distant relation to Old Bull, whom we meet as a boy in the 1970s, shooting turtles on a summer day, and being raised by his grandparents on Creek Indian land in the house of his great-great-grandfather, a survivor of the "Trail of Tears." Bearing the burden of his ancestry, Jordan Coolwater—from bored young boy, to thoughtful teenager, struggling artist, escaped convict, and finally, father—is the subject of Eddie Chuculate's prize-winning collection of linked short stories. The first story in the collection, "Galveston Bay, 1826," won an O'Henry Prize in 2007, and the second, "Yo Yo," received a Pushcart Prize Special Mention.<br><br>Reminiscent of Denis Johnson's Jesus's Son, Chuculate's gritty, deceptively simple stories also recall Junot Dias and Sherman Alexie. This is not only a portrait of a young Native American artist struggling with the two constants in his life, alcohol and art, but also a portrait of America, of its dispossessed, its outlaws, and its visionaries.
