A blog about nothing. October 2, 2013. The Disenchanted, Budd Schulberg: Fear and Loathing at Dartmouth. I want to know more about the Hollywood Novel. But Budd Schulberg was a name and writing talent that loomed over the industry at midcentury (not unlike Henry Adams. 1947–it doesn’t even have its own wiki entry)–, was a hard-punching heavyweight and yes, a contender, but I didn’t know his record very well. The funny part is that I’m also in Hemingway. It’s a great text for students of biography. Laquo;...

A blog about nothing. September 24, 2008. Is “Disturbing the Peace” a classic ‘Hollywood novel’?

A blog about nothing. July 15, 2013. Henry Adams Looming; Clarence King Passing. I was pretty happy with culling Boston books the other day. The bookshops in Boston aren’t especially exciting (advantage, Berkeley: Go Bears! Was great but no picnic, not an easy-read, and good form and some mental energy on my part would be necessary just to get into it, things I didn’t possess at the moment.

A blog about nothing. September 12, 2013. The Five of Hearts, Patricia O’Toole. The Five of Hearts: An Intimate Portrait of Henry Adams and His Friends 1880-1918. I had good luck with a well-done group biography Partisans. Reading a fair amount of her fiction and memoirs, and a really good biography of her by Frances Kiernan, Seeing Mary Plain. I was drawn to the book after discovering the story of Clarence King. O’Toole does a good job of sketching out King’s biography and his relationship t...Looks rea...

http://perduedansleslivres.blogspot.com/2012/05/le-baiser-de-feu-masako-togawa_12.html
Le baiser de feu - Masako Togawa. L’intrigue est complexe, parfois extravagante, la psychologie des personnages fouillée et les revirements de situation étonnants. La conclusion mérite que l’on s’accroche à la lecture de ce roman à trois voix, unique roman traduit en français de Masako Togawa, écrivain et chanteuse, sur la trentaine qu’elle a écrit. Pour voir Masako chanter, c'est ici. Le baiser de feu – Masako Togawa. Traduit de l’anglais par Hélène Prouteau. Titre original : A kiss of fire. La Tour de ...
