Books read and other media of note |
The Labyrinth of Dreaming Books by Walter Moers Although
I'm a huge fan of Walter Moers, this book seemed to be what happens
when a verbally and visually effusive writer confronts a form of
writer's block. Ostensibly it is Yarnspinner the narrator
suffering from loss of the Orm, or writer's block, but the whole book
seemed to be mostly a rehash of The City of Dreaming Books retold in
puppetry. Even a cliffhanger ending did not lead me to be excited
to read the purported next book in the series. Bandit's Moon by Sid Fleischman. One of my favorite juvenile authors, in this book he paints a sympathetic portrait of an Hispanic bandit and the young girl who ends up briefly riding with his gang... Fleischman is at his best at tall tale adventures, but he's pretty good at the warm and fuzzies as well. Robert B. Parker's Ironhorse by Robert Knott Early in Robert Parker's career, he wrote a sequel to The Big Sleep called Poodle Springs... In the same way Appaloosa screenwriter Knott has done a fine job of continuing the Vergil Cole/Everett Hitch stories which have helped revive the western novel in the 21st century. Although the repartee sometimes seems like it's written by Garrison Keillor with Dusty and Lefty, the train robbery and kidnapping are engrossing events, and Knott may well assume the mantle of Parker, at least in the western genre. A Mighty Hard Road--Woodie Guthrie by Henrietta Yurchenco. Even though it's many years since I read Bound for Glory, Woodie's autobiography, most of the facts in this seemed to be about the same. It's nice that the biographer knew Woodie from his radio days in NYC. Woodie filled a major musical niche in the mid 20th Century, picking up songs from the earlier generation of the Carter Family and other oldtimers, appropriating old tunes and writing new lyrics. When I started buying records at the end of the folk era, I got several lp rereleases of his folky stuff, with Sonny and Brownie and Leadbelly joining in. It was in college when my brother in law lent me the BPA album that I heard his best music. The tribute lp's to Woodie after his death were important also. This book taught me the real connection between people like Will Geer and Ramblin' Jack Elliot and Woodie... The Players of Null-A by A. E. Van Vogt. Sort of a story within a story, as an agent from Venus trying to stop an imperial invasion is transported across the galaxy into the mind of an imperial courtier... |
