Putnam's Sons, 2001 Hardcover, 353 pages Reviewed by Jenny Southlynn Steeped in superstition, myths and ghosts, the pain of love and loss, Amy Tan's novel, ==The Bonesetter's Daughter==, examines a families intimate past when Ruth Young discovers a journal kept by her mother LuLing, that reveals a host of ancient wounds and family secrets. Ruth Young is a young Chinese America, a bright, yet somewhat emotionally challenged women, who lives in San Francisco with her Caucasian lover and his two children from a previous marriage. Ruth finds herself a stranger in a strange land, caught between the demands of a contemporary life and all that that entails and an aging and superstitious Chinese mother LuLing, who may be suffering the onset of Alzheimer's disease. When Ruth's mother begins to display increasingly erratic behavior, Ruth decides to move in to care for her. During her stay Ruth discovers a journal hand written in Chinese that chronicles her mothers mysterious and tragic life. As a girl in China LuLing learns to late that she is the

illegitimate daughter of her nursemaid, a woman she knows only as "Precious Auntie." Precious Auntie was the bonesetter's daughter, a family with a 900 year tradition as healers. Precious Auntie weds but her dreams of happiness are shattered when her husband is murdered on their wedding day and the precious bones that are part of the skull of "Peking Man," the oldest human remains on earth, are stolen by the jealous coffinmaker Chang. When the grieving bride discovers her pregnancy and gives birth to a daughter LuLing, it is mandated by custom her child become the official daughter of a member of her deceased husbands family, the Liu clan who lived in the village of Immortal Heart for six centuries as inkstick makers. Serving as her own daughters nursemaid, Precious Auntie raises LuLing without LuLing knowing she is her mother. Events unfold leading to further tragedy before LuLing learns this terrible secret. Vulnerable now in her old age, LuLing shares the truth with Ruth whose insight into her mothers troubled past promotes understanding, and provides a basis of strength for her own life.==The Bonesetter's Daughter== is a glimpse into the depths of human courage and love, told by an artful storyteller -- a work that transcends all cultures, for all time. _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ 3. WINTER POEMS FOR THE YOUNG & YOUNG-AT-HEART. POEMS THAT CELEBRATE (WELL, MOSTLY, ANYWAY) WINTER Two Books Reviewed by Jennifer Lane WINTER EYES written and illustrated by Douglas Florian Greenwillow books 1999 isbn: 0-688-16458-7 Sure, winter is a pain sometimes. But since we have to live with it, why not find some good in it? Since

it takes so long, why not find ways to enjoy it? At least that's what Winter Eyes (written and illustrated by Douglas Florian) seems to be encouraging, with its visual and witty rhymed verses. Florian includes every wintry theme one could imagine in his book: winter sports, winter animals, the unwelcome ice and slush and the joy and beauty of the glistening snow and the evergreen trees. One poem, Winter Time, shows that the author is a Northerner: (excerpt) Spring zings/a brief sweet song Autumn falls/thin as a dime But winter/ always/ takes/ its/ time. Indeed it does! It takes its time like the drips of an icicle; all too quickly autumn and spring come and go. Perhaps Florian will consider writing and illustrating a Summer Eyes book - for summer can be as much of a hindrance as winter. It would be comforting to read such a book not just denouncing the season, but finding ways to celebrate it. ======= WINTER POEMS collected by Barbara Rogasky illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman Scholastic isbn: 0-590-42872-1 Wisely chosen poems from poets and writers ranging from Shakespeare to Wordsworth and everyone else in between. From Marchette Chute, one called "Skiing": "I'm very good at skiing I have a kind of knack For I can do it frontways And also on my back And when I reach the bottom

I give a sudden flop And dig myself in sideways And that's the way I stop." Sara Teasdale's "Night" is a simple but thoughtful poem: Stars over snow And in the west a planet Swinging below a star Look for a lovely thing and you will find it It is not far It never will be far. This is now my new favorite winter poem. Color me dull, if you will, for a likeness of this short but sweet meditation, but the last three lines are especially poignant brilliant yet subtle. Meaningful. Like the north star, perhaps? I asked my family and friends if they could remember a favorite winter poem from their childhood. My grandmother recalled one by Longfellow, though she could not remember all of it. I have had no luck finding the poem in its entirety: The snow had begun in the gloaming And busily all the night Had been heaping field and ? With a silence deep and bright. Every fir and hemlock Wore ermine too dear for an earl And the smallest pine in the forest Was ridged inch deep with pearl. My grandmother and I both share a particular liking for Robert Frost's "Stopping by The Woods On A Snowy Evening." And after one of my daily dusk walks, I decided to write a tiny poem about winter, using a magnetic poetry set. I modestly share it with BLR readers: Come with me Through the evening snow soft light cold deep

NOTING POETRY (by Linda Reinfeld) When the pop star Madonna based a song on a few lines of this dramatic lyric by George Herbert (1593-1633), an elegant old classic found a new audience. In the 17th century, "Love" would have been understood as a religious allegory, but I'm not sure religion is what Madonna's fans have in mind. Love bade me welcome: yet my soul drew back, Guilty of dust and sin. But quick-eyed Love, observing me grow slack From my first entrance in, Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning, If I lacked anything. "A guest," I answered, "worthy to be here": Love said, "You shall be he." "I, the unkind, ungrateful? Ah, my dear, I cannot look on thee." Love took my hand, and smiling did reply, "Who made the eyes but I?" "Truth, Lord, but I have marred them; let my shame Go where it doth deserve." "And know you not," says Love, "who bore the blame?" "My dear, then I will serve." "You must sit down," says Love, "and taste my meat." So I did sit and eat. _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ 5. FUN FICTION CRAZY FOR CORNELIA by Chris Gilson Published by Warner Books April 2000 ISBN: 0446525367 $23.95 Reviewed by Terry Mathews

A Cute Cinderella Re-Do If you still believe in fairy tales, you'll enjoy this 90's version of Cinderella. Cornelia Lord, rich beyond belief, is trapped in a life of New York parties and debuts that don't suit her and leave her empty. The persona she shows to an eager publicity-hungry public is quite different than the one she uses in her work at the fledgling Nikola Tesla Museum. After the loss of Cornelia's mother, she and her father, the venerable Chester Lord, become strangers living under the same plush roof. To fill the void left by his wife, Chester worries about making more money and saving his company from a hostile takeover. To ease her pain, Cornelia pulls stunts like splashing around in the fountain at the Plaza and has gained the nickname "Corny the Crazy Deb." Her life is rich fodder for the tabloids. Our modern-day Cinderella story is gender-blind. Instead of a wicked queen, this fairy tale's villain comes in the form of Tucker Fisk, a partner in Chester's firm and a suitor for Cornelia's hand (and money). While seemingly attentive and mindful of the highstrung Cornelia's needs, he is actually more interested in her trust fund and the 25% voting shares of Lord & Company. Enter the Handsome Prince in the form Kevin Doyle, newly hired doorman for Cornelia's apartment building. Kevin and Cornelia's story is a great romp and a fresh twist on an age-old story. I also went out onto the net and found information on

Nikola Tesla. What an interesting man....no wonder the author used him as the focus of Cornelia's interest and energy! Enjoy! _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ 6. AUTHORS CORNER THE REVISION by Dorothy E. Lee Published by Writers Showcase (an imprint of iUniverse.com) Spring 2001 Trade paperback. 416 pages, $19.95. ISBN # 0-595-14890-5. by Dorothy E. Lee Eleanor Elliot awakens to see her name in the obituary column. At first shocked, she finds it difficult to believe her long life is adequately summed up in a few paragraphs. ^ Her mind, in whatever state she existed, began to spin. Reaching for her journals she determined to rewrite the obituary. She would have the last word. ^^ --The Revision, p.x Rewriting means reliving her life and its landmark events, recalling her family and friends and their relationships. Eleanors life spans eight decades of the Twentieth Centurys momentous social change. These changes along with the vagaries of life she faces with characteristic grit. Her husband, her children and her grandchildren become part of the saga as does a continuing friendship and supportive friends and family along the way. Retracing ones life may be painful as well as satisfying. Always it is

interesting as it takes unexpected twists and turns. In time she faces the revision. Given the same chance what would you do? Several continuing themes run through The Revision. One is family and how each generation builds on the others. Another has to do with relationships, both family and friendships. Still another is the importance of education, and particularly reading, as a means to change and improve lives. A fourth is the aging process, impossible to stop. The book allows us to see how Eleanor deals with each. === Dorothy Lee is a retired Professor of Sociology from Illinois State University where she served as both teacher and department chair. She has a doctorate from the University of Iowa. Currently she resides in Illinois and winters in Florida. _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ 7. FICTIONAL FEATS RICHARD'S FEET by Carey Harrison Published by Henry Holt and Company ISBN: 0434313718 Reviewed by Stuart W. Mirsky (Author of The King of Vinland's Saga) Powerful prose and a naively blundering protagonist characterize this vast tale of pre-war hankering and post-war stumbling as Richard Thurgo, a young and reluctant London solicitor, gets sucked into a world which is never quite what it seems. Drawn to the Hamburg region of Germany as a young man, in the nineteen thirties, through the glamorous goings-on of a somewhat mysterious elder brother, the young Thurgo discovers a sense of

comfort in the dark German countryside that he never found at home. Still he manages to stumble about and disgrace himself and lose what he most wants while there. Back in England he tries to make a go of things before and during the years of conflict with Hitler but, when the war is finally won, he finds himself suddenly yanked away again, this time to a world of intrigue on the Mediterranean, courtesy of a dead relative. Smuggling, warcontraband and a case of mistaken identity suddenly give Thurgo a chance at a new life (and, perhaps, to revive what he had before the war) so off he goes to defeated Germany under an assumed identity where his pre-war facility with the German language enables him to pass himself off as a native. There he falls in with all sorts of reckless and feckless fellows, on the margins of coldwar politics, espionage and Hamburg's growing underworld, where he makes a place for himself, though it is never the one he thinks he has made. In the end he rises, more by accident than design, to be a kingpin in that underworld, though he is ever an outsider and a man who gets the signals wrong. This is a tale of losing and finding and losing again, filtered through the clumsy and groping soul of a British expatriate who, for much of the tale, seems to forget he is English. But English he is and the homeland exerts a relentless tidal pull upon him at the end. This Thurgo is a sensitive soul, if lost and awkward in his dealings with others, as clumsy in his relationships with those around him, as he is physically: an overlarge and somewhat uncoordinated fellow whose imposing size stands him in good stead as lieutenant to a Hamburg gangster with a Nazi past. Thurgo, too, slides in and out of the Nazi shadow, abetted at times by unseen hands from home and in the British secret service in the occupied German territories. From youth to aging underworld kingpin, Richard Thurgo

conducts us on his magical mystery tour of a life which is as alien to him at the end as it was at the beginning. He is never clear why he gave up what he had for the German persona he adopted but in the end he cannot hold onto that either, or to any of those whose lives touched his. He is the lost ship which has slipped its moorings, wandering about on the open sea, wind-driven and storm tossed, a man of reflection in a body and world demanding action. And so he is a reluctant actor in that world, an always astute, if perversely unperceptive, observer of the activities around him. This is a big book and one which is filtered through the unreliable eyes of an unreliable spirit but it is rife with insight and recreates a world of new beginnings though these beginnings don't offer solace, in the end, to the soul which sought them. _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ 8. NON-FICTION: PRIVACY DATABASE NATION -The Death Of Privacy In The 21st Century by Simson Garfinkel Paperback, 336 pages, $ 16.95 O'Reilly Publishers, January 2001 ISBN: 0-596-00105-3 http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/dbnationtp/ Reviewed by Michael Pastore May 1, 2001, is a day that will go down in privacy-rights history. Why? On the first of May a New York State Law takes effect which will prohibit telemarketers from calling anyone who is listed on the state's Do Not Call registry. Telemarketers who phone without your permission are subject to a fine of up to 2,000 dollars per individual violation. How could such a sane law come to be passed? ... The FBI determined that telemarketers defraud Americans -primarily senior citizens -- of more than 10 billion dollars per year. And as Simson Garfinkel writes, about privacy protection in general, and the reason that Congress is getting involved::

"That reason, of course, is public outcry. Each year there are more and more cases of identity theft, more cameras in our public places, more universal surveillance by the authorities, and more pervasive monitoring by an insatiable business community" Garfinkel has written a great book about a subject whose time has come: in the past months, the following remarkable stories have jumped to the forefront of the international news: +At the January 2001 Superbowl game, police in Tampa videotaped the faces in the crowd, and out of these 100,000 persons, 19 criminals were identified. +A new anti-graffiti device has been developed that detects the shaking sounds of spray-paint cans, and the smells of fresh paint. When these sounds are perceived, a cage drops down on top of the graffiti artist, and the police are electronically notified. +A town in Australia has placed a tiny surveillance camera -- smaller than a can of beer -- inside the heaping garbage of its town dump, in order to record the faces and license plate numbers of illegal dumpers. +Someone fooled Microsoft's security system and issued fraudulent electronic certificates in Microsoft's name. +In what has been called the greatest dupe in Internet history, a restaurant busboy gained access to credit cards and bank accounts of some of the world's wealthiest persons, including Stephen Spielberg, George Soros, Warren Buffet, Oprah Winfrey, and Ted Turner. The alleged offender -- who operated from a public computer in the Brooklyn library -- was caught only when someone became suspicious over why one of these wealthy moguls wanted to transfer ten million dollars using a Yahoo email address. ==Database Nation== surveys the entire spectrum of problems and issues revolving around personal privacy. The book discusses a myriad of threats to our privacy, including: How small clerical and computer errors can have devastating aftereffects. The increase in surveillance in public places. Inappropriate use of information from medical records The media industry's desire to spy on customers,

to maintain control of their intellectual property. Superintelligent computers which could assemble data about our personality, create personalities for themselves, then deceive us into thinking they are human. Some of the book portends technologies and threats to come, but most of the book is describes problems which pester us right here and now. The book is filled with true-life examples: cases where human lives have been disrupted by privacy abused -- and these stories will chill you to down to your watched-and-recorded bones. Privacy-lovers, take note:==Database Nation== is the most comprehensive, provocative, and well-researched book in print about a topic which has formerly been sealed under lock and key. The author hopes that his book will raise awareness around this issue, the same way that Rachel Carson's ==Silent Spring,== alerted us to catastrophes festering in our natural environment. Garfinkel's Epilogue contains a national privacy policy that should be legalized, and a list of resources for rescuing ourselves from the ==1984==-style Big Brothers who -- thanks to advanced technologies -- now wield more power than George Orwell ever dreamed. _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ 9. NON-FICTION: BRAIN POWER Afterword to Colin Wilson's ==Frankenstein's Castle=== by Michael Pastore [Editors Note: Last week this great book was republished as an ebook. For more details, visit http://www.ColinWilson.com] The work of the greatest thinkers and seers is never grounded in the quicksand of sorrow, futility, despair. Ordinary artists are unreflective mirrors: in them we are shown only the darker shades of existence, humanity at its least creative, most selfish, and most mundane. Yet there is another breed of writers -- Shaw called them the 'artist-philosophers' -- who shine with their own light.

They share their vision of life -- their love and acceptance of life -- that is clear, healthy, radiant, complete. Two of these visionaries, Walt Whitman and Henry Thoreau, continually renewed themselves by living intimately with nature, outdoors in the open air. Their mentor, Ralph Waldo Emerson, in the year 1860 wrote: "Evermore in the world is this marvellous balance of beauty and disgust, magnificence and rats." In the minds of the truly original writers, the rats and disgust never conquer life's beauty and magnificence. Why is it that only a small percentage of our writers have been able to transcend their own pessimism, liberate themselves, and see life steady and whole? Perhaps it is because life is too brief; desires cloud even the best minds; and the finite can never grasp the infinite. As technologies breed more complex technologies, worlds of information multiply unendingly: one individual can never learn enough. It has been written -- incorrectly, I believe -- that the last man to know everything was Goethe. In our time, Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) -who had read every word of the ==Encyclopedia Britannica=== -- had somehow managed to be a jack-of-all intellectual trades. Another versatile thinker was the late Ashley Montagu (1905-1999), whose books are balanced with the latest anthropology and the oldest poems. Regarding authors currently alive and writing -- amidst our era exploding with digital data -- I can think of only one man who is fluent in both kingdoms, the sciences and the arts. That man is the truly

original genius named Colin Wilson. His book Frankenstein's Castle embraces psychology, physiology, phenomenology, literature, and philosophy -- all blended harmoniously with Wilson's personal anecdotes, and profound reflections on his outer experiences and inner states. ==Frankenstein's Castle=== is about our two brains, the left brain as the logical-scientific one, the right brain as the source of our intuition and creativity. Wilson explains how these brains work individually and together; why we spend most of our lives flatly in what Dostoevsky termed "the gray everyday"; and what we might do to engender peak experiences and a higher consciousness. Wilson explains the title in this passage: "The brain is a kind of Frankenstein's Castle, and serotonin [a nerve hormone] is the jailer, who goes around with the keys at his belt, able to unlock hidden rooms and release their 'unconscious' occupants." Wilson rejects drugs as a solution to altering consciousness, because they leave us in a lotusland, unable to care for ourselves and others, and helpless to protect ourselves (and our loved ones) from the dangers of the modern world. There is more to the monstrous metaphor. In Mary Shelley's novel ==Frankenstein,=== the monster -- in a remarkable surge of self-awareness -- challenges the doctor with these defiant words: ^ "You are in the wrong," replied the fiend; "and instead of threatening,

I am content to reason with you. I am malicious because I am miserable. Am I not shunned and hated by all mankind? You, my creator, would tear me to pieces and triumph; remember that, and tell me why I should pity man more than he pities me? You would not call it murder if you could precipitate me into one of those ice-rifts and destroy my frame, the work of your own hands. Shall I respect man when he condemns me? Let him live with me in the interchange of kindness, and instead of injury I would bestow every benefit upon him with tears of gratitude at his acceptance. But that cannot be; the human senses are insurmountable barriers to our union. Yet mine shall not be the submission of abject slavery. I will revenge my injuries; if I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear, and chiefly towards you my archenemy, because my creator, do I swear inextinguishable hatred. Have a care; I will work at your destruction, nor finish until I desolate your heart, so that you shall curse the hour of your birth." ^^ Some have seen the monster as a symbol of technology; but could the beast also represent the furious powers within our own selves? The mind is our worst nemesis and our greatest ally. In ==Frankenstein's Castle,=== Colin Wilson shows us why most of us are miserable, and how we can coordinate our brains' powers to become whole and to renew our joy. This marvelous book -like a long vacation in a naturally beautiful place -- will re-energize its readers and expand our habit-burdened minds. _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ 10.
