I love the dialogue of his characters, especially that of the young girl in Little Otik, Al\u017eb\u011btka, who is perfectly vulgar. \u2014<strong>Natalie Jacoby<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have been enjoying William Trevor\u2019s <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Selected-Stories-William-Trevor\/dp\/0670022063\">Selected Stories<\/a><\/em> for that moment of calm at the end of each day. I\u2019m about a quarter way through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2010\/11\/28\/books\/review\/McGrath-t.html\">the enormous book<\/a>, but my favorite story is still the first, \u201cThe Piano Tuner\u2019s Wives.\u201d It begins: \u201cViolet married the piano tuner when he was a young man. Belle married him when he was old. There was a little more to it than that, because in choosing Violet to be his wife the piano tuner had rejected Belle, which was something everyone remembered when the second wedding was announced.\u201d \u2014<strong>Thessaly La Force<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more-->It might not happen often, but it\u2019s always good to agree with Christopher Hitchens when it comes to a matter of enormous diplomatic consequence: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slate.com\/id\/2279601\/\">making the perfect cup of tea<\/a>. Hitchens has some stern words about the American interpretation of the Great British cuppa. But as is ever the case with The Hitch, there\u2019s a subtext. Replete with digs at Jimmy Carter, John Lennon (\u2018a turncoat to more than a century of sturdy Liverpool tradition\u2019) and Yoko Ono, this polemical recipe takes its cues from George Orwell\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.booksatoz.com\/witsend\/tea\/orwell.htm\">own piece on the subject<\/a> and serves as a gently irreverent tribute from one great journalist to another. \u2014<strong>Jonathan Gharraie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For the fourth time, I read Akhil Sharma\u2019s short story, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/past\/docs\/issues\/97jan\/9701fict\/sharma.htm\">Cosmopolitan<\/a>.\u201d At this point, I can recite Sharma\u2019s lines from memory, but he still catches me off guard with his terse and emotional writing: \u201cAt some point, in a burst of self-hate, Gopal moved his clothes from the bedroom closet to a corner of the living room, wanting to avoid comforting himself with any illusions that his life was normal.\u201d \u2014<strong>Sam Dolph<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I sometimes tune out when people attempt to justify art\u2014poetry in particular\u2014in terms of anything other than itself. But with <em><a href=\"http:\/\/search.barnesandnoble.com\/A-Human-Eye\/Adrienne-Rich\/e\/9780393070064\">The Human Eye: Essays<\/a><\/em>, Adrienne Rich uses her considerable insight into the craft of writing as a starting point for intense thought about how and when to empathize, protest, engage, and serve. Warning us against \u201cthe reification of poetry, whether as iconic or irrelevant,\u201d she quotes Muriel Rukeyser: \u201cA poem is not its words or its images, any more than a symphony is its notes or a river its drops of water. Poetry depends on the moving relations within itself \u2026 expressing the moving relation between the individual consciousness and the world. The work that a poem does is transfer of human energy, and I think human energy may be defined as consciousness, the capacity to make change in existing conditions.\u201d Rich\u2019s call to action transcends the political, and she is, as usual, both credible and inspired. \u2014<strong>Kate Waldman<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the break I read what is now my very favorite Trollope novel, and the one I was saddest to finish: Framley Parsonage.
