3 out of 5 stars Faulkner's curiously detached portrait of New Orleans and barnstormers.......2006-12-29

Set in New Orleans (referred to as New Valois in the story), "Pylon" is a rare Faulkner work that takes place outside Mississippi. In it, an unnamed, down-on-his-luck reporter follows a small crew of barnstormers in town for an air show and is smitten by the tomboyish mechanic Laverne, who is involved in a menage a trois with the pilot and the parachute jumper. Their outmoded, ramshackle plane is held together by not much more than memory, and the pilot often has to take death-defying risks in order to win competitions for their hand-to-mouth income.

Complicating their hard existence is a fourth crew member, Jiggs, who suffers from unpredictable and terrifyingly deleterious alcohol binges. The reporter's well-meaning sociability starts Jiggs on an especially noteworthy bout of drinking and sets off a serious of events with tragic consequences.

The novel contains some of the most harrowing passages of drunkenness ever composed in English. The reporter acquires a "special" bottle of absinth (which is probably just really some bad moonshine) and ends up locking himself out of his apartment in a nightmarish sequence of blurry events. Then Jiggs starts on his bender and becomes consumed with the acquisition of just one more drink. Faulkner knows drunk: these Dantesque passages are as disturbing as anything offered later by Burroughs or by Philip K. Dick.

Less real and persuasive, however, are Faulkner's portraits of New Orleans and of the barnstormers themselves. Faulkner detested the city and especially the vulgarity of Mardi gras, and his distaste infuses his descriptions with the stance of a critical bystander rather than (as in his other works) the awareness of an understanding resident. Similarly, Faulkner spent the years 1933 and 1934 flying and participating in air shows (they were even billed as "William Faulkner's Air Circus"), and the members of the crew are based on real-life counterparts, but the novel's characters feel researched rather than lived. It's clear he both loves flying and sympathizes with the hard lives of the barnstormers, but the close-woven prose seems almost in conflict with the journalistic stance of the narrative.

Reminiscent at times of "Sanctuary" (particularly of the terrifying sections describing Temple Drake's horrifying captivity among the whiskey-runners at the Goodwin place), "Pylon" contains many memorable passages on drunken, confused, despairing lives--and these passages rescue the novel from its seemingly misplaced realism. "Pylon" is less than the sum of its parts--but some of those parts are still undeniably and uniquely Faulkner.

5 out of 5 stars Unconditional.......2006-07-22

I have no excuses to give for this book. Don't read it if you don't want to. Don't read it if you want literature. Don't read it if you want prurient prose (despite the other reviewers' references to sex, there is little to find in it). Don't read it if you want Faulkner. Don't read it if you want style, or flow, or popular fiction, or innovation, or a book about racing planes, or New Orleans. Don't read it if you want a good book at all.

But if you do read it, you may find something that anchors you in the heart of the imperfect as no better work can do, a failed book about failure failed, and love it as no better love could.

2 out of 5 stars Never gets off the ground.......2006-06-20

"Pylon" is the story of a newpaper reporter's fascination (or obsession) with a menage a trois in a flying team operating in the deep South, racing planes for cash prizes. The attraction is the openness of the pilot's relationship with Laverne and hers with the fellow team member, the "jumper" or parachutist. There is child, but which of the men is the father is not known. The dangers of the sport and the immorality of the relationships draw the attention of the reporter.

This is a strange, disjointed novel, very lumpy in which Faulkner's portentious, over-written prose often overloads both the over-stretched plot and weakly-drawn characters. Frequent globs of indigestible writing weigh down the novel.Given this background, there's little surprise in the fact that this is one of Faulkner's lesser-known efforts.

2 out of 5 stars For completists only.......2005-11-21

Unless you have to read everything Faulkner wrote, save your time here. It's better than Soldier's Pay, Mosquitoes, and Sanctuary, but that isn't much to aspire to. Here and there an interesting thought comes up, but if you're short on time or energy, spend it working through Absalom, Absalom! That will save your soul. You can listen to Jagger sing Parachute Woman and get the same material in a better medium. Pylon, however, is a good word.

2 out of 5 stars Possibly Faulkner's Worst Novel Ever.......2005-10-13

Virtually unreadable, and really not worth the effort. Certainly that designation has been applied to the entire oeuvre of this, America's poet laureate of the South, but this novel at least lends some strength to that criticism. This is Faulkner at his worst, employing his obfuscatory style to hide the fact that he has very little to say. The plot revolves around a down-and-out newspaper reporter who shows up to cover a traveling air show in the sleepy fictional southern town of New Valois in the early 20th Century. He finds himself drawn into the personal lives of a family of barnstormers (two husbands, one wife, and one son), and plenty of hard drinking, brawling and barnstorming ensues. Faulkner was always fascinated by airplanes, and readers who are old enough to remember those halcyon days might find this a fascinating reminiscence of a somewhat sordid era in aviation history. But ultimately, this story is about the culture clash between the reporter, who cares about people too much, and the aviators, who care only about the amazing machines that they daily risk their lives in. Sadly, this man vs. machine conflict is badly dated, even by 20th Century standards, and doesn't fully succeed on any level.

Of course one has to admire the sheer technical mastery of Faulkner's writing, but much of the real emotional power of his work usually comes from his use of archetypes: the Earth Mother, the Mighty Hunter, the Soulless Businessman, the Righteously Angry Negro, the Guileless Innocent, etc.., and these archetypes not only make the story more significant - mythic, even - but they often help guide us through the complexities of the plot. In this novel the characters seem not only very specific, but very small; they are neither familiar nor important. Careful readers may be able to follow the plot of this novel, but there seems little enough impetus to bother doing so. We care less about this particular group of losers than any such in Faulkner. So while this drunken tale of planes, money and desire may find favor with completists, the rest of us would do better to get our Faulkner fix by re-reading one of his magnificent Yoknapatawpha County classics.

Book Description

The bestselling author of the acclaimed Merlin Trilogy returns to the magical world of King Arthur and Camelot--to tell a story of daring adventure, unexpected love, and unsurpassed enchantment. . . .



ALEXANDER THE FATHERLESS

Eager, burning, and young, Alexander has come of age to take vengeance on the treacherous King of Cornwall who murdered his father. He sets off toward Camelot to seek justice from King Arthur, only to be diverted by the beautiful and sensual Morgan le Fay, Arthur's sister. Using her wiles and her enchantments, Morgan persuades the young prince to attempt a theft of the Holy Grail. He is unaware her motives are of the darkest nature. . . .



ALICE THE PRETTY PILGRIM

Motherless daughter of a royal duke, Alice has lived a life of lively adventure, accompanying her father on his yearly pilgrimages. Now, on her father's final visit to Jerusalem, she comes under the protection of a young prince whose brothers were murdered, a prince who is in possession of an enchanted silver cup believed to be the mysterious Holy Grail itself.



Thus the stage is set for two young seekers to meet--and to find not what they are searching for but, instead, the greatest treasure of all . . . love.



"A wonderful love story set in the magical times of King Arthur and Camelot."

--Oklahoman

2 out of 5 stars A well written, if not passionate, book........2006-06-08

Although this book is quite well written, with a satisfactory craftmanship of words, I must say that I was not particularly excited about this novel. It held my interest fairly well, but I didn't feel the flood of emotions truly good books always bring me. I liked the way both Alexander and Alice have, in their way, their own seperate sections, like how it explained their youth, but I didn't really enjoy how they didn't meet until close to the end of the book. It seemed short and fake when Alexander proclaimed his love to Alice, and lacked the ability to set my heart thumping and my eyes watering as a passionate romance novel may have. Since it was obvious how the book would end, I didn't feel the suspense or intrigue I expected. Although it may have its faults, it was not a completely bad book, and in the end, I would dub it "okay".

4 out of 5 stars GREAT BOOK!!.......2006-04-22

i have to disagree with those who have said this book is poor, unadventurous, etc. this book is wonderful!!! Mary stewart has done a phenomenal job in writing this book. the two main characters are alexander and alice. one is a prince with a lost kingdom, the other a pilgrim waiting for marriage. this book tells the adventures that both go on, whether to the dark tower of morgan le fay or to Jerusalum, the Holy Land. this book is excellent, i can't wait to read it again!!

3 out of 5 stars Somewhat entertaining - not much substance.......2005-03-18

I would have given this book only 2 stars except for the fact that I enjoy Arthurian type stories and this was one I found previously untold (shy of Malory's book). Stewart tells the story of Alexander the Fatherless and the Pretty Pilgrim Alice. However, the interesting story the book cover promised of Morgan Le Fey persuading Alexander to try and steal the Holy Grail just never developed. Oh, Morgan is in the story, but the author seems to give up on that plot very quickly and then wraps the story up quickly and neatly with little drama or suspense. The Grail itself barely gets mentioned until the end of the book and then the author invokes a philosophy of the Grail that she later notes came from a personal friend and not from legend or lore. Stewart also introduces the Merovingian kings of Gaul into the story but again - the drama and excitement of the four brothers battling for control of the entire kingdom is sorely lacking. Instead, she wraps it all up in a puts the storyline to bed without really taking advantage of the twists and turns that it could have provided. So, why three stars for a story I obviously found sugar-coated, far from any historical possibiity and not even exciting enough to rouse Arthur from his throne in the story??? It's a new tale of the Arthurian time period that I had not discovered before outside of Malory. The book makes somewhat entertaining reading -especially if you like romance and lack of thought provoking substance. It's sweet and simple and an easy read. I found her historical notes at the end of the book to be the best part of the entire work.

3 out of 5 stars Prince.......2003-06-23

Although not quite as interesting as the Merlin series, Prince and the Pilgram was entertaining and a worthwhile read.

2 out of 5 stars A Weak Plant From a Potent Seed.......2000-07-19

Stories involving King Arthur and sundry acts of chivalrous derring 'do have always entertained me, so I was heartily disappointed in Stewart's novel, a return to the world of her Merlyn trilogy. Honestly, it seems like she simply ran out of gas or out of time. The novel sets up nicely, with two different plot threads that promise an epic resolution. Instead, the two main characters miraculously meet, fall in love and save the day, all in the space of about 90 pages. You know you are in trouble when you are reading a novel about the holy grail and one of the characters scoffs that it isn't the real holy grail, all the other characters agree, and everyone moves on. Yikes! I think Merlyn is rolling over in his crystal cave.

                  INCAL is a science fiction romp, full of metaphysical elements, fast plots, and bizarre characters. It has been likened to Frank Herbert's DUNE in terms of "soft" sci-fi. World audiences might understand the aesthetic from the film THE FIFTH ELEMENT, which similarly merges metaphysics and a sci-fi future. It is a particular subgenre of science ficiton, and INCAL stands as a major work in the genre -- if not in all of comics.

                  This is the first volume in the new DC Comics edition of the classic French science fiction graphic novel published by Humanoids. Be aware that Humanoids used to offer their own volumes in English, and they're still floating around -- and searchable on Amazon. The Humanoids editions are in normal American comics proportions (leaving white space on the bottom of the page) and are on better paper, whereas the DC editions are on cheaper paper and in slightly different proportions, mirroring those of the French original.

                  If you've been interested in French comics or Moebius over the years, you've probably heard of INCAL. It was tremendously successful, spawning a prequel and a sequel. Two other series spring out from INCAL: METABARONS and TECHNOPRIESTS. All are written by Alexandro Jodorowsky, though the artists vary.

                  METABARONS has proven more popular, at least in the states. And, reading INCAL today, it doesn't seem as shockingly new as it must have when it was published. Moebius, while a master, was not yet at the top of his game. But INCAL remains enjoyable: it helps you forge new neural connections.

                  Read it.

                  Missionaries should learn and understand culture of the people to whom they want to preach the gospel. I agree with Hiebert that without all that knowledge their message may be irrelevant and meaningless in cultural enviroment that is different from the cultural background of missionaries, especially if they came from the West. Missionaries must be tolerant for other cultures and keep interest in their own ways of being and believing, but they must resent the popular concept of cultural relativism. Christian missionaries may lost the meaning of the gospel and ministry if they only reflect the culture of people around them or ignore the native culture.
                  Hiebert accents that the preaching of gospel may reflect the background of missionaries but he in his book helps to avoid trap of culture shock, how to make bridges between cultures, and lay good foundation for native Christian churches. Especially interesting is Hiebert's analisis of trends what will and may happen in the new native Christian church later after three and four generations.
                  I recommend this book not only for missionaries but also for pastors and gospel workers.

                  1 out of 5 stars Anthropological insights are not for missionaries.......2005-05-27

                  This is a terrible book with a terrible message: that you should use the understanding of other cultures in order to infiltrate and change them. That is NOT the message of anthropology. As an anthropologist, I resent this book profoundly. Anthropology is based on tolerance for other cultures, interest in their own ways of being and believing, and the concept of cultural relativism--that a culture's values and morals can only be understood in their own terms. The one thing we do NOT do is try to impose our own "truths" on others. If missionaries want to learn what anthropology really is, then read an anthropology book. But this text merely steals from anthropology in the most primitive way and turns that stolen material into the guidelines for cultural judgment, invasion, and destruction. It is arrogant and misguided.

                  This is a good reference book for missionaries who are going overseas. It helps you understand different cultures around the world. It is a good read for those who do not understand other cultures and want to get a good grasp on why people do what they do. It introduces you to various ways of life many of which I had never heard before. This book is academic, not light reading.

                  While living in the Middle East I did a survey among missionaries living in a muslim environment, asking them what book had been most helpful in their preparations before coming over. This book was mentioned many times and had a great impact in their lives! As a teacher in a mission department of a christian seminary this book is a must for all students who consider going into missions. The book gives very good insights on the problem of cultural differences and shows clearly how your own faith has been effected by your culture. It also gives a very good model of contextualization which is applicable in all times and places. The examples Hiebert gives are practical and illustrate well the points he wants to make and make the book lively and accessible. Just read it!

                  3 out of 5 stars cookbooks.......2007-03-26

                  Recipies sound good. But no pixs. I like pixs so good you can almost smell the food.

                  5 out of 5 stars One Dish Meals.......2007-03-09

                  Very easy to follow. All the recipes I have tried have been very tasty. Easy cleanup with one pan. Would recommend this book to anyone especially working women with little time to spare.

                  4 out of 5 stars No Photographs.......2007-02-03

                  I'm giving this a 4-star because the recipes looked good and easy. However, I returned this book because it didn't contain any photographs. I know it sounds silly, but I find that having a photo of each meal helps to inspire me when meal-planning.

                  5 out of 5 stars Great cookbook for someone wanting easy recipes.......2006-08-01

                  For me, this is a perfect cookbook. I don't have a lot of room in my kitchen. I want meals I can cook quickly. The recipes is food that you pretty much throw together in a hurry. Even the more intricate recipes are easy. These are the kind of meals that women cooked in the 50s, '60s and '70s before the Food Network got middle America women (and yes men too) wanting to be gourmet chefs. If I had the time and especially the room, it would be fun to try more elaborate dishes. But for people who want something more than frozen meals, this is a great cookbook.

                  This is a great cookbook. I've tried several of the dishes, and they have all been good. I just made the swordfish piccata, and it was really yummy! There's a good variety, and even people who aren't big fish fans can find something they will like. The directions are clear and simple to follow, and the receipes are all easy to prepare.

                      I picked up Tuesday is Chicken a few years ago, and I've been using it all the time since. In fact, I loved it so much that I went out and bought the rest of the series!

                      Dozens of great recipes, straight forward instructions, and almost no exotic ingredients. Favorite recipe? Pepper-Pecan chicken, by far.

                      4 out of 5 stars Chicken every way you'll like.......2002-03-18

                      A very useful cookbook with lots of interesting recipes. And it lives up to the series title of "Everyday Cookbooks." Most of the recipes are uncomplicated & many use ingredients you probably have on hand. My only problem with it is that it doesn't index the recipes by chicken part -- that is, you can't quickly look up recipes for boneless chicken breasts or for whole chickens, for example, but have to browse through the book to find them. But I still find myself using this cookbook alot!

                        1 out of 5 stars Not what I had in mind.......2007-09-05

                        I bought this book for more meal ideas, and since buying it, it has done nothing more than collect dust on my shelf. There are no pictures in the book, and the 3 recipies that I did try out of it, came out horrible. Many of the ingredients are expensive or hard to find, and most kids won't even look at anything in the book as appetizing.
                        I do not recommend this book to anyone.

                        5 out of 5 stars Everyday Should be Spaghetti.......2003-01-28

                        This is a great book at a great price. There are tons of recipes included, which are conveniently separated into sections based on the type of meat they include, if any. I've used this book to cook meals for my wife and my relatives. This book even had my mother asking me for recipes. It's a great book for any pasta lover, as well as a great gift. You should also check out the other books by this author, which cover the rest of the week.

                          5 out of 5 stars A real inspriation.......2004-02-11

                          That's what this book is for any dollhouse collector. If it is true that dollhouses are addictive and you can't have just one, Vivian Greene lives up to that ideal. Her rescue of antique dollhouses from the dustbins of Britain sparked a dollhouse revival that spread to the US and around the world. Yet the book is not full of the grandious rooms of Queen Mary's Dollhouse or Colleen Moore's. It is full of objects and ideas that are well within the reach of the serious and even not so serious collector, as well as period design authentic to each era. Mrs. Greene's dollhouse collection begins with a 17th century dollhouse and continues up to when dollhouses began to be commercially produced. Each is a one of a kind historical artifact. This is my favorite dollhouse book bar none.
