No reader will come away hungry from the five-course meal of Francisco Goldman's inventive third novel, The Divine Husband. Set in Central America and New York in the late 19th Century, this is the story of Maria de las Nieves Moran, a clever, strong-willed girl of mixed heritage--half Irish-American, half Mayan Indian. In childhood, she and her closest friend, Paquita, discovered the pleasures of making themselves sneeze with fibers of wool extracted from their clothing. When Paquita, at age 12, began to return the attentions of a rapacious Liberal reformer nicknamed El Anticristo, Maria de las Nieves made Paquita swear not to surrender her virginity before she did. Immediately, the scheming Maria de las Nieves announced her vocation, and joined a convent. Goldman's concentrated prose is leavened with eccentric, often brilliant metaphors (the spread of a rumor is described as "a hemispheric cloud of pigeons looking for statues to land on"), calling to mind the great magical realist writers--Grass, Kundera, Garcia Marquez--and ensuring that not a word is wasted on flat exposition. --Regina Marler

Book Description

One of the most talented and award-winning writers of his generation, Francisco Goldman’s third novel, The Divine Husband, appeared to wide and rapturous acclaim. Beginning with a single, possibly scandalous love poem by Jose Marti, Cuba’s greatest revolutionary-poet-hero with an infamous secret love life, The Divine Husband is the story of Maria de las Nieves Moran, a former nun forced out of her convent by a revolution in a Central American capital. While making her way in this metropolis nicknamed “The Little Paris,” she enrolls in a writing class taught by Jose Marti, under whose spell Maria de las Nieves and her classmates quickly fall. Soon after, Maria de las Nieves flees her home for New York, where Marti has also relocated -- a crucial interval that shaped Marti’s consciousness. Nearly a century later, an elderly woman in Massachusetts hires a college student to investigate her claim that she is the illegitimate offspring of Marti and Maria de las Nieves. Mixing a lovingly re-created historical past with often hilarious, ironic, and moving conjecture that brings to life an unforgettable heroine and her remarkable collection of friends, nemeses, and rival suitors, The Divine Husband is a magnificent American novel.

1 out of 5 stars Dumping the Divine dullness.......2007-08-25

I've made it to page 46 and that's it. I just can't justify spending any more time with this detail heavy tale.

4 out of 5 stars Three and a half stars.......2006-08-09

Francisco Goldman's THE DIVINE HUSBAND is an epic novel set in an unnamed Central American republic in the late 19th century. The protagonist is Maria de las Nieves, a teenaged novice nun forced out of the convent when anti-clerical revolutionaries ban the religious orders. Her subsequent life as a young woman trying to scratch out an independent living as a translator is narrated in part through the point of view of the men who are fascinated with her--until she has a child out of wedlock and refuses to name the father.

Like the previous reviewer, I was thoroughly enchanted with the first three quarters of the book. The writing is absolutely vivid and beautiful, wonderfully researched and full of quirky characters and dashes of magical realism, such a nuns who can bi-locate and be in two places at once.

However, after much build up, we finally learn the story of Maria's secret love affair with the young "Mosquito King," and this is the least convincing part of the book. Everything that happens afterward seems clumsy and anti-climactic. The author seems to lose focus at the end of the book, spending more time describing the life of Jose Marti, exiled Cuban poet, than fully developing Maria's story.

However, it still gets three and a half stars because the beginning and middle of the book are so strong.

-Mary Sharratt, author of The Vanishing Point

2 out of 5 stars The Literary Equivalent of a Mugging.......2006-01-09

Wow - what an extremely frustrating novel. On the one hand, for the first three quarters of the book, I thought it was absolutely delightful. Goldman's an excellent writer, is able to evoke the world he's writing about, and mixes both the comic and tragic elements masterfully. And then, about seventy pages before the end, it all goes off the rails.

The mystery which most of the book has been building up to is resolved with an unlikely deus ex machina. The heroine and her supporting cast start acting strange and uncharacteristicly. And the last chapters make an awkward, poorly written shift from the third person point of view to the first.

Really, as much as I liked Goldman's first two books, I can't recommend The Divine Husband at all. It should have been longer or it should have been rewritten one more time or whatever. Let's hope the next one is better...

1 out of 5 stars The Divine Bore.......2005-02-11

The historical details in this book are quite interesting. Other than that, the book is excruciatingly dull. Though Maria (the main character) is supposed to be a sort of rebellious femenist character, her actions don't really back up that facade. In addition, it takes so long for the action to develop that even after a hundred pages, I still could find nothing in the book that grabbed me. In general, most of the characters are flat, one-dimetional and rather unlikable. Their motivations are unclear and murky; Maria makes a pact with her friend Paquita that stipulates that Paquita cannot lose her virginity until Maria loses hers, principally because Maria cannot abide Paquita's much older, revolutionary fiance. Maria intends to thwart the union by becoming a nun. Ridiculous? Yes, especially because the religious faith of the girls seems to be quite superficial (and of course, the plan does not work). Although it sounds silly, I really wanted to like this book (...mostly because the quality of the paper is so nice and the cover is quite attractive!)However, for someone who enjoys everything from Krantz to Thackeray to Rushdie, I was quite shocked that there was a dearth of qualities that I could enjoy in this book.

4 out of 5 stars An excellent choice for any comic book fan........2003-04-24

I was first introduced in RoLW a while back, from the OVA which aired a few times. I was able to get ahold of the DVs, and most recently wondered if I could find the original comics. I bought not ontl this one, bu the entire repring of the Grey Witch Series. I started to get worried because nowhere in the Review did it say if these books were in English! But they were! Things happen a bit differently in the comics, which is always nice to see what was changed for the movie, to compare and contrast.

The only thing that prevents this from being a 5 is th lack of color, but I'm not complaining about anything else

5 out of 5 stars A classic fantasy tale!.......2003-01-24

I am not a fanatic about Anime and Manga but I do know my way around some of it. I loved Lodoss War from the start and probably watched the episodes numerous times each. The second OVA was great as well but I wanted to get more into where this story came from so I picked up the Manga. It was definately worth it. The artwork is superb and the story is well done. If you are a fan of the series check these out cause it is very interesting to see how much the story evolved for the films. This series is rather short only 3 volumes but they are good reads and I highly recomend them to any Anime fan.

5 out of 5 stars World going wrong? Hit control-C.......2002-08-15

James P. Hogan is one of my two favorite living SF writers and the only one of the two who writes "hard" SF (the other one is Spider Robinson). I've been reading his stuff since the late 1970s and I think this novel is one of his best.

The premise, of course, is that virtual reality has reached such an advanced stage of development that it's not easy to distinguish the "virtual" from the "real"; the essential plot element is that Joe Corrigan is trapped inside a simulation he helped to create. The reader knows all of this from the beginning, but for obvious reasons (and some that are not so obvious) it takes the protagonist a while to work it out.

That's where much of the tension in the novel comes from. It's so clear to the reader what's going on that you'll want to reach into the page and say, "Joe, man, wake up and _think_. Don't you _know_ where you are?" This effect is heightened by a couple of really really obvious details that you'll almost physically itch for Joe to notice.

But much of what makes the story _interesting_ is the extremely plausible tale Hogan tells about the development of the technology itself. Hogan does this sort of thing better than nearly any other SF writer past or present, and this novel is no exception; indeed, when virtual reality really does reach this level of development, it may well have gotten there by roughly the path Hogan describes.

Anyway, I can't tell you much else without spoiling the story. All I can do is mention in a general way that, as usual with Hogan, the story is full of mind-blowingly cool touches.

But speaking of spoilers, here's a warning: just inside the front cover, the current edition includes an excerpt that you probably shouldn't read before you read the book. Somebody made a bad editorial decision here: the excerpt comes from near the _end_ of the book and it gives some things away too early.

Hogan is all-but-unarguably the finest writer of "hard" SF today. Start here or start somewhere else -- but if you like good SF, start somewhere.

5 out of 5 stars Unable to put the Book down! Read it all in 1 sitting!.......2001-03-09

Well this a perfect book for all you folks out there waiting for another Snow Crash. This is just the kind of Book I love. It's cyberpunk at it's finest. Believeable but just slightly ahead in tech. Perfect book, great price. Buy it...you won't go wrong. It is a VERY good book for anyone looking for a good computer Virtual Reality adventure. EJ

3 out of 5 stars An O.K. Hard Science Fiction Story.......2001-03-09

Mr. Hogan always does a good job with the science in his novels, but this one just wasn't a very interesting story. It's an enjoyable enough read, but it's not one I'll ever read again. Mr. Hoagn has written several novels that I've read 3 or 4 times, this just won't be one of them.

In this story Joe Corrigan finds himslef a misfit/outcast in a humorless world filled with identity-less humans. Eventually he realizes that he is inside a computer-simulated world that he helped create. He spends the rest of the novel trying to figure out what went wrong, can he leave, and should he leave. He finally solves the puzzle at the end of the novel, but the problem and the key/solution were obvious even before the author revealed that it was a simulation.

If you have a lot of time on your hands, then go ahead and get the book. But if you only have time to read a certain number of books this month, skip this one. (Sorry Mr. Hogan)

4 out of 5 stars Hogan pulls it through again.......2000-12-27

This is another one of those novels that make me wish that Amazon used a slightly more flexible rating system. To me a three star rating means that the book is either free of significant faults but fails to excel or excels in some way but contains significant faults. On the other hand I believe a rating of four stars indicates that the book is both free of significant faults AND excels in some way. This novel transcends this rating scale and does not fit. I do think that this book contains significant faults, which I will explore further, but I also believe it excels in certain areas far higher then any average book does. For this reason I rate the book four stars.

Realtime Interrupt by James Patrick Hogan is an exploratory novel. What I mean by exploratory is that the novel explores human reaction to stress events that don't exist today. The topic of exploration in this novel is virtual reality and to a limited extent artificial intelligence. I know what some of you may be thinking. Virtual Reality exists today. Well, virtual reality most certainly does not exist in the way in which it is shown in this tale. The story follows one persons story in several stages of the virtual reality experience, creation, testing and moral questioning. There are several other well-defined characters included but they are in the story in as much as they impact or are impacted by the primary character. I really can't go too much further into the story without ruining some rather clever plot twists.

The novel excels in its painting of the primary characters personal growth. The book also does an excellent job of painting a realistic picture of the science involved. This is always a strong aspect of Hogan stories.

The weakest part of the book, in my opinion, is the ancillary stories that surround the primary character and his tale. The book seemed at times bogged down by detail, which was necessary but perhaps served up a tad awkwardly.

All faults aside this book was a great read. This is one of those novels, which you read and you keep reading even if it meanders a bit on the way because you absolutely must read the conclusion. In many way it reminds me of Lost Boys by Orson Scott Card in that respect.

A great read and a book I can recommend to virtually anyone.

4 out of 5 stars Standard Hogan.......2000-12-15

Realtime Interrupt is very much a typical James Hogan novel. His standard formula has been to take a technology that may be reachable in the near future, find a beliveable way to achieve it, and wrap a novel with interesting people and plot around the concept.

Realtime Interrupt tackles two problems at once, artificial intelligence, long a favorite subject of Hogan's, and virtual reality. Certain things, such as the fact that the world Joe wakes up in at the beginning is an artificial world, are made plain from the start, even if he takes a while to discover it. As such, it does echo some of the themes of The Matrix, but without the gunfights and (bleah) goth elements. In many ways this book is "anti-cyberpunk," with a lot of the themes and ideas in a "normal" world instead of a corporate-trash ridden dystopia.

As usual, the technology is fascinating, the characters are engaging, even they are not the most well rounded, the plot moves at a brisk, even pace, and the world (in this case Pittsburgh and Ireland) feels natural. Despite not having any real plot *twists*, it never quite went in the direction I was expecting, either. Joe is not the typical Hogan hero, having immersed himself in the world of political infighting before settling down in a more sedate role. Realtime Interrupt is a good book for anyone with an interest in technology and a nice understated yarn.

    Not only did the Tooth Fairy bless me with a sweet tooth - she gave me a whole mouth full! And I share my favorite "common folk" healthy desserts in this collection.

    I have to say Joanne Lund, has really come up with a great solution to people who want to eat healthy but can't quite let go of thier sweet tooth. This book is packed with delicious recipies for cookies, pies, cakes, brownies and many other choices. Each recipe is an absoule "sweet nothing" pun intended! Low calorie, low fat, and high taste. You your family and friends will never miss what is missing the un healthy fat and calories. Enjoy.

    The recipes looked like they would be sweet. It was a little disappointing that a majority of the recipes were made from other processed foods. There appeared to be quite a number of Jell-O based recipes. This is not a book for those who are looking for the use of Health foods as a natural alternative.
