Cleaving by Julie Powell, author of the inspiration for a blockbuster movie Julia & Julie, is a memoir of a cook who becomes fascinated with butchery and her path to become a butcher. My Year of Meats, while a work of fiction, chronicles a year in the life of a young filmmaker who has been hired by beef lobbyists to create a series of television documentaries to be shown in Japan.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">As a long-time dedicated vegetarian, meat is not a topic on which I am particularly fluent or even interested. My Year of Meats by Ruth L. Ozeki came my way a few years </span><span style="font-family:arial;">back when it <span style="font-family:arial;">was </span> recommended<span style="font-family:arial;"> by a local bookseller</span><span style="font-family:arial;">.

While the later might now sound enticing, the author manages to craft an </span><span style="font-family:arial;">entertaining and unique story. One reviewer said that this is a book that even a vegetarian could enjoy...and they were right.<br /><br />Cleaving: A story of marriage, meat and obsession by Julie Powell is a much different story. Why it was intriguing I am still at a loss to articulate. Parts are a bit gross and descriptions of separating meat from sinew and bone were not enthralling and often difficult but for some yet to be discovered reason, I liked this one and am glad that I don't read the reviews, even though they were in part correct, until after I finish.

The entire world has been infected by a lab created virus. Originally developed to create super soldiers out of condemned criminals the experiment made them into monsters with the capability to infect and spread their disease throughout the population. These "virals" have reduced the world's population to a few small scattered enclaves of healthy humans who struggle to live off the land but with resources are running out have to seek other solutions. This must be done while avoiding the the virals who are very similar to vampires in that they are sensitive to light, infect humans by biting them on the neck and are capable of a degree of mind control. Ultimately the survival of mankind rests on the shoulders a six-year-old girl who will have to face the enemy in a battle of wills to determine the fate of the humans.<br /><br />An unusual take on vampires is a perfect read for Halloween weekend--spooky enough to make you want to keep the lights on and suspenseful enough to keep you reading. Since the current weather forecast is for rain, this one is also a good reason to stay inside curled up with a good story.<br /></span>Theresa, Children's Librarianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05906887163370370696noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-644836580408797480.post-68628303200569456702010-10-28T10:55:00.000-07:002010-10-28T15:09:33.269-07:00LA as Subject Archives Bazaar Follow-Up<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.laassubject.org/index.php/archives_bazaar" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gs9G6V8uwGM/TMncGfr_ahI/AAAAAAAAAM4/N4H7bNeZK4c/s400/USCBazaar.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533195621344700946" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">(Photo courtesy USC Libraries/ Marius Constantin)</span></span><br /><br /></div>The (new and improved!) <a href="http://www.laassubject.org/index.php" target="_blank">LA as Subject website</a> has posted a <a href="http://www.laassubject.org/index.php/archives_bazaar" target="_blank">slideshow</a> and <a href="http://www.laassubject.org/index.php/articles/detail/article_the_city_in_the_library" target="_blank">feature article</a> from last Sunday's Archives Bazaar, held at the beautiful Doheny Library on the USC campus.<br /><br />Roughly 80 exhibitors, including the Glendale Public Library's <a href="http://library.ci.glendale.ca.us/special_collections.asp" target="_blank">Special Collections</a>, filled the library's two first-floor reading rooms, while panel discussions and film screenings took place throughout the day a floor above.<br /><br />It was our second year in a row taking part in the Bazaar, and once again we had a great time sharing our collection with researchers, students, and local history buffs (with their own Glendale stories to share in return).

Fortunately this work of magical realism endures and we get to peek into the lives of the ve</span><span style="font-family:arial;">ry unusual Trueba family as their story unfolds against the backdrop of a politically turbulent, yet unnamed country.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />The original review:</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">Starred Review */ A strong, absorbing Chilean family chronicle, plushly upholstered--with mystical undercurrents (psychic phenomena) and a measure of leftward political commitment. (The author is a cousin of ex-Pres. Salvador Allende, an ill-fated socialist.) The Truebas are estate-owners of independent wealth, of whom only one--the eventual patriarch, Esteban--fully plays his class role. Headstrong and conservative, Esteban is a piggish youth, mistreating his peons and casually raping his girl servants . . . until he falls under the spell of young Clara DelValle: mute for nine years after witnessing the gruesome autopsy of her equally delicate sister, Clara is capable of telekinesis and soothsaying; she's a pure creature of the upper realms who has somehow dropped into crude daily life. So, with opposites attracting, the marriage of Esteban and Clara is inevitable--as is the succession of Clara-influenced children and grandchildren. Daughter Blanca ignores Class barriers to fall in love with--and bear a child by--the foreman's son, who will later become a famous left wing troubadour (on the model of Victor Jara). Twin boys Jaime and Nicholas head off in different directions--one growing up to become a committed physician, the other a mystic/entrepreneur. And Alba, the last clairvoyant female of the lineage, will end the novel in a concentration camp of the Pinochet regime. Allende handles the theosophical elements here matter-of-factly: the paranormal powers of the Trueba women have to be taken more or less on faith. (Veteran readers of Latin American fiction have come to expect mysticism as part of the territory.) And the political sweep sometimes seems excessively insistent or obtrusive: even old Esteban recants from his reactionary ways at the end, when they seem to destroy his family. ("Thus the months went by, and it became clear to everyone, even Senator Trueba, that the military had seized power to keep it for themselves and not hand the country over to the politicians of the right who made the coup possible.") But there's a comfortable, appealing professionalism to Allende's narration, slowly turning the years through the Truebas' passions and secrets and fidelities. She doesn't rush; the characters are clear and sharp; there's style here but nothing self-conscious or pretentious. So, even if this saga isn't really much deeper than the Belva Plain variety, it's uncommonly satisfying--with sturdy, old-fashioned storytelling and a fine array of exotic, historical shadings.

It was an entertaining but the book was so much better, check it out and see for yourself.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">(Click on the cover art for current availability.)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">One of the original reviews:</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">/* Starred Review */ Irving's novels, which often begin in autobiographical commonplace, get transformed along the way: sometimes into fairy tale (The Hotel New Hampshire), sometimes into modern-day ironic fable (The World According to Garp). This one--set in New Hampshire in the 50's and 60's--is a little of both, but not enough of either: its tone is finally too self-righteous to be fully convincing as fiction. In 1953, Owen Meany--a physically tiny man with a big voice who believes he's God's instrument--kills his best friend's mother with a foul ball. His best friend, Johnny Wheelwright, is the book's narrator: from Toronto, where he has lived for some 20 odd years, he tells the story of Owen Meany, who has a voice that "comes from God," of his own "Father Hunt"--Wheelwright is the product of his mother's "little fling"--and of growing up in the Sixties, when some people believed in destiny, others in coincidence. Sweetly moralistic, Wheelwright, who became "a Christian because of Owen Meany," sometimes launches into tirades about Reagan and the Iran/contra fiasco, but mostly he tells Owen's story: Meany, who always writes and speaks in the uppercase, is the real mouthpiece here, though Wheelwright is his Nick Carraway. Meany, after hitting "that fated baseball," no longer believes in accidents: his parents, in the granite business, convince him that he's the product of a virgin birth (we learn late in the book). His sense of destiny serves him well: not only does he play the Christ child in a Christmas pageant and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, but his pontificating "Voice" becomes a great power at the prep school he attends with Johnny (there are some marvelous sent-ups of prep school), and he "sees" the circumstances and the date of his own death. After much inventive detail (as well as much slapstick and whimsy dealing with Meany's tiny size and strange voice) and the working-out of a three-way relationship involving Meany, Johnny, and his cousin Hester, Meany saws off Johnny's finger in order to keep him out of Vietnam, dies as he foresaw, and reveals to Johnny from beyond the grave that the local Congregationalist minister is his real father. Vintage Irving--though here Dickensian coincidence, an Irving staple, becomes the subject of the book rather than a technique. The result is a novel that seems sincere but turns too bombastic and insistent in its opinions about literature, religion, and politics.

A widower, </span><span style="font-family: arial;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Atticus</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> raises his children with legal dispassion and paternal intelligence, and is ably abetted by </span><span style="font-family: arial;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Calpurnia</span><span style="font-family:arial;">, the colored cook, while the Alabama town of Maycomb, in the 1930's, remains aloof to their divergence from its tribal patterns. Scout and Jem, with their summer-time companion, Dill, find their paths free from interference -- but not from dangers; their curiosity about the imprisoned Boo, whose miserable past is incorporated in their play, results in a tentative friendliness; their fears of Atticus' lack of distinction is dissipated when he shoots a mad dog; his defense of a Negro accused of raping a white girl, Mayella Ewell, is followed with avid interest and turns the rabble whites against him. Scout is the means of averting an attack on Atticus but when he loses the case it is Boo who saves Jem and Scout by killing Mayella's father when he attempts to murder them. The shadows of a beginning for black-white understanding, the persistent fight that Scout carries on against school, Jem's emergence into adulthood, Calpurnia's quiet power, and all the incidents touching on the children's "growing outward" have an attractive starchiness that keeps this southern picture pert and provocative. There is much advance interest in this book; it has been selected by the Literary Guild and Reader's Digest; it should win many friends.

When any of these things happens, either separately or simultaneously, Kingma offers a list of ten ways whereby readers can eventually learn that their difficulties have meaning and purpose.

The Central Library’s display case develops the dual themes of favorite poem collections and pockets full of poetry.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bVz6fnyuSaE/S70hxCnaVQI/AAAAAAAACFE/ng3BhHpHFqg/s1600/Poem+Basket.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457555449842390274" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bVz6fnyuSaE/S70hxCnaVQI/AAAAAAAACFE/ng3BhHpHFqg/s320/Poem+Basket.JPG" /></a><br />In addition, library users are encouraged to submit copies of their favorite poems, many of which will be displayed in the display’s fanciful poetry pockets. <strong>Drop one in the basket next to the display in the Central Library</strong>.</em> <em>-- John, Reference Librarian<strong><br /></strong></em><br /><em>For further information, call the Central Library reference desk at 818-548-2027.</em>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-644836580408797480.post-69732658160988462322010-03-18T12:34:00.000-07:002010-03-18T12:50:27.978-07:00Glendale History: March Madness, 1909 Style<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gs9G6V8uwGM/S6KAh2H3-AI/AAAAAAAAALg/gGGdkK-8iWY/s1600-h/MyrtleGHSBasketball1909B_1.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 228px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gs9G6V8uwGM/S6KAh2H3-AI/AAAAAAAAALg/gGGdkK-8iWY/s400/MyrtleGHSBasketball1909B_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450059818024302594" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:78%;" ><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-size:85%;">(click on the photograph to view a larger version in a new window)<br /><br /></span></span></span></div><span style="font-family:arial;">With men's and women's NCAA Tournaments beginning this week, it seems apropos to share this picture of the 1909 Glendale High School girls basketball team.
