Book review
Emotion is at the core of the author's splendid work, but to his credit, the novel never becomes sentimental.
The 2007-2008 Talking Volumes season so far has brought Sherman Alexie, Ann Patchett and Walter Mosley to the Fitzgerald Theater. Up next:
May 27: Michael Ondaatje His most recent novel, "Divisadero" (Knopf), begins in Northern California in the 1970s with a man and his two teenage daughters. An act of violence splinters the family, and from these shards Ondaatje spins more tales - which send us spinning from the past to the present, and from the casinos of Nevada to the French countryside.
June 12: Judy Blume Blume is perhaps best known and loved for her frank and funny take on preteens in "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret." Now she's launched "Soupy Saturdays With the Pain and the Great One" (Delacorte), the first of four books aimed at ages 5 to 7. The series, an equally frank and funny take on sibling dynamics, features Abigail (The Great One) and her brother, Jake (The Pain).
