Title: The Fall and Rise of Landon Harris

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 55 mins

Language: English

Publisher's Summary:

It seemed that Landon Harris had every reason to expect that after writing seven successful novels, he would be entitled to an eighth. He dutifully spoke at the luncheons created by his publisher and the NPR interviews and was preparing himself for the coming book tour. Landon loved his readers, enjoyed meeting them, but hated their questions after the talks and readings, or at the interminable dinners, be they in Memphis or Los Angeles.

Landon Harris had a ritual created by him and his now departed young wife when he began writing, and she was still beside him. After the hoop-de-do, they would settle in bed and all night long, read the book with the express purpose of learning for themselves, at a bit of distance from its inception, if it was as good a book as they hoped. This was an instructive process that seemed to make each book better. When Landon applied this ritual to his eighth book, he learned that he had, very simply, written a bad book. Two bad things would ensue: he would have to endure the agony of promoting this bad book, and his internal process of creating the next book would be shunted because the natural bridge to that idea was blown away.

Here is where Landon learns that writer's block is only one region of writer's hell. This new region he was exploring internally was trip-wired with ego, insecurity, an inability to "face-up-to-it", plus a willingness to exploit the wrong opportunity. Given the opportunity to comment on the manuscript of short stories by a young writer, Landon turns himself into the devil and makes a deal with the young writer to let Landon edit, throw out, add in and generally fix this writer's work into a book of his own, to be published under the name of Landon Harris. This, he thinks, will give him time and leeway to build the bridge to his ninth novel.

Résumé de l'éditeur:

"Il arrive dans la vie de chacun que, soudain, la porte claquée au nez s'entrouvre, la grille qu'on venait d'abaisser se relève, le non définitif n'est plus qu'un peut-être, le monde se transfigure, un sang neuf coule dans nos veines. C'est l'espoir. Nous avons obtenu un sursis. Le verdict d'un juge, d'un médecin, d'un consul est ajourné. Une voix nous annonce que tout n'est pas perdu. Tremblante, des larmes de gratitude aux yeux, nous passons dans la pièce suivante où l'on nous prie de patienter, avant de nous jeter dans l'abîme."

Ainsi commence le bref voyage que deux amants font ensemble avant de se séparer. Elle reste à Paris, exilée de sa Russie natale ; il rentre en Suède avant que la guerre ne l'en empêche définitivement. Après ce dernier paradis, la mémoire se réduit, s'effiloche... Néanmoins, l'espoir survit à la guerre et conduit cette femme à la recherche de l'amant, dont elle est sans nouvelles. C'est alors que le sens de leurs deux destins finalement se révèle.

Riepilogo Editore:

Diego lavora alla revisione di un vocabolario. Nei barattoli delle parole chiude tutto quello che riesce a definire. È pratica che gli viene naturale anche nella vita. Cataloga ogni istante: luogo data ora.

In uno dei suoi continui spostamenti tra Roma e Pisa, dove insegna, il treno si ferma in galleria per un guasto, le luci si spengono. Nel buio Diego sviene. Una voce arriva lontanissima a tirarlo fuori dalla vaghezza: Antonia. Ieri diventa oggi e domani ieri, l'ordine e la memoria di Diego si allentano. È come se Antonia ci fosse sempre stata eppure non c'era. La loro è una storia d'amore che vuole la perfezione. Più sono vicini, più forte è il rischio che il cerchio si spezzi. Basta una menzogna. Contro ogni logica, l'inganno si rivela più forte della verità e la verità più forte dell'inganno.

Riepilogo Editore:

In un romanzo tutta la nostra vita: come la vogliamo, come, a volte, non la vogliamo.

Luísa era ancora un'adolescente. Tiago era ormai un giovane adulto. Si erano conosciuti nella solitudine di una spiaggia, sulla riva di un fiume. Avevano in comune una storia famigliare traumatica. In un caso, genitori troppo amati. Nell'altro, genitori troppo odiati. Si erano conosciuti un giorno che sembrava contenere una vita intera. Ma sarebbero rimasti separati per sempre se l'invisibile filo della malattia non li avesse riavvicinati, sedici anni dopo.

Viaggio al termine del cuore è più che una commovente storia d'amore. È la ricostruzione di un meraviglioso mondo di padri e madri, figli e fratelli, odi e amori. Rivela gli incubi di una malattia ingiusta, ma non rinuncia a ciò che è umano ed essenziale: il sogno.

Title: The Fortunes

Author: Peter Ho Davies

Narrator: James Chen

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 37 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-06-16

Publisher: Wholestory Audiobooks

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Inspired by three figures who lived at pivotal moments in Chinese American history, and drawing on his own mixed-race experience, Peter Ho Davies plunges us into what it is like to feel and be treated like a foreigner in the country you call home.

Ranging from the mouth of the Pearl River to the land of golden opportunity, this remarkable audiobook spans 150 years to tell a tale of familial bonds denied, of tenacity and pride, of prejudice and the universal need to belong.

Critic Reviews:

"A poignant, cascading four-part novel about being Asian and western, about immigrants and natives, about belonging in a country and one's skin...outstanding." (David Mitchell, Guardian)

"The book's scope is impressive, but what's even more staggering is the utter intimacy and honesty of each character's introspection.... Davies has created a brilliant, absorbing masterpiece." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

It is really three short stories

Well written. How representative of Chinese Americans, I do not know. There is a weak attempt to weave them together in the last story, but they are really separate. The one titled "Pearl" is the most powerful as it explores a Chinese American adopting a Chinese baby girl. Self-identity and acceptance are fiercely sought. Parenthood brings reality.

Four Stars

Interesting story of Chinese participation in the gold rush.

Four Stars

An interesting combination of fact and fiction to explore the history of the Chinese in the United States.

Looking for the elephant

This book is a bit hard to review because it consists of four parts (of greatly varying quality) which can be read and grasped separately, although they all have the common theme of racism. I felt almost like the author simply put four novellas in one volume. The first section is written in the third person past tense. It's mainly about a Chinese man, Ling, who takes a job as a valet to a baron of the Central Pacific Railroad during a time where Chinese workers were being exploited (post Civil War; Lincoln has recently been assassinated). Originally, he is sold to a man, "Uncle" Ng, who runs a combined laundry and brothel, where he helps with the former and falls in love with one of the girls who works in the latter. There is a great deal of prejudice from the "ghosts," or whites who live in the same town. Ling, whose unknown father was white, develops a desire to find gold himself, and eventually leaves the baron to perform various tasks on the railway line.

The second part shifts abruptly into the present tense with the protagonist referred to simply as "she." It takes a few pages before she's identified as Anna Mae Wong, the first Chinese American movie star, and we follow her path from a little movie-struck girl to a respected (but not quite accepted in some circles) actress and finally to her career's and. The third part of the book is told from the first person perspective of the friend of Vincent Chin, an Asian man who was the victim of a famous hate crime in the eighties. The verdict, which was widely considered unfair, helped unite Asians of different backgrounds to form a movement to have the case reopened (and the perps properly punished).

The fourth takes place in the present day (third person) and portrays John Smith, a biracial writer and academic who, after a series of disappointments when his wife attempts to conceive a child, decides to adopt a Chinese baby girl.

Resumen del editor:

Cierto día a un costado del corral se encontraba una vaca y del otro lado un cerdo, ambos enfrascados en tremenda discusión.La vaca alegaba que ella aportaba más para el consumo del ser humano, por el contrario, el cerdo decía que era el quien producía más.Alrededor de ellos los otros animales escuchaban con atención; entre ellos había dos gallinas gordas y todos tenían en cuenta que contribuían algo al hombre, pero reconocían que eran los dos en discusión quienes sobresalían en esa ocupación tradicional. Parecía que nunca iban a llegar ningún acuerdo y a cada momento la discusión subía de tono hasta el grado de algún intento de acornear y de morder. Un ratón que rastrillaba el piso decidió intervenir en el alegato sin sentido. - ¿Pues qué está sucediendo aquí? - preguntó el ratón.
