Had high expectations

I was very much looking forward to reading this book as I have visited Peru a number of times and have a great affection for it. For an interesting twist the main protagonist is very overweight and is a single parent of a one-year old girl.

Kesey does present a compelling picture of life in this area of Peru, but he does not describe the regional dishes and drinks - just gives their names. Which could be disappointing for the uninitiated.

My main beefs with the book are that it could easily have been reduced by about 100 pages; it was too long and the length added nothing to the story. The other is that almost every page has a description of something the one-year old toddler is doing. Even those who absolutely adore very young children would find this cloying, annoying and tedious.

Life in Peru is very different and exotic and Kesey presents an absorbing written panorama but for the rest - not so.

Serious and complex literary offering, written in an unusual style

I liked and admired this book. The author's stream of consciousness writing style is interesting in itself, although it takes a few pages to get used to it. Written in the first person, I appreciated the way Kesey wove the many elements of the story into a rich, though sometimes slow-moving and repetitive, tapestry. A couple of times I found myself getting a little bored, but then the story took a different turn and reeled me back in. The characters are well drawn and the plot ends in a satisfying way.

The book is also interesting in the way South American and Peruvian history are woven into the story, along with interesting descriptions of modern life in Peruvian small towns and remote villages. Pacazo is well worth reading, but it will take concentration. It's a serious and complex literary offering that can't be read in a few hours.

A very complex tale.

We learn that the narrator intends to return home just as he begins to collect some valuable information for his thesis. It is, however, never clear to the reader or the narrator just what his topic is or why he stayed in Peru for such a long time. No question raised is ever answered, and, it seems, he has lost hope of finding anything which will help him. M

Off the beaten track in Peru

Life in Peru is difficult as this realistic novel projects. From Iguana annoyances to floods washing away your deepest love memories, this book gives a harsh look at life in a tropical area of Peru. Much as I felt uncomfortable with the living conditions, I still read with an appetite for more. I was lost at first trying to discern the concurrent story themes. But once I got a handle on Kesey's writing style, I let myself go and enjoyed the ride. In one paragraph you may find six different story lines and you need to learn to keep a bookmark for each.

I found the Incan history intriguing; Kesey contrasted the Spanish domination of the Incan natives against the present day life of Peru still conquering its inhabitants; they are suppressed by heat, flood, inefficient officials, archaic travel modes and a disorganized university. But the chubby main character experiences different levels of life amidst the sweaty down-to-earth Peruvians.

Quando torna a New York, dopo aver lasciato il Nevada, Sophie ha alle spalle una relazione fallita e tanta disillusione. Nella Grande Mela spera però di ricostruirsi una vita e di dare un taglio a certi rapporti che l'hanno segnata, ferita, umiliata. Ma l'incontro con l'affascinante e ricco Adam Scott, stimola come non mai la sensualità di Sophie, suscitando in lei emozioni contrastanti a cui vorrebbe opporsi.

Perché Adam è un uomo ambiguo, riluttante a qualsiasi legame sentimentale e abituato a sfogare i suoi più estremi istinti sessuali cambiando donna in continuazione. E Sophie ne è certa: sarà l'ennesima storia sbagliata. Eppure la sua volontà si piega, fino a cedere di fronte ai tentativi di seduzione di Adam. E tra i due si scatena una passione folle e senza limiti, fatta di amabili tormenti, conflitti aperti, brusche separazioni, crudeli vendette e dolcissimi ricongiungimenti Lentamente e con tenacia, come una luce che penetra il buio, Sophie invade la solitudine di Adam, rendendolo vulnerabile dopo tanto tempo, ma finalmente vivo. Perché solo un amore tanto potente può costringere anche il più disincantato e cinico degli uomini a superare i propri limiti...

Titre: Claire dans la forêt

Auteur: Marie Darrieussecq

Narrateur: Marie Darrieussecq

Format: Unabridged

Durée: 59 mins

Langue: Français

Date de publication: 02-08-17

Éditeur: des femmes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Résumé de l'éditeur:

"Dans ce pays où la raison et les coutumes régissent tout, les villageois les plus censés semblent soumis à la présence de forces irrésistibles. Si Claire avait vécu loin de la forêt - loin du pouvoir étrange des forêts - son destin aurait-il été différent prise entre deux hommes et deux désirs ?" M. D.

"Je n'ai pas été élevée dans l'idée de la révolte. Mais ma famille était peut-être légèrement différente des familles locales. Le mot révolte, d'ailleurs, est fort. Si je n'ai pas épousé le garçon qui m'était, de toute évidence, destiné, ce n'était pas par esprit de rébellion. Il me semble aujourd'hui encore que ce refus était un acte, le simple acte de choisir ; disons alors : un acte d'amour. Mais les gens d'ici ne l'ont sans doute pas interprété de cette façon." M.D.

Title: The Storm

Subtitle: How Young Men Become Good Men

Author: Dan Blanchard

Narrator: Daniel M. Pivin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 20 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-08-17

Publisher: Dan Blanchard

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

The Storm is about a teen struggling with life in a violent and frustrating world. He is trying to do what he can, but he's angry about the hand life has dealt him. Then, out of the blue, his estranged and mysterious Granddaddy stops by to see him. They go for a walk in the park, and for one stormy and magical afternoon, Granddaddy talks about being a former WWII fighter pilot, about his past, his famous friends, and about how he escaped a meaningless life.

Members Reviews:

Coaching tool for young men

THE STORM is structured as a conversation between a sixteen-year-old boy and his grandfather. The young boy has lived with an abusive father and has had some success and dealing with and overcoming his situation, but has no role model except the negative recognition of what he doesn't want to be. His grandfather spends the day giving him advice, employing the Socratic Method of question-and-answer, contemplation and revelation.

I see this book most useful as a tool for teachers and coaches of young men. With a small group of young teenagers (maybe 12-14-year-olds), for instance, a coach could assign a few chapters of reading - just a bit at a time, since there is no "story" to maintain the interest of a young reader - and then spark a discussion of the topic. The book contains advice on such topics as Planning & Goal-Setting, Winning & Losing, Striving for Improvement, Perseverance, Instant Gratification versus Long-Term Satisfaction. By selecting a couple of chapters at a time, and using the Socratic Method, the coach, teacher or mentor could encourage the kids to discuss how each topic can work for them.

THE STORM is a book that can be an effective framework for adults to help provide boys with tools for mature decision-making in their current lives and in the future.

determination and drive will get them there with love and guidance

Quite a moving story about life lessons, planning ahead and connecting! This is a touching story of a young man who is seeking and searching for many meanings in life with so many unanswered questions. His powerful conversation with his grandfather helped him clear the air a bit and opened new doors in his young mind shifting his path to a whole new world of thinking and feeling. This is a story that the youth of today need to read and experience. So many kids blindly flow through life because of circumstances beyond their control. The environment or situation they grow up into stifles their ability to seek the confidence they need to encourage future success. Bottom line kids/teens need mentors to teach and guide them, letting them know they can accomplish anything they set their mind to in life. Hard work, determination and drive will get them there with love and guidance. Thank you Dan for sharing this story! Lisa Zarcone

A Must-Read for All Families and Educators

Daniel Blanchard in his book, The Storm, provides amazing insight into the world of working and living with our youth. As a retired high school teacher and administrator, I am truly grateful that Dan has chosen to share his wisdom and his heart in order to create the right circumstances for our young folks to build meaningful and purposeful lives. Each of us can make a difference if we just âlistenâ and help our youth look inside themselves to win at the truly important things in life. Itâs a must-read for all families and educators and a real blessing.
