The Gift of Rain
by Tan Twan Eng
The Gift of Rain is a beautifully executed treatise on loyalty, betrayal, and the redemptive power of forgiveness. Set in Penang during the 1930s, this novel recounts the youth of an aging Philip Hutton, the half-Chinese son of a powerful British family. After befriending the Japanese diplomat, Hayato Endo, who is also a covert agent, Philip embarks on a destructive journey of self-realization. As his relationship with Endo matures, Philip realizes that loyalty is stronger than fear or death. ( read more) Reviewed by Cheryl Cornwell |
The Sorrows of an American
by Siri Hustvedt
Raised in Minnesota but for years now a resident of New York City, Hustvedt brings to this tale of a family scattered across a continent her deep grasp of the American rural/urban divide, nowhere more tellingly than in an eerie showing of "legacy objects" reminiscent of Aeneas' dream of his household gods in The Aeneid. A novel for slow savoring.

Watching the Spring Festival
by Frank Bidart
Bidart -- winner of the 2007 Bollingen Prize -- is one of the most unique voices in American literature. His latest collection contains one longish poem ("Ulanova at Forty-Six At Last Dances Before a Camera Giselle") but is devoid of such epics as "The Third Hour of the Night," (from his previous collection Star Dust.) It does however contain some of his most beautiful and provacotive shorter lyrics to date. (Read More) Reviewed by Michael Schiavo
