	The Pedant In The Kitchen - Julian Barnes - Review - Take Two Medium Onions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		When he was growing up the kitchen was not a place for boys but merely the place that meals and his mother emerged from.
		As a Chef, the Pedant in the Kitchen was always going to appeal to me, I lost count of the number of times I nodded knowingly or chuckled conspiratorially at Julian Barnes constant struggles in the culinary world.
		I guess more than anything else though I was able to enjoy the Pedant in the Kitchen as one of the conspirators of the culinary arts having come through those first clumsy catering steps, I emerged from the other side and that gives me the right to laugh at those who do not.

	Kitchen: "Beauty that seems to infuse itself into the heart." (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Kitchen is divided into two stories about people coping with the deaths of loved ones, "Kitchen" and "Moonlight Shadow." By dealing with death and loss, the characters are able to appreciate the sacredness of life.
		Kitchen is an extremely enjoyable novel, and by reading parts of it in Japanese, I think I gained a clearer perception of the writer's skill and the relationships between the characters.
		Kitchen has interesting characters, as well as a strong underlying philosophy, which forces the reader to think long after she has finished the story.

	Mahoko Yoshimoto's Kitchen \| National Clearinghouse for U.S.-Japan Studies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Her work Kitchen has been made into movies twice; the first adaptation was quickly produced, so in 1997 the Chinese director Yim Ho created an artistic version that used a male narrator in Hong Kong as the lead.
		The strength of this unit is to help students take a novel narrated in the first person and presented as a series of introspective flashbacks and to unify the work in a wholistic fashion built around its themes and symbols.
		Certainly the kitchen and the importance of food are the main elements which connect Section I (Kitchen) with Section II (Moonlight Shadow).

	Banana Yoshimoto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Her debut novel, Kitchen, was a phenomenal instant success, having over sixty printings in Japan alone.
		Another one of her novels, Goodbye Tsugumi was also made into a movie in 1990, directed by Ichikawa Jun.
		Yoshimoto herself identifies her two main themes as "the exhaustion of young people in contemporary Japan" and "the way in which terrible experiences shape a person's life." Her novels can be fun and escapist, but are always touched with traditional Japanese ideology.

	Penguin Reading Guides \| House On Eccles Road \| Judith Kitchen
		But their inner lives are still roiling, which Kitchen reveals with a subtlety and expressiveness approaching that of Joyce himself.
		So the original account of the flood in the novel is almost verbatim a description of the flood that had already appeared in an essay I wrote a dozen years ago.
		But in the novel, I realized that the flood was the source of Molly's imagery, that it haunted her imagination.

	Books at Random House of Canada \| Madame Proust and the Kosher Kitchen by Kate Taylor
		It is only when she retreats to her kitchen, determined to fuse her French and Jewish histories by mastering a kosher version of classic French cuisine, that she begins to face her sorrow head on.
		It took five years for Taylor to write this novel and find a publisher, but she relished in being able to lose herself in the creative process in a way that was very different from her journalistic work.
		As she commented in one interview, “Part of the attraction of writing novels for a journalist is the big project, the thing you get to live with as opposed to ‘get it done today and then it’s off to the bottom of the bird cage.’ I certainly loved living in that private world.

		Kitchen specifically looks at how they handle the fact that the day is the thirteenth anniversary of their wedding, and in general, how they are effected by the loss of their very young son some six years earlier.
		Kitchen not only gives the reader the internal thoughts of the couple, she does so in real time, changing perspective and point of view in mid-chapter seamlessly.
		Kitchen also brings the thoughts and actions of those who interact with Leo and Molly throughout the day to the attention of the reader.

	Kitchen \| Asian American Bookview \| GoldSea
		No matter where it is, no matter what kind, if it's a kitchen, if it's a place where they make food, it's fine with me. Ideally it should be well broken in.
		I love even incredibly dirty kitchens to distraction -- vegetable droppings all over the floors, so dirty your slippers rurn fl on the bottrom.
		When I raise my eyes from the oil-spattered gas burner and the rusty kitchen knife, outside the window stars are glittering, lonely.

		The story is told from the viewpoint of a surviving witness, the kitchen boy who worked in the house where the Romanovs were imprisoned in 1918.
		Because as kitchen boy he regularly leaves the house and is too lowly to draw suspicion, Leonka becomes a courier between the Tsar and unknown allies outside the walls.
		This novel was simple in terms of writing style however, the cunning twists that were put into the plot made it a really good read.

		The action of the novel exists primarily in the consciousness of the characters, for the story itself is essentially plotless and written in the stream-of-consciousness style of James Joyce.
		Translating this novel to the screen requires that it be done by those who have a strong understanding and affection for the authors and her characters.
		What makes the novel profound is not the end point that it reaches when we reach the close of a day in the life of Clarissa Dallowy, but the journey through her jumbled thoughts.

	Magic Kitchen (2004)
		The Hong Kong of Magic Kitchen is a yuppie paradise with trendy bars, cool restaurants, hip urban fashions, and cute guys who make eyes at Yau everywhere she goes.
		Magic Kitchen is rife with many, many character details, but nothing about the details seems to exist as more than a direction from the script.
		Magic Kitchen could have used that kind of sympathetic character, but the closest it has is Ho, who's played with doe-eyed cuddlieness by Jerry Yen.

	KITCHEN BOY A NOVEL OF THE LAST TSAR - Robert Alexander - Penguin Books
		Now an ancient Russian immigrant, Leonka claims to be the last living witness to the Romanovs’ brutal murders and sets down the dark secrets of his past with the imperial family.
		Historically vivid and compelling, The Kitchen Boy is also a touching portrait of a loving family that was in many ways similar, yet so different, from any other.
		What I wish to confess is that I was the kitchen boy in the Ipatiev House where the Tsar and Tsaritsa, Nikolai and Aleksandra, were imprisoned.

	Literary Encyclopedia: In the Red Kitchen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		While her earlier works experimented with a range of narrators and narrative styles, this novel is the first in a series which is recognisable for certain central concerns.
		The time-scale of the novel is ambitious, stretching from ancient Egypt to 1980s London, and Roberts cites some of her sources in the Author’s Note which prefaces the main text.
		Hat first appears to Flora Milk (the novel’s version of Florence Cook) at Flora’s father’s funeral, and later communicates with her via the ouija board, but these communications are driven by a cynical desire to restore her power.

	SparkNotes: The Kitchen God's Wife: Themes, Motifs, and Symbols
		The Kitchen God's Wife is very much about the issues that arise out of the immigrant experience and the generation gap between immigrants and their children.
		Amy Tan, the author of the novel, is giving the reader a version of her own experience as an Asian-American woman growing up in California, living in a house where there was a language barrier and where misunderstandings and miscommunications were common.
		At the beginning of the novel, we are introduced to a modern working woman, Pearl, married to a good husband who shares the responsibilities of house and home with his wife, as is illustrated in his relationship with his children.

		Kitchen is a novel that is cast with shadows, but is tinged with rays of hope.
		The subject of food and kitchens is one that I could easily relate to, even across the continental divide and even though I am not a particular 'foodie'.
		It is the incredible description of a kitchen that can really make you stop reading and think, not of any particular image of a kitchen, but of the exact mood you know Mikage feels as she dreams of her old kitchen and steps into her new, foreign but friendly kitchen.

	WFotW ~ The Sound and the Fury: COMMENTARY
		It was Faulkner’s own favorite novel, primarily, he says, because it is his “most splendid failure.” Depicting the decline of the once-aristocratic Compson family, the novel is divided into four parts, each told by a different narrator.
		Even though the present-day of this section is almost eighteen years prior to the present-day of Benjy’s section, it nevertheless follows roughly the chronological development of the novel, for while many of Benjy’s recollections are of their early childhood, most of Quentin’s flashbacks record their adolescence, particularly Caddy’s dawning sexuality.
		As the novel ends, the two narratives again converge: Luster has secured permission to drive Benjy to the graveyard, and both he and Jason arrive at the courthouse square in Jefferson at about the same time.

	Soundkeepers.com Shop Conversation in the Cathedral
		This far too lengthy review doesn't due justice to the scope and power of this novel, which is populated by fascinating characters from all walks of life and which explores some of the most salient themes of modern life.
		Vargas Llosa uses a very difficult style throughout this novel, since he jumps back and forth through time and space, and also changes continuously among the viewpoint of different characters, without warning the reader about what is going on in each case.
		The novel is, for the most part, encapsulated within their conversation, although we are occasionally reminded of some events accessible only to the omniscient narrator.

		The bookplate is drawn by cartoonist and KSP publisher Denis Kitchen but is signed by him as "Steve Krupp" (see page 52), the putative founder of Krupp Comic Works and Kitchen Sink Press, as well as the proprietor of Steve Krupp's Curio Shoppe.

	Books at Book Clubs \| Madame Proust and the Kosher Kitchen by Kate Taylor
		And throughout the novel, there are tender domestic moments (Sarah builds a snowman for Max) and cherished memories (Marie tells us of the cottage summers of her youth).
		The events of this novel take place over more than a century, stretching from Madame Proust’s diary entries of 1890 to Marie’s thoughts just before the end of the 20th century.
		Sarah’s efforts to adapt French cuisine to the kosher kitchen can be seen as a way of trying to reconcile her French and Jewish heritages.

		I was sitting in the kitchen with a swollen, fat lip because even though I was a girl, Emerson Randall had punched me in the mouth.
		The kitchen window was open and a cool breeze blew in, bringing with it strips of silver moonlight that caused an angelic glow around my mother’s body.
		She took me to the kitchen table and sat me down in the same seat I was in earlier that night, facing the sink, the window, the refrigerator and to my left, the back door.

	Kitchen (novel) Summary
		Japanese novelist Banana Yoshimoto "favors short novels that gradually reveal thin, almost translucent layers of her characters' personalities," as a critic for Publishers Weekly once explained.
		Kitchen （キッチン）is a novel written by Japanese author Banana Yoshimoto (吉本ばなな）in 1988 and translated into English in 1993 by Megan Backus.

	Reviews
		The novel is predominated by the consciousnesses of Molly and Leo, but we are also allowed other perspectives, such as that of Molly’s suitor, Ted Boyle, and that of her brother Brian.
		Thus, the tables are turned and the novel ends as an antithesis to Ulysses, allowing Leo his soliloquy which he begins with “no” as he lays awake, waiting for Molly to come upstairs to their bedroom.
		This song is present both as a growing affirmation of life in Molly herself and as a rendition of the thoughts and feelings that flow through her during the course of the day.

	Bookreporter.com - RASPUTIN'S DAUGHTER by Robert Alexander
		The novel opens as Maria is being questioned by the Thirteenth Section in April 1917 about her father's mysterious death.
		Through a succession of flashbacks, Maria describes the last week of her father's life in December 1916, set against the backdrop of a highly unstable Russian empire that is fraught with political upheaval and civil unrest.
		Like every good Russian novel, the threat of deceit is always in the air and, in the end, what unfolds is a plot twist (as much as a novel based on fact can contain a "twist") that will delight even the most knowledgeable of readers.

	Books at Book Clubs \| Madame Proust and the Kosher Kitchen by Kate Taylor
		There’s a parallel in Sarah’s life: her kosher kitchen is an attempt to craft an identity for herself by uniting her French and Jewish heritages, but in the end it proves to be false somehow, or perhaps too restrictive, and she destroys it.
		I was originally led into the post-Holocaust material in my novel because of the obvious foreshadowing of the Holocaust that was made possible in the storytelling when the Proust family became divided by the anti-Semitism of the Dreyfus Affair (in which a French army officer of Jewish heritage was wrongfully accused of spying).
		The final point of the novel is not who is related to whom, but why we write fiction, perhaps as an act of memory or empathy.
