	Amazon.com: Winter's Tale: Books: Mark Helprin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		All of Helprin's protagonists, however, are not native New Yorkers and have come from elsewhere to seek their destiny, a fact that goes a long way towards helping those of us not familiar with the city feel that we have come to both know and love it.
		Helprin drops many hints along the way that New York is heading for its Armageddon, a point where all good and evil will finally meet in one climactic moment and a golden light of peace, love and justice will usher in a new life for this glorious city.
		Helprin, as his admirers are fond of pointing out, is intoxicated with language, but whatever his skills, he isn't capable of passing that intoxication along to all of his readers.

	SALON: Rewriting Bob Dole
		Helprin concludes the passage with an observation as applicable to current American politics as it was to his literary invention: "They thought, or so it was generally stated at the time, that if they were going to be lied to, they might as well pick the liar who did it best."
		Helprin refused to provide any details of the speech, saying that it could be changed, or rejected altogether -- an unlikely prospect given the success of his previous foray into speechwriting.
		Mark Schapiro is a New York-based writer and is a regular contributor to Salon.

	Literary Warrior
		Helprin based his case primarily on Chinese officials’ donations to Clinton’s presidential campaign, and Clinton’s waiving of restrictions that limited China’s offensive military capacity.
		Helprin also worked as a speechwriter for Robert Dole for several months during the latter’s 1996 presidential campaign, but the Dole camp broke their agreements with him, he says, and froze him out of the Republican convention.
		Helprin’s hero is Winston Churchill, and in 2001, when he and family traveled to London, within 15 minutes of arriving in South Kensington they found themselves waiting to cross a street alongside Winston S. Churchill III, the hero’s grandson and namesake.

	Review \| Freddy and Fredericka by Mark Helprin
		Helprin also weaves in a moving love story-that-might-have-been, for the title characters are obviously based on Prince Charles and Princess Diana; it was Diana's death in 1997 that ended their troubled marriage.
		While Helprin extols the fundamental vitality of America and the enduring values underlying its greatness, he decries the perversion of its values by unscrupulous and self-serving seekers of wealth and power.
		Helprin's credentials, in the form of his earlier books, suggest that he alone could have taken it on feeling confident of success.

	AFF's Doublethink :: Interview: Mark Helprin
		Helprin's opinions about the war in Iraq make a hell of a lot of sense, however, and in this time of safe, well-crafted MFA stories, someone like Helprin is pretty close to a national treasure.
		Helprin is as conservative as he thinks he is. He certainly doesn't fit with the current bunch of criminals and incompetents operating under that banner, anyway.
		Helprin says he is a social phobic, and he provides convincing early childhood evidence for such avoidance.

		Still, as a Mark Helprin fan, this is one of his few works that I had not read.
		As in Winter's Tale, in Ellis Island, Helprin is not averse to destroying beautiful things for the sake of a larger good, even if the logic of his narrative does not demand that he do so.
		Mark Helprin's writing provides a wonderful experience somewhere between the pruned brilliance of Hemingway,the lyricism of Pasternak, and the surreal vistas of Garcia-Marquez.

		I was already a devotee of Helprin's stories (which appeared mainly in the New Yorker) when his second novel Winter's Tale appeared in 1983.
		Purple in the sense 'marked by ornate rhetoric or elaborate literary devices' is a literary allusion.
		Not only did Helprin borrow from Asbury, but an awful lot of WT is based on real stuff from New York's history--from Petipas' and Mouquin's, which were real establishments, to Hardesty Marratta, who was a real person.

		And so it was that these Italian sheep were destined for Palestine, and they passed the time dreaming of the olive groves and bare meadows where they had been born.
		— Helprin's first novel, and my personal favorite of his works, this is the story of a foundling named Marshall Pearl, who is born in 1947 aboard an illegal immigrant ship attempting to fight its way through the British naval cordon around Palestine.
		Most of the individual episodes that make up Marshall Pearl's life are fascinating, and Helprin's prose remains stellar throughout, but after the first few hundred pages you may find yourself asking, as I did, "Is this going somewhere?" The book more than redeems itself in the last chapter, but he could have gotten there quicker.

		But it can create a cetain preconception that doesn't fit, and that makes the book a harder read in some ways, since you might think you know what to expect, but are incorrect.
		Winter's Tale, I find, is better understood and appreciated after having read something else by Helprin.
		The same is probably true for Refiner's Fire, but this is all specilation.

	BrothersJudd.com - Review of Mark Helprin's Memoir from Antproof Case
		This generally means someone who gets stellar reviews from the critics for the quality of his prose and his use of language, but who pays little attention to either formal plot or the desire of the average reader to comprehend what the author's up to.
		However, especially in recent years, Helprin has emerged as one of the most graceful and consistently insightful conservative columnists in America, writing mainly in the pages of the Wall Street Journal.
		Though still an over bounteous smorgasbord of a book, it benefits from a much more defined sense of narrative direction than some of Helprin's others and that goes a long way towards carrying the reader through the lulls and misdirections.

		I believe I witnessed the exact moment of the end of Bughouse Square one warm summer night in the early 1960s, when I saw a thuggish kid slip up behind an orator and light his straw hat on fire, signifying that that world was no longer safe even for nuts.
		Somehow I didn’t know that Mark Helprin has a new collection of stories, The Pacific and Other Stories, coming out this month (if you believe Amazon) or next month (if you believe the latest issue of Commentary, which includes a 30-page story from the collection called “Perfection”).
