	COMANCHE MOON
		With his Pulitzer Prize-winning, 1985 novel "Lonesome Dove," Larry McMurtry introduced to readers Gus McCrae and Woodrow Call, retired Texas Rangers seeking a final adventure by driving a herd of cattle to Montana.
		The novel opens at a measured pace, with McCrae and Call on a mission under the command of Inish Scull, a Harvard-educated adventurer turned Texas Ranger.
		On the whole, however, the novel suffers from its unwieldy length and off-kilter pacing, almost matching "Lonesome Dove" in heft but falling short in terms of narrative sweep.

		The novel has a long tradition of critical inquiry into its Christian imagery and symbolism, everything from the Noah's ark aspect of the Joad's truck to the Pieta-like image of Rose of Sharon feeding the starving man in the barn at the end.
		The novel is in many ways about a number of people undergoing the experience of becoming estranged from everything they formerly believed in, and what that experience does to individuals.
		Welty states in an interview that she desired this novel to be a tragedy of the McKelvas, each of whom realizes at different moments that she or he failed to save a loved one.

	Salon.com books \| Virginia Woolf: The quiet revolutionary
		Since Woolf's time, novels in the traditional mode have continued to be written by the boxcar load, but the novel as an art form has never been the same.
		Woolf believed (these are my words, not hers) that the meticulously structured, often inspirational novels of her time had about as much to do with the world and those who live in it as did a boat full of colonials and missionaries venturing into a jungle determined to subdue it.
		The novel begins with an ocean voyage onboard a modest passenger steamer, the Euphrosyne (so named by Woolf as a private joke -- it was the title of a collection of solemn poetry she considered ridiculous, published by her husband and some of her friends).

	I Celebrate Walt - Michael Cunningham takes on Whitman in his new novel. By Meghan O'Rourke (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In theory such borrowing is a source of rich inspiration, but in Cunningham's second novel it comes across as a symptom of novelistic anxiety about the status of high literature in an information-obsessed society.
		As the novelist who had first inspired Cunningham to start writing, she was a figure with whom he clearly felt aesthetic kinship; more important, her brand of minute social observation had just the deft structural precision that a blunter writer like Cunningham could benefit from.
		Reviewers of his earlier novels had accused him of a "shameless parading of issues" and of writing a "thesis novel." By contrast, The Hours invoked the tragedy of AIDS with a light touch—and a usefully historicizing one, too.

	Salon \| "A Thousadn Acres"
		I just didn't believe that the book's protagonist and narrator, a 37-year-old Iowa farm wife named Ginny, could have completely repressed the fact that her father had sex with her when she was 15 years old, night after night, for a year.
		Smiley's novel is filled with an unnecessary amount of family horror -- she could have achieved the same artistic effects without sprinkling on the Gothic MSG.
		But the interiority of the novel form allows us to look away from the lurid plot, to follow the subtler movement of Ginny's mind.

	Suzanne Goldenberg Meets Pulitzer Prize Winner Edward Jones
		The Known World is a novel about slavery, set in the American south before the civil war, when oppression was so deeply embedded in the collective mind that even free fl people owned slaves.
		That little known and strange fact was the inspiration for the novel and the idea that an African-American writer would choose such a theme caught the reviewers' attention when the book came out in the US.
		The move was a rupture for Jones - eclipsing even the Pulitzer which he won the same month - but he says he could no longer stand the noise, the clacking of heels and the scraping of furniture from the flat above.

		These novels have a formula that combines Thoreau's adage about "men leading lives of quiet desperation" and the Rolling Stone's song "Mother's Little Helper" and keeps continuously repackaging these two bits of wisdom together to churn out what are themeatically the same novel over and over again.
		My impression was that these novels could all have been written by the same person, or by a group of writers trying to write as if they were the same person, like the ghost writers of the "Nancy Drew" or "Hardy Boys" series.
		The sad thing about this novel is that the novels and people of a century ago that it is trying so hard to get in touch with were true outcasts in their time.

	Southern Quarterly: Caroline Miller, 1903-1992
		In the latter part of the novel, the text's attention to Cean's individual life recedes as the narrative opens out to take in the entire community, becoming a record of the births and deaths of Cean's children and grandchildren and following the fate of a brother who travels to California, where he dies.
		In this section of the novel, Cean manages her homestead alone while Dermid fights in the Civil War, and the novel ends with his return.
		As for the scholarly community's continuing neglect of the novel, it is due partly to the prevailing misogyny of the post-Depression era, which formed a critical climate hostile to such feminine texts as Miller's, and partly to a longstanding disinterest in the class of people Miller describes.
