	COMANCHE MOON
		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.
		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.
		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.

	Salon "A Thousadn Acres"
		by Jane Smiley's Pulitzer Prize-winning 1991 novel "A Thousand Acres." For one thing, the book's "dark secret" seemed utterly implausible.
		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.

	Salon.com books Virginia Woolf: The quiet revolutionary
		The author of "The Hours" celebrates the writer who inspired his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel.
		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).
		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.

	Amazon.com: Books: The Hours
		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.
		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.

	I Celebrate Walt - Michael Cunningham takes on Whitman in his new novel. By Meghan O'Rourke
		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.
		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.
