 The SF Site Featured Review: Whole Wide World
We once believed that the world was packed, wingtip to wingtip, with invisible and omnipresent angels whispering the word of God to His entire creation, leaning through our skulls to speak to our souls.
Our protagonist is a man at the end of his career, measured more by his failures than successes, called in on his day off to pick up evidence at a particularly brutal crime scene that involves the use of video cameras and the theft of computer hard drives.
True to the best detective novels, this work is as much a character study as an investigation of a crime, and the world the author has created is grounded in a depth of realism, psychological insight and detail representing the best of both genres blended.

The whole spirit of popular music stars performing for this charitable cause culminated in a huge, day long, live concert - half in England and half in the U.S. - televised around the world.
In a moment when the eyes of the world were upon him in the most literal sense imaginable, Dylan chose to defy the spirit of this enormous occasion - a huge steamroller of global feel-good charity that had rolled over the popular music world - and he chose to address only his American audience.
With hindsight, it was probably Dylan's Live Aid performance that cemented the whole "Dylan is a burnt-out crank" theory as the conventional wisdom in many circles.

In The Whole Wide World, Novalyne opens one of Howard's magazines, and from the book issues a Sturm-und-Drang noise of clashing swords, grunts of combat and thundering orchestra, and she has to slam the covers shut in dismay to silence the din.
Howard's escape into the world of Conan and his many other bigger-than-life avengers (Agnes de Chastillon to El Borak) was for him what it was for his readers--an escape from the troubles of life.

McAuley effectively combines traditional techno-thriller and police procedural techniques with a clear sense of where the World Wide Web at its worst may be going to produce a highly effective, well-crafted and unusually gritty novel that should please fans of both thrillers and computer-oriented hard SF.
This stylish, extremely well-written novel should be regarded as one of the finest examples of contemporary science fiction, and deserves the "whole wide world" as its potential audience.
Electrifying and shocking, (McAuley's) WHOLE WIDE WORLD is a terrific blend of John Grisham, Tom Clancy, and Orwell's 1984.

 The Whole Wide World   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Dan Ireland's first feature film, The Whole Wide World, is an exercise in restraint, focusing on the nuances of a turbulent romantic relationship without indulging in crowd-pleasing theatrics.
The actors' understated performances, set against the lush backdrop of the Texan countryside, are fresh and heartfelt -- D'Onofrio's portrayal of his complex and misunderstood character is especially affecting.
Although The Whole Wide World is the kind of low-budget independent effort that usually falls through the cracks, it offers a quietly memorable and visually dazzling depiction of love lost.

In 1933, Novalyne's friend Clyde (Benjamin Mouton) introduces her to Bob Howard, "the greatest pulp writer in the world." Novalyne is an aspiring writer herself, a frequent but unsuccessful submitter to the confession magazines that rivaled the adventure pulps in popularity at the time.
She knows nothing of Howard's work, only that, incredibly, he seems to be able to make a living with words, and she is desperate for someone with whom she might talk shop.

There's life as we'd like it to be, and life as it really is, and "The Whole Wide World" is a masterfully presented character study that succinctly examines that situation.

Adapted for the screen, The Whole Wide World (1996) stars a just-post-Jerry Maguire Renee Zellweger as Novalyne and Vincent D'Onofrio as Bob; and while the story presents Howard in a favorable light, he still comes off as more than a little crazy.
Introduced to Howard by an ex-boyfriend in 1933, Novalyne finds herself immediately taken by the broad-faced gent in perennial white shirts and suspenders, a man generally considered to be a major weirdo by those in their North Texas town.
Columbia TriStar's DVD release of The Whole Wide World offers a disappointing anamorphic transfer (2.35:1) that's colorful and bright but also worn — there's not a scene on this disc that isn't marred by scratches and specks.

The world of pulp writer Robert E. Howard is given an affectionate treatment in The Whole Wide World.
The Whole Wide World is one such story, and appropriately it is a yarn about an eccentric "yarn-spinner." It slipped through the Fort Lauderdale Film Festival quietly, and deserves another viewing.
So it seems only fair that The Whole Wide World may benefit from the exposure of the blockbuster.

One notable exception to this rule seems to have been pulp writer Robert E. Howard, the subject of Dan Ireland's absorbing new biopic The Whole Wide World.
Vincent D'Onofrio (an actor I will continue to laude until he gets bigger and better parts) stars as burley, blustery good ol' Texas boy Bob Howard who hit it big penning the lusty adventures of Conan the Barbarian back in the pulp magazine era of the 1930s.

The same Texas countryside that Novalyne finds innocent and naive Howard sees as a threat where the houses are filled not with common people but only with drunks, hypocrites, and wife beaters who would just as soon cut your throat as lend you a hand.
The camera shows us "the whole wide world" and it's as if for the first time Howard too sees beyond his fantasy world into Novalyne's world.
Instead the film is a strange fairy tale with two characters creating a world from which they can then make more stories.

Actually, they never really manage to get together, although Bob walks through the whole film looking like he's going to explode with feeling (or something else) at any moment.
Given Howard's career path, "The Whole Wide World" is a classic case of truth being far more interesting than fiction.
