Book Review: Silence by Shusaku Endo
The first novel by Shusaku Endo I read was “Scandal”, which he wrote late in his career. It’s set in Tokyo, and is a surreal story of an aging writer discovering the underworld of extreme sex and at the same … Continue reading
Book Review: Dawn by Elie Wiesel
This book came to me by accident. I was visiting the library at Anatolia High School in Thessaloniki one day and, as is occasionally the case, there was a pile of books on a table outside the door – books … Continue reading
Book Review: This Immortal by Roger Zelazny
Roger Zelazny exploded onto the science fiction scene back in the mid-sixties. Two of his stories won Nebula Awards in 1966, the first year they were ever given: “He Who Shapes” won the Nebula for best novella, and “The Doors … Continue reading
Book Review: The First Tycoon: The Epic Life of Cornelius Vanderbilt by T. J. Stiles
During the summer I often like to tackle really big books, often history books. This summer I took on a book that has already received a lot of acclaim: it has won the Pulitzer Prize as well as the National … Continue reading
On Reading The Lord of the Rings for the Fourteenth Time, Part Two: The Two Towers
I’m in a martial arts studio in New Jersey watching my oldest son train. A peculiar situation, you might say, in which to write a review of a fantasy story. But not so. “The Lord of the Rings” has to … Continue reading

Soon after starting to read this collection I found myself comparing Singer’s stories with those of Jorge Luis Borges. First of all, both writers deal with elements of the fantastic, though Singer is concerned mainly with that which has to … Continue reading
Book Review: Inventing Paradise: The Greek Journey 1937-47 by Edmund Keeley
Just before World War 2 a number of writers and poets came together in friendship in Greece and formed a group which included Henry Miller, Lawrence Durrell, George Seferis, George Katsimbalis, and other Greek literary figures. Henry Miller writes about … Continue reading
Book Review: Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
There are clues hidden in the first few paragraphs of this novel as to what will follow, but they are cryptic, understandable only in hindsight after you have made it almost to the end. Therefore, to me at least, the … Continue reading
Book Review: The Freelancer’s Survival Guide by Kristine Kathryn Rusch
I can’t remember how it happened or what led me to it, but by fortuitous chance I came across a blog called “Killing the Sacred Cows of Publishing” by Dean Wesley Smith. Every few days a new post would appear, … Continue reading
