Book Description
The town of Winthrop has decided it needs a new name. The resident software millionaire wants to call it New Prospera; the mayor wants to return to the original choice of the founding black settlers; and the town’s aristocracy sees no reason to change the name at all. What they need, they realize, is a nomenclature consultant. And, it turns out, the consultant needs them. But in a culture overwhelmed by marketing, the name is everything and our hero’s efforts may result in not just a new name for the town but a new and subtler truth about it as well.

He Who Must Not Be Named.......2007-06-14
I am a huge fan of Whitehead's first novel (The Intuitionist) and found his second (John Henry Days) flawed but well worth reading. This brief third work of fiction shares the themes of identity of the first book and the framework of the second. As in "John Henry Days", the story follows a polished, semi-hip, professional black New Yorker as he ventures to the hinterlands (here a small Midwesternish town) for a work assignment. It seems he's a specialist in naming products who has been hired to help the town figure out what its new name (if any) will be. As in "The Intuitionist", the plot serves as a canvas for Whitehead to ruminate on race, history, and identity in America.
However, the story is a little elusive throughout and combined with a the slow pacing, it often feels like Whitehead is just kind of noodling or riffing on his scenes and themes. Delivered in his distinctive prose, with plenty of humor, the story unfolds as a kind of allegory or fable. We learn that the protagonist -- who rather pointedly remains nameless -- used a bandaid to "hide the hurt" of a badly stubbed toe, only to have the wound fester and become badly infected. This mirrors the situation of the town, whose name changed from Freedom (per its founding by former slaves) to Winthrop (per the barbed-wire magnate whose invention brought prosperity to the place), and now, possibly, New Prospera (per the dot com which might revitalize the town) -- all of which mask another, darker, lost name. And ultimately, like the infected toe which must be amputated, the troublesome old name can't stay hidden forever. On yet another level, it's clear that the consultant's smooth exterior and bitter running commentary is a bandaid for his insecure, emotionally closed interior.
Satirizing advertising and consumer culture is more or less like shooting fish in a barrel, and while Whitehead does it well, that's fairly secondary to his central concerns of race, history, and identity. The story wraps up in a rather abrupt, anticlimactic manner -- but that's presumably the point. Perhaps somewhat slight and somewhat obvious, but well worth reading nonetheless.
Unexpectedly original work .......2007-05-08
Apex did for me what a good work of art should do: present an original idea in a whole new light. I enjoyed the author's theory that words don't always explain or shed light; they hide, obscure and diffuse clarity. I thought the protagonist was well-drawn and his insights were well presented. All in all, a book for people who enjoy words and the people who are employed to use them.
Whitehead's Best Novel Since "The Intuitionist".......2007-01-30
Colson Whitehead's "Apex Hides the Hurt: A Novel" is a slender, often witty, fictitious look at marketing and the nature of identity as seen primarily from an Afro-American perspective. Stylistically, it is much closer in tone to his first novel, "The Intuitionist" than to his second, "John Henry Days", replete with much of the same crisp, lyrical prose found in his first novel. As such, I regard "Apex Hides the Hurt: A Novel" as a brilliant example of allegorical fiction, in which Whitehead offers a funny, almost hysterical, satirical exploration of marketing. The hero, an Afro-American marketing expert known as a "nomenclature consultant", must find a suitable name for the town of Winthrop, founded by ex-slaves after the end of the Civil War. His encounters with the town's mayor, leading businessman and other citizens are often both hilarious and bizarre, leading our hero on a seemingly fruitless quest in search of the right name as the suitable replacement for Winthrop. No doubt Whitehead's latest will surely please his growing legion of fans.
You Can Bandage But You Can't Hide.......2006-07-02
When I finished this brilliant meditation on naming and essence, I thought about the untold hours that Colson Whitehead (like most of us) must have spent contemplating his own name. Is it a nom de plume? I don't think so, but then what isn't? As Apex Hides the Hurt makes painfully clear, names are temporary things, seldom expressing the essential truth. They hide the hurt, the suppurating wound that will eventually grow into an exotic, diverse company of organisms that requires surgery. Thinking about this wonderful book, images, names, and themes rise not just to the surface but to that apex where the exhilarating overview makes the reader forget disturbing, dislocated, lonely story that has just unfolded. The unnamed nomenclature consultant who narrates the story, a slob to whom names come all too easily, twitches with self-consciousness, casual and defensive cruelty, and a sort of intellectual righteous indignation masked by immersion in popular culture and simple desire for love that he knows he doesn't deserve. He's familiar. He has a great sense of humor, a finger on the cultural zeitgeist, and a voice that makes him as a brother with such illustrious forebears as Mark Twain, Ralph Ellison, Richard Pryor, or Charles Johnson. His bitterness and his honesty are earned; his humor comes from a straightforward glimpse into the dark side of human nature.
The book goes down very easily, like a hip-hop commercial or a poem by Paul Beatty. It an amusing advertising novel, a light version of Toni Morrison's Paradise, a riff on The Great Gatsby, a post-modern sonata about syllables, names, and the human condition. It's mainly funny: you read it with mouth cocked between a sneer (at society, at us) and a grin. I'm eager to go back and read his other two novels.
Self Centered and Disappointing.......2006-05-23
I read Apex Hides the Hurt after hearing part of an interview with the author on NPR. Perhaps if I'd heard the entire interview I would have known better. The field of nomenclaure consultancy sounds intriguing and a good premise to explore how we are influenced by names of products and places. However, the protagonist is an un-named and un-likeable character. His musings do not lead to any enlightening insights, even though the author may think they do. This book's writing is very contrived. I consider this book self-centered and disappointing.

A wonderful start to this series..........2005-09-20
Description from the back of the book:
Wanted: A woman to cook, clean, and wash for seven men.
To penniless, friendless Rose Thornton, the advertisement seemed like an answer to her prayers, and the incredibly handsome man who hired her seemed like a dream come true. But when she first set eyes on her hero's ramshackle ranch in the wilds of the Texas brush country and met his utterly impossible brothers, Rose decided even George's earth-shattering kisses weren't compensation enough for the job ahead of her.
Never in her life had she seen a place more in need of a woman's touch, or men more in need of a civilizing influence. The Randolph brothers were a wild bunch-carving and empire out of the rugged land, fighting off rustlers and Mexican bandits-and they weren't about to let any female change their ways...not until George laid down the law and then lost his heart to the beguiling spitfire who'd turned all their lives upside down.
*This book had non-stop action. It was great & I can't wait to read the next 6. Highly recommended.
AWESOME book!.......2005-05-04
I NEVER read historical romance...until now. This was the best book I have read in a very long time. I am now on number 6 of the "Seven Brides" series. Leigh Greenwood takes you into the hearts and minds of his characters. I came to really care about each one of the characters in this book and could not wait for the next in the series. This is a book worth your time to read.
Rose.......2004-09-19
This book was the first of seven wonderful books once I started Rose I could not put any of them down I read the whole series in 4 days. I laughed and cried right along with the characters. I recomend these books to all my friends. Leigh Greenwood has a wonderful view of wrighting that just pulls you in and keeps you hoping and laughing staight to the end
"ROSE" The start of something Wonderful.......2003-08-01
Rose, If you want a great enthralling series to read this
is it "Seven Brides"
One of My Favorites!.......2000-06-02
This book is one of my favorites of the Seven Brides series. Rose refuses to put up with any guff from 7 men who have been living rough lives for years as cattlemen without any woman around to "tame" them.
In the beginning, she's so spunky, that when the brothers show up for dinner and refuse to wash after a hard, sweaty, dirty day in the saddle, she up and tips the food-laden table over, to show how much she won't put up with any shenanigans.
I just love this book! I'm so glad that the publisher decided to continue to publish the book and make it available to a new set of readers who missed it before.

Book Description
AN EVIL
The creators of the monster called Link once were human, but that was distant ages in their past. Now, from the far future, they have sent their creation back to shape the world of the 6th century AD into the form that will make their own foul existence possible.
Taught and ruled by Link, the Malwa Empire has spread from the Indus Valley, across India and into Mesopotamia. Its inhuman master has chosen its instruments from the most brutal and degraded members of humanity, and they have served its monstrous ends well.
A GUIDE
Those in the future who never were human have sent their own messenger to the past: Aide, a gleaming jewel who can warn but not lead; who can teach the construction of new weapons but cannot wield those weapons himself.
Aide has come to Belisarius, the greatest general of the 6th century and perhaps any century. Between them they have forged an alliance of all the world against evil -- and an army that can be the spear through evil's heart.
A CRUSADE
With lancers and breech-loading rifles, with steamships and with galleys, Belisarius is marching into the Malwa heartland. In a world aflame with treachery, assassination, and slaughter beyond anything save the battles of mythology, he and his companions know only one sure thing: if they fail, their whole world is doomed to living Hell -- for all time!
A VICTORY!
Politics, battle, and heroic adventure in a vivid alternate past!
Customer Reviews:
worst book in series.......2007-05-15
The Belisarius series is often stunningly good. The first 4 volumes were fantastic. This, book 5, is the weak link. It drones on predictably. From the very title to the last page, there is not a bit of suspense. It is a book that could've been whittled down and included in the final volume, the Dance of Time. Book Six (The Dance of Time) is an improvement that manages to save the series, if not quite up to the standard of books 1-4. This volume just should not have been.
T'would be best to have facts straight.......2007-03-24
Four or five reviews before mine (chronologically) an Englishman with dubious facts, one Alan Bales decry's the author's failure to use the term 'clibanarii' in these tales set in the Early Middle Ages -- 532 AD in the middle book. The author's, unlike their critic with his TWO erroneous postings, at least have the right term with the right century and the right Roman Empire.
Clibanarii were a heavy cavalry force of several different eastern civilization's (the Sassanid Empire etcetera), rather like the Cataphract's at the fore in this tale, but more so, as they were more heavily armored. Whether the Persian Empire of the 500's AD used the term is open to question--it dates from two centuries earlier. Thouroughly reasearched -- Cataphracts were properly placed in the milieu by the author's -- both whom have graduate degrees in history, who do note in great detail the heavy nature of the Persian cavalry without giving it a name, and certainly not that of Clibanarii from an much earlier era. Not applying a name which may not have been used in the timeline is typically professional behavior one would expect of any trained historian. To excoriate these two for such care is way over the top.
Like their insights into the polyglot empires and kingdoms of India and feudalism of Iran and non-Iran (Persia), their research, and the entertaining writing is spot on. I suspect their non-use of that term has good grounds -- they've certainly not spared us many an other oddball term or societal detail.
I commend the works to all and sundry. While a tad slow in starting like most epics, it is epic in scope and astounding in the richness of detail effortlessly introduced around the rich characterizations and clever plotlines. Unlike the unfortunate Mr. Bales, I'm very much enjoying my fourth read through it, as it's stimulated my knowledge and reading of the south asian history I'm chagrined to find I studied far too little heretofore. I thank the author's for raising my conscienciousness of my lack and suspect I'll owe them a lifetime debt. The background of the tale is alone worth the price of admission many times over, and I only regret not buying the whole series in Hardcover from the begining. (Which error I'm correcting tonight, I hope, just as soon as I finish this post!)
Oh, and one other thing--the background of the stories, even treated in fiction is, as a stimulus, a great introduction to beginning an elementary understanding that part of the world so much in our contemporary news so frequently. Iran and other Causcasus powers have influenced western history for millennia, and will continue to do so. The region is one where Empires have reigned and shaken events for thousands of years affecting millions, and always outweighing and out numbering the much smaller populations of the West. The peoples of Iran and India see themselves still as great, and remember their empires as well and as fondly as do those of such comparative barbarian upstarts like Napoleonic France and the Victorian era British Empires.
It would be wise to be informed why and what that means, for they will certainly not abandon such an illustrious heritage lightly, nor should they. The industrial revolution is but a blip in the timeline of their many great civilizations compared to which the great empires of the west are but toddlers in comparison.
Great Stuff!.......2007-01-10
Ignore the people who tell you that the series is in decline at this point, and you should skip ahead. This volume is critical to the development of both the plot and several key characters, including a few long-developing threads that will not make sense until well into the final chapters. If you have been following these adventures, you will not be dissapointed by this volume.
As to the death of two familiar characters, which some of the other reviewers have complained about, I can only say that people do die in wartime; that's one of the things that make war something to be avoided. Both events are completely appropriate to what the characters would be doing, and plausible given the risks they were taking at the time. If you only want battle scenes with a Disney-movie morrality (the good guys never die!), you're probably in the wrong series of books anyway.
Where is this leading?.......2004-08-27
I love this entire series and those who say it doesn't adhere to the facts should remember two things: It is fiction and it is an alternate world fiction.
It adheres closely enough to our history to make it interesting. I like the way the story spins off to feature other people and I like the way Bellisaurus is not the only person who is able to think straight.
I do find one drawback with the series. with two people writing it seems they could write a HELL of a lot faster. Where is #6?
5th in a great series !.......2004-06-17
Great, great, great book. I especially enjoy a great series since I sometimes read 2 to 3 books a week. Very engaging, the characters are real and well developed, the plot is very interesting. I generally do not go in for alternate history but this one draws me in for some reason.
The war scenes are done very well in this particular book also. It is fairly sad when one of the major characters dies after a battle.

Book Description
Religious colleges and universities in America are growing at a breakneck pace. In this startling new book, journalist Naomi Schaefer Riley explores these schools-interviewing administrators, professors, and students-to produce the first popular, accessible, and comprehensive investigation of this phenomenon. Call them the Missionary Generation. By the tens and hundreds of thousands, some of America's brightest and most dedicated teenagers are opting for a different kind of college education. It promises all the rigor of traditional liberal arts schools, but mixed with religious instruction from the Good Book and a mandate from above.

An interesting (and somewhat biased) look into religious colleges.......2006-07-06
Prior to starting this book I did not think that I would like it at all; however, I was mistaken. I highly recommend this book for members of the higher education community and those of particular faiths that may be attending college.
"God on the Quad" starts with a rather strange introduction which speaks of "red states" and "blue states" and makes a large number of generalizations about liberals and conservatives that may anger some people. After reading the entire book I could not really determine how the introduction frames (or even relates to) the rest of the book. If you, as a reader, feel that you get offended by political commentary then I recommend you skip the introduction. Starting at chapter 1 the book is worthwhile.
The book starts with a few case studies from various religious colleges: Brigham Young University, Bob Jones University, Notre Dame, St. Thomas Aquinas, Baylor, and a few others. Obviously the faiths of the schools and degree of fundamentalism range from each institution to the next. After the case studies, Riley follows a few themes such as "sex, drugs, and rock and roll," minorities and diversity, and political activism at religious institutions.
The problem I have is that Riley does not hide her biases towards various schools. For example, she writes with a negative voice when writing about Bob Jones University. I truly felt like there was nothing good about Bob Jones University, according to Riley. One reason for this may be because of the way she was treated on the different campuses. I do believe that her research would have been presented better if the biased voice had been removed and equal comparisons had been made.
Another big problem I had with the writing is that Riley makes the assumption that "secular" means "anti-religious" and makes it a strong reoccuring theme throughout the book that secular institutions foster hostile climates for students of faith. While I think she has some merit here, I would've liked to have seen more investigation into this percieved phenomenon. For example, do religious students feel uncomfortable at secular institutions because everyone in their dorm drinks? Or are they uncomfortable because everyone makes fun of them for not drinking? There is a huge difference that would be worth further exploration before actually accusing secular institutions of fostering hostile enviornments when, for the most part, they are trying their hardest to accomodate every single diverse individual.
Finally, this book does provide a lot of insight on why students choose to attend religious colleges and also how religious colleges are expanding and filling a niche in the overall spectrum of higher education.
Misleading title?.......2006-01-18
First, I must say that "God on the Quad" was interesting, but as I read through BYU, Notre Dame, Yeshiva, and others I began to wonder whether Riley was writing for parents looking to find out whether they should send their high school seniors to these schools or if she really was trying to answer "How Religious Colleges and the Missionary Generation Are Changing America". I feel she did have to enlighten others on campus environment, atmosphere, etc, but she did not go far enough into how this generation was going to change America. Like another commenter, I get the feeling she'll have to write another book to get to her original thesis.
The Quad & Beyond.......2005-08-25
Looking forward to a sequel,focusing on how the graduates
of these colleges fared in the "real world" after leaving the
Quad. Otherwise, very interesting and insightful.

Interesting and enlightening.......2005-06-22
A well-written, fair-minded survey of various religious colleges and universities (including my alma mater, "Old" Notre Dame) and how they are grappling with issues of race, gender, political correctness, and other battlefronts in the cultural wars raging in the country. The major focus is on half a dozen schools, including ND, Brigham Young, Thomas Aquinas College (an orthodox Catholic "Great Books" college), Yeshiva, and the "notorious" Bob Jones University, but other institutions are covered as well. Any simple-minded hypothesis you may have formed regarding the "inferior" quality of education at schools with an explicit religious emphasis is sure to be overturned here. (For example, did you know that the hyper-fundamentalist Bob Jones University has a well-regarded art collection? I certainly didn't.) Far from being backwaters laden with hicks and idol-worshippers, these colleges and universities provide some real intellectual "diversity" amidst a sea of sameness, have preserved an air of academic seriousness in an era of increasingly trivialized scholarship, and possess the inestimable advantage of a framework of "shared values" within which to examine the surrounding culture - and change it in meaningful ways.
Slim Pickings or the Start of a Trend?.......2005-03-04
This book contains essential information for parents and for students who are preparing for college and contemplating the scant options out there for a wholesome -- some might say a sane -- environment in which to live and study. I found myself wishing Mrs. Riley had covered several other colleges I've heard about; Grove City College in particular comes to mind. And I'd have appreciated an entire chapter on Wheaton. But with regard to the colleges and universities she does home in on, I learned much that I had wondered about. For example, Mrs. Riley examines the dating scene (or courtship scene, or hooking up scene, as the case may be) in detail and captures the ethos on each campus much more thoroughly than does that other indispensable guide for conservative students, ISI's Choosing the Right College. Although her writing is workmanlike, with occasional small lapses in grammar or diction, Mrs. Riley deserves high praise for the earnestness with which she pursues her subject, for her sense of the interesting questions, and -- with one possible exception, to which I'll return -- for the evenhandedness with which she treats schools of various faiths.
Among the schools she analyzes, Baylor seems to come off best. Interestingly, Baylor is the only subject school in which the administration is attempting a return to religious values that were compromised during the sixties and ensuing decades. The other schools discussed in the book are either still loosening up or have stood firm. Perhaps as a consequence, there is more of a discernible struggle at Baylor to make a place for cultural renewal; yet the code of conduct there appears to be advisory rather than compulsory, and I gather that Mrs. Riley approves. She seems to think that the most successful religious schools need to accommodate the culture to about the extent that Baylor does in order to analyze it or challenge it fruitfully.
Not surprisingly, accommodations in the form of clubs or forums dealing with homosexuality are among the most controversial at religious schools, and Baylor`s position on homosexuality, as cited with approval by Mrs. Riley, is instructive. Although Baylor's president reacted forcefully when the student newspaper advocated same-sex marriage, others in the administration have pointed to a need for greater opportunities for students to examine and discuss homosexuality from various perspectives. I question that. Once "love the sinner, hate the sin" becomes merely one point of view among many, it is a short step to the current Harvard controversy, wherein actress Jada Pinkett Smith has been criticized by the the Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender, and Supporters Alliance because her remarks -- describing her own experiences with marriage, children, and career -- were too "heteronormative." In the end, I prefer the honest response of Thomas Aquinas College to a hypothetical homosexual student: "Then, you have a cross to bear of a more than usually difficult life of chastity." But Mrs. Riley's predilections are subtle. For the most part, she reports -- and reports well -- and we are left to decide.
Mrs. Riley may have given one school short shrift, though. It seems that after she had written a somewhat critical newspaper article about Patrick Henry College, the administrators took offense, warned another college against her, and curtailed her visits. I of course don't know who is right about what -- in a letter to the WSJ, PHC says she visited only two classes and drew unwarranted conclusions; she gives a different account -- but what interests me is that Mrs. Riley concludes on the basis of little or no evidence that the school is anti-Catholic. What actually happened, according to the book, was that a PHC administrator mistakenly assumed on the basis of the biographical information she had provided that Mrs. Riley herself was Catholic, and then suggested that her religion may have led her to an overly critical view of the school. It seems to me that the worst the administrator can be accused of is a lack of tact, or perhaps naivete. I'm left wondering whether Mrs. Riley's pique may have interfered with her analysis in this one instance.
But it's a very good book. There isn't another out there quite like it, to my knowledge.
