Book Description
The “Wicked Pavilion” of the title is the Café Julien, where everybody who is anybody goes to recover from failed love affairs and to pursue new ones, to cadge money, to hatch plots, and to puncture one another’s reputation. Dennis Orphen, the writer from Dawn Powell’s Turn, Magic Wheel, makes an appearance here, as does Andy Callingham, Powell’s thinly disguised Ernest Hemingway. The climax of this mercilessly funny novel comes with a party which, remarked Gore Vidal, “resembles Proust’s last roundup,” and where one of the partygoers observes, “There are some people here who have been dead twenty years.”
"For decades Dawn Powell was always just on the verge of ceasing to be a cult and becoming a major religion." -- Gore Vidal

Satire and Disillusion.......2002-10-16
Dawn Powell (1897-1965) grew up in rural Ohio, but spent most of her adult life in New York City. Although little known during her lifetime, her reputation has blossomed in recent years. "The Wicked Pavilion" is her next-to-last novel. It was written in 1954 and is set in New York City in the late 1940's.
The "Wicked Pavilion" in the novel is the Cafe Julien, on Washington Square in Grenwich Village. It is a haunt for failed artists, lovers, bohemians, mid-towners, and those on the make. The novel centers around three groups of characters: a) a group of three failed artist friends, Dazell, Ben and Maurius and their agents and hangers-on. Much of the story centers upon the apparent death of Marius and the instant celebrity and inflation of his reputation that follows in its wake; b) Rick and Elleanora, on-again off-again lovers who meet and carry on their relationship over the years in the Cafe Julien; c)Elsie and Jerry. Elsie is an elderly woman from a wealthy Boston family who befriends Jerry a struggling model and would -be kept woman who spends a night in a mental institution with prostitutes. The three stories are interrelated, but the plot does not fit together althogether well and is the weakest part of this still excellent novel.
The book is biting precise, well-observed satire. The characters in the book, both male and female, are predominantly people who have come to New York from the Midwest in search of adventure, art, success, a new life -- much as Dawn Powell herself did. The dream of New York as a "happy city" remains but it becomes covered in Powell's work with disillusion, failure, and cynicism. The artists lack talent, the lovers lack passion, and everyone is on the make. Still, at the end of the book, the Cafe Julien is torn down and Powell makes us feel how an era is at an end.
The book begins with a short chapter, an essay in fact, called "entrance" which sets the stage for the disillusion we see in the course of the book. It also sets out, as satire will do, an ideal which the world the book shows us only parodies. Powell writes"
"But there were many who were bewildered by the moral mechanics of the age just as there are those who can never learn a game no matter how long they've been obliged to play it or how many times they've read the rules and paid the forfeits. It this is the way the world is turning around, they say, then by all means let it stop turning, lit us get off the cosmic Ferris wheel into space. Allow us the boon of standing still till the vertigo passes, give us a respite to gather together the scraps of what was once us -- the old longings for what? for whom" that give us our wings and the chart for our tomorrows."
This book gives a picture of a New York City that physically is no longer and perhaps always lived as a vision and ideal. The book is sharp, cutting and funny in its picture of what Powell portrays as a fallen reality.
I Admit It- I Never Heard Her Name!.......2002-03-22
I had never heard of Dawn Powell before- this was the first of her novels that I've read. The New York art scene of the that compelling between war period, is drawn and quartered in this timeless tale of obsession and illusion that is a comic classic of the highest form. I read the book in one and a half sittings and regretted its end. I strongly disagree with those who accuse it of nothing more than a bitchy and bitter novel. I was overcome, at the gentility by which Powell drew the most vulgar and opportunisitic social pariahs with ultimate sympathy and grace. Even the most pretentious social parasite, is awarded a show of dignity, and not a reptilian exit that would have been his due in less compassionate hands. The Cafe Julien, described in the title is modeled on a real artists' haunt in Powell's Greenwich Village. However it is equally every time and every place where humans come apart and remake themselves in that painful custom peculiar to man. It is no less the synagogue of the moneychangers, Balzac's Paris, the Occupied Left Bank, The Storming of Versailles. It could be peculiar to Caesar's or Mussolini's Rome with decadence the perfect counterpart of Brechtian Berlin. For this is how we act, this is what we do; often in the name of art and always, in pursuit of glory. We create and devour, crown and then dethrone, and like the lions, we will honor the new ruler by gobbling our young. In the Wicked Pavillion, some artists die physically and the rest undergo a spirtual death all in pursuit of what cannot be named. Even the timeless Julian is ultimately leveled and as easily forgotten as the woman who once had beauty and now posesses nothing else. Barstools at the Julian were like places at a royal court and equally vain and vicious were the proud patrons who owned them. We witness once committed artists become forgers of their dead comrade's work, postuhumously valuable. Everyone is making out, the would-be intellectual critics and the jackals who own the galleries. Even an ex comes uninvited to a mock remembrance service covered in widow's weeds. The service is taped and reveals nothing more than the vicious remarks made about all in attendance. Everyone is stripped and denuded but none so starkly as the naked, crazy prostitutes locked away on a psych. ward- the fate to which their chic counterparts eventually succumb. But, forget this cautionary blather- read the book for the character Elsie!
She is my newly crowned queen of American characters, a pretender to the throne of female greats held for years by her predecessor, the equally, overbearing British country Dame, Lady Circumference, the infamous peeress in Waugh's,"Decline and Fall." I so love these heavy, plodding females with aristocratic license to bore and command. Boston-bashing Brahmin, Elsie Hookler, is the terror of any hostess, intrusive grand dame, consummately worthy of position in American characters. Readers of Waugh, Wharton, Mitford, Parker, etc.- you know who you are- this is required!
The Gift of Laughter.......1999-11-28
"Born with the gift of laughter and a sense that the world is mad," remarks an anonymous character in "The Wicked Pavilion." That seems like a shard of a micro-self-portrait buried in the book. And can one ever doubt how clear-sighted Powell was about her unique strength? Recently Lorrie Moore took Powell to task in The New York Times Book Review (Nov 7, 1999) for her "point-of-view problems." "'[Her novels] are dart-throwing fiestas,' to borrow one critic's words," said Moore, "'The Wicked Pavilion,' for instance, is on the brittle brink of being mere mood -- mean and elegant, but whose?" Such Jamesian prudence is off-base when confronted with Powell's raucous, near-drunken laughter bellowing from almost every page. (Her razor-sharp wit seems able to better Woody Allan any day! But how many artist-fools can we find in our Entertainment Century who could turn down writing assignments from Hollywood on "Funny Girl" and "The Wizard of Oz"?) Powell's comic vision is unabashedly omniscient and aggressively earthy. "The Wicked Pavilion" is no doubt elegant. If it appears to be acidic, it's also unmistakably warm. Her lyricism at the end of the novel brings to mind her elegant but no less tough-minded predecessor Edith Wharton, for what else is Cafe Julien but Society -- in this context the Glamor-rotten Big Apple of New York -- where all is cloaks and masks and the dreams of love and fame a deadly dart-throwing masquerade? If one finds Powell's caricature of the art world too one-dimensional, her insights about a struggling artist's plights are painfully immediate and ultimately, with the ruins of her life haunting these pages, authoritative. "Being dead has spoilt me," said Marius, the artist who is complicit in the news of his death and witnesses the incredible ascendence of his reputation. At such moments you seem to hear Dawn Powell speaking from beyond the grave. Her voice has survived magnificently, not because she has, like Marius, won "the Grand Immortal Prize of death which opened the gates closed in life" to her, but because it has spoken the unspeakable about human foibles and the necessary lies and illusion of happiness through the mirage of her art.

#3rd IN THE HEARTBREAK Series -- Ethan's story.......2004-11-19
It is so sad that an excellent writer must always have characters with such low moral standards.
Hopping in bed just seems to run through all of these modern day books. Love the stories but the premise that most all have had several bed partners and are willing to forgive such a life is getting a bit wearisome. Sex is not a cure-all.
Now back to Heartbreak, Oklahoma.
With a seven months pregnant Grace Prescott, 25 and very shy and introverted and a 29 year old Ethan James who has been around the block several times, the story is set for another lively? tale.
Neither one feels very good about themselves and both have been looking for love and family. Sheriff Reese Barnett puts in another appearance as Grace's friend.
The twins, Elly and Emma have a few spot appearances and Guthrie Harris finally finds out how he has affected his half-brother Ethan and Olivia has very gently nudged Ethan into realizing he is about to become a father.
Olivia is pregnant also and due about a month before Grace.
Guthrie invites Ethan to use the cabin. Ethan ends up spending his time helping Grace refurnish her home and he tries to draw her out of herself. But can she trust him not to just up and leave? I haven't touched into the heartbreak and emotional trauma that they experience --
Lack of trust and lack of self-esteem runs through the tale but leads to completion of Ethan's story.
Great story and not too heavy wadeing through it - all of the characters make it interesting.
Part and parcel of the Heartbreak stories and a lead-in to THE SHERIFF SURRENDERS #4 -- Reese is back with his own tale.
Sometimes growing up is not easy.......2000-05-11
I always enjoy Ms. Pappano's books and this is no exception. She certainly has expert touch in character studies. Ethan and Grace have a lot to over come, not only with each other but within themselves. Abuse comes in many forms and how it affects each child depends upon the individual. Ethan became wild because everyone expected him to and Grace withdrew into herself and tried to become "invisible". Good read, not just fluff. Message for all. Forgiveness would seem to be the key word...they had to forgive themselves, each other and family. Acceptance comes next. Their row to hoe will not be easy.

Oh Soooo Disappointing.......2005-07-02
I stumbled on Stephanie Laurens Cynster series and fell in love, so being an obsessive type I ordered every book by Laurens that I could find. Yuck. The Bastion Club and the Cynsters are good(although the Cynsters are getting worse as the series goes on) but stay away from anything of hers that was first released by Harlequin! Simple and boring
Enjoyable.......2003-05-15
This is 3 novels that were originally Harlequins released in the U.K.; (1) 'The Reasons for Marriage', (2) 'A Lady of Expectations', & (3) 'An Unwilling Conquest'. They are all Regency romances about the Lester family. I read the 1st one last spring, the story of Lenora the oldest sister & honestly don't remember it all that well. I do remember that although I enjoyed it, it didn't impress me enough to go ahead & start the second one.
Well, maybe I'm just in a different frame of mind, but I totally enjoyed the 2nd one, A Lady of Expectations. It is not really what I expected from SL, but since I was not all that impressed with her 'Once Upon....' books, that's quite alright. This one was a light read, the sensuality was much more subtle but totally enjoyable. The humor wasn't lol funny, it was also subtle - but made me grin often. It did contain the big 'communication problem' & misunderstaning plot - but this one didn't annoy me like most of them do.
I loved Jack (our hero); his determined wooing of Sophie was wonderful. His personality was so easy to fall in love with; although he was totally confused by Sophie's abrupt change of attitude, he still treated her with respect & I just loved the very mature way he handled everyone around him. Sophie was a mature & very responsible lady & with one goofy exception, she also treated Jack with respect & tried to maintain their friendship even when she thought she couldn't possibly marry him.
Also included in the story was a cute side story about Sophie's cousin & her beau, along with a small problem to handle. I do wish that the other 2 Lester's had been a little more prominent in the story, but at least there were a number of secondary characters that added a good touch to the story. I think I'll be putting this one on my keepers shelf. If you can enjoy subtle humor, sweet romance instead of sex, & small problems instead of huge ones, then I believe you'll enjoy 'A Lady of Expectations'.
Writing style is awful.......2003-03-07
I thought this book was awful. I read the first 2 stories and had to give up. Not only were they boring, the dialog was terribly repetitive. Every time the hero said something to the heroine, he finshed with "My Dear". She always smiled "serenely". Facial expressions for both of them were limited to "raising one brow" - which they did over and over and over.
EVery once in awhile I try a new author and more often than not I go scurrying back to Nora Roberts, Catherine Coulter, Suzanne Forster, Elizabeth Lowell, Kristin Hannah, and a few others.
Delightful reissue of three old Harlequin/M&B titles.......2002-06-30
The three novels in this collection were all published by Mills and Boon, the UK imprint of Harlequin, in the mid-90s, and I had actually read them then and noted Laurens as one of the better exponents of the Regency short novel. As a result of re-reading them in this collection I have now ordered her Bar Cynster series; I can only hope that it's as good as these and that she hasn't fallen into the trap of sacrificing sex scenes for historical accuracy.
The collection concerns three members of the same family: the Lesters, who have fallen on hard times. Jack, the oldest and heir to the estates, Harry, and their sister Lenore.
My favourite of the three is The Reasons For Marriage, in which Lenore finds herself the choice of Jason, Duke of Eversleigh. She can't imagine why he's sought her out and wants to marry her, but to Jason it's simple: she isn't a silly debutante, and she understands the demands of running an estate and a large house. She's not interested in spending months on end in London either, so he thinks he can leave her in Eversleigh Abbey while he enjoys himself elsewhere. Lenore agrees eventually, and assumes that there is no chance of love in a marriage like this in which Jason has made his reasons for wanting her so clear. But during an idyllic honeymoon, she begins to hope that perhaps his feelings have changed... And so does Jason, but he lacks the courage to put his feelings into words.
There is some wonderful angst in this book, made even better by the very satisfying lead-up to the ending. I loved it!
Then there's A Lady of Expectations, Jack's story. Jack is no longer poor, but as yet the secret isn't out. He wants to find a bride before all the marriage-minded mamas find out about his new-found fortune and descend on him with predatory intent. One day, out riding in the country, he spies a beautiful young woman with golden hair, and determines to make her his. Sophie is attracted to him too, but her guardian makes it plain to Jack that he is not to rush her. She is to have her Season first, before he ties her down. Sophie, however, believes that the reason he is holding back is that he desperately needs to marry money, and she has none. Some misunderstandings, lots of romance and a degree of sensual tension, and lots of traditional Regency atmosphere - lovely!
Finally, there is Harry's story, An Unwilling Conquest. Harry, having watched Jack walk willingly into matrimony, is determined to stay well away from eligible young women and their matchmaking mamas. So he heads off to Newmarket, only to find himself rescuing a couple of damsels in distress. Lucinda, a beautiful young widow, arouses his protective instincts, and he finds himself, very reluctantly, offering his services to her in the conduct of her business. In fact, not only offering, but insisting! And he can't help finding himself irrestibly attracted to her. Perhaps a discreet affair will do? But then he discovers that he's actually taken her virginity. When he offers to marry her purely as recompense, however, Lucinda rejects him out of anger and hurt. She loves him, but will he ever come to love her in return?
A great Laurens anthology, which is well worth acquiring.
Don't Buy the Same Books Twice!.......2002-04-23
This trilogy contains two books previously published under the title "A Convinient Marriage" back in 1996. Don't buy the same books again! They were so boring, that I actually got more than 20 pages into the first story, before "deja vu" hit me!

Published on the heels of her enthralling memoir, Book of Shadows,Phyllis Curott's second exploration of Wiccan magic, Witch Crafting, delves deeper into the spiritual beliefs and practices of the fastest-growing religion in America. Rather than provide a mechanical course on becoming a witch, Curott wanted to "create an inspiring primer on how to live an empowered, divinely guided, magical life," exploring both the hows and the whys of witchcraft. This substantial volume introduces new practitioners to the techniques and tools of witchcraft, and explains why certain rituals are undertaken. For the experienced practitioner, Witch Crafting encourages deeper spiritual exploration and offers extensive theological discussions about Wiccan practices, past, present, and future. Chapters titled "Divination," "Nature," "Sacred Space," "Witchcraft Without Rules," "Solitary Practice," and "Groups and Covens" are designed to help skilled and new practitioners alike study and perform contemporary acts of magic while examining and developing their own emotions and spiritual beliefs. This is no book of magic potions (although it does supply specific spells and rituals); it's a serious resource for those serious about the fascinating tradition of Wicca. (Ages 14 and older) --Emilie Coulter
Book Description
Phyllis Curott’s first book,
Book of Shadows, was an inspirational, spiritual memoir that chronicled her journey from Ivy League-educated, New York City attorney to Wiccan High Priestess. By inviting readers of all faiths to share in her own personal transformation, Phyllis debunked many of the myths surrounding Wicca and revealed it for what it really is: a spiritual movement whose tenets of Goddess worship and reverence for Nature were a great deal more accessible and familiar than she’d ever expected. In
Witch Crafting, Phyllis digs deep into the practices and principles of Witchcraft to provide a comprehensive guidebook that anyone "novices and seasoned practitioners alike" can use to incorporate the beauty and power of
Wicca into their own daily lives.
Far from being just another mechanical spell book,
Witch Crafting is the first book to offer readers not only the how-to of Witchcraft, but also the why-to, explaining the profound spiritual tenets behind Wiccan techniques. Filled with both traditional and innovative shamanic practices, Phyllis also provides an empowering new definition of magic and
reexamines the ethics under which Witchcraft is practiced, offering a groundbreaking alternative to the Threefold Law. With enchanting stories from Curott’s own experiences,
Witch Crafting will also teach you how to:
• Master the secret arts of effective spellcasting
• Create sacred space and personal rituals
• Perform divinations for spiritual insight and earthly success
• Tap into the power of altered states, such as dreaming, meditation, prayer, and trance
• Keep a magical journal and create your own Book of Shadows ·Keep a magical
Rich with detailed advice for making magic, working with Nature, and finding the Divine within, as well as thought-provoking evaluations of this remarkable spirituality,
Witch Crafting is the special volume that you’ve been searching for. Whether you are a beginner or have been practicing Witchcraft for years, whether you worship in a coven or on your own,
Witch Crafting is the ideal handbook for you, or anyone seeking to unlock the divine power that makes real magic happen and experience the ecstasy, energy, and gifts of the Universe more fully.

For Anyone Who's Not a "Teen Witch".......2007-01-23
I've known about Paganism in general for a while, but recently decided to begin practicing witchcraft. I'm in my 40's and frankly, I am finding it hard to relate to the "teen witch" type of stuff that's out there. "Witch Crafting" is an elegant introduction to the practice of witchcraft. Curott talks about grounding and centering, invoking, banishing, gods and goddesses, etc., but also talks about her philosophy of witchcraft--and this, IMO, should not be considered an advanced subject as some others have suggested elsewhere in these reviews. It seems pretty foolish IMO to be doing spellwork and attempting to commune with gods and goddesses without understanding the deeper reasons for what you are doing.
Curott gives lots of "whys" as well as some basic "hows." Understand that this book is not a grimoire, nor is it an herbal reference--while Witch Crafting offers some basic information in that vein, Curott encourages you to write spells and rituals that are personally meaningful to you. You will need a good herbal reference in addition to this book.
Curott offers a firm, albeit non-traditional foundation. One thing I've discovered about her tradition that I really like is that you aren't locked into working with only one pantheon of deities.
I suggest buying "Witch Crafting" together with Curott's autobiographical "Book of Shadows"--BOS provides a fascinating glimpse into the activities of a working coven. With "Witch Crafting," Curott has given us an intelligently written book that offers both style and substance for aspiring Witches.
Excellent!!!.......2006-08-07
This is a very interesting book. I fully recommend it to anyone looking for "mystical" answers. You may not agree with everything -- and that's OK. But take whatever you get from this book and simply make it yours. Try it. It works.

That one true thing.......2005-04-17
So I'm sitting in my little Witchcraft shop thumbing through this book. I didn't read it because these kind of books aren't my cup of tea. No value judgment, just the facts. BUT, I did manage to hit the brakes on what was perhaps the most refreshing thing I've seen in a mainstream Witchcraft book in a hell of a long time. Our hero Phyllis, bless her, has managed to dump that three fold law crap! Finally a Witch who doesn't buy into that cleverly disguised Christian concept of a punishing deity. I know, I know, that's not really what the three fold law means. Well, yeah it is. As long as there is some force balling things up and throwing them back at you three times over, you've got a judge in heaven. If the three fold law meant anything, the pope wouldn't have lived so long, Ryan White would have lived a lot longer, and George W.'s head would have exploded a LONG time ago. So thanks Phyllis. It's about time.
Very Insightful........2005-03-28
This book is extremely well written. It is intuitive and relaxed. I felt comfortable reading it. I have learned very much from it and have had some of my own ideas validated by Phyllis Curott. It is a very good primer and allows one, even persuades one, to think for themselves. A very fine example of teaching. I don't remember who bought this book, my wife or myself, but I found it on one of our bookshelves and haven't put it down since. The more I learn, the more I want to learn. What better inspiration can a writer or teacher convey to a student?
The book I would have written.......2005-03-24
Phillis Curott is an excellent writer with an easy to read style that makes concepts that would be difficult for beginners easy to digest. I am no beginner, but I was once and I know that I would have welcomed her writing.
A really great thing about this book is that it is not yet another compendium of spells and potions and herbs, etc. These books exist ad infinitum and if you read any two Wicca 101 books you've read them all. I am certain that many of you reading this who have purchased many books on Wicca will agree with me. This book is a book about the spiritual dimension of Wicca, its metaphysics and why Wiccans do what they do. Don't worry, Phyllis is not saying that her way is the only way. In fact, she admits that there is no way to really get Wicca wrong and that you are supposed to come to your own understandings.
Phyllis is a bright star on the Wiccan horizon and will, if she maintains the quality of her writing and the knowledge she imparts will, in short order be one of the true luminaries of Wiccan writing specifically and magickal writing in general.
If you want to deepen your spirituality, your relationship with the God and Goddess, read this book and let its ideas pass into you to inspire you. Sometimes, just sometimes someone who possesses the title of High Priest or High Priestess actually, through their apparent knowledge and expertise has actually earned the title.
Buy this book! Buy it new, buy it used, just buy it and support authors who write books that are more than mere tables of correspondences and alphabetical listings of various divinities.
