Book Description
These fourteen short stories, written over the past ten years but never before collected, deal with the struggles between mothers and their wayward daughters, the often preposterous bonds that tie men and women together, and the complex games masters and servants play with one another. In spare, elegant prose, Freed delivers surprise after surprise as she shakes the truth from life. Whether it's her portrayal of a mother mired in senile dementia in "Ma," a young girl experiencing her first sexual encounter with an itinerant knife-sharpener in "Under the House," or a young woman incapable of loving conventionally in "An Error of Desire," Freed portrays the absurdity, the delusions, the dramas, and the dignity of her characters' lives. These masterful stories reinforce her reputation as one of our most fearless and sophisticated explorers of sexual and filial love.

Freed at her best.......2007-07-09
Dripping with language distilled down to fire water, Lynn Freed delivers here a collection of brilliant short stories, everyone raw and poignant. Whether the tale of the young woman molested by the traveling knife sharpener or the widow's daughter overwhelmed by the power and allure of her sexuality, or the narrator of the title story struggling with her attraction to all the wrong sort of men, each tale proves crafted with the care for which Freed is famous. As with many of her novels and short stories, each of these deals with issues faced by women, mostly sexual or emotional, that can dog the psyche for life.
As with most of her other work, most of these tales take place in Freed's native South Africa, a world in which she is both conflicted and achingly familiar. Yet it is not the milieu from which they derive their power, though her every detail stands as both telling and artfully selected. Instead the great power of Freed's work comes from her characters, each crafted as if by a sculpture, expert in his tools, chipping away every bit of excess to reveal the art within.
secrets and confessions.......2007-02-11
Lynn Freed's collection of short stories "The Curse of the Appropriate Man" reads as though one is sitting in a room with many women and each one is offering her confession, a deep secret, which is meant only for you, the reader. Only you will understand and not judge. Only you can be trusted. As such, it reads with great honesty and there is nothing I enjoy more in writing than honesty.
The most striking of the stories for me is "The Widow's Daughter"--a tale of a beautiful girl whose mother refuses to pay a dowry for her daughter. The awful, lecherous father dead, the two women are left to make their way. It seems the mother always used the daughter to gain favor and continues to do so even after the death of her husband, the mother, thus marginalizing her daughter, seeing her not as a human being but as an object. As such, she starts to look at her daughter through the eyes of a man. In the end the two women are left alone as they were in the beginning. Their future is uncertain, though Irma, believes the writing is on the wall--that she will escape.
Freed's stories are masterful in their simplicity. There is nothing superfluous and "The Curse of the Appropriate Man" is a smooth and elegant collection, pulling together many cultures, many times, many places, yet leaving the reader feeling as though she has heard one consistent song--that of a woman looking for her place in the world.
Don't judge the book by its cover or by Freed's novelist career.......2006-05-16
Freed, an accomplished novelist, has released a collection of 14 stories which were written over the course of two decades and were previously unpublished. At its core, this collection is about the secret desires (or compulsions, if you prefer that terminology) of women. These desires influence the actions that define the lives of women, from a curious pre-adolescent engaging in sexual relations in the basement of her family home, to paralyzing confusion and homesickness of a high school exchange student, to a complex web of family shadows, and to an abusive relationship between two lesbians.
The novel's beautiful cover and subtle prose are wrapped around a core content which is quite erotic and unconventional, in the manner of alternative lifestyles. It's nothing like the smarmy love stories I expected to read, so from that angle, it was refreshing. While I did enjoy reading these stories, they aren't without their flaws, and this book doesn't make it on to my "must-read" list. If you are intrigued by my description, though, it is most likely perfect for you.
One sentence propels this from 4 to 5 stars.......2004-09-14
At last, a collection of stories from the preeminent female novelist of our day. Freed is an author who goes straight into the world's landscapes, both interior and exterior. You can have your Morrisons and your Smileys and your Gordimers, Lynn Freed is the most fearless contemporary female writer at work today. In any language. And this book serves as proof.
Make no mistake, Freed is a better novelist than short story writer, and there are one or two stories in this collection that don't live up to the rest. However, those stories would be flagships in any one else's collection. So as I prepared to award four stars to this collection, I looked the book over again and came across a line in the story "An Error of Desire" that made it obvious why this is a five-star book: "There is love and there is desire, I thought, and for all the world they look the same until all the desire is spent." Freed is a writer with a rare brilliance that shows itself in her humor, her syntax, and her understanding of the devil and the saint in each of us.

Book Description
Vlad Taltos, short-statured, short-lived human in an Empire of tall, long-lived Dragaerans, has always had to keep his wits about him. Long ago, he made a place for himself as a captain of the Jhereg, the noble house that runs the rackets in the great imperial city of Adrilankha. But love, revolution, betrayal, and revenge ensued, and for years now Vlad has been a man on the run, struggling to stay a step ahead of the Jhereg who would kill him without hesitation. Now Vlads back in Adrilankha. The rackets he used to run are now under the control of the mysterious Left Hand of the Jhereg a secretive cabal of women who report to no man. His ex-wife needs his help. His old enemies arent sure whether they want to kill him, or talk to him and then kill him. A goddess may be playing tricks with his memory. And the Great Weapon hes carrying seems to have plans of its own. Picking up directly where Issola left off, Dzur is Vlad Taltos at his bestcrackling, swashbuckling adventure fantasy with edge.
Customer Reviews:
Not Free SF Reader.......2007-09-03
Dzur takes place literally hours after Issola. Vlad has not had much time to adjust to his new great weapon, when Marion drops in for dinner. A little bit of a surprise to go with Sethra sending him a Lavode Dzurlord bodyguard to help him out.
His feelings for his ex-wife again get him into trouble as he feels his must help her out against both branches of the Jhereg.
Lurking in the background is the demon goddess Verra and her plans for Vlad.
At the start of every chapter of this book is a discourse on food and emotion, told by way of a description of the meals Vlad has been indulging in at Valabar's.
Brust does it again!.......2007-09-01
It is hard to believe that a series of books has kept my attention through 10 books. Yet that is exactly what Brust has done. Every time a new book comes out I go back and reread the entire series up to that point. I read the first ones back in the 80's in high school as they came out, and I thought that the Character of Vlad Taltos was the coolest. He is a member of House Jehreg and a sometime assassin. Vlad once read quickly becomes an immensely popular protagonist. I have introduced these books to numerous friends and all have loved him and the books.
Issola, in the book before Dzur Vlad, is wandering around the countryside with a price on his head, and lamenting about how his life got so turned upside down. Vlad in Dzur, gets to do what he likes best- he starts stirring things up and seeing where the pieces fall.
One of my favorite elements of this series is that you never know how Brust will start chapters off. Each book has had chapter headings in a new and unique way. In the one book it was quick wit "No matter how subtle the wizard a knife between the shoulder blades will seriously cramp his style." In another it is a list of cleaning and repairs to an outfit. In this one it is a recollection of a meal at Valabar's - a restaurant that makes appearances throughout the series. If Brust is able to create the meal described in these snippets he is not only a master wordsmith but must be close to a master chef.
Brust had Vlad come back to the capitol city because his estranged wife is in trouble. He rushes in where angels would fear to tread. He steps into the middle of a power struggle with organized crimes' two sides of the family. He fears getting friends killed or injured, but is more than willing to risk his own neck. However, as Vlad is getting older, he is also mellowing some and maturing.
Vlad realizes that he cannot do it himself. He challenges his patron Goddess to help as much as she can. He also enlists the help of some of those who have offered, but warns them not to take too many risks. Vlad is a little more subdued and subtle in this book compared to some of the earlier ones. However he is just as enjoyable as a character and the journey with him through the adventure in Dzur is as exciting and thrilling as the previous books.
Like the meal described at the beginning of the chapters, Brust's books need to be savored and enjoyed at the pace they come at us. Just as Vlad describes the meal step by step and makes comparisons between preparing a meal and preparing a hit, Brust leads us to discover more and more about Vlad as we go through the courses in this book.
Like each of the previous 9 books in this series, Jhereg (1983), Yendi (1984), Teckla (1987), Taltos (1988), Phoenix (1990), Athyra (1993), Orca (1996), Dragon (1998), Issola (2001), and I'm sure, the forthcoming Jhegaala (2008) this book is a great read. The series is planned to be a total of 19 books, making this one the middle point as far as volumes. It leaves a lot of questions unanswered and the readers salivating for the next volume.
(First Published in Imprint 2007-08-31 as "Series still captivates after 10 books.")
Great Series continues.......2007-06-29
I'm addicted. I admit it and I was absolutely delighted that Vlad returned. To really appreciate it first go back and reread the series, I'd be surprised if you didn't pick up on loads of things you'd missed the first time.
It makes it even better.
I've just reread it for the third time and enjoyed it very much.
Brust is a weaver, he has threads in this that go way back and he somehow knows how all those threads come together in the future.
He is working on another Vlad too, perhaps next we will discover who is the goddess that is Vlad's Mom? Hmmmm?
Or who exactly is Kragar?
Will Vlad end up running the Organization after all?
A great series and highly recommended.
"Boss, you aren't as stupid as everyone says you are".......2007-06-05
I'm not sure how long it was been since there was a new story of Vlad Taltos's antics in the city of Adrilanka, but Dzur was a welcome sight when I first saw it on the stands. Brust has created an alternate fantasy world that combines a dash of Cetlic with a large spoonful of northern European to create tales of a human making his not so legal way through life in a city where the Dragaeran (think Fay Folk if you will). It is a society ruled by clans and Vlad has succeeded by allying himself Jhereg (think Thief's Guild). Unfortunately nothing lasts, and previous to this book Vlad made several deadly mistakes that caused his hasty exit from Adrilankha. But not it's time to turn the tables, and Vlad is back, and just as sarcastic as ever.
This is a story of tidbits. It's as if Brust had a lot of catching up to do and needed to write an entire novel to reset the scenes. Things have changed in the city of Adrilankha since Vlad left. His businesses have been swept up by other members of the Jhereg, in particular, the Left Hand, a group of women who are quite capable of administering deadly force when they feel it necessary. Vlad's presence is likely to make them feels it's necessary. And Cawti, Vlad's `ex' is in a bit of trouble and Vlad's need to be a hero overcomes his good sense. Old friends and even more old enemies. And maybe even a goddess.
I like Brust for his narrative and the bantering style he uses in his dialog. Plot serves less purpose in a Brust story on the general theory that everything is OK as long as something is happening. Unfortunately, very little actually happens in Dzur, and the reader will leave the story with even more questions than there were coming into it. Yes, this is a serious weakness, but for an addict like me the book was still good entertainment. Since Brust has left more room for sequels than there are clans left to go I expect that future volumes will quickly settle down to having better continuity. In the meantime, welcome back to Adrilankha.
very worth-while, entertaining.......2007-05-26
Interesting flow through the book. I still think Jhereg is his best. This one is definitely worth the time.

Comevacas y tizna(d)os reconstruye, por la vía de la historia documental y oral, el escenario social de una rebelión campesina ocurrida en el pueblo de San Sebastián del Pepino en 1898, misma que fue secuela directa de la Invasión Norteamericana y las consecuencias económicas originadas y agravadas or la Guerra Hispano Americana. López Dzur nos da una pintura de la influencia que dejara el movimiento anarcosindical y libertario peninsular y las injusticias y desigaldades inherentes a un régimen colonial, cuyo liderazgo local aún representa los intereses del caciquismo conservador.

Book Description
... cuarenta y cinco relatos sobre la realidad íntima y social de la opresión y el colonialismo... El título «El corazón del monstruo» alude a una frase del Apóstol Cubano de la Libertad José Martí cuando comentara la codicia político-expansionista del Aguila del Norte, la explotación económica y las modalidades de alienación obrera y humana que presenció en New York. «Conozco el monstruo porque he vivido en sus entrañas». Carlos López Dzur, a través de 45 cuentos, nos describe ese monstruo externa e íntimamente y lo contrapone a la bondad posible, aún remanente entre sus víctimas. Lo ubica en momentos subjetivos y en instituciones, donde la lucha y la esperanza forcejean en aras de sobrevivirse. Sexualidad reprimida (# 11,17, 30) y desbordada (18, 24, 31, 33, 43), la violencia verbal y física (4, 7), la niñez autodestructiva (34, 35) o en riesgo (26, 38, 45), la desilusión místico-religiosa (5, 6, 37, 43), alcoholismo, neurosis y nihilismo (21, 36), egoísmo e instinto de acaparación (14, 20, 22, 32, 41, 44), desenfreno social (38, 39), el derrumbe colonial (15, 40), la trivialización de la política (19, 27), el entreguismo y la falsa consciencia (25) son temas contrapuestos a la nostalgia de lo local, auténtico y comunitario (3, 12) y la búsqueda de una ética, areito y diálogo (1, 9, 16, 23, 28, 29, 40) que permita, con sentido histórico y existencial, el análisis de los riesgos que confronta la libertad.

From the supplier: Contemporary pluralists have argued liberalism is not compatible with pluralism, yet this position is untenable. Pluralism is neither a viable political theory nor a sufficiently strong critique of liberalism. Prioritizing individuality and equality, as liberalism does, will create a state hospitable to the widest development of human values.

Book Description
The Year is 2190. China has once again become a world unto itself and this time its only boundary is space . . . The world is City Earth, ruled by the Seven, China's new kings. Beautiful, controlled, sensual, this high-tech society is rushing toward war between the forces of West and East, between the rebels who hunger for change and the overlords who demand stability, between the very powers of darkness and light. It will be an era of violent conflagration destined to expose the basest elements of human nature . . . and the highest dreams. An epic that draws us into an alternative world so real, so complete that we become denizens of the new Middle Kingdom, touched by longings we never imagined. . . driven by forces as ancient as man's first breath. Not since Asminov's Foundation books and Herbert's Dune has there been such a majestic and powerful vision of a believable other world. . . seductive, chilling, unforgettable!

NOT Sci-Fi. Rather it is hard-core Political Fantasy-Porn........2007-07-29
NOT Sci-Fi. Rather it is hard-core Political Fantasy-Porn.
Seriously, I was not expecting this.
Its one thing to write about an alternate possibility of the world and to present it in a science-fiction or a fantasy story. But this is not it.
I was NOT expecting to read detailed hardcore violating porn in the middle of these stories. The first incident completely ambushed me, and I didn't bother to continue to read to see if there was a second.
The book went in the trash.
I'm sure there are better authors who can tell an interesting alternate political story of the world, with stooping to what this author does.
I mean come on, Stephen Kings novels are part Science-Fiction too, but they are put in the Horror section. This should have been in the Porn section of the bookstore.
Absolutely Vile - AVOID!!!.......2007-07-28
After I read this book I wanted to scrub out my brain.
Why? Because of the many thousands of books that I've read in my life, Chung Kuo was the sickest and most vile. I'm open-minded, but Mr. Wingrove's joy in sex-torture is truly sociopathic. Words fail me.
This was the worst book I've ever read in my life. I can only assume that those who compare Wingrove to Isaac Asimov and Frank Herbert (as the blurb on the back suggests) have never READ Asimov or Frank Herbert. Either that, or they are seriously, seriously confused. And I'm being charitable in my choice of words.
Wingrove is a mediocre stylist, his characters are all unappealing and flat, and the plot is awkward at best. But all of that is secondary. This is simply a vile book, and I hope that anyone considering it will move on to something better - such as the Foundation or Dune series (with the caveat that the Dune series should NOT be considered to include anything written by Frank Herbert's talentless son Brian). Or, if you really want to read Chinese- or Asian-themed fiction, why not read the wonderful science fiction of Cordwainer Smith? I'd also recommend the ancient China fantasies of Barry Hughart. James Clavell's Shogun is also far superior to the execrable Chung Kuo.
Life is far too short to read a twisted piece of garbage like this.
Science Fiction Book of the Century?! Maybe..........2006-01-08
Underappreciated science fiction masterpiece; on par with Dune or Foundation. Probably the most ambitious exercise in imaginative world-creation ever attempted; Wingrove manages to pull it off with ease. But what really sets Chung Kuo apart is that it is so entertaining while still grappling with important religious, social, historical and philisophical issues. Jump in, and be prepared for a wonderful ride that you will not soon forget.
Interesting but Possibly Flawed Premise.......2003-10-15
Okay, ditto everyone's glowing reviews -- so I'd like to just critique the premise of this whole series. Historically, Chinese rule has meant peace and prosperity. This series uses a kind of Yellow Peril sentiment as a premise, but the historical record thus far shows that so peaceful and prosperous had the Middle Kingdom been that Europeans were able to mercilessly exploit Chinese complacency and self-satisfaction. For example, the Chinese invented gunpowder, but had no real military use for it since they were the strongest power by far in Asia, and save for border barbarians every so often, everyone was at peace, relative to Europe during the same epoch. Another example is the fact that the Chinese were the first to make grand sea voyages of discovery to Africa, under the Muslim admiral Zheng He, and unlike later European sails, these ships were truly on good-will missions -- their objective had not been to plant flags, but simply, a la Star Trek's Enterprise, to boldly go where no Chinese subject had gone before!
One last note along these lines: no less a person than Theodor Herzl, widely honored as the Father of Zionism, pointed very specifically to the fact of general Imperial Chinese peace, enlightenment, and meritocracy, such that Chinese Jews had totally assimilated into the wider Chinese population out of all physically distinct characteristics -- so tolerant were the Chinese of other faiths -- as a reason for establishing a uniquely Jewish state (to wit: not only was the survival of World Jewry threatened by pogroms in hostile communities).
So, if anything, Chinese rule in the future should prove just as enlightened as it had been in the past! Which is to say, all the bloody melodrama founding the premise of Wingrove's series of vaguely Yellow Peril Science Fiction (or Speculative Fiction -- take your pick of labels) is very much flawed. Again, I liked this book well-enough, but I was a little disappointed at Wingrove taking the easy way out (I mean, anybody can simply imagine an extension of comtemporary Chinese authoritarianism into the future -- more interesting is how China, say, could become a true "Middle" Kingdom again, given its many, many problems now, and how science and technology might be involved in such a development...).
A must have.......2003-04-18
Take the chance and embark on a long journey with David Wingrove. You will not be let down. Problem is, you will see nothing of your friends or family for the next three months.
But, that is what you are looking for in a book, isn't it?
Book Description
This book, the second of the two volumes that make up Religions of Rome, presents a wide range of documents illustrating religious life in the Roman world from the early Republic to the late Empire (both visual evidence and texts in translation). More than just a "sourcebook," it explores some of the major themes and problems of Roman religion (such as sacrifice, the religious calendar, divination and prediction). Each document has an introduction, explanatory notes and bibliography, and is used as the starting point for further discussion.

Book about Romans, by Romans.......2004-07-28
This book (volume 2 of a 2 volume work) is an excellent selection of passages writen by Romans and their contemporaries about Romans and their religions. Each translation is preceded by a short description of the context of the passage, and references. Included are paragraphs from books, quotes from lost works, inscriptions from monuments, publicly posted legal announements, and grafitti.
It was a breath of fresh air for me, since the contemporary source material in this subject is so sparse that most books on ancient religion are a doubtful parade of their authors' opinions. And although the passages from ancient writers are laden with their opinions, with the help of the editors of 'Religions of Rome, vol II' it's obvious and once exposed, revealing.
Always Pleasing.......2003-05-29
Religions of Rome, volumes I &II by Doctors Beard, North and Price is an invaluable work that is a necessity for any student of Classical Civilization, as the Oxford Classical Dictionary and H.H. Scullard's Festivals and Ceremonies of the Roman Republic. Throughout my years of study in the university, I have come to rely upon the work as a base for any research that I would embark upon. In this vein, I have to state that the exhaustive Chicago footnotes and bibliography are of extreme help when one needs to seek further primary and secondary source materials. In terms of the book's writing, I declaim with confidence that this is one of the few works to be written by committee and is better off for its. The text reviews subject matter in detail while remaining concise with subject matter placed into collection via topic related to epoch. Again, this work is the basis of any Classicist library and shall serve one diligently thought out one's life.
