Let's say.......2006-01-12
if Thomas Mann had collaborated with William Burroughs and they together wrote the Magic Mountain on amphetamines, it perhaps would have turned out something like INSATIABILITY.
Transcendentally Discombobulating.......2005-08-14
One of the greatest avant-garde novels
ever! Very recommended for the deviantly
adventurous.
Subservience of Perfection.......2001-08-24
Insatiability is one supreme novel. The time between the wars was an interesting one in Central Europe, and a great deal of truly great literature appeared or was conceived then. Broch and Musil reigned in Austria, writing their masterpieces which were virtually unknown. Celine wrote his monumental work in France. Doblin experimented in Germany and Poland had both Witkiewicz and Gombrowicz fashioning their fascinating work. Insatiability is, like Gombrowicz' 'Ferdydurke', Musil's 'The Man Without Qualities', Celine's 'Journey', Broch's towering 'The Sleepwalkers' and Mann's superior books, a philosophical novel of enormous dimensions and proportions. It is a fantastical novel, darkly utopian, in which Europe is under a fascistic regime while a Russian revolution dominates that country, and everyone is faced with a Chinese invasion. The leaders in a seemingly invincible Poland succumb to an unusual new drug religion, 'Murti Bing', and in the end surrender to the Chinese. The hero of the novel is Genezip Kapen. His adventures are in the main sexual and philosophical. Witkiewicz uses him to expound his own theories--serious and not so serious--and he goes far afield in doing so. Peopled with a vast assortment of unusual characters, the novel is always interesting, and generally engaging. Witkiewicz does not seem to take himself or his ideas all too seriously, and so in some senses this book is a tonic compared to the general 'novel of education' of the time. He paints and splatters a broad canvas in this novel that could as easily be termed 'dystopian science fiction' as well as a moral or philosophical reference. The philosophy is peculiar but certainly interesting (if only for its bizarreness). Witkiewicz, a talented artist who gave up painting, also argues about the impotence of language, the inadequacy of fiction, rejecting his undertaking while creating such a huge work. It is thoroughly entertaining, but it is an eccentric novel, from a different time and context. A true intellectual, Witkiewicz' thoughts on the many hundreds of subjects he raises are interesting and interestingly expressed. It is a bit of a grand labyrinth, and certainly will not be to everyone's taste, but I highly recommend it. It is an important novel, and an engaging one. It is worth the considerable effort required...
THE FEASTINGs OF THE INSATIABLEs.......2001-06-10
INSATIABILITY, a futuristic, expressionistic, demonomaniacal novel of extremes, records beneath an overwhelming avalanche of thrilling philosophical debate, the tortured comings-of-age of NOT just a young man beautifully blooming into bonafide manhood,( via initiatory sexual debauch, heady doses of ritual drug-use, and an above average nihilism )but charts in the midst of its explorations the becomings of an exemplary monstrous candidate capable of being a leader of men, yet equably capable of being an insane nobody, all the while constantly risking absurdity, and far be it from me to assault the possibilities of giving away the end of such a great work to those it will hold captive for its own. More than any novel (which its author,"WITKACY", has dubbed a "body-bag" he correspondingly fits the reader into with subtle skill) INSATIABILITY affected me to an alarming degree and, in a very definite sense has shaped the monstrous person I have become over the course of the past 10 years. Had I been granted foreknowledge the effect such a rare work of art would have had on me I cannot say with imputiny I'd have so willingly and Insatiably devoured it,(tearing myself out of the confines of the body-bag) as I have done so repeatedly since that first miraculous time I gave up my Literary virginity to its frightening wiles. And I am sure I will return to that accursed book forever with the dedication of a crushed and powerlessly fascinated lover for the rest of my life, even under the futile threat of adultery, so well has it taught me the INSATIABILITY of the human condition.
Let this confessionary review stand as a warning to young influential readers and as a testament to the undeniability of this novels strange powers which I've no doubt will work its fascinations on seekers of great and experimental literary works for centuries to come. How such an immense secret of a work as profound as Witkiewicz's INSATIABILITY has held its breath for so long can only give multiple births to conspiracy theories. When this novel breaks its silence it will be as if a ravenous serial-killer were loosed in your hometown.
I cannot recommend a greater novel in all literary history, of which I am an dedicated adventurous servitor; yet I do so warily, all too well aware of the repurcussions that may be heaped upon me for abandoning moral principles in spreading out the darkness so many have actually thought was the light.
SADLY, AN OVERLOOKED CLASSIC.......2000-01-13
One of the greatest exploratory novels ever written; far, far ahead of its time. Witkiewicz is one of the unknown geniuses of the modern novel and his life and work should serve as a model of inspiration and emulation by those seeking to further themselves creatively and philosphically in their own work

The Body Economic: Life, Death, and Sensation in Political Economy and the Victorian Novel
ASIN: 0226278549 |
Book Description
What is the relationship between our conception of humans as producers or creators; as consumers of taste and pleasure; and as creators of value? Combining cultural history, economics, and literary criticism, Regenia Gagnier's new work traces the parallel development of economic and aesthetic theory, offering a shrewd reading of humans as workers and wanters, born of labor and desire.
The Insatiability of Human Wants begins during a key transitional moment in aesthetic and economic theory, 1871, when both disciplines underwent a turn from production to consumption models. In economics, an emphasis on the theory of value and the social relations between land, labor, and capital gave way to more individualistic models of consumerism. Similarly, in aesthetics, theories of artistic production or creativity soon bowed to models of taste, pleasure, and reception.
Using these developments as a point of departure, Gagnier deftly traces the shift in Western thought from models of production to consumption. From its exploration of early market logic and Kantian thought to its look at the aestheticization of homelessness and our own market boom, The Insatiability of Human Wants invites us to contemplate alternative interpretations of economics, aesthetics, and history itself.

A book for our times.......2007-02-02
Gagnier has brought together in this volume a very singular argument that is much needed in contemporary discourse with its increasing specialization and consequent (unfortunate) ignorance of fundamental concerns for each discipline. Economics and aesthetics were inseparable for Kant and Smith. With this fundamental acknowledgement Gagnier sets out to trace the history of their divorce and the unfortunate consequences that followed. Jacques Derrida was in his rather unique way of presenting his thought, the first to point out the radical importance of Kant's Critique of Judgment (Parergon) in bridging the gap between the previous critiques (pure and practical reason). Judgment as a "bridge" (the metaphor belongs to Kant) connected the supersensible and phenomenal, the theoretical and the practical. Gagnier here sets out on a mission to regain that original project. One might call it academic "bridge" but it is no game (there's ample criticism of this kind of economical thought in the book). Gagnier is acutely aware of the ramifications of the thesis for the utopian side of nineteenth century writers and she explores what happens when society does not "get it."
Gagnier works at the margins of intense academic scholarship and attempts to work between Victorian studies (with the legacy of unresolved problems Victorianists explore on a routine basis) and the larger concerns of economics. She shows how both have always influenced each other based on their common ancestry. The larger focus of the book is to show how these seemingly microscopic problems (Victorianists are increasingly concerned with economic criticism, economists with literature) are actually all around us. Whatever the problems one might find in the book's seemingly endless construction of bridges between the Victorians and contemporary economics, she deserves highest praise for her remarkable efforts. Each chapter may be found published in an array of academic journals as book reviews, essays, etc. What is unique is Gagnier's arrangement in this volume. The price of the book in my opinion is very economical and should be on any student's bookshelf.
Problems there are, both for Victorianists and economists reading this book. In particular, she does not update some of the rudest reductionist readings of Vernon Lee and Grant Allen, but prefers to place them both under one problematic of post-1870 consumer economics (I refer to the effects of the Marginalist Revolution in economics, Jevons, Walras, and Menger). This is an error and unfortunately helps to perpetuate stereotypes about late nineteenth century Victorians that scholars are presently working on discharging. Our increasing knowledge about Vernon Lee in particular makes it difficult to accept all of her thought under the banner of "psychological aesthetics." Grant Allen's "physiological aesthetics" must also be understood in terms of his self-identification as a "radical." To lump psychological and physiological aesthetics under the same rubric distorts rather than clarifies our knowledge of these intellectuals. Nevertheless I mark it off as one of the consequences of republishing material that was written for a rather different reading audience and not updated for the present volume. I am not saying that she does not stand by her original statements (obviously she does) but merely that recent scholarship has pointed in the direction of revision.
Saying that, I am still astounded by the sheer brilliance of Gagnier's intellectual scaffolding. I don't think that it is possible to esteem her efforts higher. The Insatiability of Human Wants will be the focus of much debate ironically returning us to the site where Kant and Smith began. A spot Gagnier will forever be welcoming us to explore.
interesting idea, but not well executed.......2005-02-08
I liked the idea behind this book, and for a few pages I was agreeing with the jacket blurb that described it as the first history of economic thought with new and original insights. But the book does not deliver the goods. The author needed a co-author with a much better understanding of the history of economic thought than hers: she is applying her obviously broad expertise in aesthetics with a very superficial reading of the economic classics.
Furthermore, the quality of the book declines after about the midpoint. The book is a collection of revised academic papers, and there is nothing wrong with that -- they are tied together pretty well. But the last couple of chapters are quite superficial rants on the state of the US, the UK, and other market economies: a summary of the savings and loan crisis here, a discussion of homelessness taken from some San Francisco Chronicle articles there.
I hope Professor Gagnier will find a good economist co-author and give this topic another try.

Enjoyed this book.......2006-02-07
I felt this book was much better than the first one. It kept me reading because I just had to know how it turned out. This book finds Tanaquil still journeying. She ends up meeting with her half sister and finds she is not the same girl that she knew. From there she sees battles, a new world and a love she cannot claim.
War, Plagues, Star Crossed Lovers...to Begin With.......2003-08-31
Tanaquil has had the time of her life traveling and seeing all the wonders of the world for herself. But, as she begins to near her homeland, she hears rumors of horrible wars and a mad empress bent on conquering the world. Tanaquil fears for her mother and her half sister and heads straight for enemy territory in order to reach them...only to be captured by the empress' forces.
But that is not the worst, not by far, for, when Tanaquil is brought before the empress, who should it be but her own sister, Lizra! And Lizra has no intention of letting Tanaquil go. Lizra has had built a giant golden unicorn that will bring fear to the hearts of her enemies, but it will not work. She knows that Tanquil has an uncanny talent for mending things, so she commands Tanaquil to fix her unicorn. And Tanaquil does...against her better judgment.
Now the unicorn is destroying cities and slaughtering many. Tanaquil is sick over her part in Lizra's war, but she cannot leave...for she has fallen in love with Honj...who just happens to be the future husband of Lizra. How can they ever be together when a madwoman controls them...a madwomen they both care for...
This book is the sequel to Black Unicorn and equally as good as the first.
Love this trilogy!.......2002-12-27
Great light read! Though not as good as the black unicorn, the gold unicorn is still a enchanting read.
Quite enjoyable.......1999-11-05
Tanith Lee displays her usual inventiveness in Gold Unicorn; the result is a very satisfactory sequel to Black Unicorn.
While not, in my mind, quite as enjoyable as the first one, Gold Unicorn nonetheless remains a well-crafted fantasy in a creative and unusual world. Darker than its predecessor, Gold Unicorn explores Tanaquil's struggles between loyalty to her half-sister Lizra, now the dreaded conquerer, and her own belief that the ideal world her sister strives for cannot be achieved by war. Added are several complications-- a massive mechanical gold unicorn Lizra has ordered Tanaquil to fix for her war campaign, the mischievous peeve, stinging mousps (a magician's creation formed of mice and wasps), Honj, the enigmatic consort of Lizra...and a hell world to parallel the perfect world Tanaquil saw in the last book.
Obviously some people won't appreciate this book, but to those who enjoy Tanith Lee's particular style, Gold Unicorn is the perfect way to spend an afternoon.
Good Sequel, Well Worth Reading.......1999-10-27
Really, the sequel is very, very good. There are still more interesting, complex characters, a strong plotline, and all kinds of surprises, twists, and magic, magic, magic. Tanaquil is her old complex self, as wonderful and strong and clever and dry as she was in the first book, Black Unicorn. Her familiar, the peeve, is also going strong, and I particularly liked it in the sequel.
At first, it may look to some readers like the book is just another formulatic epic-battle-type fantasy, but Tanith Lee takes all the old, used-up cliches of this sort of fantasy and reweaves them, turns them upside-down, completley rejeuvenates them.
This is a wonderful book, and a worthy sequel. I would have liked it perhaps if Tanaquil had just gone on adventures by herself (and the peeve) and there had been no war element, but this sequel is still good the way it is.
Altogether, I wasn't disappointed. Fun book! Well worth reading!

Furello.......2006-03-28
I remember reading this story in the summer leading up to fourth grade. We read this, and it didn't really affect me much. But now, more than half a decade later, I'm reading through this story, and I'm realizing how much this story is teaching.: the meaning of life. Very good read.
Exceptional book.......2004-03-29
Furello is a magical book for all ages. Young children enjoy the storyline while older children will see the symbolism and the philosophical teaching in the story. That is what makes Furello an exceptional book as well as the fact that there is no violence in the book.
Furello goes on a quest seeking the answer to 'what is the most important thing in the world'. What is more important than gold? Furello and his new friend search for the answer and encounter many other characters along the way and each one has their own answer to Furello's question. In the end Kelton and Furello have to discover their own answer and in doing so discover a lot about themeselves.
In searching for children's books which are non violent, educational and which teach children what is important in life, I found Furello to meet and exceed all those requirements. Another significant criteria for children's books is that they must make a memorable impression and Furello made a memorable impression on my children as well as myself.
The workbook for Furello makes this book a must for all children whether they are in public school, homeschool, or students of ESL.

Stories Your Doctor Does Not Want You to Read.......1998-08-07
The Medical School by G. P. Hosmer (pseudonym of a former professor of medicine and research scholar at Stanford)is a brilliant, witty, enlightening and well-crafted collection of a dozen stories by a prolific writer and scholar in the sciences, literature, and philosophy. "Circling" is the lead story in the collection, one I have used in literature classes to the students' delight. There is nothing tediously technical about Hosmer's stories, most of which feature doctors at work and play with emphasis upon the most disreputable and all-too-human members of the professional medical establishment with their towering egos, rivalries for the research dollars, indifference to the credo of their profession to heal and do no harm, their greed and petty academic jealousies. These are modern-day Frankensteins and Quacks, whose arrogance or incompetence make sthem wonderful contemporary equivalents of the stereotypes of medicos down the ages (except the Marcus Welb! ys, of course). Hosmer's is the pitiless, detached insider's view of a great satirist who can not only expose the black heart of the medical establishment but drive an arrow through it. He succeeds from story to story with a dash of Poe here and a dollop of Swift there. Beneath the comic antics or cruelty of the caricatures is Hosmer's wit, understanding, compassion, and high regard love for his maligned profession (he takes the initials of his nom de plume from the two greatest classical physicians of antiquity--Galen and Paracelsus); it is a lofty calm from which he operates, more Thackeray than Dickens. The reader feels that vicarious thrill of squirmy distress at seeing exposed in daylight such vindictive, mercenary types in the healing profession. But there are also intriguing themes laced among the portraits, too, such as the rift between modern pharmaceutical medicine and holistic healing. Moreover, these tales are entertaining beyond their subject matter. The stylis! tically brilliant "Twins" is told from the twiste! d point of view of one of Hosmer's favorite types to lampoon--the research scientist whose greed exceeds his grasp. This is the best collection of stories to have escaped the New York syndicate of establishment reviewers in ten years--a real shame because there is enormous fictional talent despite a few harmless glitches in storytelling construction. Should be obligatory reading for every graduate medical program in the United States.

Customer Reviews:
Tried two recipes and failed miserably.......2007-02-06
I think this series (I also have the Florence book) gives a nice overview of the typical dishes for the city, but I am not going to trust their recipes again, after trying two and failing miserably. They simply do not list all the necessary ingredients. I challenge anyone to try to make the crust for the raspberry tart described in the Florence book. It just doesn't contain enough liquid to be anything but a couple of cupfuls of floury dust.
Nice Paris Overview from a Purely Culinary Eye.......2006-07-27
I've enjoyed and successfully used the recipes from the San Francisco volume for nearly two years now, so I decided to branch out and get the Paris one. The Williams-Sonoma collection of cookbooks is always well-designed and executed, and the set focused on the world's culinary capitals appears to be no exception. Author Marlene Spieler, a UK-based American food columnist and cookbook author, certainly knows Paris as she starts in the third century B.C. and moves right along chronologically to nouvelle and contemporary cuisine. She acutely describes the priority the French has put on food and even conveys the nuances in the flavors to be found within each of the city's twenty arrondissements (districts). There is an essential "Best of Paris" section that breaks down the culinary dimensions in neat categories - la boulangerie (bakery); le café (coffee); la charcuteries (butcher shop); la fromage (cheese); specialty shops focused on oils, caviar and truffles among other necessities; le vin (wines); la pâtisserie (pastry) and le chocolat.
The context provides a nice leaping-off point to the recipes, which actually don't begin until page 74, but the 47 selections all look tasty and not overly complex to prepare. There are simple basic dishes like an herb omelet to heartier fare such as Roast Duck Legs with Savoy Cabbage and Steak with Shallot Sauce. There are foolproof recipes for French Onion Soup and Pomme Frites (French fries) that basically go with any of the entrees. Unsurprisingly, the desserts are tantalizing but not overly fussy, the most complicated probably being the Charlotte aux Framboises (raspberry charlotte). The most luscious-looking one, in my opinion, is the Tarte Tatin (upside-down apple tart). Speaking of which, the book has an abundance of Willaims-Sonoma's sharp color photography courtesy of Jean-Blaise Hall, who did similar honors with the San Francisco volume. Chuck Williams has yet again done justice to a city renowned for its food by providing this evocative culinary guide. It is certainly not the most comprehensive one compiled, but it is perfect for the home chef and armchair traveler.
Straightforward recipe book -- good for beginners.......2006-03-13
I used this book to prepare a French dinner party and everything went over wonderfully. My friends raved about the food and I raved about the book.
Combo of armchair travel with good recipes.......2005-12-02
This is a great book, but it's a little hard to quantify. It has only 45 recipes, so it's not an extensive overview of Parisian cooking.
The recipes are a little on the simplistic side, but in this case that's a good thing. I can easily contemplate making this beef stewed in red wine (boeuf en daube) for an ordinary family dinner, rather than making a big deal out of authenticity (and putting off the experience until I had a spare weekend in which to do it). Like many Williams Sonoma recipes, these are non-intimidating and *very* tasty versions of much more complex dishes. I've had good luck with their recipes before, and these give me no reason to doubt their quality.
The choice of recipes are very nice, too. They're all evocative of Paris: frisee salad with bacon, sauteed chicken with riesling, warm lentils with vinaigrette, apple tarte tatin. Every one has a photo, too. It's impossible to read through them without checking on the price of flights to France.
Half the book is given over to a foodie's overview of the city, with photos and text about La Boulangerie, Le Vin, Le Chocolat. It wouldn't exactly be a guidebook; this is more inspiration for what you might find as you wander the streets of Paris, in search of a perfect cheese, or to get a sense of the scope of French winemaking. It has lots and lots of lovely photos... and I've had to wipe the drool off more than a few.
I'm sure to make several of these recipes, over the next few months. But I think I'll spend more time looking at the pictures.
If you're looking for an introduction to French cooking that captures the mood as well as the recipes, this is a great choice. Or if you're stuck for a holiday gift for someone who likes exotic cuisine, this would be really wonderful.
Personally, I'm going to look for the other books in this Williams Sonoma series; I like it a lot.
More reference than cookbook.......2005-01-25
This cookbook was an enjoyable read, but more as a reference work on the food of Paris than a comprehensive cookbook of Parisian dishes. The pictures are gorgeous and inspiring, but the recipes limited in number. It covers in great detail the everyday foods that make Paris so wonderful --- the different types of cheese, bread, coffee, etc.
As a cookbook, it's quite limited and far from comprehensive. It is, however, quite refreshing to have a cookbook with such detailed information on the regional background of Paris to whet your appetite for the recipes.
