Denis J. Underwood. A stocky guy, with a broad face and thick limbs, strode toward us. All I knew about Trish’s cousin, Keith, our guide, was that he was eighteen and had lost his last snowmobile in the bay. His friends pulled him from the water. This did not instill much confidence. Trish flipped her visor up, “What’s wrong? Ldquo;Must be out of oil or something.” At that moment, I noticed a HI/LO. Switch on the handlebar. I had been driving in LO. Ldquo;Can you fix it? Rdquo; Trish asked. Rdquo; I asked.

LWN: Modern Masterpieces

http://literarywritersnetwork.blogspot.com/2015/03/modern-masterpieces.html

Monday, March 9, 2015. Reviewing the 100 Best Novels of the 20th Century. Number 33 on the Modern Library’s list is a novel by Theodore Dreiser called Sister Carrie. Dreiser has another novel on the list, called An American Tragedy. 16) He could as well have given Sister Carrie. I imagine this story’s attitude is one of disapproval or disappointment about the track Carrie’s life took. I imagine Sister Carrie in the eyes of this novel is seen as a fallen woman. A tragic character is one whose fate is in s...

Monday, February 9, 2015. Reviewing the 100 Best Novels of the 20th Century. Read enough novels and you start to develop the notion that there is such a thing as “the novel,” that there is a norm, differences in style, voice, attitude, and structure notwithstanding. And then pops up a novel that subverts this notion. One on the Modern Library’s list is Jack Kerouac’s. Is how the writing captures the essence of this music. The language and rhythms of this writing are the typewritten equivalent of bebo...

Monday, June 29, 2015. Reviewing the 100 Best Novels of the 20th Century. All the King’s Men. All the King’s Men. By Robert Penn Warren (#36 on the Modern Library’s list) is a story of political corruption and of the trickling-down effect of a political machine, the lust for power that drives it and the infection it spreads. Narrated by Jack Burden, a young man enamored of and caught up in the machinations, the novel is complex in characters and plotting and vibrant in its prose. He is the image of the c...

All Throughout the Storm by Denis Underwood

http://www.bartlebysnopes.com/allthroughoutthestorm.htm

All Throughout the Storm. By Denis J. Underwood. Ack's hairless ankles are white and delicate as chicken bones. The photograph at his feet slipped from the book that's splayed open in his hands. He bends over and his spine looks like a jagged line of stones beneath his flannel shirt. For a second I think I hear vertebrae crackling, but it's only the noise of rain on the roof of Jack's trailer. Here it is, he says. Just dumb luck I flipped through the pages before giving it to Frankie. At every chance, Ja...

Monday, July 27, 2015. Reviewing the 100 Best Novels of the 20th Century. By Dashiell Hammett (#56 on the Modern Library’s list), is one of the few entries that could be described as genre fiction. It is known as detective noir, along with Hammett’s many other works (and with The Postman Always Rings Twice. The story is so complex that you’re left with the nagging notion that it doesn’t actually hang together. But it’s a story in the best sense of “story”:. And then what happens? And then what happens?

Monday, April 27, 2015. Reviewing the 100 Best Novels of the 20th Century. Novels depicting a dystopian world of the writer’s future are intriguing, entertaining, and frightening, especially when read from a time vantage point well past when the novel’s future was supposed to have happened. It is then that the novel’s staying power is tested and the predictive intelligence and imagination of the writer is spot-lighted. Aldous Huxley, #5) and 1984. George Orwell, #13), along with A Clockwork Orange. These...
