Basso Profundo: September 2014

http://bassoprofundo1.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Book Reviews that Sound a Deeper Note. Monday, September 29, 2014. Edited by Joyce Carol Oates. The stories in Prison Noir.

I enjoyed them quite thoroughly – to an extent that surprised me. Posted by Luke Sherwood. Links to this post. Saturday, September 20, 2014. Is a ...

Basso Profundo: "The Remains of the Day" by Kazuo Ishiguro

http://bassoprofundo1.blogspot.com/2010/06/remains-of-day-by-kazuo-ishiguro.html

Book Reviews that Sound a Deeper Note. The Remains of the Day" by Kazuo Ishiguro. Friday, June 18, 2010. It becomes clear through a series of reminiscences that Miss Kenton in her proper way offered affection, and more, to Stevens, when she was on the household staff with him. Stevens plain doesn’t see it; this sort of thing is alien to him. In any event he ignores her. I know I will. Posted by Luke Sherwood. The #1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McC.

In addition to the dragon, there are ogres, evil sprites, and a flock of ghostly harridans to bewitch and bedevil. Posted by Luke Sherwood. But is it Art? Book Sites:...

Book Reviews that Sound a Deeper Note. The Sojourn" by Andrew Krivak. Sunday, January 4, 2015. Another stunning debut. I shake my head in wonder at these initial offerings – that they can be so deep and moving, so complete and polished. The Sojourn. Author Andrew Krivak employs the same unvarnished language to describe the high refinement of a man’s skills in shaping, and being shaped by, nature. These passages impress upon us the almost superhero heights these skills can rise to. Mr Krivak places his wa...
