Book Reviewer

"Wow! I am so impressed when a (relatively) new author creates such a compelling, exciting and potentially controversial novel. The action is non-stop, the locations are intriguing and the characters are appealing. There is tension, romance, harrowing escape after harrowing escape all weaved within a story that captures your interest and keeps you guessing until the very end when you are floored by a surprise hook followed by an even more unexpected uppercut of an ending."

...and the most noted Richard is no real surprise...

1. Richard Nixon, old President of the United States of America.

I compiled this list by searching for the names listed on a number of hunt engines and ranking them by the number of web pages, conference forums, photos, videos, etc that are ready online.

Not production the list were Richard Hatch - Survivor Game Show Winner, Richard Belzer - Actor (Homicide: Life on the Street) and Stand Up Comedian, Richard Daley - Chicago Mayor, Richard Adams - Author (Watership Down), Richard Lugar - United States Senator from Indiana, Richard Russo - Author (Empire Falls), Richard Dawson - Actor (Hogan's Heros) and Game Show Host (Family Feud), and Richard Carstone - a character in Charle's Dickens novel Bleak House.

I was surprised that the artists (Avedon and Prince) did so well while the authors (Adams and Russo) did not, but maybe having a lot of images online helps build popularity. Not of course surprising that the major movie stars (Gere, Burton, and Dreyfuss) were high on the list or that President Nixon was number one.

The Top 10 Most paramount citizen With the First Name of RichardHoward Stern Re-Ups for 5 More Years w/Sirius XM Video Clips. Duration : 6.53 Mins.

On Twitter: @longisland495 5 More Years! 5 More Years! (Hey Now!) The result of the Howard Stern speculation that he may leave Sirius XM...that he's not leaving Sirius XM. Stern announced early into his show this past Thursday that he's signed a new 5 year contract with Sirius XM Satellite Radio. The new deal will lock up Stern on the satellite radio provider until 2015. By the time this new deal is done, Stern will be 62 years old. He'll still be on a 4-day a week schedule with "Best of the Week" shows airing on Fridays. It was widely reported that one of the provisions Stern wanted in a new deal included that he'd only work 3 days a week as opposed to 4. He even contemplated not even going to Times Square (where the Sirius XM studios are located) to do his show. It is expected that Robin, Fred, etc. will also be resigned since what's the Howard Stern Show without "BaBaBooey" references and constant jokes about Quivers' boobies. Stern apparently was milking this given what he said Wednesday. He tried to play his listeners into the idea that he wasn't sure about which way the negotiations would play out. Then 24 hours later...he signs a new 5 year deal!! I wasn't expecting an announcement until next week. I wake up the next day to turn on CNN and it says on their "Bottom Line News Ticker" that Howard had signed a new 5 year contract. Come again! Didn't this guy just say that he wasn't sure about a new deal 24 hours ago. Apparently something must've happened that he wasn't ...

Breath, Eyes, Memory (Oprah's Book Club) Review

Breath, Eyes, Memory (Oprah's Book Club) Overview

At an astonishingly young age, Edwidge Danticat has become one of our most celebrated new novelists, a writer who evokes the wonder, terror, and heartache of her native Haiti--and the enduring strength of Haiti's women--with a vibrant imagery and narrative grace that bear witness to her people's suffering and courage.

At the age of twelve, Sophie Caco is sent from her impoverished village of Croix-des-Rosets to New York, to be reunited with a mother she barely remembers. There she discovers secrets that no child should ever know, and a legacy of shame that can be healed only when she returns to Haiti--to the women who first reared her. What ensues is a passionate journey through a landscape charged with the supernatural and scarred by political violence, in a novel that bears witness to the traditions, suffering, and wisdom of an entire people.

Breath, Eyes, Memory (Oprah's Book Club) Specifications

Oprah Book Club® Selection, May 1998: "I come from a place where breath, eyes and memory are one, a place from which you carry your past like the hair on your head. Where women return to their children as butterflies or as tears in the eyes of the statues that their daughters pray to." The place is Haiti and the speaker is Sophie, the heroine of Edwidge Danticat's novel, "Breath, Eyes, Memory." Like her protagonist, Danticat is also Haitian; like her, she was raised in Haiti by an aunt until she came to the United States at age 12. Indeed, in her short stories, Danticat has often drawn on her background to fund her fiction, and she continues to do so in her debut novel.

The story begins in Haiti, on Mother's Day, when young Sophie discovers that she is about to leave the only home she has ever known with her Tante Atie in Croix-des-Rosets, Haiti, to go live with her mother in New York City. These early chapters in Haiti are lovely, subtly evoking the tender, painful relationship between the motherless child and the childless woman who feels honor bound to guard the natural mother's rights to the girl's affections above her own. Presented with a Mother's Day card, Tante Atie responds: "'It is for a mother, your mother.' She motioned me away with a wave of her hand. 'When it is Aunt's Day, you can make me one.'" Danticat also uses these pages to limn a vibrant portrait of life in Haiti from the cups of ginger tea and baskets of cassava bread served at community potlucks to the folk tales of a "people in Guinea who carry the sky on their heads."

With Sophie's transition from a fairly happy existence with her aunt and grandmother in rural Haiti to life in New York with a mother she has never seen, Danticat's roots as a short-story writer become more evident; "Breath, Eyes, Memory" begins to read more like a collection of connected stories than a seamlessly evolved novel. In a couple of short chapters, Sophie arrives in New York, meets her mother, makes the acquaintance of her mother's new boyfriend, Marc, and discovers that she was the product of a rape when her mother was a teenager in Haiti. The novel then jumps several years ahead to Sophie's graduation from high school and her infatuation with an older man who lives next door. Unfortunately, this is also the point in the novel where Danticat begins to lay her themes on with a trowel instead of a brush: Sophie's mother becomes obsessed with protecting her daughter's virginity, going so far as to administer physical "tests" on a regular basis--testing which leads eventually to a rift in their relationship and to Sophie's struggle with her own sexuality. Soon the litany of victimization is flying thick and fast: female genital mutilation, incest, rape, frigidity, breast cancer, and abortion are the issues that arise in the final third of the novel, eventually drowning both fine writing and perceptive characterization under a deluge of angst.

Still, there is much to admire about "Breath, Eyes, Memory," and if at times the plot becomes overheated, Danticat's lyrical, vivid prose offers some real delight. If nothing else, this novel is sure to entice readers to look for Danticat's short stories--and possibly to sample other fiction from the West Indies as well. --Alix Wilber
