Red sorghum book review7/8/2023 ![]() But as the book progresses these bits assemble in the readers mind into a more complete picture. An individual of a later 20th century Chinese lifespan, this man’s experience of that earlier time is found through flashbacks of family memory that play out in bits of seemingly disjointed montages. ![]() Told as a first person narrative, this tale betrays the nationalism, racism, and sexism of that fictional narrator, permanently marked by his times and traumatic heritage. Red Sorghum is at least a work of historical fiction. For someone who might not be at least superficially familiar with the appalling conditions of these two wars of attrition fought upon a countryside already devastated by poverty and organized crime, it might appear that this book contains far too much gratuitous horror.īut for someone like Mo Yan, who was born and raised in Shandong Province (completely taken over by Japan), it might constitute family memory and cultural history. This brutal invasion occurred coincidentally within the 23 years of the Chinese Civil War (1927~1950). ![]() For about eight years (1937~1945), northeastern China was occupied by Japan. ![]()

The 19th wife review7/7/2023 ![]() ![]() Here, with “The Young Wife,” Poe seems to be charting the beginnings of a mixed-race family, with an ensemble including, along with “Dope” breakout Clemons and singer/songwriter Bridges, Kelly Marie Tran, Michaela Watkins, Aya Cash, Sandy Honig, Brandon Micheal Hall, Lukita Maxwell, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Judith Light, Aida Osman, Connor Paolo, Jon Rudnitsky, and Lovie Simone, playing all manner of personalities. The director is Tayarisha Poe, who made waves at Sundance in 2019 for her confidently directed feature debut “Selah and the Spades,” a deftly choreographed ensemble piece about the underground factions of a fictional boarding school. ![]() ![]() ![]() Set 10 years in the future and imbued with an ineffably otherworldly glow that almost makes you feel like you’ve been planted on another planet, “The Young Wife” is a heady soup of a wedding day ensemble dramedy, and one with plenty of spiky characters and admirable visuals to pluck from. A slow-motion panic attack in movie form, “ The Young Wife” swirls around the hopes and doubts of a young woman (a radiant Kiersey Clemons) on the day of her “non-wedding.” It’s not a moment of matrimony, nor is it quite a commitment ceremony, but instead a day-long party, a celebration of the love between Celestina and her wishy-washy boyfriend River (Leon Bridges), who’s hours late. ![]()

Little Big Man by Thomas Berger7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() “It is of course unlikely that one man would have experienced even a third of Mr. The fictional editor responsible for getting Little Big Man’s memoir into print put it this way: Much like the fictional Forrest Gump would do in his own part of the country decades later via novel and film, Jack was everywhere out West where anything of consequence seemed to be happening, including the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Despite dying at 34 years of age before he could complete his memoir, Crabb tells of his experiences and/or friendships with the likes of George Armstrong Custer, Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, Wyatt Earp, and others. The novel’s main character, Jack Crabb, is the Forrest Gump of the second half of the nineteenth century. ![]() But coincidentally, this second reading of the book coincided almost perfectly with the fiftieth anniversary of the first time I read it - and it turned out to be as entertaining as ever. I only discovered Thomas Berger’s 1964 novel Little Big Man after watching its 1970 movie version starring Dustin Hoffman in the title role. ![]()
