D. (Hilda Doolittle), H.D. New Directions Publishing Corporation, 2000 Disappointing to say the least This novel was started in 1924, completed in 1929, revised in 1934 and rejected for publication by Houghton Mifflin. It was revised again in the 50's and eventually published - in defference to its historical important I presume. The novel is worthy of its rejection. It is similar to D.

Based on my previous reading, I know that Valerie Martin is capable of writing a great novel with a coherent, tight plot, rich characterization, and a very strong undercurrent of hidden meaning and symbolism. "Italian Fever", however, does not have any of these qualities. There is some beautiful ...             The Double23 reviews Jose Saramago Harcourt, 2004 This gave me goose bumps + warning: you won't be able to stop reading I read this book 2 years ago, and to this day I still think about it. Honestly, I'm not one who likes to read a lot, but Jose's books are so amazing that I get sucked in. His stories and writing style are exceptional. I liked this book more than the first one I read (Blindness).

Many of the stories take place in the home, where what is behind the thin domestic barriers of doors tends toward violence, unseemly sexual encounters, and mental anguish. Schutt opens these doors in sudden, bold moments and exposes the unsettling ...             Pilate's Wife1 review H. D. (Hilda Doolittle), H.D.
