Almost pure geek, he lived for decades out of two battered suitcases, frenetically criss-crossing the world, giving lectures, attacking problems, furiously publishing papers, and unnerving the friends he dropped in on unexpectedly. When they build the Geek Hall of Fame, in some musty corner of MIT or in a dingey loft in San Francisco's Mission District, there surely will be a corner reserved to honor the mythic mathematician Paul Erdos, whose odd and poignant life is vividly captured in the "The Man Who Loved Only Numbers," by Paul Hoffman (Hyperion, US $22.95).Įrdos, who died in l996, was one of the greatest mathematicians of the century, as well as a profound eccentric. Click below to read more about a true geek. This is literary tribute to the life and work of Paul Erdos, the eminent mathematician that died last year. Well, Jon Katz has sent in his first book review, The Man Who Loved Only Numbers, written by Paul Hoffman. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Nathaniel Hawthorne used her as a model for Hester Prynne in The Scarlet Letter her detractors referred to her as "the instrument of Satan," a witch, "more bold than a man," and Jezebel-the ancient queen who, on account of her tremendous political power, was "the most evil woman" in the Bible. ![]() Charged with heresy and sedition, she defended herself brilliantly, but the court, faced with a perceived threat to public order, banished her for behaving in a manner "not comely for sex." The seeds of the American struggle for women's and human rights can be found in her courageous story. Her unconventional ideas attracted a following of prominent citizens eager for social reform. In a time when women could not vote, hold public office, or teach outside the home, the charismatic Hutchinson wielded remarkable political power. Eve LaPlante, a sixth great-granddaughter of Samuel Sewall, is the author of two previous critically acclaimed books: American Jezebel, a biography of her ancestor Anne Hutchinson, and Seized, a narrative portrait of temporal lobe epilepsy. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A fascinating read in these difficult times. offers vivid characters and a gripping portrait of a world beset by a pandemic and political uncertainty. Donoghue seems most interested in the dramas of this one space - with which she manages to make clear the broader constrictions and injustices of an entire Irish society. In The Pull of the Stars, Emma Donoghue once again finds the light in the darkness in this new classic of hope and survival against all odds. The scenes in the 'fever/maternity' ward are so enthralling that the novel loses a bit of its fire - and realism - whenever it leaves that room, but these departures are thankfully rare. Even in Julia’s slightly euphemistic voice, the sheer attention devoted to these descriptions functions as a kind of unadorned reverence for the work and pain and strength of women - and how the paths of their lives are so often defined by the workings of their bodies. The city is ravaged by the war and the Spanish flu, referred to as grippe. In Red, midwife Julia goes to work at a Dublin hospital on October 31st 1918. The narrow aperture of the maternity ward allows Donoghue to focus on one of the novel’s most compelling preoccupations: the lives and bodies of women. Donoghue divides the novel into four sections: Red, Brown, Blue, and Black which depict three days in the life of narrator, Julia Power. Readers familiar with Donoghue’s masterly 2010 best seller, Room, will recall the focused intensity she can bring to bear on constricted spaces. ![]() ![]() Though she gave no credence to Walter's warnings prior to her Laura's marriage, when they return from their honeymoon and Laura asks Marian to come and live with them, she begins to observe that something is very wrong.

Marian, meanwhile, is a fiery and charismatic narrator. A woman who, for reasons unknown, resembles Laura so closely they might be twins, or a woman and her ghost. ![]() Walter suspects it has been sent by the same young woman that he met before taking on his post as drawing-master, an ethereal woman dressed in all white, wandering the empty roads outside London at the dead of night. She receives a cryptic, anonymous letter warning her to stay away from him. ![]() Laura, who only entered into the engagement to please her dying father, loves Walter and knows next to nothing about Sir Percival. Quite a bit of the story is told through the eyes of Walter Hartright, the sisters' drawing instructor, who falls in love with Laura only to discover she is previously engaged, yet nothing is as it seems. ![]() Summary: A series of diaries and letters tell of the lives of Laura and Marian, two 'sisters' whose lives are disrupted by a series of sensational events. ![]() ![]() ![]() But I can say that A Glow of Stars & Dusk has bumped up to my one number favourite book, and I can’t wait for more of the Watcher Series.

With his signature humor, sense of adventure, and masterly ability to immerse himself-and us-in his surroundings, Bill Buford has written what is sure to be the food-lover's book of the year. Studying at L'Institut Bocuse, cooking at the storied, Michelin-starred La Mère Brazier, enduring the endless hours and exacting rigeur of the kitchen, Buford becomes a man obsessed-with proving himself on the line, proving that he is worthy of the gastronomic secrets he's learning, proving that French cooking actually derives from (mon dieu!) the Italian. But when Buford (quickly) realizes that a stage in France is necessary, he goes-this time with his wife and three-year-old twin sons in tow-to Lyon, the gastronomic capital of France. ![]() Baffled by the language, but convinced that he can master the art of French cooking-or at least get to the bottom of why it is so revered- he begins what becomes a five-year odyssey by shadowing the esteemed French chef Michel Richard, in Washington, D.C.

Though the lessons weigh more heavily than in The One and Only Ivan, a potential disappointment to its fans, the story is nevertheless a somberly affecting one We stay as long as we’re needed.” The cat’s voice, with its adult tone, is the conduit for the novel’s lessons: “You need to tell the truth, my friend….To the person who matters most of all.” Crenshaw tells Jackson that “Imaginary friends don’t come of their own volition. The structure allows readers access to the slow buildup of Jackson’s panic and his need for a friend and stability in his life. Jackson’s first-person narrative moves from the present day, when he wishes that his parents understood that he’s old enough to hear the truth about the family’s finances, to the first time they were homeless and back to the present. When Crenshaw shows up on a surfboard, Jackson, an aspiring scientist who likes facts, wonders whether Crenshaw is real or a figment of his imagination. ![]() Now they’re facing eviction again, and Jackson’s afraid that he won’t be going to school next year with his friend Marisol. A giant cat named Crenshaw first appeared after Jackson finished first grade, when his parents moved the family into their minivan for several months.
