Ishiguro, Kazuo. Nocturnes. New York: Knopf, 2009.
Submitted by R. Stuhr
Ishiguro is a favorite author of mine and so I read everything that he publishes. The great thing about liking the works of living authors is that you get to look forward to new books. This year has been good to me so far with Ishiguro, Anne Tyler (coming up next), and soon, Chang-Rae Lee. There is more, but this winter is clouding my brain and these three are foremost in my mind. The first two I have actually already read and enjoyed. My favorite Ishiguro novel is The Unconsoled, a Kafkaesque, anxiety dream that never ends. The main character is a pianist, who among other things, is finding it hard to find a room to practice in. It is dark and hilarious at the same time. Nocturne is a collection of short stories all of which have something to do with music and maybe self-confidence: lovers of music, musicians trying to make it, musicians trying to make come backs. Every single story was excellent and a perfect snapshot. Even Ishiguro's first person narratives seem to keep their distance from the reader, but I find the style appealing and somewhat mysterious. The characters don't reveal everything, and they are often confused and trying to figure out what is going on as well as the reader. Please read! I love Kazuo Ishiguro. If you have only read The Remains of the Day, you don't have a complete picture of everything he has to offer.

More recommendations for whiling away the dark and cold
Mark Movic also tipped the Book Review off about the Morning News Tournament of Books. Somehow there is a Rooster involved, and if you are a fan of independent book stores, the great Powells Book Store has a hand in this too. Follow the link and scroll down to find the tournament's short list of books. If you keep looking, you'll find the long list too. Even the most innovative of book tournaments has to make some money, so you can buy t-shirts, and support it's sponsor as well. The nice thing about this list, is that you won't have heard of all of these authors or these books. Some, yes, of course, but others will be new discoveries. Check it out!
Mark Movic reads during the long winter months
And they are so long! Mark Movic, guitarist, Drake Alumnus, Des Moines resident, and friend of the Grinnell College Libraries read David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest during the summer of 2009. He read it along with others through Matthew Baldwin's Infinite Summer blog. As Baldwin said, "June 21st to September 22nd. A thousand pages1 ÷ 92 days = 75 pages a week. No sweat."
Mark recently let me know about another online book group who began reading Roberto Bolaño's 2666 during the last week in January. They are currently in their third week--it might not be too late to catch up. This reader/reviewer would like to read 2666 but didn't get going with the group in time and will have to wait until she is ready to read on her own. Bolaño, a Chilean poet and novelist, who died at the age of 50 in 2003, has become much talked about and translated in recent years. The book review is also aware of another Grinnellian who read Moby Dick through with an online reading group. If you are reading this and have participated in an online reading group, tell us what you read and what the experience was like (bookreview@grinnell.edu). We'll share the information with our reading community.
Finally, this winter, Mark read Chronic City, versatile writer, Jonathan Lethem's latest novel. Mark writes that he liked the novel, but wasn't prepared to say what it was about. So, although it wouldn't have made the list of 1001 books to read before you die (having been written three years after that book, which became immediately out of date upon publication!), but it might be a good one to read before the winter ends. You have a couple of months to fit it in.

Sharon Clayton recommends
Sharon Clayton of the Grinnell College Libraries and avid reader recommends two books she has read recently:
Boxall, Peter, editor. 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die. New York: Universe, 2006.
101 academics, critics, and editors submitted lists of great novels from which Boxall compiled the 1001 and one books alluded to in the title. The list includes short stories and other genres of fiction as well as novels. When asked about the idiosyncratic nature of the list, Boxall told New York Times reviewer William Grimes, “I wanted this book to make people furious about the books that were included and the books that weren’t, figuring this would be the best way to generate a fresh debate about canonicity, etc..” I like the idea--seems optimistic and ambitious. Read the review by William Grimes from the May 23, 2008 NY Times.
Bragg, Melvyn. Adventure of English: The Biography of a Langauge. New York: Arcade, 2006
Based on the television program hosted by British novelist and broadcaster Melvyn Bragg, this book traces the long history and evolution of the English Language. For a discussion of this work see Michael Quinion's review in World Wide Words.
Both books are available in Burling Library.

Eichmann in Jerusalem
Hannah Arendt. Eichmann in Jerusalem: a Report on the Banality of Evil. New York: Viking Press, 1963.
Reviewed by T. Hatch
The publication in 1963 of Hannah Arendt's book Eichmann in Jerusalem was greatly resented in Israel. Evidence of this irritation was manifest in that it took over forty years for a Hebrew translation to appear. Arendt is evidence that while a gadfly is never a welcome guest empirically challenged creators of an ideology have all the more reason to resent self-appointed truth tellers in their midst.
Mossad agents captured Adolf Eichmann in Buenos Aires, Argentina in May of 1960. Living under the name of Ricardo Clement, working for a local water utility company, Eichmann knew that he was being followed. After his capture/abduction he was spirited to Israel where he stood trial on fifteen criminal counts including crimes against humanity, crimes against the Jewish people, and membership in an outlawed organization. He was eventually convicted on all counts and was hanged on May 31, 1962.
Hannah Arendt who was working as a reporter for the New Yorker magazine at the time was highly critical of what she saw as a show trial. Arendt, who for a short time had worked in the Jewish Agency's Paris office, was alienated from the Israel of David Ben-Gurion because she perceived it to be overly nationalistic, racist, too religious, unwilling to make concessions on the Arab question, not sufficiently liberal in regard to its own Arab minority, arrogant towards Jews living in other countries, and much too quick to ascribe to itself a set of moral virtues. She rejected the Zionist founding of Israel and its failure to separate church and state. Ben-Gurion, on the other hand, argued that the cause of the Holocaust was that Jews did not live in their own country and one of the goals of the Eichmann trial was to remind the world that the Holocaust obliged them to support Israel.
While Arendt characterized Eichmann as a liar and a braggart who was outrageously stupid; he was not inherently evil. What made Eichmann, and all of the future potential Eichmanns, dangerous was the relative ease with which a rather average person is converted into doing immoral acts. This is a profoundly misanthropic doctrine that Arendt puts forth but there is some validity to it. What if you knew George W. Bush as the avuncular fellow behind the counter at the bowling alley instead of his role as the “decider” overseeing a system of secret gulags where torture was practiced?
One of the common themes at the Eichmann trial was Israeli heroism and the weakness of Jews in exile; Arendt was a critic of both groups. In the instance of the Zionists she compared their search for “suitable [human] material” to Nazi racist attitudes “...the Jews from Palestine spoke a language not totally different from that of Eichmann” (p.55). In the case of the Judenrats (Jewish Councils) she was even tougher. These councils made the work of the Nazis easier. The Jewish authorities in many instances helped in administrative and police work (in Berlin the final round-up was done entirely by Jewish police) and without their assistance there might have been complete chaos or a severe drain on German manpower. “To a Jew this role of the Jewish leaders in the destruction of their own people is undoubtedly the darkest chapter of the whole dark story” (p.104).
While Arendt is critical of the conspirators of July 1944 who attempted the assassination of Adolf Hitler because they rarely mentioned the slaughter of Jews in the East in their correspondence, the extermination camps and the Einsatzgruppen were largely ignored by Hitler's opponents, the German Republic with its “veritable genius for understatement” regarding its Nazi past really drew Arendt's ire. There was a political implication to this criticism as Ben-Gurion was busy selling arms to the Germany of Konrad Adenauer at the time of the Eichmann trial and was already under fire for this activity.
Arendt pointed out that Eichmann's illegal arrest was justified by Ben-Gurion only because the verdict of the trial could be safely anticipated. Eichmann was clearly from the Nazi “B” team. His role in the Final Solution was “vastly exaggerated” because the defendants at the earlier Nuremberg trials had tried to exculpate themselves at the expense of the guy who was not at the trial. He had a terrible habit of boasting about his wartime exploits. He was also the one Nazi official who had been in close contact with Jewish officials.
In Arendt's view the Eichmann trial failed in at least four respects: Eichmann did not participate in Einsatzgruppen activity in the East; he was not the officer in charge of transporting Jews from Polish ghettos; he was not liable for what happened in the extermination camps; he was not responsible for the conditions in the Jewish ghettos.
If only Hannah Arendt could see the course history has taken since the Eichmann trial. At least Eichmann was charged (and not held in indefinite detention), he did not appear before a military tribunal, and he was not tortured.

Sister Pelagia and the Black Monk
Akunin, Boris. Sister Pelagia and the Black Monk. New York: Random House, 2008.
Submitted by Mark Schneider
I greatly enjoyed Boris Akunin's second novel in the Sister Pelagia
trilogy: Sister Pelagia and the Black Monk. Set roughly a century and
a half ago in Russia, the not-your-average nun Sister Pelagia, who has
a penchant for solving mysteries, takes on the task of unraveling the
peculiar deaths and hauntings at the remote monastery at New Ararat.
Sister Pelagia does so without the blessings of Bishop Mitrofanii, but
only after several other investigators sent by the bishop have died or
gone mad at the hands of the spectral Black Monk, and after the Bishop
himself has collapsed from shock and grief at the unfolding
catastrophe. Sister Pelagia risks her life and excommunication to
find out whether the culprit is evil spirit, criminal mastermind, or
madman. If you like mystery writers such as Tony Hillerman or Randy
Wayne White, where the novel is as much about culture and history as
figuring out whodunit, you'll love Akunin's novels, and the Black Monk
is probably my favorite among them.
The Grinnell College Libraries are well stocked with books by Boris Akunin (Akunin, B. (Boris)), but all but one are in Russian. The one is The Winter Queen. Burling 3rd Floor PG3478.K78 A9713 2003.
