hangin' on by a thread.......2007-04-28
Suppose you spent a lot of your childhood in a Nazi concentration camp, then got out only to find your country taken over by a lot of idiots with party cards who proceeded to Orwellize everything. Idiocy became excellence and excellence just suspicious lack of patriotism. The less you knew, the more qualified you became. And you wanted to write. What would you do ? Would you run away ? But what if your language was spoken by only ten million people in the whole world ? If you left, you'd be read only in translation--through that glass darkly. Well, you opt to stay. But the idiots--shall we call them `jerkists' ?---don't want to give you any recognition. So, you can collect garbage off the streets with a team of oddball companions and you can assuage your circumscribed little life, your frustrations in literature by having a steamy affair with a rather mysterious woman. Ah, but you're married too, with two kids. So, trapped you are. Isn't almost everyone, everywhere, ultimately trapped in a life they didn't imagine ? At least they are in our world, where choice is a possibility.
In a nutshell, this is Klima's autobiography and the dilemma of this strange but beautiful novel. I couldn't help but recall Milan Kundera here, even if Klima is probably sick and tired of the comparison. Philosophy plays a big role, plot takes a back seat. Adultery figures large in both writers' work, as it does in Skvorecky's as well. I think it is because in 20th century Czechoslovakia, living meant being in bed with somebody else; you could never be true to one thing. "Sleeping with the enemy" became a common metaphor. The enemy could be yourself. Klima writes that "the most important things in life are non-communicable, not compressible into words...even though he himself tries to do so." Yes, the whole book reverberates with the battle between being true to yourself and being true to the duties you have by being alive, being part of a social fabric, especially one that is odious to you. I'm not sure the battle is won by the end. Nor is it lost. It just goes on. Kafka has to appear, Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge, the philosophy of garbage, and the idea that we are tied to life by countless threads which form a net for us, but we break them, others break them, and they slowly rot away, leaving us, at last, alone. Love must be paramount---it is a strong thread, while garbage is dangerous, a rotting agent, especially discarded ideas that still hang around (like Communism in the old Czechoslovakia.) If you read this novel, you must be interested in such thoughts, Klima's many epigrams, and his musings on many subjects. You will find a very clear presentation of the dilemmas of adultery. There are some humorous passages. But it's most of all the tracing of one man's very human struggle with the givens of life--marriage, government, authority of any kind, nature, and love---that will keep you reading to the end. It is not a pop literature novel chockfull of extremes; it is quiet, but it is brilliant.
The tenuous nature of our safety nets.......2006-07-24
Many compare Ivan Klima's 'Love and Garbage' to Milan Kundera's 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being'. Although there are many comparable elements between these two excellent novels, it must be said that 'Love and Garbage' has much more of a real human soul to it. Where Kundera's characters tend to be shallow and cold, Klima's have a warmth and realism that will draw in readers.
Even though the narrator is having an affair with a sculptress named Daria, we never see him as a calous womaniser, or anything of the sort. He is merely, like any human being, trying to find the person that will make him whole and keep him form the void.
Escaping the aforementioned central void is soemthing that obsesses Klima's narrator. To him the various relationships that he has are likely safety nets that keep him from the abyss that lurks beneath human existence. His wife and lover are dual nets that keep him hanging on above it, perhaps this is one place in which the characters approach Kundera like cynicism.
However 'Love and Garbage' does not restrict itself to matters of love and runs ts reader throught the gauntlet that is the human experience. Life is viewed from many different ages and viewpoints through the narrator, his wife, his children, his lover and his aging and unwell father. This is all set against the background of the loathsome, totalitarian regime of the time, as well as its "jerkish" traditions and language. The result is a fascinating examination of the human condition.
Klima's typical blend of musings and The Muse.......2003-09-12
As with his other writing--essays, short stories, other novels--Klima mixes lots of pondering with a slow-moving, at times suspended, plot. He favors thinking about Kafka, Kampuchea, the Bomb, garbage, and corrosion of the moral and physical type. It takes a very slow accretion of these reflections, alternating with the narrator's work on a sanitation crew, the decline of his father's health, his marriage and his mistress, and his own impotence as--you guessed it, a writer..to emerge into what manages to be an appropriate ending to this reflective, meditative narrative.
I like Klima's refusal to give into the cliche, the accepted role, and his determination to peer over into the abyss: the quality he fears and admires in his predecessor Kafka. As with most of his work, you find out less about the streets of Prague than his inner labyrinthine intellect. I do wish, however, that Klima could break out of his familiar narratorial role: his protagonist always seems like himself, despite at the novel's start a disclaimer. Which is wise, considering Klima's faithful rendition of a love triangle that motivates what plot that exists to thread the multiple digressions and sub-plots along. His account of infidelity certainly carries the whole theme of lies and decay forward and grounds the novel in its elaborations.
Actually, the garbage crew proves the least interesting part of this novel, and the relationship between him and his wife and his mistress the most engrossing--I expected to be excited by just the opposite motif! Klima comments elsewhere that he took on the garbageman job as "research" for a novel. On the other hand, under the communist regime, he may not have had many alternatives. See "My Golden Trades" for some of his other tasks.
More admirable than Kundera, in my opinion, is Klima's moral stance; you can read his interview with Philip Roth in Klima's essay collection "Spirit of Prague" to understand more about how the two Czechs differ in their decisions. For readers willing to be moved more by insight than titillation, this is a fine place to begin your introduction to Klima's world.
Read Kundera Instead.......2003-07-22
Although I enjoyed this book, I found it strikingly unoriginal. Klima covers many of the themes found in other Czech literature written during the rule of the communist regime: love, hate, body, soul, oppression, and freedom. If one is interested in exploring such themes, Milan Kundera's 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being' is a much better choice than this particular work. Given that 'Love and Garbage' is Klima's response to Kundera's 'Unbearable Lightness...' I find it difficult to see how one could fully understand this book without first having read Kundera's novel. When one reads both books, one immediately notices the marked difference between the two authors: simply put, Kundera is better.
Complex, but worthwhile.......2001-05-17
Klima writes beautifully, but I found the book to convoluted to give it a higher rating. I think he tried to squeeze too many themes and sub-plots into one book, and also that the narrator takes too long to resolve his inner turmoil about his extra-marital relationship. But the book is nonetheless worth reading for the prose, which is exemplary. This is not a book to read in small chunks on trains and planes, and should be tackled under perfect reading conditions.

A hit for all couples!.......2000-05-31
This book has wonderful insights for the newly engaged couple to those celebrating their 50th anniversary. Short stories similar to "Chicken Soup for the Soul" books are followed by thought and discussion provoking questions that help couples reflect on their own marriage in a meaningful way that few other books have even touched upon. If you are looking for a gift for that hard to shop for couple or even for yourself, do not pass up this book!

Book Description
After many years of peace in the Lands of Men, there came Dragon Weather: a wave of incredible heat, oppressive humidity, dark angry clouds . . . and dragons. Dragons with no remorse, no sympathy, no use for humans; dragons who destroyed an entire village and everyone in it. Everyone, that is, except the young boy Arlian. Orphaned and alone, Arlian was captured by looters and sold as a mining slave. He finally escaped, fueled by years of hatred and a personal vow to bring justice to all who had wronged him. After killing those who enslaved him, Arlian sought out The Dragon Society, whose sworn purpose was to stand against the dragon menace. It was there, among his peers, that Arlian discovered he is humanity's best hope for defeating the dragons . . . permanently.Now, Arlian seeks his final vengeance: death to all of dragonkind. But as he begins to destroy the evil beasts, wild magic seeps into the Lands of Men, sowing chaos and destruction in its wake. Will Arlian's all-consuming quest for justice consume humanity as well? The answer may lie within his ancient foe's most lethal weapon: Dragon Venom
Customer Reviews:
A good, obsessive character.......2006-02-12
I really liked the fact that LWE gave us a main character who was well and truly obsessed and determined. Things came out well for him in the end, but he truly was willing to do dark things in order to accomplish his ends. I like it a lot because too often authors will let the characters get away with only being obsessed when it lets them be nice guys. It was great to read about a character who was truly willing to go to great lengths to finish his vengeance.
The story dragged at points, but he got it done in three books and it was interesting. Well worth having read!
Surprising developments await you within these pages........2005-05-19
I picked up Dragon Weather on a whim at a used book store. I've been hooked on LWE ever since.
LWE isn't just a writer. He's an amazing writer, and Arlian is a wonderfully complex character in a deeply interesting world.
Before I begin my review, I must tell you that there is much more to this book (and the others in this series) than meets the eye, and although the book is well written and easy to read, the issues contained within the book are not exactly a light read. This series is really a series of questions of ethics.
These books aren't just a fiction story about Arlian getting his revenge on the looters that killed his family and friends and sold him into slavery.
They're about whether the ends justify the means. In the first book, you are told to hate the "evil" man who sold Arlian into slavery, and you are shown all the ripple of horrible circumstances that were all directly or indirectly caused by him. Sweet and Hasty and Kitten and all the other prostitutes--all women sold into slavery by their family and then disfigured. Some of them are eventually killed. All because of this "evil" man.
You are told about the horrible experiments he performs on people, the pack he made with the dragons, and given just a hint of all the people he's slaughtered throughout his lifetime.
But, the real dilema posed in the book isn't "Will Arlian get his revenge?" Nothing nearly so cut and dry.
The real dilema in the book is all in the ACTIONS.
Enziets' destruction of the little sleepy mountain town of Obsidian eventually ended up giving Arlian the tools he needed to defeat his first (and second, and third....and fourth) dragon. Enziets disgusting experiments provided the begining and basis for Arlians own (ahh...but if you haven't read the third book yet, so you don't know about that).
The third book both anwsers all your questions as well as provoking a million more. It anwsers whether Arlian gets his revenge or not, what happens to him and Lady Rhime, and all his girls from the brothel. What happens to the duke, and tells you more about wild magic and this history of the Lands of Man and beyond. But it makes you question so much more. Do these anwsers come at to great of a price? Does Arlian realize how similar to Enziet he has become?
The first two books set up Arlian as a character with a "chaotic Good" Alignment--someone who will do whatever they think is just and noble, whether anyone else agrees with it or not. But in this third book, That opinion is dashed to smithereens, and you seem Arlian behaving exactly--infact even more so-as diabolical as Enziet.
As much as you loved him in the first two, You'll begin to hate him in this book.
So, As you read this series, ask yourself more than just the surface questions--IS it ok for Arlian to build a fortune at the expense of other people--even if they aren't Pure as the Drive Snow? Toribor--Belly--Wasn't neccesarily bad. And you come to learn, neither was Enziet, only single minded. IS it ok for Arlian to Kill Dragon after Dragon, even when he finds out there are more ill side effects than he ever imagined?
Think about it.
Great finish to the series.......2004-12-13
Watt-Evans could have gone the route of Robert Jordan and dragged this story out over several books, dropping small plot advancements every so often. Instead, he runs with it. The world as you've known it in the first two books becomes much more complex, and many things that previously had to be taken on word are explained. Plot progresses at a rapid pace through most of the book, with surprises coming often, keeping it a page-turner.
This has been one of my favorite fantasy series, alongside Robin Hobb's Farseer trilogy and Melanie Rawn's Dragon Star/Prince trilogies.
Excellent........2004-11-25
The final installment of the Obsidian chronicles does a great job of tying up the storylines from the previous two books. The character development of the main protaginist comes full circle, and the reader is left feeling satisfied with the end result.
One of personal favourite points about this book is the simmering resentment between Arlian and his best friend and steward, Black. Instead of just glossing over the Black character, Watt-Evans gives him real motivations and desires, ofentimes which don't co-incide with those of Arlian. It is a real treat to read the interactions between these two men.
Master piece.......2004-05-05
Lawrence Watt-Evants Dragon series has proved to me that he is truely a master writer. I have enjoyed his books books for years and I beleive this is the best I have ever read. All three books grab your attention and hold onto it, but it is a rare author who's final book in a series is better than all the rest. I've waited years for this story to come to a conclusion and I am no sorry for the wait.
This is truely a master piece!
Book Description
Like her half-breed mother, young Zarq Darquel can't always hold her tongue. A peasant on a large dragon estate, she goes unnoticed by the Dragon Temple-until she captures the attention of a dragonmaster. Her clan is plunged into destitution, her sister Waivia sold into slavery, and her mother lost to madness. Desperate to find Waivia, Zarq and her delirious mother flee. Zarq then develops a taste for the highly addictive venom of the dragons she has been taught to revere-and with it, she imbibes their memories and a glimpse of a plot for social revolution. But to achieve it, she must defy not just sexual taboos and patriarchal society, but the Emperor who rules her nation.

Venomously Bad .......2007-03-02
This is not the most horrible book I've ever read, by any means. But it's sure as heck on the top ten list of things that I wish I had never read.
First of all, though the author is not a completely terrible writer, she has some cumbersome words and phrases that got me to raise an eyebrow.
However, these have been discussed quite enough, in my opinion, so I'm not going to get into this. I'm going to review a different, and what I feel to be equally questionable, aspect of the book.
She seems to have inserted some hot-button social issues into her book without doing research on at least one of them, namely female mutilation. The darkness of these issues doesn't bother me at all. Neither, in fact, does her use of them in her book. In fact, if she'd managed to pull it off, I might be recommending this story all over the place. However, she proves her utter ignorance of them to anyone who knows anything about a woman's body, and the way it works. Since Cross seems to know so little about the issues she brings up in her work, I have to question why she felt the need to bring them up. The only conclusion I can come to is that she wanted to score points with literary critics. I find it rather offensive that she felt the need to essentially trivialize someone else's real-life plight in such a manner. Then to do what appears to be absolutely no research on the subject? Pathetic.
If you want dark fantasy, you can do so much better than this.
dark fantasy -- icky & depressing.......2006-11-07
"Touched By Venom" has the best cover art I've seen in a long time. Wow! Whoever did that cover deserves a raise, because they are more responsible for sales than anyone else, including the author.
This novel follows the maturation of a young girl, Z, who grows up in a mideval society -- with dragons added. It portrays a totalitarian society through the eyes of someone near the bottom of the socio-economic ladder. The story chronicles depressing and horrible events in Z's life from 9 years to adulthood. Many of these events are beyond "R" rating and well into "X", and not for consentual sex. The back cover is very misleading -- Z doesn't team up with her mom & spend the book trying to rescue her sister -- rather, the mom & sister suffer their own horrid events, which hurt the girl in turn. Expect no happy events, ever.
To be fair, the writing style was fairly good -- I disagree with other reviewers on this point. The only real complaint I have with the writing style is an occasional glarring inconsistency between how characters are summarized upon first appearance (e.g., Z's opinion of them) and how said characters act in the book. Z's mother, for example.
The mood & gestalt are somewhat similar to "Nightlife" by Rob Thurman, Anne Bishop's "Black Jewels" novels, and Charles Dickens' writings (not "A Christmas Carol", but his other more depressing look at life in England). So, if you liked those, you'll probably enjoy this book. Not recommended for teens or sensitive readers.
not pern.......2006-08-24
This book is not your easy going happy go lucky fantasy.
That said it is a good book well worth the read.
And this is why authors avoid writing fantasy..........2006-08-22
Looking at the reviews below me, I see why your average author avoids fantasy like a plague. Lets say that you want to write a book with fantastic elements. The focus of your book will be a character. Bad things will happen to her, and some good things, and she will suffer, and be blown about by fate, but she won't go fight a dark lord, or save the world, or discover a fabled relic. The book won't be humorous, or easy reading, or lighthearted fun.
That's what this book is - a serious exploration of a human condition. The society is repressive, but not a parallel to any historical society. It's unique. The world is not threatened by evil - just greed and inadequacy. The main character is brutally mutalated - by people who are neither particularly hatable, nor hated by the character. Nothing is black and white, easy to understand, fun to think about. It's heavy reading, interesting stuff.
Support fantasy that is more than bad rewrites of Tolkien! Read this book!
Actual nitpicks with the book: The character remains focused on the now for the entire book, which means that when plot points resurface, we are left feeling a little adrift, especially at the strength of the character's reaction. Even a few introspective scenes would not have been amiss. I know why the author did it (to avoid dragging the reader out of the narrative flow) but I feel there were natural break points that could have been exploited, and were not. This is enough to keep it off five stars, for me.
I'm completely astonished!.......2006-08-05
I thought both of the books Cross has written were amazing. I think she brings into view issues that our own world faces in a fantasy books made for ADULTS not children. I think many people are afraid of what Cross mentions in her books (sex trafficing, segregation and unequality). A lot of the things that goes on in her books are still going on in other countries. I think that we are blinded by our privledge of having good lives and turn our heads away from anything we think is trying to tell us the truth, which is also shown in her books. I think she is a fantastic authoress and I couldn't imagine why anyone other than a child would be repulsed. Probably because I don't think children kow the inhumanities people can inflict on other people. Anything mentioned in her books aren't near as revolting as some things that happen in real life and I think partially to understand her you have to endure hardships. I think the people who give her bad reviews are spoiled and are sheltered to the truth of life. Life is hard and to understand hardship you have had to go through hardship. I say bravo Cross...bravo!
