Just months before the Communists roll into Saigon in 1975, Mai Ngyuen, the young Vietnamese narrator of Monkey Bridge, is packed off to the U.S. Her sorrowing mother escapes in the final hours, leaving Mai's grandfather behind. Now it's Mai who plays the elder, navigating a rude, incomprehensible culture that makes possible a sudden twist in life. "Not only could we become anything we wanted to be in America, we could change what we had once been in Vietnam," she realizes. Though Mai watches her mother's ebullient friend shave years off her age and a one-time bar girl lay claim to a virtuous past as a Confucian teacher, she never wonders how much of their lives her mother has reinvented. Following in the footsteps of The Woman Warrior, this compelling novel draws on folk tales and traditions. Despite false notes and occasionally clunky dialogue, it delivers a neat knockout punch in the end.
Book Description
Hailed by critics and writers as powerful, important fiction, Monkey Bridge charts the unmapped territory of the Vietnamese American experience in the aftermath of war. Like navigating a monkey bridge--a bridge, built of spindly bamboo, used by peasants for centuries--the narrative traverses perilously between worlds past and present, East and West, in telling two interlocking stories: one, the Vietnamese version of the classic immigrant experience in America, told by a young girl; and the second, a dark tale of betrayal, political intrigue, family secrets, and revenge--her mother's tale. The haunting and beautiful terrain of Monkey Bridge is the "luminous motion," as it is called in Vietnamese myth and legend, between generations, encompassing Vietnamese lore, history, and dreams of the past as well as of the future. "With incredible lightness, balance and elegance," writes Isabel Allende, "[Lan Cao crosses] over an abyss of pain, loss, separation and exile, connecting on one level the opposite realities of Vietnam and North America, and on a deeper level the realities of the material world and the world of the spirits."

The autroscity's of Nam........2007-03-29
I think this is one of the best novels I have read because it talks about a time in history that I am very involved in as a reader. This a great debut for Lan Cao. I like how the this novel started out. She is describing a military hospital. She describes the blood stains and the reaking aroma of death in the hospital. She tells about her family in the beginning and her mother. She tells of her stay and the prejudism she suffered living in virginia. And to top it off it has brilliant ending.
Gorgeous Imagery + Highly Engaging Story = 5 Stars.......2006-09-13
Lan Cao has written a masterpiece. "Monkey Bridge" successfully explores a complex mother-daughter relationship and details Vietnamese culture and the South Vietnamese immigrant experience. Even without a highly engaging story, however, this book deserves attention for Cao's beautiful use of langauge. Reading "Monkey Bridge" is like reading the most exquisite poetry. Easily 5 stars.
Horrid read!.......2005-12-21
I thought this book was terribly dull and uninteresting. I had to read this for a college course and was deeply disappointed in the material and the story line. I had to literally force myself to stay awake and read another sentence. Yes, it was that bad. I do not reccomend this book to anyone. In fact I have warned avid reads, like myself, to never pick the book up. I am a reader who likes thick plots, action, mystery, everything but what this book had to offer.
I do not think I learned anything that opened my mind to another culture or about life in general. The book jumped around a lot between present and past and it was easy to get confused and disinterested. Not to be too harsh but: horrible, horrible, horrible! Save yourself the time, money, and effort. Read another book.
Needs some serious editing..........2004-03-14
This book needs a lot of editing, since in it's present form it wanders aimlessly and without purpose for pages and pages before anything of substance occurs. The book and its attempt to explore the spirit world seems like a spirit: hard to grasp and unsatisfying. For better literature on Vietnam, try Le Le Hayslip's "When Heave and Earth Changed Places," which has its feet on the ground (despite the title) and a much greater emotional impact.
Beautifully Written.......2003-07-01
This novel is one of the best books I have read that combines culture, humor, and the shock that comes when one encounters the unknown. I highly suggest this book to anyone who loves to read about people discovering secrets about life and family. It is captivating in imagery and literary devices. You can almost touch the story as you venture curiously about Virginia with Mai, a young girl who escapes from Vietnam with her mother, and finds a whole new freedom she never expected.

A Neotropical Companion
ASIN: 0871565862 |
Book Description
When the Panama land bridge between North and South America formed three million years ago, plants and animals surged back and forth in the Great American Biotic Interchange, an evolutionary cross-fertilization that has created one of the world's richest and most fascinating environments.
The Monkey's Bridge is the story of Central America's role as an evolutionary link between continents. This critically acclaimed exploration combines vivid travel writing, reflections on landscape and culture, and meditations on the ecosystems unique to this region.

A great start to understanding the Central American tropics.......1998-04-08
Reviewed for The Wilderness Record, publication of the California Wilderness Coalition.
Most California environmentalists are familiar with the works of David Rains Wallace, having read his award-winning The Klamath Knot, the superb natural history of the greater Siskiyou region, or The Turquoise Dragon, an enchanting eco-thriller that takes the reader from the Bay Area to the Trinity Alps and Kalmiopsis wilderness areas. If you enjoyed these or a dozen other of his books, you will appreciate The Monkey's Bridge.
Wallace's latest natural history treatise looks at the region that linked North and South America some three million years ago and the amazing mix of flora and fauna that surged back and forth across this land bridge. His knack for bringing an region to life makes it a delight to learn about hundreds of species, volcanoes, plate tectonics, and gomphotheres.
But Wallace tells more of the story than just the natural history. He begins with the adventurers who sailed from Europe and conquered some, but definitely not all of the native peoples of Central America. Next are those trying to find a shortcut from the Alantic to the Pacific, including the French attempt to build a canal at a cost of an estimated 22,000 lives. He then brings in the naturalists, from those with the first explorers to Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace.
Much of the story is embedded in geology. The fossil record in North and South America led evolutionists to recognize the importance of this land bridge, and the revolutionary theory of plate tectonics gave us the mechanism to explain how the bridge formed.
But what really brings this book alive is that Wallace has been there, from his first three-month journey in 1971, a return in 1987 for a "gaudy bird-watching trip," and repeat visits during the last decade. He climbs the volcanoes, claws through the dense rain forests, and snorkels the coral reefs. "Big marine toads plopped in and out, acorn woodpeckers called 'Kraaaa! Kraaa' in the pines, and a flock of parakeets flew shrieking overhead," he colorfully writes.
As you surely imagine, this is not a totally happy tale. Wallace discusses the "island ecology" theories of habitat fragmentation and loss of species. He mentions the recent extinction of the flightless, grebe-like poc and the golden toad and recounts the decline of the harpy eagle. But he also describes efforts to reverse this loss of habitat through programs like Paseo Pantera ("the path of the panther") that is a major element of The Wildlands Project's strategy to protect the biodiversity of the North American continent.
Wallace clearly is in awe of the complexity and diversity of the Central American rain forest. "Sometimes I think the human language, or simply human mentality, hasn't evolved yet to the point where tropical rain forest is comprehensible or describable," he writes.
But with The Monkey's Bridge, Wallace has made a great start.

Book Description
From the renowned author of The Rough-Face Girl comes an exquisitely rendered version of one of India's best-loved tales about what it means to be a king. In the heart of Benares, on the banks of the river Ganges, stands a tree with fruit so perfect it can only be called treasure. How the tree got there is a tale of two rulers--one selfish and proud, one generous and brave--one a man and one a monkey. Having studied the Buddhist tradition for decades, Martin is at his lyrical best in this fable of how a human king's greed puts a tribe of monkeys in mortal danger, while a monkey king's sacrifice restores peace to his kingdom. Exquisitely illustrated with watercolor and gouache paintings in the authentic style of Indian and Persian miniatures, The Monkey Bridge has something important to say about the nature of true nobility and leadership.
Customer Reviews:
A Wonderful Tale.......2003-10-29
Don't read the School Library Journal's review. There were no Muslims during the time that the Buddha lived.
This is a wonderful tale that teaches children what the words love and compassion mean. The monkey king is willing to go to great lengths to save his followers. The human king learns what it means to be a caring individual. Every child that I've given this book to or read this story to has loved it. Rafe Martin is a very good author and you can buy any book that he has written with the knowledge that the contents will be worthwhile.
Great story and illustration of Buddha's past life........1999-09-11
This is a colorfully illustrated jataka tale of Buddha's past lifetime when he was a monkey king who demonstrated his bravery, sacrifice, compassion and leadership to save his tribe from danger. My four-year old son and his cousins love this book very much and so do I.

But Altman's dreams turn into nightmaresthe trail leads to a terrorist plot to blow up the American Military High School students at their spring prom in Heidelberg castle.

A big dissappointment too. Daudaurt is a great writer, but "Bridge" falls short. Find some of his earlier work if you can.

Book Description
There is no bitter snarl nor self-pity in this classic novel about the air war of 1914-1918, based very largely on the author's experiences. Combat, loneliness, fatigue, fear, comradeship, women, excitement - all are built into a vigorous and authentic structure by one of the most valiant pilots of the then Royal Flying Corps.
Customer Reviews:
What price Victory?.......2007-03-29
A ripping yarn, a must for aviation enthusiasts, replete with explicit and graphic flight scenes. The philosophizing seems more 1930's than 1918, but that's when the author published it. The way the author/hero deals with the loss of comrades is skilled writing, evoking the banality of having to get on with the job without mourning. i'm not qualified to comment on any authenticity of the feeling expressed/felt but it stands out from others of the genre for that reason. for me, it ranks with Sagittarius Rising, and Derek Robinson's work. the author enjoys spiking the sometimes purple prose with neologisms and entertaining latinisms; a trait i enjoy but others shouldn't have much trouble ignoring.
Winged Victory.......2007-02-11
One of the great novels about flying over the trenches in World War 1. The only shame is that this edition does not carry the introduction by
T E Lawrence ('Lawrence of Arabia') that the earlier editions carry. Based upon the author's own experiences in the RFC it does not glamorise the life, nor does it indulge in self-pity.
Incomparable story of WW 1 aviation........2006-09-25
This is the finest book of wartime aviation, or for that matter war, I've ever read. A pilot who took great joy in flying but not in flying in war, Tom's willingness to leave the enemy alone as long as they leave him alone is an eye opener in this era when authors like Stephen Ambrose try to elevate every person in uniform to mythological hero status. The only thing I wonder about is whether the cynicism of the pilots was prevelent during the war or is a reflection of the disillusionment these young men felt in the years after the war.
Flying Sopwith Camels Over the Front.......2006-07-05
I just finished Winged Victory last night. It really tells two stories in tandem, one is telling the day to day life of a squadron as they fly combat missions in Camels over the western front and the other is the account of the mental anguish the main character endures as the pressure of war and death become more and more unbearable. At its core the book is a tragedy with the theme being the hopelessness of war and how it destroys the living as well as the dead.
As far as the flying and combat, the book is really good. Yeats goes into detail about the Camel and what it was like to fly it. Most all of the novel is describing combat over the front; bombing, strafing and dogfighting. There is no shortage of action and it is all told well by a man who saw it all. Yeats loved to fly but hated to kill and sadly that is what these machines were all about.
One of the best.......2006-01-31
This book is probably one of the best aviation books I have ever read. This book is a fictionalized account of Victor Yeates owns experiences and it really draws you in.
Tom Cundell is the main character and he wrestles with: fear, loneliness; worries of cowardliness and just wanting to stay alive.
At certain times in the book you feel his pains and longings and loss of friends. Cundell is not the heroic aviator we have gotten used to reading about, but an average man who was swept up by patriotic fervor to enlist in the infantry and, after seeing the futility of trench warfare, transfers to the Royal Flying Corps. As an average man, who only wants to survive the war, he is even more the hero for overcoming his fears.
Victory Yeates wrote this book in 1934 while dying of tuberculosis. This book never got the acclaim it deserves but hopefully, in reprint, it will take its place as one of the best aviation books ever written.
A truly great war book.
Book Description
This new book of photographs of semi-nude women and their partners presents a remarkable portrait of breast cancer survivors, of which there are 1.6 million in the US. These photographic subjects are portrayed not as victims but as women of elegance, strength and sensuousness who have transcended their disease and resultant surgery. The women in the book range in age from their twenties to over eighty-three years. Accompanied by original poetry by Maria Marrocchino and subject written vignettes, these women redefine their self-image: breast missing, altered and reconstructed. As Dr. David Spiegel, the nationally recognized specialist in the therapy of women facing life-threatening illness notes in the foreword, "...they present their bodies and themselves with humor, sadness, vulnerability, honesty. They challenge us to look beyond what is missing, beneath the scar. They evoke admiration: of their beauty and their courage. They do not hide their loss, they transcend it."

Winged Victory: Confronting and raw but disappointing.......2007-03-10
I bought this book as I am an artist who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006 and am going to produce images that introduce my viewer to my breast cancer journey in a positive, intimate but honest way. I thought the book might assist me in mentally prepare for creating work as the front cover and initial review portrayed imagery that was artistic and provoking. Whilst I absolutely applaud the front cover and find the book haunting, the women photographed in it brave, beautiful and positive, the overall content of the book was a bit disappointing. I don't know if it was the actual printing of the book that caused it, however some of the photos were very dark tonally and some of the impact and composition was lost. I would have liked to have seen more works similar to the front cover within the book. The photos of the women were good, but I would have liked to have seen more. Art Myers obviously has skill, empathy and the ability to communicate with the women he worked with but I felt disappointed. The contributions from the survivors was honest, amusing and well done. I have since bought two other books Turning Heads and Art.Rage.Us and found them more useful. For what this book cost me as an international buyer I was disapponted.
Winged Victory: Altered Images: Transcending Breast Cancer.......2004-08-21
This is a fabulous photo book celebrating women's bodies after mastectomy. The pictures are very well done with great artistic effects.
I would recommend this for anyone going through this procedure and any medical facility providing mammograms, mastectomy and breast cancer treatment.
Courage Personified.......1999-12-07
I first viewed this book as I waited for a retake on a mammogram - a little apprehensive, and very much reminded of my sister, who just marked one year in her fight with breast cancer. I was completely taken unaware by the beauty and courage I witnessed through Art Myers' photography, but was as deeply touched by the bravery of these women of all ages who bared not only their bodies, but their souls. Many of the photographs become portraits not just of an individual, but of their support system, as well. Incorporating husbands (including one of 50+ years), children, and significant others brought tears to my eyes. The text and captions are equally moving, extremely intimate, yet not offensive. By the time I finished, I felt renewed inner peace and strength for what lay ahead for me. I plan to use this as a gift, because I saw my sister on every page - brave, beautiful, and surviving.
Customer Reviews:
Not a bad effort.......2005-07-04
This is a good effort but the Author's Book about the US Army during WWII (Theres a War to be Won) is a much better book. If you want something better, go get the Ballantine Books on the B-29,the Mosquito or Zero if you can find them.
Winged Victory.......2005-05-23
Very interesting book. I read it cover to cover. A good book for any history buff.
Check the facts.......2001-02-08
I picked up this book because I was researching my grandfather, who was a B-17 pilot shot down over Switzerland. I looked this up in the book, and immediately found inaccurate information. The author claims that only 10 crews made it to Switzerland in March of 1944, yet when my grandfather was shot down on 18 March 15 other crews were interned by the Swiss on the same day, the highest number in the entire war. The author also claims that many of the bombers landed with little or no damage, insinuating that they were intentionally getting out of the war. This is also false- the AAF conducted an extensive investigation during the war, and found that almost every bomber that landed in Switzerland had extensive damage. I'm not sure where the information in the book came from, but it is incorrect. Any crewman interned in Swizerland could have set the record straight in that regard, and there are plenty of them around who belong to the Swiss Internees Association.
Highs and lows..........2000-04-26
It is very difficult to reach a conclusion about the real quality ot this book. Intended to be a general picture of USAAF in WW II, it lacks appendices, a place where much of the lack of information in the book could be informed. It talks very little about the pilots, only about generals, and in some parts it is really a boring reading. On the other side, we must consider the author had only one book to show his point, and he did the best possible.
Not real history.......2000-01-05
This guy does not check his facts with primary sources and has many axes to grind. He has admited in interviews that he is not really an historian, but is rather a writer with research assistants and relies mostly on secondary sources. Useful only to those who know not where else to go. Really has it in for the B-29 and Hap Arnold.

Space vampires ..........2006-01-03
The Valtarie are an isolated race on their planet Valtar. They have isolated themselves because they are a winged Vampire-like race, feeding only on blood, and because the gaze of the male Valtarie is spell-binding to anyone looking into his eyes.
Although their law does not allow visitors from other planets, their king has allowed one human female, Dr. Juliana Harris, to come to Valtar to find out why Valtarie women are consistently dying in childbirth and fewer females are being born. This, of course, has led to a great imbalance of the sexes, with the few females secluded until the time of their mating. The men, most of them without mates, are growing increasingly lawless. Something must be done. Dr. Harris contacts a colleague, Abbie Brown, to come help her in her research, and the king agrees.
Traveen, the second son of the king, and a pilot, is honored with the responsibility of transporting Abbie to Valtar. He has always followed the law, and continues to do so in these circumstances by not touching this female and not looking into her eyes. Unfortunately, their spaceship crashes on a cold, snowy planet, and he must keep her alive with his body heat until the rescue party arrives, even knowing that he will forfeit his life for the transgression. Abbie, has no idea of the sacrifice he is making, until Traveen is sentenced to prison. How can she right this wrong that she so innocently caused? And can she fight her love for this forbidden man?
I was quite impressed with this full-length novel of a forbidden love between human woman and Valtarie man. This is primarily a science fiction novel with sensual interludes. The love scenes are not explicit, nor are they shocking. The problems that prevented the protagonists from being together arose naturally when their cultures clashed, and they rose admirably to surmount the obstacles that kept them apart. The most interesting aspect of the book was the way that Abbie and Traveen struggled together to overcome the hurdles placed in front of them by nature, man, and themselves, and the way that they both grew into strong characters by the end of the book. -- Jean, Fallen Angel Reviews (courtesy of Fallen Angel Reviews)
Refreshing.......2005-08-02
"Med-tech Abbie Brown is on her way to Valtar, an ancient, male dominated world, hoping to discover why the Valtarie face extinction. Despite their looks, the silver-winged Valtarie are not angels, but the race can't really be vampires, can they?
Traveen, second son of Valtar's ruler, is piloting the crystal ship escorting Abbie, Valtarie Law forbids males to touch a female for any reason, and to do so means death. When a storm forces them to crash land on a deserted ice planet, Traveen has no choice but to touch Abbie to keep her alive.
Abbie survives, and she rescues Traveen form execution. After they escape, Abbie finds herself falling in love with Traveen.
But is it really love? Or is it his hypnotic eyes and harmonic voice that are inherent for captivating females..."
-From the back cover.
I absolutely loved this book. It was a smooth read, romantic, left no unanswerd questions, refreshingly inventive, and wasn't full of pornographic love scenes on every 5th page. The book hints to more stories intertwined with this one, so I look forward to reading more about other characters mentioned.
