Book Description
Upon the recent publication of Fasting, Feasting, critics raved about Anita Desai: "Desai is more than smart; she's an undeniable genius" (Washington Post Book World). The Wall Street Journal called Fasting, Feasting "poignant, penetrating . . . a splendid novel, " while the Boston Globe celebrated Desai's "beautiful literary universe." Now, in this richly diverse collection, Desai trains her luminous spotlight on private universes, stretching from India to New England, from Cornwall to Mexico. Skillfully navigating the fault lines between social obligation and personal loyalties, the men and women in these nine tales set out on journeys that suddenly go beyond the pale -- or surprisingly lead them back to where they started from. In the mischievous title story, a beloved dog brings nothing but disaster to his obsessed master; in other tales, old friendships and family ties stir up buried feelings, demanding either renewed commitment or escape. And in the final exquisite story, a young woman discovers a new kind of freedom in Delhi's rooftop community. With her trademark "perceptiveness, delicacy of language, and sharp wit" (Salman Rushdie) in full evidence here, Anita Desai once again gloriously confirms that she is "India's finest writer in English" (Independent).

Jewels on a platter - dazzling and colourful stories.......2003-09-08
Like that enticing assortment of your favourite chocolates laid out invitingly in a tray, each with its own flavour and aroma but broadly speaking, all from the same family, these stories sparkle with life and dazzle you with their charm. They are utterly delightful and exuberant pieces of craft, with a lingering aftertaste. Although each stands distinctly apart from the other, they all have in common the aim to capture the most exquisite and unspeakable moments of human life (and for a majority of stories, Indian life ). These snatches of Indian life, a sister to ours, remind us that the subcontinent is one big cultural brotherhood, in fact if not in spirit.
Bypassing the obvious to capture the evasive is a quality particular to the short story, whose genre is ideally suited to treat the ephemeral. Its constraints allow to expand only sufficiently what the leniency of the novel would lose in all its space. A genre more purely aesthetic and much less moral-bound than its counterparts in prose, it's all about conveying impressions and creating impact. Its constraints rule out indulgence and superfluousness, making it the ideal genre to tackle the subtle.
It is exactly this attribute that Anita Desai capitalizes on. She captures moments and emotions high in delicacy and measures an exact number of words to draw them up - one word less and the sketch is left wanting, one word more and it's already redundant. Her expression is the language of fragility itself and she tackles the most discreet of subjects with effortless poise. Her stories move between a whole range of moods; from exuberant to mellow, from exultant to creastfallen, from delight to ennui, from expectant to disappointed. Her word, like the stroke of the seasoned artist, is sure of itself, it never wavers or falters and fits in its place like a jewel.
In some stories, characters try to grapple with figments of their past which surface unexpectedly, This is the case in `Royalty', `Underground', `T Tomorrow' and `Winterscape'. Characters from the past reappear after long absences and are incompatible with the present. Efforts to accommodate them are slowly swallowed by the demands of routine and changed priorities. This causes disappointments, regrets and sadness. Sometimes, this visit by an `appariton of the past' can momentarily relieve the monotony of life. And it is this moment in time that the story freezes - this strange relief before life resumes its regular drone.
On the lines of James Joyce's `Araby', only a lot more fathomable is `The Artist's Life' - about youth's disillusion...that fraction of a second in which by the slightest jolt an idol falls and an icon breaks. The intensity of this moment in youth, so ridiculously melodramatic and absurd in retrospect - that is the story.
`Five hours to Simla' sketches a colourful, entertaining and exasperating interlude in a family's drive to Simla. Animated by spashes of local colour - Indian sights, Indian sounds and some very Indian loonies.
In a clear Kafkaesque vein, with all its brooding mood is the freaky `The Man Who Saw Himself Drown'. As intriguing as it is irresistible, the story mingles absurdity with sorrow. Very floutingly Sarterian. Less brooding but as tragic, `Diamond Dust' probes the limits of human devotion.
The last and my favourite, `Rooftop Dwellers' is about a young girl embracing the odds of independent life in pursuit of her goals. Her new lodging is her dream house but is not without its inconveniences. This newfound freedom is an exhilarating feeling, one she chooses over everything else.
Much short of grandiloquence but not the least embarrassed of it, these stories appeal to you with all the miniature beauty of trinkets. Surrender to them and let them seduce u with their dainty appeal.
Amazing diversity of themes.......2001-06-09
I enjoyed reading Desai's Diamond Dust and other Stories due to the wide range of themes she explores in these stories, ranging from insensitivity to others as in" Royalty" , human obsessions as in the title story ,the need for privacy in " Underground " ,sibling and filial relationships in a cross-cultural framework as in "Winterscape" , a nostalgia for the bygone days and times as in " Tepoztlan Tomorrow " .The sense of place is very strong in these stories , bringing about a confluence of cultures ,and casts an undeniable influence onthe characters ,moulding their perceptions and affecting their choices . The stories are memorable due to the powerful delineation of characters reflecting the subtle shades of the complex human personality .The stories stir up the feelings of the reader through the psychological depth and the perceptive tone .The element of drama and climactic conflict seems to be lacking in these stories , yet it is the imaginative vitality and the poetic vision of the author which becomes the tour de force of these stories .
Pretentious or pedestrian, I cant't really decide.......2001-02-14
Okay, this is an opinion but I didn't like this book. This was not a book for me. I read it, at every step I was caught between what I interpreted to be either dither pretentiousness or elevated lierary pedestrianism, but as I wrote, this is my opinion only. But, as far as I was conerned, worse still I liked it so little that I was virtually compelled to tell someone. To say that this is a brilliant set of observations of humanity would be like saying that a photocopier is capable of seeing into the soul of man, analyzing it, making it extremely and tediously dull, and them making double sided copies of it, in black, gray and white.
Sorry to be so jaundiced but I really don't see what all the fuss is about...
Good Read.......2000-07-22
Some of these stories are excellent, some just good. Winterscape was one of the best stories I've read. I found the collection to be an excellent observation of "East" meets "West." "Underground" had an especially excellent exploration of this theme.
Insight and humor.......2000-05-28
These colorful stories show people in diverse locales having similar attitudes and behaviors. The metaphor for spiritual nourishment runs through them in the status of food served. Desai's writing is vivid and subtly humorous. A highly recommended collection.

Joni's First Devotional book.......2007-09-20
When a young family member died, I began looking for writers that were "real", "genuine". People who lived through bad, bad days when their faith was challenged.Joni is someone who is very real and transparent about her struggles with faith in a God that allows "bad things" to happen to you and they aren't miraculously cured like Job who got everything he lost and more returned. People like Joni never get back what they lost, but as she tells you in these daily meditations she received much much more. This occurred during and after her inner transformance in her relationship with God. An excellent book for people with Back Injuries, Chronic Pain, Fibromyalgia, TMJ, etc. More so if they were Christians before the condition.
Wonderful devotional!!.......2002-10-24
Joni writes from the heart and it shows in her devotional. Most days the topics deal with reflections of everyday people. But her way of looking at them and how they relate to the days scripture, will warm your heart. Nothing deep, just inspiring, like Joni!!
Excellent Devotional--a great supplement to scripture.......2000-10-07
My wife and I read one every night before bed. Joni has great insight and the writings are comparable in their scope and depth to the Oswald Chamber's collection.
We are on our 2nd time around. A scripture is the theme of each daily writing.
Excellent daily devotional book for anyone........1998-12-16
This is the best devotional I've ever read, everyday is uplifting and inspirational. It is a great gift for anyone!

Combative and curmudgeonly, Detective Superintendent Peter Diamond has never been a favorite with his fellow cops. However, this head of the Bath, England, murder squad could always count on the loyalty and affection of his wife, Stephanie. Until now. Her broad-daylight shooting in Diamond Dust, the seventh of Peter Lovesey's scrupulously polished Diamond mysteries, has the stout detective sidelined in favor of other investigators less prone to turn the case into a personal vendetta, yet still determined to find a motive for his spouse's slaying. "Throughout their marriage," Diamond muses, "Steph... had never directly benefited from the one skill he had: sleuthing. She was entitled to it now. He would find her killer, and to hell with the problems it raised."
So, even as Diamond becomes the prime suspect in this tragedy (the murder weapon was an old revolver he'd secreted in his attic), he pursues more probable perpetrators--including a local gangster clan and Stephanie's ex-husband, a ne'er-do-well chef who might also be connected with an elaborate jewel-theft scheme and the recent disappearance of another cop's wife. Lovesey created two historical series before tackling the Diamond books, and his experience shows here as he carefully weaves together profuse plot threads, while simultaneously (and convincingly) forcing his protagonist's evolution through misfortune. That he succeeds in making the testy-before-his-time Peter Diamond an endearing figure is, alone, credit to Lovesey's authorial aptitude. Diamond Dust fans should hunt up previous installments of this witty series, especially Bloodhounds and The Vault. --J. Kingston Pierce
Book Description
Detective Superintendent Peter Diamond is confronted with a crime that hits too close to home.

A sparkling introduction (for me) to Lovesy.......2005-05-02
Peter Lovesey's Peter Diamond mysteries are very happily to my taste. I like Peter Diamond, the kind of person he is, what he stands for in the bigger picture. He reminds me of Ruth Rendell's Chief Inspector Wexford, except that he is a little lest prosperous and a little more philosophical. Or perhaps a better comparison would be with Henning Mankell's Inspector Kurt Wallander. Diamond is a richly drawn character and this story chases him into a maze that brings his personal life most horribly into context with his work. I got into the Peter Diamond series fairly late in the game and I've been toying with the idea of going back and starting from the beginning, kind of like we did with Reginald Hill's Daziel and Pascoe mysteries. There are some 22 books prior to this one and I don't know how many feature Peter Diamond. Another one or two like this one, and I know it will be worth the investment in time to find out.
A cracker of a Book!.......2004-04-05
I wondered how this book would play out after the shocking beginning, but I shouldn't have doubted Peter Lovesey's skill. He writes a great book! His plots and characterizations are wonderful. In this book the curmudgeonly detective Peter Diamond is confronted with a crime that comes too close to home. He is sidelined by the brass for this, the biggest murder case of his career, but he vows that he will use his unique talent to bring his wife's killer to justice. There are more red herrings and leads for him to follow, and we the readers think it's a whole slew of different people, but Lovesey plays it out until the startling conclusion. This is a thickly textured and compelling book, and it is also a watershed book for Diamond. We wonder at the end what kind of man and detective we will have in subsequent stories. This is probably the strongest entry in an already strong series.
Best yet.......2004-03-11
As a fan of Peter Lovesey's stuff, I found this Diamond story the best yet. Coming to the end was almost like nearing the end of a great gourmet meal. After reading his earlier stories of Peter Diamond, the way this one begins comes as a shock, but the story plays out well after accepting the reality of what he is facing. First rate book!
Mildly entertaining, but underdeveloped........2004-02-02
Book has great possibility, but Lovesey simply can't slow down the action in the book to allow any cogitation by the reader. His characters are potentially interesting, but in his rush to get his story told, any depth of character is virtually impossible.
He also needs to give more depth and specifics to his settings, e.g. the Dorchester Hotel (probably unknown to most Americans) also to his characters, the con man in the plot re diamonds was a wonderful opportunity to write a fully fleshedd-out character. Most damaging is the dialogue: almost always the dialogue has this numbing sameness, so that the speaker's voice and content could come from almost any character. I hate the word, but Lovesey needs some "nuance" in his characters speech, some subtlety and shading. Also, major plot flaw re jogger. Why not make every effort to find her? Diamond's grief is genuine no doubt, but I (perhaps not other readers) found it factitious and unconvincing. A pretty good plot spoiled by an author who either cannot or will not deepen his writing.
Best Diamond so far.......2003-07-31
Having read all the previous Peter Diamond mysteries, I found "Diamond Dust" to be even better than the others, and the others are excellent. From the kick-in-the-stomach beginning to the trapdoor-under-your-feet ending, it's a winner. Just when you think you've got it nailed, it springs back. Can't wait to read the next one.

Book Description
Desai writes exquisitely, with wit and delicacy, charm and compassion about ordinary lives in a disconcerting world.
Old relationships stir up buried resentments, a beloved dog causes havoc, a businessman away from home sees his own death, and freedom springs in surprising ways. In this brilliant new collection of stories, Anita Desai takes us to where hopes and dreams clash with disappointment and the human spirit shines strongly from India to Canada and New England, from Cornwall to Mexico.

Diamond Dust is full of treasures of short stories!.......2007-05-17
If you don't know Anita Desai, the Indian-German writer and author, you should get to know her. She might be the next Nobel Prize winner in literature. This compilation of short stories was picked up by me at a drugstore for only a dollar. The short stories include in this selection are Royalty, Winterscape about an Canadian Indian man and his unusual parentage, Diamond Dust which is truly a tragedy about a beloved animal, Underground about a British couple traveling abroad, The Man Who Saw Himself Drown is an unusual but entertaining story, The Artist's Life, Five Hours to Simla or Faisla, Tepozlan Tomorrow, and The Rooftop Dwellers. Desai's writing style is packed with details and information about the characters, the setting, and the story involved. Desai's writing style is easy to read but you have to read closely to really appreciate her style and language use. I loved Winterscape the best so far, broke my heart in Diamond Dust, was amused by a man who saw himself drown and lived to tell about it, and I'm working through the rest but I bet she doesn't disappoint her readers.

Double Book edition
Book Description
A classic fictional chronicle of life on the open trail, THE LOG OF A COWBOY has long been considered the best and most reliable account of real cowboy life ever written. In the years following the Civil War, sixteen-year-old Andy Adams left his home in the San Antonio Valley and took to the range. Here he charts his first journey as a bona fide cowboy, from south Texas to Montana along the western trail. Guided by his plainspoken, sure-saddled voice and the living, breathing feel of firsthand experience on every page, we relive dusty cattle drives, perilous river crossings, honor-based gunfights, and narrow escapes from buffalo stampedes, not to mention tall tales passed around the campfire and such unforgettable characters as Bull Durham and Bill Blades. THE LOG OF A COWBOY, newly introduced by Thomas McGuane, offers a true depiction of a cowboy's life and work as well as a classic adventure story of the great American frontier.
Customer Reviews:
Too Familiar.......2007-09-23
I have completely lost track of the number of editions and printings I have seen of this book, over the years, and a quick search with Google will produce a number of different free e-texts available on-line. However, almost every edition known to me is missing an introduction; there is therefore (1) no information about the author, and (2) no information as to whether what we have is a novel written in documentary style, or an actual nonfiction account of a typical trail drive in the early 1880s.
Well, folks, it's a novel, as the largely symbolic names for the characters might indicate: Priest, Flood, Officer, Strayhorn, Forrest, Blades, Wheat, Straw, etc., etc. I finally got around to reading it, and enjoyed it. Nothing spectacular or overdrawn--- it would not be surprising to discover that every incident is based on something that directly happened to the author or one of his cowboy sidekicks during his trail-herding days. All the classic situations are here, including visits to Dodge City and Oglalla, fiendishly difficult river crossings, stampedes, rustlers, con-men and segundos, chuck wagons and remudas, saloon gunfights and card-sharping. The number of 20th Century western authors who turned to this 1903 novel to obtain some authentic details to insert into their own trail-drive sequences is probably also close to uncountable.
Stampedes, Dance Hall Girls, Shootouts... It's All Here - a review of "The Log of a Cowboy".......2007-07-10
"The Log of a Cowboy" was published in 1903 and tells the story of a five month long trail drive that took the circle-dot long horns from just a little south of Brownsville up into the Indian territory of the Blackfoot Agency - a 'pasear' of nearly 3000 miles.
When I came to this book, I didn't exactly know what to expect. The only other western I had read since childhood was "The Virginian", a book that seemed very fictional (although I enjoyed it greatly). "Log of a Cowboy" is entirely different. It reads more like an autobiography -- which some historians have suggested it is. Certainly there is an authentic feel to the book that is unmistakable. Rather than being over the top, the stampedes and gun battles are underplayed, although they certainly maintain their own levels of excitement.
My own response to the book: I found it hard to put it down. The story was full of adventure and cow and cowboy trivia and it was just plain fun. I ended my read with a great deal more respect for the cowboy and his craft. Who knew that cattle liked to bed down on higher terrain?!?
Five Stars. Despite being fiction, "Log of a Cowboy" remains a wonderful historical resource. Persons interested in the Old West should find it a satisfying read, although they should not expect a overly polished presentation. And for those who are considering this book for younger readers it should be noted that there are some very non-PC(politically correct) speech and actions. This book was, afterall, written over one hundred years ago.
~reviewed by Pam T.~
An awesome book! .......2007-04-18
My only comment is the author glossed over some of the hardships. There is a section of the drive where they have to round up the cattle after a stampede and go some time without sleep or food. He mentions this but doesn't dwell on it. I'm guessing this fits with cowboys not complaining in the face of hardship. Cowboy Up! Read this book!
The log of a Cowboy .......2007-01-11
Very well done. The naritive is "Old Elnglish style" and was somewhat hard to get used to reading. After a while I realised that the cross section of people on cattle drives added to the stories.
Written by a cowboy who was there........2006-08-14
Andy Adams is one of the rare authentic 1800's trail riding cowboys who had the ability and desire to put his experiences in writing for us to read in future generations. He obviously realized that he had lived through a time period that would capture peoples imaginations for years to come, but that would soon disappear forever. What sets him apart from the others is his beautiful writing style, and flair for the dramatic. This story of a three thousand mile cattle drive from Texas to Montana is written in first person, and sounds for all the world like an autobiographical story. It is only the occasional reference to his main character, Tom Quirk, that reminds you that he is not describing actual events in a long cattle drive. But the details he includes, his knowledge of horses and longhorns, the stories told around the campfires, and his understanding of the sometimes bullish behavior of his cowboy companions, including their rigid adherence to the Cowboy code of the west, lets you know that he did experience this world in first person. He had ridden those trails for many years, and had seen the unfenced expanses of the American west in those glorious times. This is a book that deserves inclusion in any serious collection of Western history books.
Book Description
Confessions Of a Crabgrass Cowboy is a tale about coming of age in a fresh and eccentric environment called suburbia. As a personal memoir, the book details the vicissitudes of replacing playground bullies with "Playboy Playmates," while simultaneously preparing daily for the Armageddon we were promised was right around the corner.
Confessions Of a Crabgrass Cowboy also chronicles the cultural quirks of the era itself-Dick and Jane, CONELRAD, Charles Atlas, Tupperware®, X-Ray spectacles, coon skin caps, and anatomically correct dolls are but a handful-that we now so closely and warmly associate with this distinctive period in American history.
Were Dick and Jane the only children in American without a surname? Did Battle Creek, Michigan really exist? Were the prodigious privates of John Dillinger really placed briefly on display at the world-renowned Smithsonian Institute? Were the lyrics of the Kingsmen's 1963 one-hit-wonder "Louie Louie" as obscenity-laced as many believed? What hapless sitcom blew the lid off the unspoken toilet taboo by exposing millions of viewers to the interior of an American bathroom for the first time?
So saddle up for a leisurely ride back in time and discover what all the fuss was really about.
