Book Description

Ring Lardner, Jr.’s memoir is a pilgrimage through the American century. The son of an immensely popular and influential writer, Lardner grew up swaddled in material and cultural privilege. After a memorable visit to Moscow in 1934, he worked as a reporter in New York before leaving for Hollywood where he served a bizarre apprenticeship with David O. Selznick, and won, at the age of 28, an Academy Award for Woman of the Year, the first on-screen pairing of Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn. In “irresistibly readable” pages (New Yorker), peopled by a cast including Carole Lombard, Louis B. Mayer, Dalton Trumbo, Marlene Dietrich, Otto Preminger, Darryl F. Zanuck, Bertolt Brecht, Bert Lahr, Robert Altman, and Muhammad Ali, Lardner recalls the strange existence of a contract screenwriter in the vanished age of the studio system—an existence made stranger by membership in the Hollywood branch of the American Communist Party. Lardner retraces the path that led him to a memorable confrontation with the House Un-American Activities Committee and thence to Federal prison and life on the Hollywood blacklist. One of the lucky few who were able to resume their careers, Lardner won his second Oscar for the screenplay to M.A.S.H. in 1970.

1 out of 5 stars Alice in Wonderland is a better FICTIONAL book !!!.......2004-03-07

I can not believe this. I am glad I found this book at a cheap second-hand book store ... I would have had to heave if I had paid full price.

This would be funny if it were not for the horrid nightmarish communist atrocities that these writers' supported. Communists (people ... listen) are worse than the nazis!!! The commies butchered 10 million innocent people (on record ... and that's only the former USSR alone!). These "blacklisted" people are #1 traitors to the USA (The Am. Comm. Party promotes VIOLENT OVERTHROW OF THE EXISTING GOVERNMENT) AND #2 Real Communists - heck, read the transcripts yourself !!!!!!!!!! People, you can not be that naive! Someone told me once, if the nazis won the war and the USSR communists lost (you know, role reversal), that these same "blacklisted" people would be nazis and McCarthy would have been found out to be Jewish and probably hung. And, reviewers would be hailing the courageous "BLACKLISTED" American nazi party members. Because at this point, like it is now, TRUTH IS RELATIVE!

What can I say???? This is a blatant slap in the face at the truth. Look at his sources ... I mean ...come on!!! The authors are dedicated and determined to stick the knife in the gut of the truth (and they do not mind all the blood ... because he is sticking it in deep).

Heck, there are so many documents and books that prove this book is, at most, only be used as a stabilizer for an uneven table. But I just used the pages for the bottom of my bird cage .... heck, no one will notice the crap on crap ... will they???

People Listen!!! These same people blacklisted just changed their names and went on. The real backlist contained those people who testified AGAINST THEM. They were out of their jobs (ain't hollywood great). One more interesting deal to look into. These poor American Commies that were supposedly blacklisted? Look where they are now (there is this book, written by a liberal, about 8 on the blacklist - I can not recall the name), they are behind the most perverse and commie-leaning movies and tv shows ever made in the USA!!!

Now it has always been my opinion that the Hollywood communists were more Lenin leaning than, say, the American political communists. AND, one main point of the Leninists is to tear-down the morals of the society . De-root them at all costs AND HE STRESSED FAMILY AND RELIGION to be the main focus. This makes the people easy prey and a DEPENDANT, SHEEPISH group of slaves but willing people ready for indoctrination by a strong centralized government. The evil Lenin was actually pretty smart ... for a communist. Most of the others are highly over-rated. Like Marx, he stole almost everything he wrote (mostly from philosophers - ancient and modern); he was really ignorant and Engels was just a rich spoiled brat supporting him (the bum-hero Marx). It's a joke that it lasted as long as it did. Well ... not a joke because millions of innocent people died. They are as bad as the nazis ... but you will never hear it from these blacklisted people contained in this book ... their blinded by their loyalty to "the cause".

Actually, this book makes me mad. They were communists and they did harm patriots who turned them in.

5 out of 5 stars Spoken Softly, Hard Hitting.......2002-04-13

Less an autobiography and more a series of reflections, philosophies, and anecdotes, I'd Hate Myself In The Morning is a slender but superb work by one of the most underrated writers America has ever produced. I say underrated because he was not only competing with the legacy of his famous father, but also because of his experiences with the blacklist and his subsequent emergence from that period, all of which Lardner discusses with a candor that is very engaging, honest, and thought-provoking. In noting that he passed away shortly after the book was published, it casts a very eerie, but not creepy, shadow over the last chapter in which he discusses his views on mortality and death. A very quick read and well worth it.

5 out of 5 stars Lardner's Farewell.......2000-12-20

Ring Lardner, Jr. died shortly after the publication of _I'd Hate Myself in the Morning_ (Thunder's Mouth Press), at the age of eighty-five. He was the last of the famous Hollywood Ten, those who were jailed by the House Un-American Activities Committee for being Communists. He also landed on the blacklist, unable to get the studio work he had previously and lucratively enjoyed with Twentieth Century Fox. He was a hero to many, but his humorous, delightfully self-effacing memoir shows he didn't think he fit that role. He writes, "I try to suggest that we weren't as heroic as people make us out to be. It would be more analytically precise, it seems to me, to say that we did the only thing we could do under the circumstances."

Lardner's time in our nation's history, his membership in the Communist Party, and his work in the movies make this a unique memoir. Those who read his touching recollections will learn about screenwriting in a type of studio system that no longer exists, and about a type of Americanism (and American Communism) that also no longer exists. He writes with grace and amusement about his own mistakes and those of others. The wit that won him Oscars for _Woman of the Year_ in 1942 and _M*A*S*H_ in 1970 is clearly on display, as is a lack of rancor for how his nation and his fellow movie makers treated him. This book is a warm farewell.

5 out of 5 stars A Quiet Hero.......2000-12-05

Ring Lardner, Jr. wrote as naturally as others breathe. He was serious about serious issues but uncomplaining, even when he was jailed by American thought police. He is humorous on matters worthy of humor and profound, without being heavy, as he considers age, infirmity and the shortcomings of conventional religion. Like the man himself, this book is nothing short of a gem.

5 out of 5 stars The definitive book on the Hollywood 10.......2000-11-29

This is a very, very good book. Yes, it starts a little slow as he sets the stage from his young life. And the chapters on his involvement with communism do not fully explain what his attraction to communism was. But I think after much research and book reading, this book allowed me to get as close as I could to the answer. And the answer is, in the current political environment of my life, you can never fully understand the travesty of the depression and the Spanish issues in the 30s and therefore, we can never totally feel why free Americans would feel so strongly about communism. So, I've finally closed my research on this subject thanks to Ring Lardner, Jr.

This book has some great highlights which should be cherished by the readers. Dalton Trumbo may be the most celebrated of the Hollywood 10 and his humorous attempts to write and get credit for writing are quite interesting during the Blacklist period. The book correctly conveys the lives which were altered or damaged by this horrible period in America freedom.

Another interesting subject is the few movies that are mentioned showing how the screenwriting process changed the movie completely from the original story. For example, I had read the great sports novel, "Semi-tough", by Dan Jenkins. Lardner wrote a screenplay and a new director had it completely rewrote focusing not on football but on mystical self-improvement gurus. I had always wondered how a movie could so butcher a very funny book so it was nice to get closure on a 30 year old question.

Lardner wrote and won an Academy Award for "Mash". This provides more interesting reading on a movie which is still significant in the landscape of American cinema.

The next to last chapter provides a look not at history but directly into the soul of this interesting man. What starts out as a description of growing old turns into an exceptional essay on his beliefs or nonbeliefs in religeon. Regardless of your feelings, this is fascinating chapter that may challenge your own beliefs.

In closing, I believe you will enjoy this read of a man who led a full life suffering through the Hollywood 10 tragedy and early deaths of brothers in Spain and WWII. I recommend this book specifically to readers interested in Hollywood, American history in the 20th century, or biographies of famous writers.

    Book Description

    With a wicked sense of humor and a born writer’s perfect timing, Kate Lardner conjures up the Hollywood of the McCarthy era. In a kaleidoscopic and irresistible memoir, Lardner brings to life her jumbled childhood in a household of artistically talented, larger-than-life grown-ups.

    When Kate was not yet two, her father, David, was killed while on assignment for The New Yorker in war-torn Germany. Two years later her mother, the actress Frances Chaney, married David’s brother—a marriage that endured for more than fifty years. Ring was already a successful screenwriter, having won an Oscar for cowriting the Katharine Hepburn-Spencer Tracy hit Woman of the Year; in 1971 he collected another one for M*A*S*H.

    Shortly thereafter, Ring was called to testify before the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Asked about his membership in Hollywood’s Communist Party, Lardner said: “I could answer. . . . but if I did, I would hate myself in the morning.” This much-publicized declaration of silence sent Lardner to prison. Subsequently neither he nor Frances could get work, which marked the beginning of Kate’s blacklist childhood—and took the family from Mexico City to rural Connecticut to Manhattan.

    Kate Lardner presents a vivid, behind-the-scenes look at the personal and family costs of weathering this ruthless and absurd period in history. She writes: “I wanted to tell my story of the events I had inherited. A therapist once told me she had the dirty job of ushering me into the real world. And now that I am more or less there, I have decided the time has come.”

    4 out of 5 stars AN AFFECTING MEMOIR.......2004-12-16



    Some would like to quantify Kate Lardner's considerable authorial skills as being genetic, passed down through blood and ink from her famous dad, Ring Lardner, Jr.. Not so. Kate's real father was killed when she was a small child. Several years later her mother married Ring Lardner. Let's give this lady credit where credit is due - she has penned a wry, sad, funny memoir all on her own.
    Granted, she did grow up in an artistic Hollywood household during the McCarthy era, a time when actors and authors were hauled before the House Un-American Activities Committee and asked not only about their membership in Hollywood's Communist Party but that of their friends.

    Ring Lardner's response to these queries is oft quoted: "I could answer....but if I did, I would hate myself in the morning." For this, Lardner was sent to prison. After his release he found himself blacklisted and was unable to find work.

    Of the letters her stepfather wrote from prison, Kate said, "My dad gave me the letters when I began interviewing him. I never expected to use them to the extent that I did. But I read them over and over and I wanted the reader to have the experience I had reading them. The waiting. The hope of parole. The visit."

    "Shut Up He Explained" (a title taken from a short book penned by her grandfather, Ring Lardner, Sr.) is the affecting story of a childhood spent in the shadow of Blacklisting. Of the alcoholism that has plagued her family Kate said it was and is a disease of "isolation and low self-esteem." She felt very much set apart due to the Blacklist.

    Yet, she never felt shame but rather saw her step-father's action as heroic. Still, it was this event that ordained the family's future and shaped the childhood of a small girl.

    Far from a bleak memoir, this series of remembrances is often high spirited. After all, the author grew up among a remarkably talented group of people who knew how to sometimes make the best of times out of the worst of times.

    Read it and hope that such a devastating event never takes place again, and marvel at a family's resilience.

    1 out of 5 stars Who is getting the royalties???.......2004-07-28

    I admit that I typically do not read books along the lines of "memoirs" and "autobiographies". But the subject matter was intriquing, the descriptions were fabulous, heck -- the reviews were great! So, I was sold! I ordered the book -- two days later I received it, another two days later I was done with it, and two days after that I'm still mad that I read it!!!

    My big question is -- who is making the money off of this book? The first half of the book is pretty much letters between the author's mom and dad. And somehow, I think, we the readers are supposed to catch a glimpse of the author's life through these. Well, it failed. I learned nothing about how hard it was to be a blacklisted kid from the parents discussing (in beautiful prose) the details of parole. But i had hope for the second half of the book -- it looked like the author wrote this part.

    To my dismay, the story did not improve. Aside from the cloud "blacklisted" being over her growing up years, this story could have been ANY kids story! Of course we all have first loves. Of course we all started drinking. Of course high school was hard and we all tried to find a way to make the pain go away. That's what high school is -- experimental!!! And, I'm sorry the first marriage didn't work out -- is there anyone who isn't aware of the divorce statistic these days?

    At the end of it all, after reading about all of the writing the author did in school, I'm hoping this isn't the best she's got.

      Book Description

      This classic novel is the story of what happens when an idealistic, fiercly honest young man tries to reconcile Roman Catholic dogma with the realities of America of the 1940s. In this brilliantly comic and pungent tale, Lardner dissects the thought control of the McCarthy era, business ethics, racial intolerance, repressive sexual attitudes, the Manhattan nightclub set, "enlightened" penology, vigilantism, and other social phenomena. The ecstasy which Owen Muir seeks is of both the earthly and the spiritual kind, and his wonderfully funny fate lies in the fact that he cannot have his flesh and eat it, too.

A ball player never recalls a reporter's face on less than six introductions or his name on less than twenty. However, I resolved to speak to him, and had just mustered sufficient courage to open a conversation when he saved me the trouble. "Whose picture have they got there?" he asked, pointing to my paper.

        5 out of 5 stars A Real Find For Lardner Fans.......2001-01-26

        Since only a small portion of the great Ring Lardner's work is still in print (i.e., "You Know Me Al" and various collections of his sports writing and short stories), this well-chosen collection of his letters is a happy discovery for fans of the humorist. As one would expect from Lardner, the letters are breezy, funny, and full of acerbic insight. Enormously popular in his day and now sadly forgotten, Lardner corresponded with a veritable Who's Who of his time. Mr. Caruthers is to be commended for his intelligent selection of letters, as well as his helpful commentary and annotation. Reading these letters makes one wish that some enterprising publisher would release the Collected Works of Ring Lardner. Until such time, we deprived fans must be grateful for small gems such as this book.

But worst of all it came to me with drawings of penises and female nudity and almost any vulgar image you could imagine on almost EVERY PAGE!!! Now I have to explain to everyone when they see senior lopez on page 50 with a **** in his mouth that it came to me that way! DO. NOT. ORDER. USED.

                1 out of 5 stars Choose another Spanish book, if you can........2005-07-23

                As a Spanish teacher and native speaker I wouldn't recommend this book to my worst student. I had the "pleasure" to teach this book for 3 years (formerly named "Bienvenidos", "A bordo" and "Buen Viaje")and I didn't like it the least. The publishers came up with a new format this year but although it looks more attractive you can still find many of the SAME old activities and many of the old pictures. The vocabulary section at the end of each chapter don't have the English translation what makes it quite difficult for the student when reviewing vocabulary. They have improved the culture sections,though; but still it is not good enough. If you learn Spanish using this book, please THANK your teacher, he/she has a lot of work to do when using this book. Buena suerte!

                4 out of 5 stars Two Teachers.......2001-12-24

                This book has good info. Not only Spanish words, but a LOT of cultural history, maps, photos, etc. They have really good, clear, explanations. I used this book for my Spanish class. But, the book alone won't get you to speak fluent Spanish. Of course, my teacher played a HUGE role in teaching me, but theis book is great. Who knows, maybe if we finished the whole book, I'd be fluent, but it IS worth it. Trust me.

                "When I read these notes for the first time, I was quite young myself and I immediately identified with this man who narrated his adventures in such a spontaneous manner . . .

                "There were moments when I literally took over Granado's place on the motorbike and clung to my dad's back, journeying with him over the mountains and around the lakes . . .

                "To tell you the truth, the more I read, the more I was in love with the boy my father had been . . ."- from Aleida Guevara's preface

                "A journey, a number of journeys. Ernesto Guevara in search of adventure, Ernesto Guevara in search of America, Ernesto Guevara in search of Che. On this journey of journeys, solitude found solidarity, 'I' turned into 'we'."-Eduardo Galeano

                I purchased this item with the false idea that the CD included actual people who could pronounce Spanish words. What I got was a CD that has a computer generated voice that is almost (I use almost very loosely) completely garbled. It takes every effort I have to make out the English words he says, nevermind the Spanish ones. A total waste of $100.00.

                    Book Description

                    HEAVEN, EARTH, TEQUILA: Un Viaje al Corazón de México features the work of award-winning photographer Douglas Menuez, who over the past four years has created a stunning body of images that explore the cultural side of tequila and of México itself. This photographic journey of discovery began when Menuez and his Mexican-born friend Andrés Zamudio traveled to the little-known town of Tequila to document the ancient techniques for making tequila. They thought they knew México, but came to reach a much deeper understanding of the extremely complex history and mestizo culture of the Mexican people. The book reveals the ongoing Aztec traditions from which tequila was born, from the history of the agave plant to how its most famous product became a symbol of Mexico, and in doing so, offers the reader a unique glimpse into the soul of this fascinating country.

                    5 out of 5 stars Viva Tequila.......2006-03-23

                    This book lived up to its billing as beautiful and informative. Visitors and friends are drawn to it. With the skyrocketing price of tequila and mezcal it's good to have a quality publication dealing with the history and culture. A good insight to a part of Mexican culture.

                    5 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Exploration.......2006-02-20

                    Menuez combines beautiful photographs and informative text to paint a picture both of a region and an industry. From the darkly provocative picture on the cover (of naked men working in pits of agave pressings) to those of the people and landscape of the region, he creates a sense of Jalisco (the province where all tequila is produced) that draws the reader in. For those who know only that tequila is what goes in a margarita, the text enlightens the reader regarding the complexities of tequila and the culture that surrounds it.

                    4 out of 5 stars Comfortable reading.......2000-08-07

                    For a Spanish language student who has taken 2 semesters, and is fluent in English, this is comfortable, somewhat entertaining material. After reading this book once for my Brandeis University class, during this summer I have read it 3 times more, because it is a nice way to review. It is very comprehensible material, and the glossary and notes make it is easy to look up unknown words if you need to. I am logged on right now to buy the next book in the series.
