He just won a prestigous book award, and it caused quite a stir because the book, "The Amber Spyglass" was -- ostensibly -- a children's book, and the award had never gone to a children's book before. I heard about him during all the Harry Potter hype, where some book critics, while decrying the derivative nature of JK Rowling's creation, were recommending Pullman's "Dark Materials" trilogy (of which Amber Spyglass is the finale) as a more intellectual alternative. Well, I've just finished the whole trilogy, and here are a couple of observations: 1)There is no comparison to Harry Potter. While the Potter books were fine in their whizz-bang, Enid Blyton-goes-Wicca sort of way, the Dark Materials trilogy is a darker, deeper, far more complex beast, drawing on sources such as Milton and Blake, and dealing with complicated and thoroughly thought out mythologies and worlds. 2) I read somewhere that these books could be read individually. They can't. You have to start at the beginning and work your way through them, without leaving too big a gap between them. A year went by between me finishing the first and picking up the last, and I was absolutely baffled by what was going on. 3)I'm not even sure they're for kids. Apart keeping all the characters straight, I found this really quite hard going, with mythology overlapping mythology, and talks on theology and physics and the combination of the two. While there's nothing I wouldn't want kids reading (unless you're a Christian, then by the end you'd find a really good excuse to stoke up the ol' bonfire), towards the end, I found myself reading some paragraphs over and over again, just to figure out what the author and his characters were taking for granted. That said, this trilogy is thought-provoking, inventive stuff, setting up a series of alternate worlds and the friction between them, all the while focussing on the adventures of one girl and her transition to adulthood. Imagine a cyberpunk version of C.S. Lewis' "Perelandra" trilogy, and you're almost there. Just thought someone out there might be interested. adam k. np Melissa Ferrick/Valentine Heartbreak (q: is there such a thing as being overferricked?

Did you see the Pullman interview in the Observer months ago? The one in which he discussed why he thinks they're children's books? In the US, they initially were marketed for young adults/adults rather than children, and he disagreed with that approach. I remember being in an Oxford bookshop when the third book was first published in hardcover. Two sisters (probably around 8 and 10 years old) were fighting over it because Mom would only buy ONE copy. As an English teacher, that's the kind of fight I want to see -- who will read it first. :) Ellen ===== "Literature stops in 1100.

Actually if I can remember my news right BOB MOULD will have THREE new albums to release sometime in the coming year or two. MODULATE is the first of the three and if I remember correctly is more electronic leaning and with loops, but I may be wrong. One of the albums is more rock based, and the other I can't remember. MOULD also sang on KRISTIN's old band THROWING MUSES' album RED HEAVEN. He did guest vocal work on the song DIO. Probably the most underrated album by THROWING MUSES it was just KRISTIN and DAVID at that point TANYA having just left to form BELLY and LESLIE also officially having left (though they roped her in to do most of the bass work on the album anyway). Their attempt at a straightforward ROCK album, left most everyone cold (including their label SIRE which then proceeded to drop them). At the time BELLY took the award for hook laden alt-pop buzz bin album, but in the long run, I still pull RED HEAVEN out and listen to it now and then, while STAR tends to just lurk in my CD case. irvin ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2002 13:48:25 -0800 From: Steve VanDevender Subject: prophecy Last week I found out that Suzanne Vega was playing in Eugene, except that I found out on Monday that she was playing on Tuesday, and the local ticket office on campus was swamped with people trying to buy basketball tickets or somesuch. So unfortunately I didn't have my act together well enough to get tickets to see her. However, while over there I saw a flyer for a Susan McKeown & The Chanting House show on Sunday. So on Wednesday I made sure to grab a ticket for that. If you don't live in the Northeast, then apparently Eugene seems to be the second-best place to live if you want to see Susan perform live; she's performed once or twice a year here for the past several years. On Thursday we had a sort of surprise windstorm that ended up blowing over quite a few trees and knocking out power to many large and small areas in Eugene. Fortunately my home was near, but not in, the large zone of darkness in my neighborhood. However, this did end up affecting another music event I wanted to see; on Friday night a new but surprisingly good local band called Tympanic was scheduled to play at a local bar, and I didn't find out that the bar was in one of the zones of darkness until I showed up on Friday night to find the buildings on that side of the street without power and the front door of the bar closed and locked. However, those of you in western Oregon and the Pacific Northwest should keep an eye out for Tympanic, as they're intending to start doing some local touring. They're not really standard Ecto fare, but they are excellent performers and clearly have a lot of fun with what they're doing, and have already built a dedicated local fan base. I originally found out about them because I know one of the band members who tipped me off to one of their first public performances on the U of O campus early last year -- they were good then and have been getting better ever since. They have the beginnings of a web site at tympanicband.com, which should give you a slightly better idea of what they're like (it even acknowledges that the Flash animation on the front page is lame; you can go to http://tympanicband.com/text/home.html if you want to avoid it entirely). I did notice they've scheduled makeup performances already which are listed in their web pages. Fortunately, there were no power problems to interfere with Susan's show on Sunday night. The show was excellent, and Susan is cementing her place in my personal Ecto pantheon. The full Chanting House lineup was there, including their drummer who couldn't make their last Eugene show (which was on September 15, 2001). Everyone was in fine form; in particular Jon Spurney played guitar with his usual animation and gave me a bit of a surprise by doing piano accompaniment on a couple of songs. They played many of the usual favorites you've heard before. The things I though notable were a nearly heavy-metal version of "The Lowlands of Holland"; Susan asking Lindsay Horner to play "Blue Moon" and telling everyone about his upcoming wedding on February 23, and that she wanted to sing "Blue Moon" for him at his wedding except that he'd be too busy to play accompaniment; and a encore with the song "Prophecy" from her new album of the same title. She told the story about how she wrote the song "Bones" at the end of recording that album, and named the album after it, and similarly she and Jon Spurney wrote "Prophecy" in a day at the end of recording the new album, and named the new album after it, and how both songs, which she described as "weird", are favorites of her father. Before playing "Because I could not stop for Death" she also announced a little contest where she asked people to write down the name of the poet who wrote that poem to enter a drawing for her new CD, partly to see what sort of humorous wrong answers they might get. They were selling a limited-edition autographed CD of _Prophecy_ at the show, which I of course had to grab (I got #91 of 200), obviating my need to enter the contest. This is a really great album and if you've been wanting to have a recording of recent Chanting House material, you're going to love this. The track listing: 1 Be Brave Love Be Strong 2 River 3 Chances Are 4 Wheels of the World 5 Seven Cold Glories 6 What Did I Ever Do To You? 7 Because I could not stop for Death 8 Ballinaboula 9 South 10 Prophecy To my ear, the opening guitar riff to "South" sounds like it could have come out of a Happy Rhodes song, and the album version of "Prophecy" also has a very Rhodes-like sound. I'm also glad to have a recording of "River", which is a really great song. Unless a lot of people come out with some really killer albums I am already willing to say _Prophecy_ will be on my best-of-2002 list. Susan of course came out to chat with fans after the show, and I was even pleasantly surprised when she walked up to me and correctly remembered my name when I was just standing there putting on my jacket. I chatted with her for a bit until I noticed some other fans were starting to gather, then excused myself so she could talk to them. After I left I realized that I had wanted to mention to her the bit I remembered from the Neil Gaiman-written episode of Babylon 5 ("Day of the Dead") where one of the characters observed that any Emily Dickinson poem can be sung to the tune of "The Yellow Rose of Texas". On further reflection I thoguht maybe it was better I hadn't, as it might ruin any future performances of "Because I could not stop for Death" by sticking in her head so she'd end up doing the song that way from then on :-). Maybe someone else will want to risk mentioning that to her. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2002 17:04:41 -0500 From: "Jeffrey C.

Actually, she's already aware of this (which is far older than a B5 episode, and probably better known than the show was watched ).

And the promo bit for her WOW Hall show says she's currently only selling _Prophecy_ at her own shows while it's being shopped to labels.

I hope for your sakes she'll be selling copies at her Peter & Wendy shows, since that's probably the best chance for those of you in that area to get them soon. The posters for the Eugene show even had a "CD Release" bullet on them, but I didn't know then that this was her last stop on her Northwest tour or that the CD was only going to be available at shows for quite a while, or I would have offered to pick them up for people. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2002 18:04:43 -0800 From: Greg Bossert Subject: Re: prophecy On Monday, February 11, 2002, at 02:17 PM, Janet E.
