The book is short on bread science and focused rather than comprehensive. It is certainly a great addition to my bread book library.įorkish is clearly writing for the home baker who wants to bake the highest quality bread of a particular type: Crusty, open-crumbed, mixed flour hearth loaves. ![]() Flour Water Salt Yeast won both the James Beard Award this year and also the very prestigious IACP award. I liked it immediately, and I ordered it as soon as I got home. On our last visit to Portland, I browsed Ken Forkish's baking book, Flour Water Salt Yeast, at Powell's bookstore. I've driven by it a few times on my way to somewhere else, but, if I've ever had Ken's bread, it has been in Portland restaurants.

Now 80 years old, she puts her observations of these small behaviours to good use: French Braid makes clear there is little Anne Tyler does not know about human nature. Like most novelists, Anne Tyler is rarely forthcoming about her writing methods, but she did admit recently to being interested in what small behaviours can reveal about character. ![]() As Tolstoy wrote – ‘Happy families are all alike every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.’ French Braid explores the ways in which the Garrett family might qualify as an unhappy family. ![]() Set in Baltimore, like many of her novels, French Braid is about families, specifically three generations of the Garrett family, and about how families do and don’t get on. However, with Anne Tyler most readers who know and love her novels will smile a little to themselves at the description and immediately go out and buy the book. If this was said about any other novelist it might be a criticism. The Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist demonstrates there is little she doesn’t know about human nature.Īnne Tyler’s most recent novel, her twenty-fourth, French Braid covers familiar territory. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() For that alone I need to give this to the book.ĬC: I have to agree with Jayson, I think that the original source material wins in this instance. However, the book deals with a lot of internal federal politics and insight that the movie only scratches the surface of and yet is an incredibly quick and enjoyable read for the subject matter at hand.

What you do get, however, is still good value: a new translation (with introduction, map and notes) by one of the foremost Aeschylean scholars, a collection of relevant Greek material, an anthology of modern criticism, glossary and bibliography.įor scholars the main interest here will lie in seeing how far Taplin’s views have changed since The Stagecraft of Aeschylus (Oxford, 1977), but in fact the book pays surprisingly little attention to matters of staging. ![]() ![]() Don’t be fooled by the title page: you can’t expect a Greek text for this price and you don’t get one. ![]() |
