Correction Appended THE LAST OF HER KIND By Sigrid Nunez. 375 pp. Farrar, Straus & Giroux. $25. FIRST a disclaimer: like the narrator of Sigrid Nunez's new novel, I was a scholarship student at an elite East Coast college during the Vietnam era, with a millionairess as my freshman roommate -- a young woman who became, for a while, my best friend and the most powerful influence on my life. Also like Nunez's narrator, I had ties of friendship to a spectacular courtroom drama. It was my high school classmate Jonathan Jackson who, in 1970, staged an attack in the Marin County courthouse, where his brother was on trial, that ended with two prisoners, a judge and Jonathan himself dead, and Angela Davis charged as an accomplice. The Jackson trial is referred to in Nunez's novel as a touchstone event, along with the Patricia Hearst case, which bears a greater resemblance to the pivotal incident at the heart of "The Last of Her Kind." So I'd have been drawn to this book even if … [Read more...] about Something Happening Here

FARM GIRL A Wisconsin Memoir My grandfather died many years ago, but I still remember his stories of growing up in the Texas Hill Country in the early 20th century, walking two miles each way to a one-room schoolhouse and doing chores that were, to me, unfathomable: making laundry soap out of lard and lye, plucking chickens, hauling water from the well. I thought of him often as I read “Farm Girl,” Carlson’s spare, charming memoir of her Depression-era childhood. Carlson grew up on her parents’ farm outside Plum City in western Wisconsin, where she was born in 1926. (Family lore has it that the doctor who delivered her exclaimed: “Well, this is a nice, big one! Nine or 10 pounds.”) She and her three siblings roamed through “80 acres of beautiful, rich, fertile Wisconsin cropland, pasture and woodlot” while their parents shielded them from the worst economic woes of the period. Her memories, mostly rosy, are punctuated by descriptions of the era’s terrible droughts. … [Read more...] about Three New Memoirs Bring the Farm to the Page

Chapter One It is afternoon. We are playing soccer near the clothesline behind the main house. Jimmy, my brother, is eleven, and my sister, Ciru, is five and a half. I am the goalie. I am seven years old, and I still do not know why everybody seems to know what they are doing and why they are doing it. "You are not fat." That's what Mum says to me all the time. "You are plump." Ciru has the ball. She is small and thin and golden. She has sharp elbows, and a smile as clean as a pencil drawing. It cuts evenly into her cheeks. She runs toward Jimmy, who is tall and fit and dark. She is the star of her class. It is 1978, and we are all in Lena Moi Primary School. Last term, Ciru was moved a year forward. Now she is in standard two, like me, in the class next door. Her first term in standard two, she beat everybody and topped the class. She is the youngest in her class. Everybody else is seven. I stand still between the metal poles we use as a makeshift goalmouth watching … [Read more...] about ‘One Day I Will Write About This Place’
