    Extractions: Dave Weich , Powells.com The answer depends entirely on which horse you're talking about. In Horse Heaven , we meet horses bound for glory and others who suffer an endless succession of days locked in filthy stalls, neglected by their owners. Smiley takes us to the backside of Belmont and Hollywood Park, to breeding farms, veterinary hospitals, and auction houses where owners bid small (and not so small) fortunes on the prospects of young, untested, but immaculately bred fillies and colts. We wake up with trainers at five a.m. to be at the barn by six and take our morning walk past the stalls. We sleep in late in Paris and laze around in bed, contemplating acquisition. We run hard among brilliant twelve hundred pound beasts. In 1992

    Extractions: BIO Jane Smiley turned fifty just in time for the new millennium. She lives in California with her three children, three dogs, and her sixteen (and counting) horses. Born in Los Angeles, California, Jane moved to the suburbs of St. Louis, Missouri, as an infant, and lived there through grammar school and high school (The John Burroughs School). After getting her BA at Vassar College in 1971, she traveled in Europe for a year, working on an archeological dig and sight-seeing, then returned to Iowa for graduate school at the University of Iowa. Senior Writer Jana Siciliano had the chance to chat with author Jane Smiley about her new novel, HORSE HEAVEN. More than just about horses, Smiley weaves her always intriguing characters into the surprisingly deep well that makes up the horse racing community. Find out what led Smiley to write about this tight knit and sometimes outrageous world, her thoughts on the film version of her book A THOUSAND ACRES, her take on sex in movies, and much more.

    Extractions: A Thousand Acres Genre Novel (371 pp.) Keywords Cancer Child Abuse Children Family Relationships ... Trauma Summary Smiley's novel, King Lear (see King Lear in this database) with a shocking twist, portrays the enduring violence of incest to body and spirit. The narrative voice describes her familya wealthy farmer and his three daughters. Family relationships are explored, especially the hidden roots that shape and define behaviors and conflicts, some lasting a lifetime. The disclosure of a horribly dark secret explains the personalities of the three daughters and, for two, their metaphoric afflictions (infertility and breast cancer). Smiley's novel is layered with rich complexities, but none more powerful and astonishing than the core event, the sexual victimization of two vulnerable teenage girls who, as the story unfolds, are permanently scarred. Through a reinterpretation of Lear, Smiley demonstrates the cost of this hideous form of male domination and female victimization. Commentary This novel won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award.

    Extractions: Buy now from Amazon.com. After shoehorning a vast critique of Western patriarchal society into a single Iowa farm with her A Thousand Acres , you'd think Jane Smiley might take a bit of a breather. An intimate, toned-down, between-blockbusters, single-nighter of a book would have fit just perfectly in the Pulitzer Prize winner's canon right about now. Well, perhaps Moo is Jane Smiley's version of getting down to the basics. Instead of tackling the inherent problems in our entire cultural ethos, she's only chosen a modest slice of it to dissect, namely the 1980s. Oh, and let's not forget the American system of education. And bureaucracy. And racism, politics, love... But damn if she doesn't go for the whole hog (literally as it turns out) with this brilliant, good-natured, sprawling satire set in a fictional Iowa state university known as Moo U. Smiley might let you down in the end by refusing to give certain members of her pigheaded cast of characters their just desserts, but it's a hell of a ride along the way. The central characters in Moo are the faculty and staff of the university itself, many of whom spend their time preoccupied with things far removed from their proper province of education. Like money, for instance: money for English professor Tim Monahan's imminent raise and promotion; money that provost Ivar Harstad will have to raise to make up for the governor's $7 million cuts to university funding; money to feed Earl Butz, the hog that is Dr. Bo Jones' clandestine experiment to test the limits of gluttony (yes, there is a metaphor operating here).
