T. Coraghessan Boyle: Budding Prospects "I've always been a quitter. I quit the Boy Scouts, the glee club, the marching band. Gave up my paper route, turned my back on the church, the basketball team. I dropped out of college, sidestepped the army with a 4-F on the grounds of mental instability, went back to school, made a go of it, entered a Ph.D. program in nineteenth-century British literature, sat in the front row, took notes assiduously, bought a pair of horn-rims, and quit on the eve of my comprehensive exams. I got married, separated, divorced. Quit smoking, quit jogging, quit eating red meat. I quit jobs: digging graves, pumping gas, selling insurance, showing pornographic films in an art theater in Boston." Eines Abends erhaelt Felix, der solcherart charakterisierte Erzaehler des Buchs, Besuch von seinem geschaeftstuechtigen Bekannten Vogelsang, der ihm ein Angebot macht, das er nicht ablehnen kann: Vogelsang hat ein Stueck Land in der kalifornischen Wildnis gekauft und will dass Felix darauf - gegen Gewinnbeteilingung in sechsstelliger Hoehe - eine Marijuana-Plantage errichtet. Zu seinem Unglueck geht Felix darauf ein. Er rekrutiert zwei Helfer, seinen Freund Phil und den unberechenbaren Gersh, und gemeinsam nehmen die drei den Kampf gegen die Natur in der Form von Ratten, Baeren, Moskitos, Stuermen, Feuer, benachbarten Bauern, Polizisten, und Rednecks auf. Wie zu erwarten war, gewinnt die Natur auf der ganzen Linie, obwohl der Schluss die Moeglichkeit offenlaesst, dass Felix am Ende sich doch etwas bereichert hat.

B oo k inist s Buchtipp zu Ein Freund der Erde von T C Boyle Der gespaltene Fels T. Coraghessan Boyle - Riven Rock Die Geschichte des Buches ist bedenklich dürr und im Prolog des Romans "Welt ohne Frauen" auf den ersten beiden Seiten bereits fast vollständig erzählt: Der Millionenerbe Stanley McCormick, erfolgreicher Harvard Student, groß, blond, sportlich, zuvorkommend, wohlerzogener Gentleman und fortschrittlicher Automobilist, heiratet, neunundzwanzigjährig, 1904, die Millionenerbin Kathrine Dexter, die mit einer ebensolchen Aufzählung charakterisiert werden kann. Doch ab diesem Zeitpunkt entwickeln sich die Dinge nicht mehr so, wie in den Klatschspalten der Regenbogenpresse. " an einer Krankheit litt, einer Krankheit, die man nicht sah, nicht sofort und nicht an der Oberfläche. Ihre Krankheit schien sich zu vertiefen, während sie in sie hineinwuchs, schien sich zu dehnen und weiten, um sie aufzunehmen wie die Haut einer Anakonda." Der Roman setzt ein mit der Zugreise Stanleys in Begleitung seines Arztes und seiner persönlichen Pfleger von einer Bostoner Irrenanstalt in sein 35ha großes Ein-Personen-Privatsanatorium "Riven Rock" in Kalifornien.

writing programming web design contact ... back to list of book reviews Without a Hero by T. Coraghessan Boyle Penguin USA Am I the only one who feels that T. Coraghessan Boyle deserves caning? Boyle has made my short list of authors who deserve some punishment since I flipped through his story collection Greasy Lake (1985), which characteristically teeters between hilariously brilliant and pungently annoying. With his opium-addict book jacket photos and his cooler-than-thou narrative attitude, Boyle is the embodiment of the undisciplined genius. He's the child prodigy you remember from junior high school that spent hours scribbling bawdy poems about the history teacher instead of channeling his energies into something more productive. Boyle's last two novels, East Is East and the truly inspired The Road to Wellville , with their sardonic treatments of crossed cultures and self-assured con men, promised some greater aim for Boyle's talents. The author clearly has a skewed view of America, a piercing view targeted at the self-appointed guardians of humanity who all too often turn out to be hucksters for a line of the emperor's new clothes. Not to mention that Boyle possesses a truly impressive vocabulary and a genuinely original prose style. The story collection Without a Hero , however, once again demonstrates Boyle's uncanny ability to squander his God-given resources. Like most of his earlier story collections, it's a grab bag of both keen insights into the American ethos and botched attempts at politically incorrect satire.

writing programming web design contact ... back to list of book reviews The Road to Wellville by T. Coraghessan Boyle Penguin USA Any doctor that prescribed five enemas a day, sexual abstinence, and high doses of radium exposure for an ulcer would be kicked out of town before sunset. Unless, of course, that doctor was Dr. John Harvey Kellogg and that town was Battle Creek, Michigan in the year 1907. There Kellogg, the self-proclaimed health messiah and inventor of corn flakes and peanut butter, reigned supreme. For over twenty years, Kellogg's sanitarium devoted to "scientific living" attracted the best and brightest of Americans out to find the magic cure for disease and death. Celebrities like Thomas Edison, Upton Sinclair, and Henry Ford all tried their hand at Kellogg's prescription, which included all of the above as well as strict vegetarianism, electric shocks, laugh therapy, and more. This preposterous medical regime and the man that inspired it serve as the subject for T. Coraghessan Boyle's latest novel, The Road to Wellville . Under Boyle's razor-sharp pen, Kellogg is reduced to a shallow, self-serving hypocrite who is more out to promote his dubious brand of morality than heal the sick.
