Proud and possessive, his sudden decision to retire and hand over the farm to his three daughters, is disarmingly uncharacteristic. Ginny and Rose, the two eldest, are startled yet eager to accept, but Caroline, the youngest daughter, has misgivings. Immediately, her father cuts her out. First lines At sixty miles per hour, you could pass our farm in a minute, on County Road 686, which ran due north into the T intersection at Cabot Street Road. Cabot Street Road was really just another country blacktop, except that five miles west it ran into and out of the town of Cabot. On the western edge of Cabot, it became Zebulon County Scenic Highway, and ran for three miles along the curve of Zebulon River, before the river turned south and the Scenic continued west into Pike. The T intersection of CR 686 perched on a little rise, a rise nearly as imperceptible as the bump in the center of an inexpensive plate.

Investor Relations State of the Union Hope Davis and Campbell Scott in "The Secret Lives of Dentists." Watching my marriage end on the big screen The first time I watched "The Secret Lives of Dentists," based on a novella I wrote about my divorce from the father of my daughters, I laughed all the way through it. The second time I didn't. Editor's note: This is part of our continuing series on marriage. By Jane Smiley Last night, no one laughed. Perhaps, like me, they took it a little more seriously. I thought I was going a second time just to watch my daughter's reaction, and it was true that she saw something of herself in the youngest child she opted out of taking her boyfriend to see the movie, remarking that he might realize that her occasionally imperious tone with him has a long history. Campbell Scott and Hope Davis play two dentists, David Hurst and Dana Hurst. The first time I saw the movie, I was all for Dave. The novella and the movie are told from his point of view. He suspects that Dana is seeing another man and that the other man isn't treating her very well. While he is sympathetic, sometimes poignantly so, to the pain she is going through, he doesn't want her to tell him anything and begin what he considers to be the irrevocable process of recrimination, separation, divorce and custody. Frankly, I don't blame him. It is agonizing and tedious. I know I've done it twice.

71. Smiley, Jane smiley, jane (1949 ). American novelist and short-story writer, whose works, while ranging widely in type from historical sagas http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Biographies/MainBiographies/S/smileyjane/1.h

Smiley, Jane American novelist and short-story writer, whose works, while ranging widely in type from historical sagas to mysteries, focus on the complications of family life. In 1992 she won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction for her novel A Thousand Acres (1991). Smiley was born in Los Angeles, and grew up in St. Louis, Missouri. She was educated at Vassar College, receiving her B.A. degree in 1971, and at the University of Iowa, from which she received her M.A. degree in 1975, her M.F.A. degree in 1976, and her Ph.D. degree in 1978. In 1981 Smiley began teaching at Iowa State University. She became a full professor in 1981. Smiley's first novel, Barn Blind (1980), tells the story of a severe mother who alienates her husband and children after one of her sons dies in a horseback-riding accident. A later novel, The Greenlanders (1988), about a curse that afflicts several generations of a 14th-century Scandinavian family, reflects Smiley's training as a scholar of medieval literature. Two collections of her shorter fiction also have been published: The Age of Grief (1987) and Ordinary Love and Good Will (1989). Smiley's novel A Thousand Acres, is the story of an Iowa farm family torn apart by disputes over inheritance and long-buried memories of incest. The book mixes tragic melodrama with social commentary about the disintegration of American farm life. It is considered by many to be a loose retelling of the play King Lear (1605?) by English playwright

BUY ART PRINTS Buy "Cow" by M. Romagnoli at AllPosters.com Home ... Contemporary Fiction This Book Next Book All Authors All Books Jane Smiley Bibliography Book Marks Author Info "Good Faith" Some people over the age of 30 remember the '80s for its excesses, including, but not limited to, really big hair and really synthesized music. It's a bit disconcerting to someone who graduated from high school in 1984 to hear my former favorites (yes, I'll admit it) Duran Duran and the Talking Heads played on our local "oldies" station. To others, the excesses of the '80s played out not in cans of Sebastian Shaper Hair Spray but in dollars and cents. Jane Smiley's latest novel, Good Faith tells the tale of those whose tastes ran more to Wall Street than Wall of Voodoo Jane Smiley is one of those authors like Margaret Atwood and Ann Patchett who is not content to sit back and write the same novel over and over again. This, her 12th, tells the story of a New England man overtaken by greed. Her most famous work is perhaps A Thousand Acres , the Pulitzer Prize winning retelling of King Lear. Others have been set in antebellum Kansas (
