New Article
Posted by Joseph on September 1, 2005, 5:04 am A new blurb about EW has appeared; a pal of mine forwarded the link to me. The article is really pretty empty. That is to say, nothing said in the article is news to anyone who admires Whittemore's work. But here is the link nonetheless... http://search.csmonitor.com/search_content/0824/p15s01-bogn.html While I'm here, I'll throw out my contention that the O'Sullivan Beare chapter of Jerusalem Poker is perhaps the finest piece of Whittemore craft. Though, part 1 of Sinai Tapestry remains my favorite Whittemore: order versus chaos and chaos prevails. So goes the quartet. Thanks,

Posted by Anne on September 1, 2005, 9:02 am, in reply to "New Article" I am aware of the article and agree with your views on it. However, slight as it is, it did produce a surge in visitors to the Jerusalem Dreaming site which is a good thing. Every bit of publicity helps expand Whittemore readership. As it is some years since I last read the Quartet, I can't exactly recall the O'Sullivan Beare chapter in Jerusalem Poker, so will withold comment at this time. Sinai Tapestry was my first introduction to the writings of Whittemore and I fell for it utterly so perhaps it is my favorite of the Quartet, though I love all the separate books for different reasons.

By the way, I think I recall the chapter. Is it the one with Joe flying and Theresa's stigmata? Yes, that was a palpable chapter indeed! It had a certain loaded-stillness to it (if that doesn't sound vague enough) like a single intense momment of silence I sometimes feel on hot summer nights. --Previous Message--
