Extractions: In 1998 I was commissioned to revise and update the Mark Helprin entry in the Dictionary of Literary Biography. Although I was aware of Mr Helprin's fiction, I did not have a complete knowledge of all of his political and social commentary. The first drafts of this bibliography emerged from this research. When I first released this bibliography to the Web I bravely stated that "this document aspires to be a comprehensive bibliography of Mark Helprin's novels, short stories, newspaper and journal commentaries, as well as indicating where some of the short stories first saw the light of day." I now think that this claim to comprehensiveness was misplaced for two reasons. First, many of the commentary articles were reprinted, often around the world, which can be confusing. Second, many of the short story pieces have also been reprinted. Mr. Helprin's first published short story was "Because of the Waters of the Flood" in the September 27, 1969 issue of the The New Yorker Magazine . It is collected in A Dove of the East and Other Stories (Knopf, 1975). Similarly, many of his short stories that first saw the light of day in magazines have been collected in either

OpinionJournal - Written On Water
Why is George W. Bush a president more of word than of deed? BY mark helprin. Monday, September 16, 2002 1201 a.m.
http://opinionjournal.com/columnists/mhelprin

Extractions: Monday, September 16, 2002 12:01 a.m. EDT Last Wednesday, the president was everywhere. But on the anniversary of Pearl Harbor, FDR worked quietly in the White House as America battled Japan on Guadalcanal, U-boats on the Atlantic, and Rommel in Tunisia. In the previous 365 days we had quadrupled defense spending and military production, doubled military manpower, turned the Battle of the Atlantic, invaded North Africa in history's then largest amphibious assault, begun the Burma Road, engaged Hirohito's air force, bombed Tokyo, checked the expansion of the Japanese Empire, and triumphed at Midway and in the Coral Sea. The president has failed the test of Sept. 11. Other than benefiting from the normal intervals between terrorist strikes, and disrupting terrorist networks built to weather disruption, he has done little to change the dynamic that brought us that day. His gratuitous deference to hostile enemy and inconstant ally, his indecision, irresolution, and delay have exposed the nation he dearly loves to unprecedented danger. How can this be?

Extractions: Mark Helprin If I had to be reincarnated as a right-wing Jewish magic-realist with a chip on my shoulder, Mark Helprin would be my first choice. Reviewing Helprin's novel Winter's Tale in the New York Times Book Review, critic Benjamin DeMott wrote: "I find myself nervous, to a degree I don't recall in my past as a reviewer, about failing the work, inadequately displaying its brilliance." Though I consider Winter's Tale to be a brilliant failure (see below), I understand where DeMott was coming from. Even at his worst, Helprin is head and shoulders above most of his contemporaries; he's that good. He is also novel Refiner's Fire contains a hilarious but largely gratuitious scene in which a pair of militant Berkeley lesbians are lectured on the virtues of family and then dismissed as "self-centered gherkins, riding an endless corkscrew"), Helprin is no doubt regarded as an ideological heretic by a great many lefties. But ideology aside, the fact is he has a hard-on for insulting people. Like the rest of his writing, his insults are generally a pleasure to read—but no matter how good a writer you are, if you insist on calling your literary peers "wimpy," "weak minded," and "debilitated," you have to expect a certain amount of return hostility; and if, even in jest, you refer to the staff of The New York Review of Books
Review Of Mark Helprin's "Ellis Island And Other Stories"
Review of mark helprin's "Ellis Island and other stories" Brilliant, lovely stories; go out and get this book at once. "Winter's Tale" was my first mark helprin book.

Extractions: Review of Mark Helprin's "Ellis Island and other stories" Brilliant, lovely stories; go out and get this book at once. Still here? OK. "Winter's Tale" was my first Mark Helprin book. I thought it was the perfect novel, glorious and mysterious, realistic and magical, funny and strange and wondrous and sad. If anything, it was too much of a good thing; like spending all day at the carnival. The stories in "Ellis Island and other stories" are the same entrancing medicine, but in smaller doses. Don't let the big "Ellis Island" on the cover, and the grainy black-and-white picture of a ship approaching the Statue of Liberty, scare you off; this is not mundane history, or even historical fiction. The stories are not all about immigrants, or Europe, or the War, although those threads do run through some of them. The title story is the longest, placed last in the book, and it is about the Ellis Island, and the I can do nothing like justice to the rest of the stories in the amount of time I can plausibly extract from you. Some vague ideas: in "The Schreuderspitze", a photographer deals with tragedy in the luminous Alps; in "Letters from the Samantha ", strange events on an iron-hulled sailing ship in 1879 involve questions of humanity and guilt; in "Martin Bayer" a small boy is a small boy, on the eve of war; in "North Light" and "A Room of Frail Dancers" we see what entering, and leaving, battle does to soldiers. "La Volpaia" is wonderfully witty, and "Tamar" is simply lovely. These glib little descriptions have already done enough damage; I will restrain myself from sullying "White Gardens" and "Palais de Justice": you simply have to read them.

Extractions: A review by Jennifer Goheen In olden times a Queen and an usurper fight for control of a kingdom. The story is narrated by a singer of old songs. At first the usurper is in control and he summons the narrator to ask him to change his songs. The narrator refuses and is thrown in a dungeon. Luckily, the Queen's army soon conquers the usurper and the narrator is released from jail and joins the Queen's guards. The Queen has to deal with the greedy, stupid and selfish Tookisheims, who don't like the way she rules and who say bad things about her in their newspapers. They find a small girl who has seen the usurper destroy her village. Pretty soon the tricky usurper returns with a large army and the narrator has to make a plan to save the city. When the Queen has to choose between a man's life or her kingdom's fate, which does she choose? There are many bloody battles before the surprising ending. This book had a good plot, interesting characters and a great ending. Most of the main characters are never given names, which makes them more mysterious. The Queen and the narrator are brave, wise and proud, while the Tookisheims and the usurper are evil and greedy. There is a lot of description, but not a lot of dialogue. The story is sad at times but hopeful at the end. The pictures are colorful and realistic and they do a good job of describing the story.
