   Extractions: Review by Karl Erickson In The Gift, Lewis Hyde writes of the difference between an act being done as a gift, with all of its connotations of connection, responsibility and community, and as a service, which is done in exchange, usually for money. A gift, most commonly seen in native cultures and small social organizations (such as families) stresses the binding continuance. The service on the other hand can be seen perhaps most easily in today’s’ world of doctors, social workers and psychiatrists, who help others out, but have a buffer between provider and receiver. With a gift one is, in a sense, obligated to return the favor, creating a continuous cycle-an ongoing relationship that is not easily broken. A service is usually a one shot deal, with no ongoing connection. The cash transfer takes care of all obligations. With a service there is neither need nor desire for continued intimacy. William T. Vollman’s

   http://turtleneck.net/fall01/tweedjacket/vollman_review_2.php
   
   Extractions: What I wish to examine is this underground world’s relationship to the mainstream, and how specifically Vollman presents the prostitute's role. In The Royal Family the queen, known to her subjects as “Maj,” is the benevolent ruler of a gang of prostitutes, protecting them, offering them crash pads, drugs and her addictive, heroin-like spittle, like a very nice pimp. Some of her subjects adore her, some resent her. They all maintain a respect for her. The rest of the world knows of her as myth, if at all. Applying Lewis Hyde’s framework of the gift to The Royal Family is a somewhat inelegant but enlightening treatment. Vollman maintains that the prostitute offers a gift to society, offering intimacy where there is none. According to Hyde though, what the prostitute does is provide a service rather than a gift, the cash exchange acting as a barrier. Crashing into this schema is the role of the Queen, who never explicitly sells herself in the book, though there are several scenes of her having sex with Henry and several of the other prostitutes. She provides a structure for the whores, a protective umbrella. In return they are expected to contribute to the society she rules, but not in a cash-for-services manner. It is, to echo the title, much more of a family affair, a communal group. This is distinctly at odds with the more capitalistic natures of several of the prostitutes, who are constantly cheating and scheming against one another and the queen.

    Extractions: Winter 2001/2002 Argall William T. Vollmann Viking ($40) by Jason Picone ee William Vollmann. His tousled hair complements his still boyish face, which retains a youthful look despite the author's mustache and 40 something years. Decked out in a well-worn windbreaker that he keeps on for the entire event, Vollmann reads from his latest novel, Argall , the third volume (though fourth to be published) in his acclaimed Seven Dreams For a man who has shot off blanks during his readings in order to ensure the audience's attention, Vollmann appears to be an unassuming individual. His apparent modesty may have led him to take the moniker William the Blind, who is ostensibly the narrator of Argall . At first glance, the legendary story at the heart of the Third Dreamthe relationship of John Smith and Pocahontasmay appear to be an odd subject for a seven-hundred-page novel, but the instability of the Virginia colony and the role of these two historical figures in its survival is far from straightforward. The intriguing mix of political maneuvering, uneasy peace, and savage conflict between the English and the Native Americans under King Powhatan, Pocahontas's father, lends itself to a fascinating and complex fiction. Under the guise of William the Blind, Vollmann gives an imaginative account of Smith and Pocahontas that never pretends to be historically authoritative. At the beginning of

Lakeside Terrace, 235 Queens Quay W. In the author's note that opens The Life of Pi (Knopf, $32.95), Yann Martel explains how his second novel was born. He went to India to write a novel set in Portugal in 1939. Martel's research was sound, but the book missed "that spark that brings to life a real story, regardless of whether the history or the food is right." Then he met an elderly man who told him, "I have a story that will make you believe in God." Martel soon found himself immersed in the life story of Piscine Molitor Patel (Pi for short), the son of a zookeeper in the town of Pondicherry. During the voyage that was to carry Pi's family and many of their animals to Canada, the ship sank, and Pi became the sole human survivor. Yet he wasn't alone in the lifeboat for company, he had a zebra, an orangutan, a hyena and a Bengal tiger. Pi obviously required a lot of help from God to make it through, so it was fortunate that the boy was already a Christian, a Muslim and a Hindu.
