Experimental narrative--Did that happen, what happened?Real vs Unreal

I Agree With The Other Reviews But I Have A Little To Add
Not Jackson's best, perhaps
a well-written critique on suburban alienation..
A chilling masterpiece
Jackson's unforgettable first novel Some of Jackson's plot points really make little sense to me.While it often seems that Jackson intends to introduce such confusing elements into her fiction, I find it very likely that I am just not understanding the immense subtleties and hidden clues of a masterful writer.This novel is especially hard to comprehend.The cast of characters is quite large, consisting of a number of families.Jackson constantly moves back and forth between the men, women, and children, which makes it hard to really "know" each character.The task of keeping track of who is who is made even more difficult by the fact that many of the girls' names all start with H and that two of the boys have the same initials.There came a point when I just had to stop flipping back through the story trying to exactly remember each character in turn.Perhaps it was a deliberate tactic by Jackson to indicate that all of the characters are basically the same.One family surprisingly moves away right in the middle of the book, much to my surprise, and the family that moves into their rental home seems far less important that the book's back cover led me to expect.The reader should take nothing for granted when reading Shirley Jackson. All in all, this is a wonderful if idiosyncratic read.The plot is amazingly complex for an author's first published novel.I wish I could talk about the ending, if for no other reason than to pose the questions I have about it.Once you permit yourself to enter Shirley Jackson mode, you may well be lured into a level of comfort, expecting the novel to simply end without any climax or conclusion.I can pretty much assure you that the conclusion is one you will not soon forget. ...

Editorial Review Product Description Shirley’s passion for science blossomed during her childhood, with bumblebee experiments and go-cart races. But it’s her talent for math and her drive to succeed that have taken her career in amazing directions. Shirley uses her knowledge of electrons, neutrinos, and other particles of matter to better the lives of others—from solving important technology problems to teaching college physics to making nuclear power plants safer. A natural-born leader, Shirley has always seized opportunities and broken down racial barriers, not only for herself but for others. Strong Force is the compelling story of an African American scientist and her science. To tell this true story of adventure, author Diane O’Connell drew on firsthand accounts from Shirley and her friends, family, and colleagues. How did a young bee collector grow up to be a world-renowned physicist? The life story of Shirley Ann Jackson will intrigue and inspire readers of all ages. |
