The clinical yet compelling Avice Brenner Cho narrates this alien contact adventure. At times "Embassytown" attains mastery – and at times it does not. As ever with such enterprises, it takes tremendous skill to make those ideas an organic part of story and of character. "Embassytown" follows hard on the heels of two other Miéville novels: the much-lauded philosophical police procedural cum fantasy "The City & The City" and the fun but overlong romp "Kraken." The new novel most closely resembles "The City & The City" in attempting to combine the grotesque physicality of The Weird with other genres – this time alien contact SF – while also engaging the reader at the level of Idea. Le Guin and Doris Lessing, China Miéville's often revelatory new novel Embassytown is three books in one: a tense political thriller an amazing, sometimes brutal rhapsody on the uses of language and a curiously flat account of civil war.

I did not notice much new information about Washington’s life or character, but Chernow’s style of writing, the book’s nearly perfect pace and the conclusions he provides toward the end of the biography complement the enormous volume of previously-published works on Washington. However, my fears were soon eased as I realized I was probably reading the best biography of George Washington.Ĭompellingly written in a fluid, articulate and descriptive style, Chernow’s book perfectly demonstrates his masterful storytelling skills. Having plowed through 2,100 pages on Washington in the previous three weeks, the prospect of biting off another 800+ pages so soon with Chernow’s biography was a bit daunting. However, among all biographies of George Washington, Chernow’s appears to be the best loved and most highly-rated. Because this biography clocks in at three times the length of Ellis’s “His Excellency,” it is no surprise that Chernow’s work loses a few readers to that of Elllis (which I recently read and reviewed). This is the longest single-volume biography on Washington in my library and is the second best-read among major available titles. and Alexander Hamilton and is particularly well-known for his inaugural book “ The House of Morgan.” He has also written biographies on John D. “ Washington: A Life” is acclaimed author and historian Ron Chernow’s most recent book, for which he received a 2011 Pulitzer Prize. |
