Tree of Smoke, by Denis Johnson | A Literary Cavalcade
https://aliterarycavalcade.net/2017/01/09/tree-of-smole-by-denis-johnson
Literary comments by Robert A. Parker on a wide range of serious 20th and 21st century novels. Tree of Smoke, by Denis Johnson. By Robert A. Parker. That upbeat seems to come from nowhere. Yes, this novel jumps around too much for me. From Bill to Skip, from Bill to James, from Skip to the colonel’s lieutenants, and then to Kathy. Also, from year to year, and then to a decade later. All is disconnected. How does Skip get blamed for the colonel’s failed plans? Why does he then turn criminal?
The Painted Drum, by Louise Erdrich | A Literary Cavalcade
https://aliterarycavalcade.net/2016/11/17/the-painted-drum-by-louise-erdrich
Literary comments by Robert A. Parker on a wide range of serious 20th and 21st century novels. The Painted Drum, by Louise Erdrich. By Robert A. Parker. There are three stories in one in this 2005 novel, of which the first story is the most intriguing. All are interesting, however, and all are built around an old, magic Indian drum. The first story is the most interesting because it focuses on a human story, not the story of that magic drum. They also seem to be a symbol of death, the idea of which has h...

Literary comments by Robert A. Parker on a wide range of serious 20th and 21st century novels. December 27, 2016. A God in Ruins, by Kate Atkinson. This is not a novel about resurrections, as was its predecessor, Life After Life. But it is about that novel’s characters, the Todd family. It is also about World War II England, post-war England, and about one branch of the Todd family over three generations. And, oh yes, this sequel is a marvelous novel. And then this is taken away from me? Of the novel....
The Double, by Jose Saramago | A Literary Cavalcade
https://aliterarycavalcade.net/2016/12/06/the-double-by-jose-saramago
Literary comments by Robert A. Parker on a wide range of serious 20th and 21st century novels. The Double, by Jose Saramago. By Robert A. Parker. But what about the story being told in this style in this 2002 work? One senses that for each of his novels, Saramago tries to identify a human situation, and then stretch it to a logical but extreme depth that reveals something of human nature or human society. He looks at a normal situation, and then asks, what if? Perhaps his final decision, the sudden trick...
