Some Were Burnt
Some Were Burnt is a collection of prose writings and essay-type shorts by poet T. Dove Lourde. Based on and in America, Lourde attempts to reveal and dissect what he calls the 'dystopics of the American dreamscape' and converse about them openly. Written in a self-described abstract lyrical prose, the author believes the book reads like a novel, with each topic being its own chapter that builds on and bleeds into the next, connecting topics that range from politics and religion, to celebrity obsession, censorship, Big business, immortality, and many others. Although sometimes dark, and stark, and frank in its view and outlook (the book culminates in a clash) the author believes that, like America, his book is about the hope and light found in between the cynicism, skepticism and pessimism that pervades him and his generations mindset, but to ignore the dark and the folly is to invite ruin. Some Were Burnt is a look into modern day America.

Like Fuentes's masterpiece The Death of Artemio Cruz, the action in this novel begins in the state of Veracruz and moves to Mexico City. From 1905 to 1978, Fuentes traces the extraordinary Laura Díaz; a life filled with a multitude of witty, heartbreaking scenes and the sounds, colours, tastes and scents of Mexico. Laura grows into a pol...
The Three Cities: Lourdes, Rome and Paris
BEFORE perusing this work, it is as well that the reader should understand M. Zola's aim in writing it, and his views—as distinct from those of his characters—upon Lourdes, its Grotto, and its cures. A short time before the book appeared M. Zola was interviewed upon the subject by his friend and biographer, Mr. Robert H. Sherard, to whom he spoke as follows: "'Lourdes' came to be written by mere accident. In 1891 I happened to be travelling for my pleasure, with my wife, in the Basque country and by the Pyrenees, and being in the neighbourhood of Lourdes, included it in my tour. I spent fifteen days there, and was greatly struck by what I saw, and it then occurred to me that there was ma...
