The distinct, distinguished Catholic voice from the South . I haven't read anything by Flannery O'Connor since "All Things That Rise Must Converge." I fell in love with her stories. There is so much life in them. I read this work to get an idea about her "sitz im leben", her life-situation, her milieu. A lot of it is correspondence, and there are some presentations as well. I am wondering if it speaks to the modern would-be novelist as much as it spoke to writers of her time and place. She says that one needs to write out of the context of where you are: the place, the people, the geography. This is mandatory, not optional.     This book is for writers. I appreciate her writing about how to be Catholic in the South, a very small minority. She has contributed much to finding faith in the stories of life, even violent and brutal stories. I look forward to my next work of hers

Great women's history . Not only the legal status but the personal outlooks of women changed immeasurably  in the period this book covers; the subtitle speaks of space and power, but Deutsch  has also given us a fine overview of intellectual change: what women thought, and  why they thought in those ways, during an era of astonishing industrial and social  development. Through her research, we can see why the women of Henry James  were not the same as those of F. Scott Fitzgerald--and they were very different.    We are used to sympathizing with the plight of working class women, and giving  great credit to the founders of the settlement houses and political groups that helped  them, but until now I had never realized how class differences affected attitudes, and  how perfectly reasonable women of either set found great difficulty in  understanding how those of the other thought and felt. This book has helped me get  a better understanding of both groups.      In recent months I've been reading heavily in Boston history and in women's history  of this period. This book is far and away the best thing I've found. Having done  historical research using primary sources, I can tell you this author has done an  immense amount of work, and it has paid off. She uses not only the minutes of  meetings and legal reports, but personal letters and contemporary novels to tell the  story. She writes clearly, and the book is well organized. If you want a real feel for  the lives of women during a period of tremendous change, this book is the best place  I know to get it. Deutsch straightens out a lot of misconceptions, and helps to clarify  an extremely complex period.

This Book Is Now Obsolete . With new findings from a scientist of the Los Alamos laboratory, the main thesis of this book-that the Turin Shroud is a medieval forgery-has been dealt a death blow. The new information clearly shows that the portion of the Shroud used for the 1988 C-14 test was, in fact, an additional weave to the Shroud threads made much later than the cloth itself, and that the winding sheet is much older than C-14 indicated.  Even without this explosive new information, much of Nickell's thesis was outdated well before the year 2005. His "recreations" of the Shroud are amateurish and are not clear evidence of forgery. Most of his other information-"paint on the Shroud", no provenance before the Middle Ages-has also been debunked many times over. And his star witness, Walter McCrone, had his own reputation tarnished beyond repair when it was proven that his analysis of the Vineland Map was discredited and debunked(ironic, since both Nickell and McCrone tried to destroy and besmirch those who didn't agree with them).    In short, Nickell's book is now passe, and obsolete. It gets two stars for its entertainment value, but the main arguments and ideas of this book have been thoroughly refuted,once and for all.
