I loved Tales from Jabba’s Palace. It’s so great to see I’m not the only one. It was great to see how you came up with your idea for this story.

Just a suggestion. I think you are putting too many tags in your post. I read somewhere on wordpress help column that more than 12 tag+category means your posts are not listed under any tag. That’s probably the reason I never see your posts in my tag surfer.

I read this quite long back and had loved it. I tried sonme other Julian Barnes, specially his Flaubert’s Parrot, but could not read through to finish. However, I have recommended this one to many. It is brilliant writing, great story telling.

You have a brilliant taste in books. Some of the recent reviews actually introduce me to authors I had no idea about. Great work!

Hi Book Diva!

I also enjoyed a lot with this book! In fact, I love Jostein Gaarder’s books! The last one I read was “The Young of the Oranges”. Nevertheless, if you want to read a good one, try “The Solitaire Mistery”…

Bye!

Comment on Fire in the Blood, by Irene Nemirovsky by exeint

I recently read your post about Irène Némirovsky and wanted to let you know about an exciting new exhibition about her life, work, and legacy that will open on September 24, 2008 at the Museum of Jewish Heritage —A Living Memorial to the Holocaust in New York City. Woman of Letters: Irène Némirovsky and Suite Française, which will run through the middle of March, will include powerful rare artifacts — the actual handwritten manuscript for Suite Française, the valise in which it was found, and many personal papers and family photos. The majority of these documents and artifacts have never been outside of France. For fans of her work, this exhibition is an opportunity to really “get to know” Irene. And for those who can’t visit, there will be a special website that will live on the Museum’s site http://www.mjhnyc.org.
The Museum will host several public programs over the course of the exhibition’s run that will put Némirovsky’s work and life into historical and literary context. Book clubs and groups are invited to the Museum for tours and discussions in the exhibition’s adjacent Salon (by appointment). It is the Museum’s hope that the exhibit will engage visitors and promote dialogue about this extraordinary writer and the complex time in which she lived and died. Please visit our website at http://www.mjhnyc.org for up-to-date information about upcoming public programs or to join our e-bulletin list.

Thanks for sharing this info with your readers. Let me know if you need any more.
