A well-written, engaging and thoughtful novel.......2000-07-21
First published in 1937 "None Shall Look Back" represents an attempt by author Caroline Gordon to follow the fortunes of one family throughout the Civil War years. In this she has achieved her goal admirably. The story focuses on the Allard family of Kentucky and Georgia as they struggle with the consequences of war both for those who take up arms and for those left behind.
The central character of the novel is Rives Allard, a scout under General Nathan Bedford Forrest. Gordon follows Rives with skill and eloquence, she writes well of both the physical battles and the internal conflicts that Rives experiences.
Gordon writes with a passion regarding her subject matter, at times however I felt that she has the tendency to over romanticise the idyllic nature of the pre-war south. However this is a small quibble and one that does not detract from the overall power of the book. General Forrest appears throughout None Shall Look Back and as a personal preference I would have liked him to play a larger part the novels structure but again this is not a criticism of the book just a personal observation.
Ultimately None Shall Look Back is an account of what the author saw as the stand of the heroic south, both Rives and Forrest are presented as heroes of the Southern cause and the struggles against deprivation and poverty are presented in an heroic yet believable manner.
Before reading the novel I had some reservations regarding both its age and subject matter. Other accounts of Civil War written during the same period as None Shall Look back have at times been cliched and repetitive. Gordon relies on neither of those qualities with the end result being a well-written, engaging and thoughtful novel.
None Shall Look Back.......2000-05-17
Margaret Mitchell was very lucky Gone With The Wind beat this great work by Caroline Gordon into print.None Shall Look Back was a better, richer story in all respects and, in my opinion, would have made a much better movie and still would. BTW - I'm a big Gone With The Wind fan. MWY
Body & Soul.......1999-08-15
None Shall Look Back is the type of book which has "sticking power". This power will remain as a companion long after the volume has been finished. The path of the hero, so carefully and unpretentiously illuminated here, is always that of self denial, of an abandonment toward a worthy principle or cause. Sometimes it is also a path of suffering and sorrow. Body and Soul. The heroes of this book are human. That is to say they have limitations of flesh and blood, of body and soul, of time and place. And yet for all that, passion placed at the service of honor and forged in unselfishness rises transcendent, and lasting, a truly heroic and enduring fragrance which remains after all lesser things have passed away. Is this a scent your senses respond to? If so, you will be proud to have known the humans, the heroes, of None Shall Look Back.
As a postscript I would suggest saving the Preface and reading it as an Afterword. It is a very fine contemplative piece which serves far better as an after dinner enzyme than a pre-meal appetizer.

Customer Reviews:
Nice content, poor binding.......2007-09-17
The content itself is in great condition and very nice to look at, but the book itself is more of a children's book than a comic collection. It would've been great if they had decided to put it in a quality hardcover format.
Graphic SF Reader.......2007-09-03
1934, but almost doesn't seem like it. More dragons and monsters than you can shoot a light gun at. Introspective, this is not. Who else would you want for a hero, but a Yale polo champion? Polo skills are the perfect training for an interplanetary action hero, you would think. Not a horse to be seen, but this is great fun.
Classic adventure.......2007-05-27
The plots are ridiculous and the characters are thin, but that is all inconsequential. Flash Gordon is FUN.
It's hard to read Alex Raymond's comic strips without the Queen soundtrack running through my head from the early 1980s movie. And all the principals from that movie are from the comic strip: Dale Arden, the constant damsel-in-distress; Princess Aura, the manipulative yet beautiful woman out to seduce Flash; Prince Barin, the dashing rebel; King Vultan, the violent yet honorable Lord of the Hawkmen; and Hans Zarkov, the brilliant yet slightly mad scientist. And in the center of it is Flash Gordon, Yale graduate and world-renowned polo player and his arch-nemesis, the dreaded Ming the Merciless, Emperor of the planet Mongo.
Volume One kicks off the action pretty quickly: a mysterious planet (Mongo) is about to crash into Earth. Dr. Zarkov designs a rocket ship to divert the planet and forces Dale and Flash to come along; the mission is successful, but the three wind up marooned on Mongo. Quickly captured by Ming's soldiers, they are put in front of the Emperor himself. Ming falls for Dale (many men fall for her), while his daughter Aura falls for Flash (many women fall for him). And the adventures begin.
This first volume has four chapters. In "On the Planet Mongo", Flash and Dale have their first run-in with Ming. "Monsters of Mongo" has Flash, Dale, Barin and Zarkov as prisoners of the Hawkmen. "Tournaments of Mongo" offers Flash a chance at power, if he can survive a deadly contest. "Caverns of Mongo" takes Flash and Dale off to conquer mysterious cave people.
Almost every strip ends in a cliffhanger, but never fear: Flash is almost unbeatable in a fight. The great pleasure in the comic is the wonderful art with a world more fascinating that most of those offered on the comics page. Who cares if it's ludicrous; it is still a delight. In a way, it's like a Bugs Bunny cartoon: the laws of nature can be bent (or broken) as necessary and reality need not get in the way of telling the story. It's great fun, and the seeming flaws don't hurt the story, they enhance it. If you enjoy reading classic comics, this is one of the best.
Beautifully rendered.......2006-07-10
One of the best reprints of comic art I've seen. The pages are high quality, the images are large and the colors are amazing. The Publisher's Weekly review must have had a different version (as one of these reviews claims), because this book is amazing. If you're a fan of comic art, you won't do much better than this.
Be sure to read the comment below from the publisher........2005-07-30
Alex Raymond created Flash Gordon as a full page comic strip on January 7, 1934. The strip continues today, though only in reprint form, alas. There have been reprints from Kitchen Sink (these are the best), Dark Horse, Comics Revue, and many other publishers. Some of these are still in print, others can be found on ebay. This book, from Checker, reprises the Kitchen Sink material.
The strip had its ups and downs, but most collectors agree that it was in its prime in three eras, the Alex Raymond era from 1934 to 1944, the beginning of a revived daily strip, by Dan Barry, Frank Frazetta, Jack Davis, Wally Wood, Harvey Kurtzman, and just about the whole E.C. Comics gang, from 1951 to 1955, and the Harry Harrison era, from roughly 1958 to 1964. (Harry Harrison also contributed to E.C. Comics, and wrote The Stainless Steel Rat.)
It is good to see these strips back in print.

Should have been "Lord Crowley's Novel".......2007-08-20
It's a gross presumption for me to scribble a few lines about a book that Mr. Crowley gave time and blood to write. But reading time is limited, and these reviews help point out what should be read and what perhaps left aside. Read "Little, Big" and others before this one. The idea underlying "Byron's Novel" is faulty, leaving us with the unavoidable outcome. The book should have been much better. How so?
Mr. Crowley's book is faulty on the first level because one cannot write a strong work as a ventriloquist. Nominally, this book is an imagined facsimile of a novel that Byron could have written. Mr. Crowley called himself a ventriloquist in this work, and we end up at a double or triple remove, too far to reach emotion, and thus bloodless. So must it be, always be, when we write as another and not ourselves, for we cannot reach our own heart when we create another's imaginary heart. Throughout the reading of the book, we long for the true authorial voice, but it never comes.
The book is faulty on the second level - the Ada level - as well. Granting that the author is ventriloquizing, we play along with his game, but he then digresses from that Byron-novel with imaginary Notes to it, supposedly by Byron's daughter, Ada. Yet this too is bloodless, an academic's comment that very slightly reveals the person underneath. From the Ada Notes, we learn nothing of Ada of any real import, nor do we feel what the real Ada could have felt - her rage at dying and its unfairness, her bone-wracking pain, and her (supposed) longing for the great and famous father she could never know and who apparently abandoned her. Approaching the book's end, I was hoping (praying) for blood-infusion, perhaps in the form of Ada herself writing the last chapter of an unfinished novel by Byron, and (inadvertently? consciously?) writing in her own longing, pain, and rage. Then would father and daughter, in this work of art, break through time, separation, and death, to a fusion of great souls. And then we, the reader of Crowley's book, would perhaps know Ada for the first time, and feel something.
The book is faulty on a third level - its second level of digression (!) -an epistolary fragment set in the present day, interspersed through the Byron-novel and Ada-notes. Perhaps authors love to imagine the effect of their works on the culture, academia, and the public - but the author with power to say great things, as Mr. Crowley has, cannot do so, at least in publication. Here, Crowley says that he needed to show the lost text being discovered and contemporary response. Why is this so? It is not so. It is a way for Crowley to perhaps daydream about what would happen if a lost Byron were found. It doesn't belong in this book, and detracts much from it, again being emotionally detached and (this time) with wholly uninteresting persons, even including its nominal parallels to the Bryon-Ada relationship.
What should this book have been? It should have been Mr. Crowley's book, not Byron's or anyone else's. If he wanted here to write a ripping yarn, as he said he did in interview, then he should have done so without academic mediation. He could have, and it could have been very good. I do not believe that such tales have slipped beyond our horizon, so that authors have to couch them as from a simpler time. We've not grown so advanced and modern to be unmoved by tales of incident. If the author wanted to explore Ada's point of view, then write her into the story. To sum up, I guess I want to say that Byron here is a disfiguring crutch for the author (whom I greatly admire) that Mr. Crowley should have thrown away, or hidden from us.
Admirable Achievement.......2007-07-30
The technique of a story within a story is not new. In fact, it goes back to Sanskrit literature. Shakespeare used it effectively. Gide's "The Counterfeiters" carried on the theme and, bringing it into the modern era, John Gardner used it in his "October Light" and Margaret Atwood in "The Blind Assassin."
I admire both Gardner and Atwood but, in both novels, I found the book within a book distracting.
In Crowley's hands we actually have three stories, each playing off against the others and it is an admirable achievement.
A collection of papers alleged to have belonged to Ada Lovelace, developer of the world's first computer program and estranged daughter of Lord Byron, is offered for sale. They include one page attributed to Byron and a number of others covered with strings of numerals. What is not known in the beginning is that Lovelace found and preserved the only novel ever written by her father--one which actually explains much which mystified her about their relationship. Though she was dying at the time, Ada encoded and annotated the novel, hoping it might be preserved for future generations.
Smith, whose relationship with her own father mirrors that of Ada and Byron, enlists his help in deciphering and authenticating the material. The collaboration brings them to a closer understanding of one another.
Great Idea.......2007-05-12
Great idea, that wore thin after a while. I loved the parts with the lovers communicating via email about the discoveries regarding the book. I loved the background of Byron's daughter's story. I didn't really get into the actual "novel" that much. Nice try though.
A Fine and Thoroughly Disappointing Novel.......2006-12-07
This novel is virtually devoid of the mystery and depth of meaning of Crowley's best novels, which I consider to be Little, Big and the Aegypt series.
Technically, it is a marvel, and the mock Byron novel is a rip-roaring read, and even the email exchanges among the principal contemporary characters are interesting; but the book as a whole is terribly predictable (the Byron novel itself being predictably unpredictable). Considering that the novel includes an account of intense literary sleuthing, there is no suspense or sense of discovery. From the beginning you know that the Byron novel has been found, so the sense of excitement the characters feel and express in their email exchanges is totally defused en route to the reader.
The book does explore the nature of self, but for Crowley in a very simplistic dualistic fashion (Byron (or rather his alter-ego in the novel-within-a-novel) in the end revealed as a split personality ); but essentially the book is about daughters coming to terms with absent, troubled fathers, which is admittedly a moving subject, and I suppose Crowley handles that aspect with subtlety and depth, so certain people will certainly find at least parts of the novel moving, but it's just too specific a subject to carry the weight of the entire novel, which in the end I considered little more than an academic display of technical virtuosity, an excercise in various voices.
An intriguing novel that elegantly intertwines mystery with history..........2006-06-24
After reading most of the reviews about Crowley's novel, it is clear to me that the greatest misconception that one can have about this story is that it was written to be a recreation of Lord Byron's lost novel and that alone. When in fact, the story Crowley tells within this book holds a much deeper resonance than that of just simply capturing a largely unknown piece of history and giving life to it. This story breathes with the diversity of a great many qualities, both historically and modernly significant; qualities like passion, strength, loss and deception. Crowley indulges his crafted words throughout this novel with both a sense of romanticism and of modernism. He weaves an intricate fantasy of what Byron's novel could have been while ingeniously informing the reader of Byron's history and staging its creation through the communication of modern characters. I thought this novel was nothing less than brilliant. Once you understand and appreciate the intricacy of significance that Crowley has created within this novel, you will name it brilliant as well.

Classic space opera.......2007-08-12
It's a wonderful time for fans of old comic strips. The classics from the first half of the 20th Century are showing up again in books: nice reprints of material that were previously inaccessible to the general public. Krazy Kat, Dick Tracy, Gasoline Alley, Popeye (Thimble Theater) are being restored for the enjoyment of new readers. And for those of a science fiction bent, there is Flash Gordon.
Volume 3 of Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon continues the ongoing adventures of Flash and fellow Earth people Dale Arden and Hans Zarkov and their battles on the planet of Mongo. Mongo is a planet filled with strange kingdoms and stranger creatures, all ruled loosely by the evil emperor, Ming the Merciless. Most despise Ming's iron-fist rule, but only Flash's defiance offers an opportunity of hope.
The four chapters of this volume were originally published from 1936 to 1938. In "Forest Kingdom of Mongo", Flash, Dale and Hans find themselves in the forests of their friend Prince Barin, but stranded far from safety. Their battles against monsters and the environment continue into "Tusk Men of Mongo" which pits the heroes against a savage tribe. They're pussycats, however, compared to the "Beast Men of Mongo", and brief triumphs lead to greater dangers in "Outlaws of Mongo" in which Flash goes into open rebellion against Ming and faces execution.
With a strip only being issued once a week, characters and plot sometimes suffer, but even if the writing is not top-notch, this is still a fun strip, principally because of the imaginative art work of Raymond, of which little is comparable with in today's comic strips. Perhaps that's the danger of all these re-releases: they make today's strips seem rather pale in comparison. But it's worth the risk. If you enjoy the comics, you'll enjoy Flash Gordon.
Pure Escapism.......2006-01-28
Any fan of science-fiction/fantasy can't go wrong with the Flash Gordon series. If you've got a vivid imagination (like Alex Raymond obviously did)and an hour or so, this book will give you your money's worth. It's just plain fun to follow Flash and his friends' adventures on the planet Mongo and their struggle against the planet's evil ruler, Ming. The artwork is excellent, I think I spent more time viewing it than I did reading the dialogue. The Flash Gordon series is a classic and well-done example of the good vs. evil theme.
As for the book itself, the cover and pages are of good quality. The artwork is in full color, and there is a foreword by the Managing Editor. I highly recommend this volume, as well as the entire series.

This novel could be coined the X-files of the 1850's. There is suspense, intrigue and lots of action. This book is well written and tickles the imagination of any history buff.
Book Description
Premchand is the most famous Hindi novelist, and Godaan is Premchand's most celebrated novel. Economic and social conflict in a north Indian village are brilliantly captured in the story of Hori, a poor farmer, and his family's struggle for survival and self-respect. An engaging introduction to India before Independence, Godaan is at once village ethnography, moving human document, and insightful colonial history. Out of print for many years, this translation is regarded as a classic in itself. Includes a new introduction by Vasudha Dalmia. Godaan was first published in 1936.

Read this book.......2001-11-01
I thought this was an excellent book that helped construct a frame for me to begin to understand India. After travelling in the country recently, my memories of the book helped me put into perspective what I saw about the Indians, and the times I saw them taking advantage of each other. More importantly, the book described the search for dignity that people of all countries must share. It is a very complex country and I was glad I read this.

This is a very cool book. Yang is a master of creating very human characters who exist in a world where anything can happen. Gordon Yamamoto is one of those books that is full of humor and creativity, while maintaining a deep concern for the intricacies of human relationships.
I recommend it!

Book Description
Until They Bring The Streetcars Back serves up a nostalgic journey through the streets of post-war 1949 Saint Paul, those wistful days of ten-cent sodas, big band music, and burning leaves. Stanley West weaves rollicking humor, riveting suspense and a bittersweet love story into the fabric of those optimistic times.
A harmless prank, a chance conversation and Cal Gant (in the friendly neighborhoods of his idyllic life) stumbles onto the naked face of cruelty, incest and murder. When he attempts to rescue a strange and haunting girl from the slaughterhouse her life has become, he finds himself in a heart-stopping struggle with her ruthless father, leading Cal to the brink of self-doubt, terror and death itself. Can he find within himself the backbone to stand against the horror, the daring to concoct some scheme to set Gretchen free? Until They Bring The Streetcars Back is the gripping story of what Cal does.

Sometimes a Critic.......2007-08-06
I heard this book & author discussed on Garage Logic: Rave reviews. It's about St.Paul, so it must be interesting at least. Wrong!
The book is trash and that's where I threw it.
Don't waste your money or time on this book.
Wish I could have given it zero stars.
A good read!.......2006-11-06
I really identified with the main character. It was an interesting storyline. It would make a good book club selection.
St. Paulite, Mn.......2006-02-08
This was such a dynamic read that I literally could not put it down. Having been raised in the setting of the story initially had me hooked, but the mystery of Gretch the wretch, and the solution to her unfamoble family horror had me turning the pages before I was done reading them. Cal is a hero in the same vein as Atticus Finch, someone who sticks up for rights of the unpopular and different. His selfless acts had me in tears. Not only did I grow up just 3 blocks from him, I also went to Central High, have a sister named Peggy, had a father who drove the streetcars, was born in 1949, and spent a short portion of my youth in the workhouse. I can't recomend this book highly enough!
Not bad... but not 5-star, either.......2005-12-18
The story moves quickly, but the plot feels blocky, like parts couldn't be integrated more smoothly, and some aspects seemed only to be there for aesthetic purposes--like the blatant allegory that really wasn't necessary, and in fact detracted from the story.
The characters, though, were well-written and strong, and the setting was wonderful.
Plot Twists and Interesting Characters.......2005-12-06
I started this novel some time ago and then put it down, thinking I knew where it was going. I went back to the book later and found myself more than pleasantly surprised by the plot twists I didn't expect (though some of the story was fairly predictable). In short: once I got about a third of the way into the novel, I was hooked. A very good read. My only real criticism is that the central character is a bit too good to be true. Overall, it's a nice coming-of-age novel and fits in nicely with other books set in Minnesota such as "Grand Opening" and "Hillcrest Journal."
Book Description
Superman's role in romanticizing commercialism; sexual violence in Japanese manga comics; Wonder Woman as Americanized immigrant; reader's reactions to the gay superhero Northstar; Dilbert as a workplace revolutionary; the Punisher's invasion of Vietnam-these are a few of the issues that Comics & Ideology addresses. Focusing on the intersection of social power and comic art, essays in this book explore how images and narratives in comic books and comic strips may portray social groups and social issues. As a scholarly examination of a form known as "the funnies" or "funny books," this book argues that the themes and characterizations in comic art are often quite serious. Essays take diverse theoretical perspectives such as cultural studies, political economy, feminist criticism, queer studies, and mythic analysis, all focusing on the relationship of comics to issues of social division.

Interesting, but Lacks Vital Core........2001-12-12
Excluding the introduction, Comics & Ideology includes eleven rather different essays, which is to say that the only unifying themes in the various contributions, as the reader might expect, are "comics" and "ideology." Unfortunately, both have such varied definitions that although they are used with great frequency in the collection, they are often referring to vastly different things. "Comics" include everything from Japanese magna to syndicated American newspaper strips to traditional superhero comics. Similarly, "ideology" refers to gender politics, race and ethnicity, nationalism, nostalgia, as well as more traditional political belief systems. As such it is rather difficult to recommend the book: there is no great concentration of any one mode of scholarship to attract any scholar with specific interests, and with there being so few limitations on the types of texts considered it would be rather difficult to use the whole text in any unifying way (i.e. teaching a course, or even general research). At most, Comics & Ideology may offer potential readers one or two essays of interest, but this will be entirely dependant upon the individual. For my purposes (and I assume for the majority of potential readers), Comics & Ideology offers three (or five if Judge Dredd and superheroes in The `Nam can be considered) useful essays on American superhero comics, concentrating, respectively, on Wonder Woman, Superman, and gay characters in mainstream comics.
"The Tyranny of the Melting Pot Metaphor" by Matthew J. Smith is a rather interesting approach to Women Woman and her place in the DC universe: Unlike Superman who is quickly homogenized in Smallville, Kansas, Wonder Woman's entire career has been spent in an attempt to slowly acculturate herself to the United States. While Smith wanders from time to time (falling into the inevitable discussion of Wonder Woman and bondage), the article is interesting and the utility of it is apparent: Wonder Woman is the every-immigrant, slowly becoming American through the adoption of cultural practices, and Smith provides an ample framework to understand similar conversions in comic books as well as aliens from more traditional science fiction.
One of the most important pieces of comic book criticism is Umberto Eco's "The Myth of Superman" which Ian Gordon updates in his "Nostalgia, Myth, and Ideology: Visions of Superman at the End of the `American Century'." The basic argument is that Superman must constantly be reinvented in order to appeal to new readers (or viewers of the cinematic or television adaptations, as is the case with most of Gordon's contribution), and Gordon does a good job of updating Eco's argument, appealing to the more commercially recognized screen versions of the Man of Steel.
Morris E. Franklin's "Coming Out in Comics Books" is the most interesting piece in the collection, largely due to his methodological procedure: Eschewing the typical literary analysis of the text itself, Franklin consults the letter columns in comics to analyze reader reaction to coming out narratives. And while the selective editorial practices that limit the letters that are included in such letter columns prohibit full understanding of reader reaction, Franklin does provide a useful model for scholars interested in more anthropological analysis of comic books and their fans.
Finally, the studies of Judge Dredd comics and superhero appearances in Marvel Comics' The `Nam are rather interesting - both deal explicitly with politics, and as such are more at the heart of Comics & Ideology than the majority of the other contributions. Unfortunately though, their political contribution isn't enough to demand owning this collection for political scholars, nor is their loose relation to superheroes enough for those interested in tight- and cape-wearing men and women. Overall, Comics & Ideology has decent pieces, but as a collection it fails to coalesce into a clear academic statement.
