Jo Nesbo - Is Scandinavia a hotbed of excellent crime writers or what? If you haven't got there yet, go. Oh and Redbreast is the first one, despite what the translation order says. BUtterfield 8 - John O'Hara - why haven't I come across him before? The Swan Thieves - Elizabeth Kostova. A fabulous tale of love and art and the Leda myth thrown in for good measure. The Chatelet Apprentice - Nicola Floch. A Gallic Books mystery set in the 18th century. Nicely evocative.

Harris is a master at constructing worlds in which the reader believes implicitly, be they large (a victorious Third Reich) or small (The Ghost's island bleakness), and in those worlds he places finely-drawn, multi-dimensional characters. If Hannibal Rising was a book too far, the end of Hannibal, when Lecter and Starling swan off into the sunset together, was the perfect finale to one of the most bizarre and disquieting love stories of our time.

(Nor is this a new motif for Mitchell: In Number9Dream, the protagonist searches for his father; in Black Swan Green, he slowly loses him.) All the novel's major characters are orphans, and so are most of its minor ones. It has a Land- Gate at one end and a Sea-Gate at the other, and goods—bearers of culture—move from one to the other, as time moves from past to future through the present. Europe on one side, Japan on the other, a tiny island in between. top of page.

Fantasia, released in 1940, started out to be a kind of super Silly Symphony for Mickey Mouse, with Leopold Stokowski directing a full orchestra in The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Walt built it into something more, In the footage—or mileage—Walt stumbled on one of the great stories of nature: the saga of the fur seals coming up from the sea to crowded island beaches in the Pribilofs, there to calve and mate. The Milottes caught the cruel and mysterious reality of the
