Wild at Heart
Dead Heat is a truck full of dynamite careening through
a narrow tunnel with land mines on either side. It is a
wild and violent ride, full of both brilliant and brutal
prose, but Del Stone, Jr., never lets the story get out of
control. I was never a big fan of Zombie movies but I loved
this book. The lead character, Hitch, IS a zombie, but a
zombie with a twist. He still has his intellect. He knows
what he's lost. And that makes all the difference in this
really excellent novel.

A Unique Take On a Modern Myth
The reason that the myth of zombies scares us is simple: we fear our own mortality. To think that our soul, the very essence of our humanity, could be stripped away from the flesh, and yet the body could continue to be animated is terrifying. Add to that the craving for human flesh and the scenario becomes one of violent, morbid desolance.

What if, however, our body were to decay in the way of death, but our human essence were to remain inside of us? A rotting, festering mass of human flesh and bone roaming the Earth with conciousness and self-awareness; cognative reason and motor skills. This is what happens to Hitch, the protagonist in Dead Heat. In a world where billions of walking dead roam craving human flesh, Hitch is one of them and yet not. He has no physical feeling, no connection with his body as it rots away before his eyes, but he has a vague recollection of his human life and it's value.

Hitch sets off on a quest to answer the question we all ask: why am I here, different than everyone else, and what is my purpose? An amazingly written, often graphically violent, encompassing novel.

Great Horror by one of the best young horror writers.
Dead Heat is Del Stone's first novel length work, but won't be his last. His characters are gritty, I'm still picking the grit out of my teeth, and believable, in that neo-futuristic biker-zombie sort of way.

And for those of you who aren't sure, yes, Del Stone posed for the art work and yes, that is his grin.

review on heaven stories pablo nerudo
Now, this pablo nerudo translation brings you into the spanish language and allows you to feel what the author is saying. In fact, the poems have more meaning reading them in english becuase of the usage of adjectives. Numeral I and II show good description use in english translation. The english translation seems so much fuller and descriptive opposed to the spanish version.

HEAVEN STONES
Jacketti is the best at translating this nobel prize winner's work. All the hard work Dr. Jacketti has ben doing her whole life has really payed off. Her traslations in heaven stone are great she is always impressing me with all the work she has done. I'm very privleged to have her as my teacher.

Heaven Stones, translated by Jacketti
Jacketti shows real talent in not just translating the words of Pablo Neruda, but bringing each word and phrase to life. An extraordinary find for the reader of this Nobel Prize winning writer. Everone should enjoy it.

Last winter in Oaxaca I met a Zapotec family...
"El libro, muestra el libro" said Senora Galan in the simple room of their home as we sipped hot chocolate against the chilly night air. Leo ran off and returned with a picture book which he presented to me, and returned to his mothers side to watch as I read. The book of course was Beneath the Stone: A Mexican Zapotec Tale, written about Leo and his family by Bernard Wolf.

I met Leo's mother in the marketplace in Oaxaca. She was standing in front of a table covered with beautiful woven rugs and wall hangings. When I admired her rugs and heard about the way she and her family weave them, in the same way their family has done for centuries, I was fascinated. The weavings on the wool rugs made intricate patterns, mostly traditional designs, Senora Galan told me, and are passed down family to family. The dies they use are from the plants around them, boiled for days in a tub in the bare yard of their home. We spoke for a while, and when Senora Galan discovered that I was a young woman traveling alone, she insisted that I stay with her family that night in Teotitlan de Valle, a short way from Oaxaca city. Feeling a bit lonely, I accepted, and was welcomed by the Galan family to their simple home.

Mr. Wolf's book, which I read in the room were he took many of the photos, beautifully describes the desolate beauty of Teotitlan and the warmth and kindness of the people to whom this land is home. Leo proudly watched as I read about him, following along the path of his day with the picture book. Leo, like the rest of his family, helps weave the rugs in the winter time, when the farm work is done. Beneath the Stone, details the steps involved in making the rugs, closely following the work from raw wool through dying and weaving until the finished products are stacked in a special room to await market day.

Mr. Wolf very accurately captures the feel of Teotitlan and the lives of its Zapotec inhabitants. His book details the lives of this family so well that Senora Galan was worried that perhaps too much was revealed about her family's trade secrets. She also seemed sad to not have heard from Mr. Wolf since he left their home to complete the book in New York. In an increasingly homogenous world, surviving traditional cultures like the Zapotec become more fascinating to the world. I recommed Beneath the Stone for children, because of its clear vision of another child's very different life, but I would hope parents would include with it a lesson on the dangers of exploitation.

First hand account of the book's family
This is a book geared toward the young reader, but anyone with an interest in the Zapotec weavings and culture will find it a heartwarming and quick read. While visiting Oaxaca over Christmas I had the priviledge to meet Antoinetta in her kiosk at the Zocolo. This gracious lady introduced me to the book as well as to the beautiful works of her family.
