Ilustration Conducive To Books The Master Butchers Singing Club

From National Book Award-winning, New York Times-bestselling author Louise Erdrich, a profound and enchanting new novel: a richly imagined world “where butchers sing like angels.”

Having survived World War I, Fidelis Waldvogel returns to his quiet German village and marries the pregnant widow of his best friend, killed in action. With a suitcase full of sausages and a master butcher's precious knife set, Fidelis sets out for America. In Argus, North Dakota, he builds a business, a home for his family—which includes Eva and four sons—and a singing club consisting of the best voices in town. When the Old World meets the New—in the person of Delphine Watzka—the great adventure of Fidelis's life begins. Delphine meets Eva and is enchanted. She meets Fidelis, and the ground trembles. These momentous encounters will determine the course of Delphine's life, and the trajectory of this brilliant novel.

Weigh Up Appertaining To Books The Master Butchers Singing Club

University of Iowa, Feb. 2003Clueless radio interviewer asked if the frequent mentions of stomachs in the book had to do with a metaphorical hunger or the reposession of bodies to the earth through death. Ms. Erdrich said no, she was pregnant and couldn't reach the keyboard, so it was kind of on her mind. Funny and moving - it must be a good sign if she brings you to tears during the reading.

The is an OK book that fell far short of what it could have been, the reason, probably, having to do with the authors revelation in the Acknowledgements that follow the text, specifically, the third and final paragraph in which she acknowledges that members of her family inspired key characters (although I suspect she give short shrift to the existent that Delphine is based on her grandmother).This is a big, sprawling family saga with intriguing ethnic and historical angles. Normally I love

Ok, so I read this book in 7 hours yesterday. Couldn't put it down. Very sad, but interesting and gripping novel! I'd even go so far as to call it 'epic'.I sobbed my heart out on pages 139-140...other than that, I was just involved in the story. In turn I thought, Poor Delphine, Poor Cyprian, Poor Eva, Poor Fidelis, Poor Markus, Poor Franz, Poor Mazarine!!! I never felt Poor Tante though... hahahah.The end was VERY surprising.

Sort of a The Shipping News meets Fargo, set in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. The characterizations are uneven and spazzy; the narrative unaccountably choppy; but Erdrich does captivate and compel here and there.The best part is the amazing descriptions of food:"...breakfast of cheese and bread and stewed prunes... ...coriander, pepper, and apple-wood-smoked pork, a rich odor, clean and bloody and delicious... ....every mood of redtwenty or thirty cuts of meat, summer sausage, liver sausage, beer

This was the first book I've read of Erdrich's. It was a beautifully written and sometimes heartbreaking love story. A love story between men and women, mothers and sons and daughters, fathers and sons and daughters, women friends, and even a love story between humans and animals. The characters were supremely formed, kind and awful, and the setting of North Dakota was expansive. The story was slow in some parts, but the writing was worth it. I did have to train myself to read this book slowly.

******************************************Louise Erdrich likes to sneak up behind us and surprise us with what we already know but are trying to forget.Death and life are the same. Our own lives lead us towards our own deaths as we live from the proteins that we harvest from those other living creatures killed for our nourishment. And we, ourselves, live and die for the nourishment of others.That which we see around us is so much more than we suspect; but is hidden from us by, not only our own

This woman is an AMAZING author with an incredible talent for finding her characters' voices. There are alot of people in this book whose lives are intertwining, and you come to know all (or at least most) of them so intimately that it is slightly jarring when the perspective changes from one to another. And yet you quickly become familiar again with the way each person is and how they see their world. They are all very real and very honest. My only problem with this book was that it felt rushed
