![]() Writing Aru required tapping into an amused and constantly panicked part of myself. I don’t think we’re capable of shrugging off who we were in middle school. ![]() Seventh grade was the year I gave myself bangs (ugh), used Nair for the first time and left it on too long (hello chemical Groucho Marx moustache burns), got dumped over AIM (NO!) and also laughed so hard and so often that my face constantly hurt and I’m pretty I sprained my ribs at lunch every day. In this case, Aru demanded my experience as a seventh grader. Writing middle grade was neither easier nor harder, but it demanded different parts of myself. As I read this, I dearly hope that doesn’t say something about me. In my second novel, A Crown of Wishes, I put my humor and general lamentations about the nature of quests in … a … talking … corpse … character. In my debut, The Star-Touched Queen, my most autobiographical character was the flesh eating demon horse. I’m not that great about putting myself into my main characters.

Now a professor of social psychology at the University of Virginia, as a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania he studied the moral systems of primitive cultures and did research in Brazil, and eventually India. Haidt tells the story of his intellectual awakening. Kohlberg’s theory was a comforting one for the liberalism that was for many decades in the middle of the twentieth century our ruling ideology, but as it turns out he was wrong about our moral nature. In other words, the mature, morally developed person is a liberal. Kohlberg theorized that children go through stages of moral development, culminating in a “post-conventional” attitude that questions social norms and revises them to accord with higher principles of justice. In the days when Haidt began his work in psychology in the 1980s, the work of Lawrence Kohlberg still dominated. One that is, I’d say, therefore certainly less reasonable than conservatism’s, and for the vast majority of people in the world far from obvious. When he was a young graduate student, Jonathan Haidt presumed that “liberal” was pretty much a synonym for “reasonable,” if not for “obvious.” Now, as he writes in The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion, he has found that liberals have limited moral vision. It wasn’t a conclusion he thought he’d come to. ![]() ![]() ![]() Elfrieda is a world-renowned pianist meanwhile, Yolandi, the narrator, twice-divorced, with thwarted ambitions as a writer, considers herself a mess. ![]() As I fell asleep at last, what occurred to me was that Toews' book was a bittersweet proof of this: that where the usefulness of information ends, the usefulness of the novel begins.įor this book, despite its origins in real life, is fiction. But then sometimes, paradoxically, having so much information can seem to diminish or misdirect our comprehension of a thing like suicide, a thing like grief. We live within reach of so much information these days that I could have gone on searching forever: the Mennonites, barrel racing, Rotterdam, the pathology of multiple suicides within a family. It was later than I had meant to stay up. The purity of the experience of reading the book had dissipated. Finally I shut my computer again, feeling half-guilty. I experienced the author's grief secondhand, after having read her description of it firsthand. For a half-hour I investigated Toews' family, with all that sense of entitlement to other people's lives that characterizes our age. ![]() ![]() ![]() The importance of a good protection for the QB has resulted in Left Tackles being among the most highly paid players in the game.Īfter this prologue, the narrative switches to the story of Michael Oher, a left tackle at Ole Miss expected to be one of the top choices in next year’s NFL draft. As a result, NFL teams had to find big, agile men to play Left Tackle to defend against the rushing Lawrence Taylors of the game. Lewis details LT’s effect in a second-by-second retelling of the four-second play that ended Washington QB Joe Thiesman’s careeer (which you can see in all its gory on YouTube). As a result he was able to put fear in the hearts of NFL quarterbacks by being able to come at them fast and furious from the right, their blind side. Taylor was able to change the game because he was a huge man but also fast, agile, and athletic. The Blind Side deals with a change that occurred in the NFL with the emergence of the New York Giants’ linebacker Lawrence Taylor. I’m not too interested in football but I read (with my ears) The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game(2006) by Michael Lewis because it sounded like an intriguing story and I’d liked Lewis’ earlier sports book Moneyball. ![]() |
