Adam Grant, a organizational psychologist, believes we can make better decisions to improve our lives if we take the time to reconsider our choices. Remember the advice when you’re taking at multiple choice test: don’t change your answers! Grant researched that strategy and found that students who did change their answers went from Wrong Answer to Right Answer 70% of the time.

As a consultant, Grant worked for several companies that took his advice and changed their direction…and improved their work atmosphere and profits. Grant points out that smart people can become convinced they’re right about their opinions and choices when a thoughtful reconsideration can produce more accurate results.

Lionel White, who wrote some of the best and authentic caper novels of the 1950s and 1960s, is well represented in this new STARK HOUSE volume. Steal Big (1960) features a group lead by a professional bank robber named Donovan. Donovan, just released from prison, wants a big score so he can live in the style he dreams about.

But Donovan’s crew all have serious flaws. Donovan broods about his accomplices: “An evil old woman who would steal the pennies from a dead man’s eyes. A puny psychopathic sadist who likes to kill for the fun of it. A punch-drunk moron who by all rights should be in a side show. A college boy who hates the world because he figured he took a bum rap. A group who isn’t dry behind the ears yet and who wants to go for the ride because she thinks she’ll get enough money out of it spring her old man out of the clink.” (p. 101)

Lionel White weaves a compelling story of gathering resources–guns, cars, recording equipment–and planning for a bank robbery that could net Donovan and his crew an estimated $750,000. But, of course, the perfect plan starts to unravel and Donovan has to scramble to adjust. GRADE: B+

The Big Caper (1955) centers around a criminal mastermind called Flood who needs money to dig himself out of debt. Flood puts together a quirky group that includes an arsonist, a psychopathic killer, and a safe-cracking specialist. The plan is brilliant, but Flood underestimates the power of attraction as two of the team fall in love. The Big Caper displays the professional preparation and planning that goes into a heist. And, it also shows how even the most brilliant plan can go wrong. GRADE: A

Nicholas Litchfield’s informative “The Learned, Bookless Master of the Big Caper” provides more information about Lionel White’s writing career than previous STARK HOUSE volumes. Cullen Gallagher sums up Lionel White’s impact in “A Matter of Time: Looking Back at Lionel White.” Plus, there’s a Lionel White Bibliography, too! Don’t miss this latest terrific Lionel White Stark House collection!

When the artist known as Prince died in 2016 he didn’t leave a Will, but he did leave a Vault full of hundreds of recorded songs. Welcome 2 America was just released although it was recorded back in 2010.

My favorite song is “One Day We Will All B Free,” an anthem type song. The only song that might get some airplay on radio would be “Hot Summer” which is about a hot summer. And, this being a Prince album, there’s “When She Comes,” a song about orgasms.

Many of the songs on Welcome 2 America have a political aspect or message.  Rock critic Kory Grow wrote that Welcome 2 America contains ”stronger songs and sharper messages than much of the music he [Prince] released during his final years.” Grow maintains that the ”grooves are funkier, the sex jams are sexier, and the Curtis Mayfield homages are superflyier”.

I have a different opinion on Welcome 2 America than Grow. Many of the songs sound unfinished. I do agree with Grow that the music Prince released in his final years is weak. Perhaps drugs affected Prince’s performance and musical abilities. I probably won’t listen to Welcome 2 America again. Are you a fan of Prince? Do you have a favorite song? GRADE: C

While reading On Violence and On Violence Against Women by Jacqueline Rose (you can read my review here), I noticed Jacqueline Rose referred to Hannah Arendt’s On Violence and Crises of the Republic frequently. I’ve read a lot of Hannah Arendt’s work, but I hadn’t read these two books.

My favorite essay in Crises of the Republic (1972) is “Lying in Politics.” Hannah Arendt writes: “…the aspects of deception, self-deception, image-making, ideologizing, and defactualization…all these people, involved in an unjust war and rightly compromised by it…” (p. 44-45). Arendt is writing about the Vietnam War (and the Pentagon Papers) but what she writes about could easily be applied to the Catastrophe in Afghanistan now happening.

For over 20 years, we were told by our Government that progress was being made, that success and “nation-building” was just around the corner. Arendt debunks that flim-flam in On Violence, too: “…only in a world in which nothing of importance ever happens could the futurologists’ dream come true. Predictions of the future are never anything but projections of present automatic processes and procedures, that is, of occurrences that are likely to come to pass if men do not act and if nothing unexpected happens; every action, for better or worse, and every accident necessarily destroys the whole pattern…” (p. 7)

The world considers America powerful, but Arendt explains how debacles like Vietnam and Afghanistan can happen despite our vast technology and power. “Power corresponds to the human ability not just to act to act in concert. Power is never the property of an individual; it belongs to a group and remains in existence only so long as the group keeps together.” ( p. 44).

Clearly the “group” in Vietnam and now Afghanistan couldn’t keep it together. After 2400 casualties, 60,000 injured service personnel, and $2 TRILLION spent we’re in the state of chaos…again. What do you think of what happened in Afghanistan?

I just bought and watched this newly remastered Blu-ray, from a 4K film scan of the original elements, which looks better than any other DVD or Blu-ray of Nashville that I’ve seen!

Nashville (1975) is the ultimate ensemble movie. It follows 24 quirky characters through 5 days in the country music capital of the world. Robert Altman’s Oscar winning epic presents a stunning portrayal of America’s obsession with celebrity, fame, and political power.

Altman’s cameras capture the various stars, wannabes, hangers-on, grifters, and media types including a politically ambitious country icon and his fragile star protégée, a self-absorbed rock star who woos a lonely married gospel singer while sleeping with other women, a talentless waitress who is painfully humiliated at her first singing gig, a runaway wife with dreams of stardom, and a campaign guru who is trying to organize a concert rally for a mysterious presidential candidate.

There’s a lot going on in Nashville, but my favorite scenes are the ones Geraldine Chaplin–claiming she’s with the BBC and working on a documentary–steals. Are you a fan of Nashville? GRADE: A

Weighing in at 914 pages, Simon Heffer’s The Age of Decadence certainly qualifies as a Big Fat Book (a book with 500+ pages). I’ve always been interested in the growth of the British Empire and Heffer’s tome presents the time period in glorious detail.

One of the characters that I admire in the 1880-1914 years is Oscar Wilde. He was wild and crazy and talented. “On his first visit to America in 1982 (when he is alleged to have said he had nothing to declare except his genius)…” (p. 22). Wilde pops up in various chapters to interject levity…or to be persecuted.

Simon Heffer doesn’t spare the Royal Family. He skewers Albert Edward mercilessly. “By 1890 the Prince, then nearly forty, was an accomplished adulterer and glutton, the former hobby noted by his circle (and his wife) but never publicly remarked upon, and the latter earning him the nickname ‘Tum-tum’.” (p. 87)

Along with fascinating stories of the great people of that age, Heffer engages in some cultural anthropology, too. “One of the great evils of working-class life–as well as one of its main recreations–was drink. Karl Marx said that drink was the curse of the working classes: Wilde that work was curse of the drinking classes.” (p. 173)

The Age of Decadence is the best book of history that I’ve read about these critical years in British and World History. I highly recommend it! Are you a fan of History? GRADE: A

Nanci Griffith, a singer who straddled the genres of folk, folk rock, and country western music, died on August 13, 2021. She was 68 years old. No cause of death was given, but Griffith battled breast cancer and thyroid cancer in the 1990s; perhaps one of them returned.

I own about a dozen Nanci Griffith CDs and have enjoyed them all. I’m featuring Flyer from 1994 because the title song includes the lines:

He was a flyer for the Air Force
On a plane from San Antonio
I was traveling to London
He was going off to Buffalo

There are plenty of other songs to like on Flyer. I’m fond of “Don’t Forget About Me” with Mark Knopfler’s guitar work. “Fragile” is very pretty with a choir that includes Emmylou Harris, another favorite of mine.

I’ll miss Nanci Griffith, knowing her crystal clear voice and her wonderful songs only exist on disc now. Anyone who dies at 68 is leaving us too soon. GRADE: A

Angus Fletcher’s Wonderworks is a browser’s delight! Each chapter in this book explores a different literary technique. Fletcher presents the history of the technique, how it was developed, and how it is used in contemporary fiction.

Dan would certainly enjoy Chapter 8 on Hamlet and Deb would find new insights in Chapter 15 on Middlemarch. I never saw the connection between Jane Austen and Henry Fielding until I read Chapter 11.

Angus Fletcher’s wide reading brings Eastern classics into focus. Including Le Guin’s The Left Hand of Darkness shows how genres influence one another.

I found Wonderworks a fascinating reinterpretation of classic Literature writing with wit and passion. Highly recommended! GRADE: A

The Best from Fantasy and Science Fiction, Eighth Series is the last of the anthologies in this series that Anthony Boucher edited. And, he goes out with a bang! I enjoyed Fritz Leiber’s “A Deskful of Girls” (which reminded me of Mitt Romney’s “binders full of women” comment (you can check it out here). I’ve always liked Brian W. Aldiss’s “Poor Little Warrior.” Shirley Jackson is represented by “The Omen.”

C. M. Kornbluth is honored by a memoriam, a “Memorial Bibliography,” and the inclusion of his short story, “Theory of Rocketry.”

Zenna Henderson’s The People story, “Captivity,” shows the damage isolation can cause. The most famous story in this anthology is Alfred Bester’s classic time travel tale, “The Men Who Murdered Mohammed.” I’ve been entertained by all 8 of Anthony Boucher’s The Best From Fantasy and Science Fiction anthologies and look forward to the next entries in the series.

Back in the 1960s, I loved Lou Rawls, especially when he sang “Love Is a Hurtin’ Thing” and “Dead End Street (Parts 1 & 2). I loved Rawls’ habit of doing a gritty monologue before some songs like “Dead End Street” and then busting into song.

Later in his career with 60 albums and sales of over 40 million records, Lou Rawls specialized in Easy Listening hits like “You’ll Never Find Another Love Like Mine” (Grammy Winner: Best Male Pop Vocal Performance in 1978). But I prefer Rawls’ early soul songs. Are you a fan of Lou Rawls and his music? Do you remember these songs? GRADE: A
