This classic test first published in 1966 has withstood the test of time as a teaching aid for English-speaking singers, coaches, and accompanists, in order that their art may be more communicative to the public. This word-by-word translation allows the artist to properly interpret and express the feelings and emotions that the words require at the proper time.

Pierre Delattre's joyful book, Tales of a Dalai Lama, records earthbound flights of the spirit, like a bridge over silence. Here is a work of fiction with language simple and beautiful, detailing the structure of the faith of the Tibetan people as seen through the eyes of the awestruck, funny, and wise Dalai Lama, sometimes old and sometimes young. Here is fiction at its best, sure in its footing, centered in writing as an art, fulfilling its own functions and overcoming its own obstacles, bearing the reader along a path of zen grabbers, belly laughs, and glimpses of enlightenment while experiencing the nobility of faith. --

Walking on air, the goal of us all, is equal to nirvana. The cast of the mystical circus at the heart of the novel is still lovely: Dad's a gorilla, Mr and Mrs Solomon are chimps, Jack and Jill are dancing dolphins, Boomie's the sexy knife-thrower, to name a few. Papouli oversees it all, the rings of the Sun and Moon, Polyphemus the lion tamer, the performing poodles, the clowns Bob the Grip and Lazarus. With his wife, Mamouli, who wants to walk on air, Papouli performs feats on the high wire. Walking on Air failed to live up the regard I'd held for it all those years. I'm a different reader now, as I like to say, and less susceptible to snake oil. I was surprised, in reading this time, to think the novel has more to do with chakras than with Buddhism. In the end, I grew impatient with its theme of spirituality and mysticism and thought the metaphors and central ideas inelegantly stitched into the narrative.

Woman on the Cross is a novel that takes place near the end of the 18th century in a deforested Latin American country where the pre-Christian nature religion has been suppressed. The story tells of Sebastian Cristo Rey, the last actor in a family line of professional Christs who have made their living being crucified on Good Fridays, and what happens when Sidelle, daughter of the priestess who maintains the pre-Christian tradition of tree worship, is nailed to Sebastian's cross.
