Kirkus' ReviewNot all of the recipes in this aromatic collection have wine as an ingredient, but most of them do and all of them are meant to be enjoyed, as they are catch, along with wine. Divided into the traditional categories of appetizers, soups, fish, meats, salads, vegetables and deserts, the recipes include details of preparation as well as the lore of the dish itself and of the wine that goes with it. Coverage is world wide (Butterfly Steak, Hong Kong style; Baked Chicken Czardas; Carrois California style, etc.) and the appeal will be to an audience of male cooks too. A treat for those who enjoyed With a Jug of Wine.

I Tell a Lie Every So Often

Clements, Bruce

The Years with Laura Diaz is Carlos Fuentes's most important novel in several decades. Like his masterpiece The Death of Artemio Cruz, the action begins in the state of Veracruz and moves to Mexico City -- tracing a migration during the Revolution and its aftermath that was a feature of Mexico's demographic history and is a significant element in Fuentes's fictional world. Now the principal figure is not Artemio Cruz (who, however, makes a brief appearance) but Fuentes's first major female protagonist, the extraordinary Laura Diaz. Fuentes's richly woven narrative tapestry of her life from 1905 to 1978 -- filled with a multitude of witty, heartbreaking scenes and the sounds and colors, tastes and scents of Mexico -- shows us this wonderful woman as she grows into a politically committed artist who is also a wife and mother, a lover of great men, and a complicated and alluring heroine whose brave honesty prevails despite her losing a brother, son, and grandson to the darkest forces of Mexico's turbulent, often corrupt politics. In the end, Laura Diaz herself dies, after a life filled with tragedy and loss, but she is a happy woman, for she has borne witness to and helped to affect the course of history, and has loved and understood with unflinching honesty.
