For anyone who read Lerner’s outstanding first novel, 2011’s Leaving the Atocha Station, about a young poet on a fellowship in Madrid, such fierce wranglings with reality and fiction and the artist’s head inside the flights of the collective mind should have been expected. “I decided to replace the book I’d proposed with the book you’re reading now, a work that, like a poem, is neither fiction nor nonfiction, but a flickering between them.” So the protagonist pronounces toward the end of Ben Lerner’s second novel, 10: 04. “It just seems cowardly, given the kind of writing I’m interested in, not to risk the personal, but also equally cowardly not to then transcend it. ![]() ![]() ![]() The verbosity of a Michener is missing, but all the other elements are present, from geology and archaeology to a rich story of human life. Rutherfurd has told the story of the land he was born in and has told it well. Their fortunes rise and fall both economically and politically, but the land triumphs over the passage of time and the ravages of humans. Each family has one or more characteristic types who appear in successive centuries: the round-headed balding man who is good with his hands the blue-eyed blonde woman who insists on having her independence the dark, narrow-faced fisher of river waters and secrets. A first novel, Rutherfurd's sweeping saga of the area surrounding Stonehenge and Salisbury, England, covers 10,000 years and includes many generations of five families. This book will be a hit with young adults who have the time and attention for longer works. Rutherford has a style and energy all his own that should appeal to young readers of historical fiction. There is plenty of action to keep readers motivated to finish the book. Each of the families can be identified through genetic characteristics handed down through the ages, not simply physical characteristics, but attitudes and morals, too. This sprawling novel follows the fortunes and losses of five families from the Stone Age through the present time. ![]() ![]() ![]() After years of success, Taylor purchased his ranch near Abbott in Hall County in 1890.
