*** Seating Arrangements By Maggie Shipstead – Review ***

Anita Sethi, The Observer


> The timeframe of this taut, highly accomplished debut novel is only three days during the wedding week of the elder daughter of the affluent Van Meter family, yet such is the author's skill that whole lifetimes are compellingly captured within it. Simmering beneath the surface of single days are memories and frustrated fantasies of ghostly lives not lived, vying for attention.




*** A Life-or-Death Situation ***

Robin Marantz Henig, New York Times


> By the time Peggy arrived and saw her husband ensnared in the life-sustaining machinery he hoped to avoid, decisions about intervention already had been made. It was Nov. 14, 2008, late afternoon. She didn’t know yet that Brooke would end up a quadriplegic, paralyzed from the shoulders down.

> Suffering, suicide, euthanasia, a dignified death — these were subjects she had thought and written about for years, and now, suddenly, they turned unbearably personal. Alongside her physically ravaged husband, she would watch lofty ideas be trumped by reality — and would discover just how messy, raw and muddled the end of life can be.




*** Annie And Her Sisters ***
<http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/21/movies/woody-allens-distinctive-female-characters.html?_r=0>
David Itzkoff, New York Times


> In the span of more than 40 of Mr. Allen’s films, including “Annie Hall,” “Hannah and Her Sisters” and “Vicky Cristina Barcelona,” strong and memorable women have become as much a hallmark of his movies as the venerable Windsor font in their credits. These are women who dominate and who are subjugated, who struggle and love and kvetch and fall apart, but they rarely conform to simplistic stereotypes. Jasmine may be deeply troubled, but at least she’s deep.

> Yet almost nothing connects these characters — who have been played by actresses including Diane Keaton, Dianne Wiest, Scarlett Johansson and Penélope Cruz — except that they have all sprung from the mind of the same filmmaker, one who professes no real insight into how he writes and casts his female characters but remains confident that he still knows how to create them.




*** Follow The Pasta Trail Around The Globe In 'On The Noodle Road' ***

Carolyn Kellogg, Los Angeles Times


> You may have heard that Italy was introduced to pasta by Marco Polo, who brought it from China. It's a great story, but it was probably cooked up by a 1920s Don Draper — it's just not true. Italians were eating pasta before Polo was born.

> How, then, did two nations half a world apart, with radically disparate cuisines, wind up making noodles that are strikingly similar? That's what food writer Jen Lin-Liu sets out to discover in "On the Noodle Road," traveling overland from Beijing to Rome.
