Where do I begin? The impact of the English Puritans, such as Richard Sibbes, John Owen, and Thomas Goodwin has been like a "grace in the wilderness" (Jer. 31:2) in my life. It is easy to lose sight of Christ amidst of busyness of modern life. When I read, The Bruised Reed by Richard Sibbes, my soul experienced the sweetness of Christ which I have never felt before. Likewise, Thomas Goodwin's The Heart of Christ similarly touched my weary soul with Christ and His love. The book is about Christ's love for His people from heaven. Goodwin encourages believers that Jesus' love for them did not change as He ascended to heaven, rather His love is now more intensified. A couple of quotes from the book will confirm such sweetness:" 'I will come again and receive you unto myself' (says Christ), 'that so where I am, you may be also.' That last part of his speech, gives the reason of it, and withal bewrays his entire affection. It is as if he said, 'The truth is, I cannot live without you, I shall never be quiet till I have you where I am, that so we may never part again; that is the reason of it. Heaven shall not hold me, nor my Father's company, if I have not you with me, my heart is so set upon you; and if I have any glory, you shall have part of it'" (pp. 16-17)."So Christ says here, 'Tell them you have seen Jesus their brother; I own them as brethren still... That I, says, he, 'ascend to my Father, and your Father'. A more friendly speech by far, and arguing infinite more love than that of Joseph's did (though that was full of loving affection), for Joseph after he had told them he was their brother, adds, 'whom you sold into Egypt'; he reminds them of their unkindness; but not so Christ, not a word of that, he reminds them not of what they had done against him" (p. 29)."No sin of theirs troubled him but their unbelief. Which shows how his heart stands, in that he desires nothing more than to have men believe in him; and this now when glorified... 'Peter' (says he), 'lovest thou me?' Christ loves to hear that note; full well do those words sound in his ears, when you tell him you love him, though he knows it already..." (pp. 32-33).Goodwin masterfully illustrates Christ's love for His people. As a pastor, he has left an indelible mark in my heart, my life, and my ministry. If you just be patient with the book, you will see and feel Christ's love through this book. Highly, highly recommended.

Thomas Goodwin was a Puritan preacher at Holy Trinity Church, then President of Magdalen College. He was extraordinarily charitable to those he disagreed with. At the age of 80, with a fatal fever, his dying words were:"I am going to the Three Persons, with whom I have had communion...My bow abides in strength. Is Christ divided? No, I have the whole of His righteousness; I am found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but the righteousness which is of God, which is by faith of Jesus Christ, who loved me, and gave Himself for me. Christ cannot love me better than He doth. I think I cannot love Christ better than I do; I am swallowed up in God...Now I shall be ever with the Lord."The author's aim in this book is to show through Scripture that in all His heavenly majesty, Christ is not now aloof from believers and unconcerned, but has the strongest affections for them. Two things in particular stir His compassion for us: our afflictions, and our sins.PART 1: OUTWARD DEMONSTRATIONS OF THE TENDERNESS OF CHRIST'S HEART TOWARD SINNERSThis discourse lays open the heart of Christ, as He now is in heaven, sitting at God's right hand and interceding for us; how it is affected and graciously disposed towards sinners on earth that do come to Him; how willing to receive them; how ready to entertain them; how tender to pity them in all their infirmities, both sins and miseries. The scope and use whereof will be this, to hearten and encourage believers to come more boldly unto the throne of grace, unto such a Saviour and High Priest, when they shall know how sweetly and tenderly His heart, though He is now in His glory, is inclined towards them...His heart, in respect of pity and compassion, remains the same as it was on earth. He intercedes there with the same heart He did here below. He is as meek, as gentle, as easy to be entreated, as tender in His affections.OUTWARD DEMONSTRATIONS OF CHRIST'S TENDER HEART IN HIS LAST FAREWELL TO HIS DISCIPLES(John 13:1-5) "Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end...Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God, got up from supper and laid aside His garments; and taking at towel, He girded Himself. Then He poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded."What was most upon Christ's heart the night before He died? Not the glory that was to be restored to Him by the Father, but those who were "His own." He "loved them to the end", which means, forever. And to show them the type of love He would continue to have for them after ascending to His Father, Jesus washed their feet. He would continue to serve them after He went back to the Father. Jesus must ascend to the Father so He can "prepare a place" among the "many dwelling places" in His Father's house (John 14:2). After He prepares a place for every believer, He assures us that He will come back "to receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also" (John 14:3). Hebrews 10:37 says, "For yet in a very little while, He who is coming will come, and will not delay." "He who is coming will come" implies a vehemency of desire to come, an urgency, an intensity. And He will not stay a moment longer in heaven than He needs to in order to prepare a room for every saint, that He may entertain them all at once together, and have them all about Him."I will not leave you as orphans" (John 14:18). Jesus must also go away in order to send them the Comforter (Helper), the Holy Spirit. "For if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you" (John 16:7). "He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you" (John 16:14). Therefore, by having "the Spirit who is from God" we are said to "have the mind of Christ" (I Corinthians 2:12,16). But will the Spirit ever leave us as Christ left the earth? No. "I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever" (John 14:12).Jesus spoke of the works He would do for His disciples in answer to their prayers after He returns to the Father. "Up until now your have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full" (John 16:24). "If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it" (John 14:14). "If you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you" (John 16:23). Christ Himself will pray to His Father on our behalf. He expresses this by using the contrary wording, "And I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf" (John 16:26) when this is the chief work that Christ does in heaven, "since He always lives to make intercession for them" (Hebrews 7:25).In John 17, Jesus prays to His Father not "on behalf of the world, but for those whom You have given Me. For they are Yours" (v.9) and "I have been glorified in them" (v.10) and "they have made My joy full" (v.13) and therefore "I desire that they be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me" (v.24).DEMONSTRATIONS OF CHRIST'S TENDERNESS AFTER HIS RESURRECTIONJesus' disciples abandoned Him in the garden of Gethsemane. They slept when He had asked them to pray, and they fled when He was arrested. Peter denied knowing Him three times. After He died, they questioned whether or not He was the Messiah. "We were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel" (Luke 24:21). After all this rejection, Christ's first words after His resurrection were "Go to My brethren and say to them, 'I ascend to My Father and Your Father, and My God and your God" (John 20:17). He was not ashamed to call them brethren (Hebrews 2:11). He does not say a word about their rejection of Him. He calls His Father, their Father. The very first thing He says to them that evening is "Peace be with you" (John 20:19). And then He breathes on them to give them the Holy Spirit (v.22).DEMONSTRATIONS OF CHRIST'S TENDERNESS AFTER HIS ASCENSIONAfter Jesus ascended to His Father, He poured forth the Holy Spirit upon His disciples (Acts 2:4,33) as He told them He would (John 16:7; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8). All those miracles and conversion of sinners in answer to the Apostles' prayers are evidence of the Spirit's work (Acts 2:43), as Christ had promised them that they would do "greater works" than He had done (John 14:12). When we pray, it is the Spirit who "intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words" (Romans 8:26).In Revelation 22:16,17 the Spirit and the bride say, 'Come.' And let the one who hears say, 'Come.' And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost". The bride is the church on earth. It calls upon Christ to come. The Spirit also calls upon Christ to come. But Christ calls to the church to come to Him. What does this mean? It is as if Christ is saying, "I have a heart to come down to you, but I must stay here until all that the Father has given Me (the elect) come to Me. Then you will have Me with you" (John 6:39).Jesus says that He is "coming quickly" (Revelation 22:20). To us, the last two-thousand years do not seem "quick." But God measures time differently than we do, for "with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day" (2 Peter 3:8). And 2 Peter 3:9 explains why Christ has not yet returned to earth. "The Lord is not slow about His promise [of His coming, v.4], as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance." So from Christ's perspective, waiting until all the elect have put their faith in Him seems like just a few days.PART 2: INTERNAL DEMONSTRATIONS OF CHRIST'S TENDER HEART TOWARD SINNERS"For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin" (Hebrews 4:15). "Sympathize" (sunpatheo) means to "to suffer with." Christ said He had come to do His Father's will; and "this is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day" (John 6:39). The Father commanded Jesus to lay down His life for His sheep (John 10:17,18), and the Father loved Him for doing so. Then the Father commanded Jesus to take up His life again (the Resurrection) . It was also Jesus' nature to want to die for us. "No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative."While on earth, Jesus said, "I am gentle and humble in heart" (Matthew 11:28). He is still that way in heaven. Paul told the Philippians , "God is my witness, how greatly I long after you in the bowels of Jesus Christ" (1:8). "Bowels" are a metaphor to signify tender and motherly affections and mercies, as "the tender mercy of our God" (Luke 1:78). So then the meaning is, "As the affections of Jesus Christ do yearn for you, so do I [Paul]."JESUS AND THE HOLY SPIRITWhy, at the baptism of Jesus and the beginning of His public ministry, did the Holy Spirit appear in the form of a dove (Mark 1:10; John 1:32)? A dove is innocent and meek, without gall, without talons, having no fierceness in it, expressing nothing but love and friendship to its mate, mourning over it in its distresses. As the Holy Ghost did descend upon Christ, filling His heart as sweetly as doves do converse with doves, sympathizing and mourning over each other, so we may be with Christ, for he thus sympathizes with us. After being filled with the Holy Spirit, the Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness for forty days and nights of temptation (Luke 4). Then the first sermon Jesus preached began with the Holy Spirit and was from Isaiah 61:1, "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the afflicted; he has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners." The purpose for Jesus' anointing by the Holy Spirit was to heal us and set us free from sin.A BRUISED REED HE WILL NOT BREAKMatthew 12:18-21 quotes Isaiah 42:1-3. "Behold, My Servant, whom I uphold; My chosen One in whom My soul delights. I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the nations. He will not cry out or raise His voice, nor make His voice heard in the street. A bruised reed He will not break and a dimly burning wick He will not extinguish." Isaiah says the Messiah will be full of meekness, stillness, calmness, and modesty, without violence or boisterousness. Christ went so tenderly to work, He was so heedful to broken souls, and had such regard to their discouragements, that He would not "break a bruised reed"; that is, He would step so as not to tread on a reed that was broken in the leaf. He would walk so lightly or softly, that if it lay in His way, He would not have further bruised it. He also did not "extinguish a dimly burning wick" with any rushing motion that would have raised so much wind as to blow out a wick of a candle. All this expresses the tenderness of His heart.Now though Christ is in heaven, yet His people are His family still ("His own who were in the world" John 13:1). There are two things that we think would make Christ neglect sinners: His holiness, and His glory. Yet Isaiah 63:15, referring to Christ, says, "Look down from heaven and see from Your holy and glorious habitation." This shows that, even though we are sinners, God does not neglect His people while He is in His holy and glorious heavenly habitation.God is the founder of all relations and all the affections that accompany them. Shall not He who put all these affections into fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, husbands, and wives, have these own affections in Himself, and in much fuller measure? Thus, in Song of Solomon He calls us (the church) His sister and spouse (5:1). In Ephesians 5, Christ is made the pattern for husbands loving their wives: "Husbands love your wives, just as Christ loved the church" (5:25). This is referred to as a "mystery" in verse 32 because Christ's love for the church is so great that any husband's love for his wife is but a mere shadow of Christ's love. God's love for us is greater than a nursing mother's love for her child. "Can a woman forget her nursing child and have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget but I will not forget you. Behold I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are continually before Me" (Isaiah 49:15,16).In heaven, Christ continues to be our High Priest. It is an office established solely for procuring grace and mercy (Hebrews 4:16). The only qualification of a high priest was that he have "compassion" (Hebrews 5:2), one who "can be touched with the feelings of our infirmities" (Hebrews 2:15). The Greek word for "compassion" in 5:2 is μετριοπαθειν. It means "to have compassion according to the measure of one's distress." The high priest in the Old Testament offered sacrifice for both sins that were unintentionally committed out of "ignorance" (Leviticus 4:2,5) and sins that were intentionally committed (Leviticus 6:2,3, 6). He did so out of μετριοπαθειν, "pity according to measure" of the person's sin and distress. So Christ has compassion on us according to the measure of our sin and distress. Our misery can never exceed His mercy. Jesus continues as our High Priest for ever (Hebrews 7:24). The throne He sits on, at the right-hand of His Father, is a throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16), and He will sit there forever (Hebrews 1:8).Christ's human nature in heaven has a double capacity of glory, happiness, and delight. First, He forever enjoys communion and fellowship with the Father and the Holy Spirit in the Godhead. "In God's presence is fullness of joy, in His right hand are pleasures forever" (Psalm 16:11). In Ephesians 1, Paul had spoken the highest things of Christ's personal advancement in heaven that could be uttered, as of His "sitting down at God's right hand, far above all principalities and powers" (v. 20,21). Yet Paul adds this: "and gave Him as head over all things the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all" (v. 22,23). So that even though He is personally so full with the Godhead dwelling in Him, yet He is pleased to account His church, and the salvation of it, to be another fullness unto Him, super-added to the former. As Son of God He is complete, but as head of the church he has an additional fullness of joy from the good and happiness of His members.This joy arises from filling His members with all mercy, grace, comfort, and felicity, Himself becoming more full by filling them. So as when their sins are pardoned, their hearts more sanctified, and their spirits comforted, then He comes to see the fruit of His labor, and He is more glorified by it, yea, He is much more pleased and rejoices in this than themselves can be. And this must needs keep up in His heart His care and love unto His children here below, to water and refresh them every moment. Isaiah 27:3 says, "I, the Lord, am its keeper [a vineyard]. I water it every moment. So that no one will damage it, I guard it night and day." In Psalm 45, Christ is set forth as Solomon in all his royalty and majesty. Verse 11 says He "greatly desires the beauty" of His queen, that is, Christ desires the beauty of His bride, the saints, "that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she should be holy and blameless" (Ephesians 5:27).Hebrews 2:14 and17 say, "Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same..."Therefore, He had to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful High Priest." This union of both natures, God and man, was projected by God to make up the rarest compound of grace and mercy that could ever have been. Christ assimilates the largeness of mercy from the Deity, and makes them human mercies, so that God does now in as kindly and natural a way pity us, who are flesh of His flesh, and bone of His bone, as a man pities a man, and encourages us to come to Him, and be familiar with God, and ask Him for grace and mercy, as a man would do with a man; as knowing that in that Man Christ Jesus, God dwells and His mercies work in and through His heart in a human way. Christ's human nature, after once He had assumed it, is to continue forever united to Him, that God might forever said to be compassionate as a man.PART 3: CHRIST'S AFFECTIONATE COMPASSION FOR SINNERS IN THEIR INFIRMITIESDuring Christ's time on earth, God prepared for Him all sorts of afflictions and miseries to run through, which we ourselves do meet. All that time He was acquainted with all the like sorrows that we are. God led Him to take that infirmity and tenderness of spirit, to take in all distresses as deeply as any of us (without sin), and to exercise the very same affections under all these distresses that we at any time do find stirring in our hearts. The writer of Hebrews tells us the reason for this: "For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted" (Hebrews 2:18).Living in this world as we do, Christ has forever fitted His heart by experience to be in our hearts and bosoms. "For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin" (Hebrews 4:15). He sympathizes with us right now while He is seated at the right hand of the Father in all His glory. While on earth, Christ was tempted in all the ways we are tempted, yet He did not sin after those temptations. His heart was so affected, wounded, pierced, and distressed in all the same things we are affected by. He took to heart all that befell Him as deeply as might be. He slighted no cross, either from God or men, but felt the utmost load of it. He truly became a "man of sorrows" (Isaiah 53:3). Yet, His heart became more tender in all the same affections that we have. Christ's always remembers what His experience on earth was like, so He always knows what it is like for us now. Just as God told the Israelites to "not oppress a stranger, since you yourselves know the feelings of a stranger, for you also were strangers in the land of Egpyt" (Exodus 23:9). So Christ knows the hearts of us when we are in misery, as He Himself once suffered the same things as we do.It becomes Christ, in His state of heavenly glory, to have human affections of pity and compassion so as to quicken and provoke Him to our help and succor. Not to make Him a Man of sorrows again, but such as should make Him a Man of succors unto us, which is His office. If His state of glory had been wholly ordained for His own personal happiness, then indeed there would be no use for such affections. But since His relation to us is one ingredient of His glory, they are most proper for him. "The love of Christ surpasses knowledge" (Eph 3:19). It has not been diminished by His going to heaven.In all miseries and distresses, you may be sure to know where to have a friend to help and pity you, even in heaven, Christ. One whose nature, office, interest, relation, all, do engage Him to your succor. You will find men, even friends, to be oftentimes unto you unreasonable, and their affections in many cases shut up toward you. Well, say to them, if you will not pity me, I know One that will, One is heaven, whose heart is touched with the feeling of all my infirmities, and I will go and bemoan myself to Him. "Come boldly", says Heb 4:16, even with open mouth, to lay open your complaints, and you will find grace and mercy to help in time of need.

Many times I wish I had lived back during the days of the great saints and preachers. The wisdom that flows from the writings and preaching of these saints is beyond compare. We have a few of those today of which I am deeply thankful but I am extremely grateful that these old writings are available to us today. Thomas Goodwin writes about the tenderness of Christ as it is shown outwardly, internally, and lastly of Christ's compassion for those in their infirmities. The pages are loaded with truth and therefore takes time to assimilate. It is a small book but packed with insight and wisdom.In describing Christ's outward love for us, Goodwin writes, (and I will paraphrase a quote here since it is written in old English): (Christ came and) "...all melodious sweetness was in His ministry and spirit; ...in the course of His ministry, He went so tenderly to work, He was so attentive to broken souls and had such regard to their discouragement that it is said He would not break a bruised reed. Iow, He would set His steps with such care as not to tread on a reed that was already broken in the leaf. He would walk so lightly or softly that if it lay in His way, though He went over it, He would not have bruised it further nor quenched it as one might when blowing out the wick of a candle...' " In short, Christ is not sitting in Glory removed from our pain. Rather, He is acutely aware of everything we experience, all of our pain and brokenness and feels complete, utter tenderness toward us.Though written in old English this small book is still understandable but because it is loaded with truth and not written in modern English it is not a quick read.Apart from Christ alone, I could sit at Goodwin's feet listening for hours.

MEM, by Bethany C. Morrow

Review

"With her dizzying concept, richly imagined narrator, ornate setting, and first-rate storytelling, Morrow offers an epiphany for readers of speculative fiction with echoes of ideas explored in films like Blade Runner and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The defiant story of an impossible enigma who only yearns to be a real girl." —Kirkus Reviews"Morrow’s debut is ambitious and insightful, raising questions about memory, trauma, and humanity. The novel is at its best when it presents Elsie at her most human, forcing the real ones around her to reckon with what her personhood means for theirs." —Publishers Weekly

Review

"An extraordinary and utterly compelling novel that deftly explores questions of memory, identity, and humanity while also introducing one of my favourite characters in a long time. I loved everything about MEM." ―Kelly Link, author of Get in Trouble “The moment I opened Bethany C. Morrow’s thrilling and unsettling MEM, I could not stop turning the pages. Dolores Extract #1―a "Mem"―defies the rules of her world in a harrowing quest for autonomy and understanding. Her journey generates a deeply powerful inquiry into memory, trauma, ownership, and freedom―into the very essence of what it means to be human. This gorgeously written novel is one of the most enthralling and original debuts I’ve read in years.” ―Laura van den Berg, author of Find Me"In the world of Bethany C. Morrow's imaginative and gloriously written first novel, MEM, a memory might have a life of her own. This novel imagines an alternate past where memories can be extracted and turned to flesh, a premise that unfolds with intrigue and wisdom from this writer's fertile imagination. Don't miss this exciting debut that will change the way you think about memories." ―Tananarive Due, American Book Award and British Fantasy Award winner “MEM is a mind bending exploration of what it means to be human. In this tight, gripping novel doctors have the ability to extract people's traumatic memories. These memories become people, sort of... Or maybe not. And what happens to the people who abuse the procedure? How do our memories shape our lives? MEM is a great read, especially for those interested in the ethics and strange reality of how new technologies impact the human condition.”-Chris Morrow, Northshire Bookstore (Manchester Center, VT)“Staged in an alternate possibility of the last century, MEM is the story of what could happen if we found a way to remove our bad memories and store them in a surrogate. Of course these surrogates would be kept in a vault and only brought out for special occasions, maybe to impress your friends at a cocktail party. But what if one of them – let’s call her Dolores Extract #1 – did not conform to the “rules” of the process. What if instead of only having one memory to live out over and over and over again, like a bad dream, waiting to waste away to nothing and then die, she was discovered to be able to make her own new memories. What then? Well, she might be removed from the vault and allowed to live a life, of sorts, under the watchful eye of the program’s staff. This is a searing tale of consequences. Of unexpected results to a science some might think has gone off the rails. But it’s also an insightful look into what makes us who we are and what happens when we can dispose of parts of ourselves we no longer want around to haunt us. I guarantee this is a book that will dig its way into your own memories and may well keep you up at night with thoughts you just can’t turn off. What a page-turner!”-Linda Bond, Auntie’s Bookstore (Spokane, WA)

This was profoundly beautiful!!! 😍😍😍A historical speculative fiction novel set in Montreal in the early 1900s. Dolores Extract #1 is a Mem who's been created by the memory of 19 year old girl named Dolores. At once they realize that Dolore Extract #1 is unique in comparison to other mems.There are times when the line between what she is remembering from her past is blurred with the present, which can makes things bit confusing. I feel this was used by the author to mimic the stream of consciousness that so often allows our past memories to be woven into our present experience. So as confusing as it sometimes is, it was done with regard to showing the realness of our main character.This is a story about what it means to be human, and how our memories create this resonance of emotion that cannot just be wiped away by forgetting.It was so short though, and while it was fittingly short, I wish for just a bit more as this book has left me with a craving

I'm giving this book three stars because of its imaginative premise that memories can take on a life of their own. However, the story never really gets off the ground. The writer's purpose in setting the action in the 1920s remains mysterious to me; the setting plays no real part in the development and creates a distance that's exacerbated by the overblown prose ("Had they not already evaporated in the still air, my words would have turned tail and hurried back to me"), characters who come across as actors in a period melodrama, and a superschmaltz ending cribbed from Dr Who. A shame, because the idea has real potential.

What experiences make us who we are? And who do we become if we remove the memories of those experiences? For those who are concerned this is another take of "eternal sunshine of the spotless mind" fear not. This take on the process of removing old memories delves into who we are as a society, who we are as people, and who we are to others outside that society, all with the backdrop of the glittering 1920s and 30s. It's a stunning feat to explore societal failings and personal triumphs and morals so explicitly within so short a novel, and to do it with prose that never feels rushed. Indeed, though the page count is shorter, this novel allows the reader to breathe with the memories, rather than rushed and crammed together. I don't want to give any spoilers away so I'll leave my review at that. This was a delightful find, and I'm so glad I picked it up on a whim. It's a memory I certainly want to preserve.

This is a cool, thought provoking sci-fi. I tend to read before I go to sleep, and I wish I'd read this book when my mind was fresh and alert. Need to reread to catch all of the nuance I missed. This reminded me of a historical fiction episode of Black Mirror. It's not a long book, but it is packed full and not as fast of a read as I expected it to be. Can't wait to see more from this author.

It was a short book but as other reviewers said, it raises many important questions about memories, trauma and compartmentalization. While the stream-of-consciousness style narrative may be hard for some to follow, it all comes together in a beautiful and satisfying end.

A wonderful example of urban sci-fi. Mem asks the question “just because we can do something, should we?”

I loved this book and its unique voice. I can't wait for more from this author!

MEM is a contemplative speculative novel about 'memory extraction' in the early 20th century Montreal. In turns, I found this novel about how the rich and wealthy rid themselves of disturbing memories by having them removed into replicas called 'Mems' an intriguing concept, a thought piece on how our memories shape us. The evocative setting of Montreal at the turn of the last century, an island in the middle of technological revolution gone slightly awry, helped make the novel strange and wonderful-- as did the main character Dolores/Elsie a 'Mem,' who is the one Mem more than her memory. I do wish that there were more commentary on race and class (this author even addresses the lack of it in an end note -- it's clearly not the novel she wanted to write). Morrow has written a slim novel filled with some big ideas of how memory shapes us, even makes us strong, and certainly, makes us human

_Two Trains Running_ is the August Wilson "Century Series" play depicting the African-American experience in the 1960s. In a 1969 Pittsburgh diner, 6 men and a woman share vignettes about their lives and the "American Dream." Memphis, the owner of the diner, is about to have the city seize the restaurant under "immenent domain." Sterling, (who will play a significant role in Radio Golf) has just been released from prison and is enamored with the Black Power movement. West, the community's mortitian and Wolf, a number runner, are the wealthiest men in the Hill District. As these characters relate their lives, Wilson shows how the American Dream has been promised, and for so many, been denied.Memphis is frustrated and angry: he was run off his farm in Mississippi (with an allusion to The Piano Lesson (The August Wilson Century Cycle)), and now faces being run off of his business in Pittsburgh. Hambone, a homless (and possibly mentally ill) customer has similarly been cheated. Reflecting on the American Dream, Halloway says, "People kill me talking about (African-Americans) is lazy. (African-Americans) is the most hardworking people in the world. Worked three hundered years for free. And didn't take no lunch hour. Now all of a sudden (African-Americans) is lazy. Don't know how to work. All of a sudden when they got to pay (African-Americans), ain't no work for him to do."Wilson, however, asks us to consider whether the "American Dream" is merely about making money - both Wolf and West have made their money by exploiting and taking advantage of others, seeking to pull themselves up at the expense of their community. Sterling pays a visit to Mama Esther at 1839 Wylie (an allusion to Gem of the Ocean, where Mama Esther will "make you right") and is indeed made right, forgoing money in favor of love. This is reiterated by Holloway who tells the audience, "That's all you got. You got love and you got death. Death will find you ... it's up to you to find love. That's where most people fall down at. Death got room for everybody. Love pick and choose. ... most people won't admit that. ... Love got a price to it. Everybody don't want to pay. They put it on credit. Time it come due they got it on credit somewhere else."I was profoundly moved by _Two Trains Running_ - a reference to the fact that in life, there are always choices, always two trains running in different directions. Wilson, as with his other plays, poses profound questions about who we are as a nation, about the African-American experience, and that experience in the broader context of being an American. Here, however, he asks us to reconsider what choices we've made and what our values as individuals are. As if his other work hadn't already made him an American classic, _Two Trains Running_ certainly would. As with his other work, if you have an opportunity to see it performed, do not miss it.

August Wilson proved that genius is never complicated, always simple and clear, and hugely enjoyable. His characters are always alive and their speech poetic. The ending could not be better. He was a poet writing plays. I loved the man. What a shame he did not love to write more! Great loss!

I like the flow of the characters and the storyline.

I was going to Ashland to see this play and wanted to read it first. It's not my "cup of tea". The after-play discussion was fabulous at decoding the nuances of this play.

This is a well-written drama. I love Wilson's effortless use of colorful colloquial ebonics.

I really liked it.

I have read 3 of his plays and I'm excited about his works.

Great play; may have opportunity to direct next year.

I can't say enough about these books. They are sturdy, just the right size and much like reading your old comic books.

Nothing beats these classic Comics by Carl Barks. His work is phenomenal for anything Donald Duck. Highly recommend!

Good reproduction of great stories.

Classic, not much more to say about this.

I grew up with peanut butter stains on my large kitchen table Carl Barks (hardback) edition. What I did not realize was that this WONDERFUL collection had in some degree of racism. I would be attentive is sharing this with children to point out that MEXICANS do not all talk funny, look terrible and sleep most of the day. I would also question a few other things ... BUT I WOULD NOT STOP SHARING TO THE NEXT GENERATION the cartoons; ...

This is simply great work. If it can inspire Geoge Lucas, it can inspire you.
