And I was deeply pleased with both options. That feeling of being on the verge of something important and unknown and that certainty that what you say and do in the moment matters a great deal…Īs for my fortune, she said that I would be a teacher or a nurse when I grew up. I was a lot younger then than Ephraim and Micah are in this story, but I tried to capture that same sense of wonder when I was writing scenes between them and the Lightbender. I still remember how momentous it felt, to have a mysteriously-dressed adult paying attention to everything I said and examining my palm. I had never met a fortune teller, or any kind of magician, and I took the whole experience very seriously. It was nighttime, and after the hay ride and pancakes we visited the fortune teller. I didn’t really think Circus Mirandus was a diesel fuel and funnel cake kind of place, so it became “grass and smoke and chocolate cake” in the book.Īnd my earliest carnival memory took place at a different, much tinier Fall Festival. In my memory, it smells like grass, diesel fuel motors, and funnel cake. We always went at night, and I kept finding myself automatically setting all the circus scenes at night, even when it didn’t make any sense. And I was also influenced by my memories of the local fair that my parents took me to see every year when I was little. I spent a lot of time daydreaming about all the things I would like to have at a magic circus.

View of Valley from Mountain, "Canyon de Chelly" National Monument, Arizona. “The Passage of Power” is the fourth of what is now planned to be five volumes of Caro’s biography “The Years of Lyndon Johnson” - an astonishing and unprecedented in-depth look at the life of a public figure and his era, passionately researched and written, a work of great literature, among the best non-fiction works ever.Ĭaro has been working on LBJ since 1974, and originally, he did not envision the need for “The Passage of Power.”Īs initially laid out, “The Years of Lyndon Johnson” was to comprise three volumes - one on his rise from poverty in the Hill Country of Texas a second about his years in the U.S. Instead, he has made his case, brick by brick by brick, slowly, inexorably, pulling together many disparate stories involving sometimes world-jarring events, and laying them out in great detail and with great insight. And it is a word that, up until this moment in the book, Caro has avoided using. It is a word that has rarely, if ever, been used in American discourse about LBJ. On the final page of “The Passage of Power,” Robert Caro sums up the 604 pages that have come before with a single word.

A man is excited or irritated, and another man seeing him comes to a similar state of mind. To take the simplest example one man laughs, and another who hears becomes merry or a man weeps, and another who hears feels sorrow. The activity of art is based on the fact that a man, receiving through his sense of hearing or sight another man's expression of feeling, is capable of experiencing the emotion which moved the man who expressed it. " Every work of art causes the receiver to enter into a certain kind of relationship both with him who produced, or is producing, the art, and with all those who, simultaneously, previously, or subsequently, receive the same artistic impression. What do you think Tolstoy means by defining art in this way? Use a piece of music, art work, to explain what you think he means. Viewing it in this way we cannot fail to observe that art is one of the means of intercourse between man and man." "In order correctly to define art, it is necessary, first of all, to cease to consider it as a means to pleasure and to consider it as one of the conditions of human life. Dramatic, heartbreaking and surprising, this is a story about the love between a man and a woman and between a parent and a child. But just as his life seems to be settling into a blissful pattern, an unsettling and mysterious message re-opens old wounds and sets off a chain of events that will forever change the course of this young couple's marriage. Now, Jeremy is living in the tiny town of Boone Creek, North Carolina, married to Lexie Darnell, the love of his life, and anticipating the birth of their daughter. There are a few things Jeremy Marsh was sure he'd never do: he'd never leave New York City never give his heart away again after barely surviving one failed marriage and, most of all, never become a parent. In this #1 New York Times bestselling follow-up to True Believer, a young couple's love faces the ultimate test when the past disrupts the life and family they've built together. And especially Evie, without her prodding I'd have never attempted a story like this. They are my spirit animals! Without them, I'd have thrown in the towel and none of this would have happened. To my BB girls, Jenn, Kristyn, and Evie, who countless times have restored my soul and talked me off ledges. Without his encouragement and support, my career would not be possible, and every hero I write is a side of him. I dedicate this book to my husband, who has believed in me from the very start.
