Extractions: ane Smiley turned fifty just in time for the new millennium. She lives in California with her three children, three dogs, and her sixteen (and counting) horses. Born in Los Angeles, California, Jane moved to the suburbs of St. Louis, Missouri, as an infant, and lived there through grammar school and high school (The John Burroughs School).

Who's Happiest in Horse Heaven, jane smiley or the Horses? Dave Weich, Powells.com janesmiley visited Powell's City of Books on February 27, 2001.
http://www.powells.com/authors/smiley.html

Extractions: Dave Weich , Powells.com The answer depends entirely on which horse you're talking about. In Horse Heaven , we meet horses bound for glory and others who suffer an endless succession of days locked in filthy stalls, neglected by their owners. Smiley takes us to the backside of Belmont and Hollywood Park, to breeding farms, veterinary hospitals, and auction houses where owners bid small (and not so small) fortunes on the prospects of young, untested, but immaculately bred fillies and colts. We wake up with trainers at five a.m. to be at the barn by six and take our morning walk past the stalls. We sleep in late in Paris and laze around in bed, contemplating acquisition. We run hard among brilliant twelve hundred pound beasts. In 1992

http://www.seasonsaudiobooks.com/smileyjane.html

Extractions: Her new novel, set in the 1850s, speaks to us in a splendidly quirky voicethe strong, wry, no-nonsense voice of Lidie Harkness of Quincy, Illinois, a young woman of courage, good sense, and good heart. It carries us into an America so violently torn apart by the question of slavery that it makes our current political battlegrounds seem a peaceable kingdom. Spanning two years on the circuit, from Kentucky and California to New York and Paris, Horse Heaven puts us among trainers and track brats, horse-obsessed girls, nervy jockeys, billionaire owners and restless wives. Here is the trainer of dazzling integrity and his opposite: a wicked prince of the tract, headed for still another swindle; here are the gamblers and hangers-on. And in an amazing feat of imagination, here are the magnificent Thoroughbreds themselves, from the filly orphaned at birth to the brown horse who always wins by a nose, a lovable "claimer" who passes from owner to owner on a heartwrenching journey down from the winner's circle.

Literature Annotations. smiley, jane G. A Thousand Acres. Genre, Novel (371 pp.).
http://endeavor.med.nyu.edu/lit-med/lit-med-db/webdocs/webdescrips/smiley115-des

Extractions: A Thousand Acres Genre Novel (371 pp.) Keywords Cancer Child Abuse Children Family Relationships ... Trauma Summary Smiley's novel, King Lear (see King Lear in this database) with a shocking twist, portrays the enduring violence of incest to body and spirit. The narrative voice describes her familya wealthy farmer and his three daughters. Family relationships are explored, especially the hidden roots that shape and define behaviors and conflicts, some lasting a lifetime. The disclosure of a horribly dark secret explains the personalities of the three daughters and, for two, their metaphoric afflictions (infertility and breast cancer). Smiley's novel is layered with rich complexities, but none more powerful and astonishing than the core event, the sexual victimization of two vulnerable teenage girls who, as the story unfolds, are permanently scarred. Through a reinterpretation of Lear, Smiley demonstrates the cost of this hideous form of male domination and female victimization. Commentary This novel won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award.

http://www.theatlantic.com/unbound/bookauth/ba980528.htm

Extractions: I n a controversial Harper's essay titled "Say It Ain't So, Huck" (January 1996), Jane Smiley argued, in part, that "to invest The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn with 'greatness' is to underwrite a very simplistic and evasive theory of what racism is." With the recent release of Smiley's latest novel, The All-True Travels and Adventures of Lidie Newton, it now seems clear that when Smiley wrote that article she was working through her own ideas of how one should treat race in fiction. A picaresque novel set in "Bloody Kansas" in the 1850s, when the territory was torn by violence over whether it should be admitted to the Union as a free state, Lidie Newton follows the escapades of its tomboy narrator as she experiences the extremes of opinion and the moral grey areas surrounding slavery.

http://www.famouscreativewomen.com/one/1246.htm

Extractions: As soon as you bring up money, I notice, conversation gets sociological, then political, then moral. In my experience, there is only one motivation, and that is desire. No reasons or principle contain it or stand against it. Your sons weren't made to like you. That's what grandchildren are for. My characters never die screaming in rage. They attempt to pull themselves back together and go on. And that's basically a conservative view of life.

Extractions: Take a wild ride with Jane Smiley's spirited new heroine INTERVIEW BY ELLEN KANNER Jane Smiley doesn't do autobiography. You won't find her in Ginny, the narrator of her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, A Thousand Acres, or in any of the ensemble cast of her wicked academic satire, Moo. "I don't write to investigate my own life or sensibility," says the tall, elegant author. "I write more to investigate the world." Specifically, Smiley investigates America, both its inner and outer landscapes, and never more so than with her new novel
