Extractions: Cliffs notes for confession Share with a friend! printable version J ust north of Columbia, S.C., there is an unincorporated community called Mitford. As far as author Jan Karon knows, this is the only place in North America that bears the name of the mythical North Carolina mountain town she has made so famous with her novels. The real Mitford has a Baptist church and a barbecue joint and that's about it. "Now what more do you need, I mean, if you really stop and think about it?", asked Karon, before letting loose with a Southern hoot and a cackle. Yes indeed, all that the Mitford lady needs to tell most of her tales is a busy church, a gossipy diner and the people who frequent one or the other or both. She has taken these humble ingredients, slipped them into the structures of the British "village novel" and created a franchise that keeps taking small-town virtues into the uppity territory of the New York Times bestseller lists. "Who would want to read books with no cussing', no murder, no mayhem and no sex? ... How can something so innocuous as these Mitford books sell 10 million copies?", asked Karon, speaking at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Mich., just before the release of "In This Mountain," the seventh Mitford novel. "This is what I think. I think there was a wide vein of readers out there who were just waiting for someone to write a book about them, about their dreams and their lives and their values. ... With Mitford, we look at the ordinary lives and see something extraordinary and dramatic and full of feeling and worthy to be observed."

Extractions: Mitford Appreciation Society The Mitford Appreciation Society has met at Once Upon a Time bookshop in Montrose since June 12, 1997. The society coalesced around a core of devoted Jan Karon readers spearheaded by shop employee, Charlotte Hollingsworth; journalist Mary Herczog and bookshop owner, Jane Humphrey. It remains a devoted but informal group that meets to celebrate the spirit of Mitford, caring for each other and taking on projects that would do Jan Karon's characters proud. A semiannual contribution of $10.00 per person defrays costs of mailing, stationery, printing and copying, etc. Any surplus funds are used to support the society's service projects such as supplying local school libraries with books. The principal membership benefit is associating with people who share and cherish the values of Mitford. Jan Karon Titles by

Extractions: been the joie de vivre she brought to a gloomy American left. By ALEXANDER COCKBURN Photograph by Ed Kashi ECCA MITFORD, taken off the stage at the age of 78 by cancer, had a voice so confident in its intonations that it vanquished furtiveness and shame like a thresher going through a field of wheat. A friend of mine once went to a session on censorship at a concert hall in San Francisco. The place was stuffed with righteous folk of correct disposition, many of them taking the position that porn prompted men to acts of darkness, and that maybe some fine-tuning of the First Amendment would be no bad thing. Explaining that the fine-tuning might not be in the hands of thoughtful persons such as those mustered in the concert hall but of nastier types like J. Helms and E. Meese, Decca started discussing the porn films she had been watching with her husband, Bob Truehaft, as part of her researches into filth. There had, she said, been "a man with a most enormous penis, perched on a motorbike with a woman. I said to Bob, 'That looks frightfully dangerous.'" Then she started raising questions about working conditions in the porn industry, industrial comp and other important aspects of the situation. The way Decca bugled out the word "penis," entered it triumphantly into the concert hall after the adjectival build-up of "enormous" in her plummy tones, changed the entire mood of the gathering. "Penis" lost the furtive, indeed shameful connotation with which it had become burdened in that oh-so-correct concert hall. Ennobled by her imperious tongue, it was amply endowed with a sort of bluff heartiness just like the hunting parsons Decca must have seen in her aristocratic youth. "Mornin' Miss Mitford!" "And a jolly good morning to you, Mr. P."

Extractions: Full Review Recently, a friend gave me the first in the series of books entitled, "The Mitford Years". While reading the synopsis on the rear cover, I wondered if she'd lost her mind. While I enjoy fiction, the bulk of my interests in this genre fall mainly with historical fiction set in the American West. The summary of this book spoke of an elderly Episcopalian Priest, his large dog, their foibles in the small town of Mitford and an orphan boy set in contemporary, small-town America. Rather than hurt a friend's feelings, I delved into the book and fell in love!

Extractions: The Mitford Books Series November 30, 1999 Page 2 of 5 Do you already have ideas for another series after Mitford? Jan Karon: No. I may write another series, but that idea doesn't presently compel me. I'd like to write a novel about a man and a woman in their 60's who've never been anywhere or done anything, except work and sit in their Barca-loungers. She decides she wants to have an adventure, and so they borrow their friend's RV and head for Disney World. Another book that I am very excited about is a novel about the building of a great mid-Eighteenth Century Georgian manor house in Virginia. I've always found architecture exciting and would like to explore this realm with an historical perspective. MelbaT: Do you feel that any specific character in your books is your kindred spirit/other half? Jan Karon: In truth, I feel an exceptional closeness to every one of my characters. While many readers think I'm Cynthia, I am equally Miss Rose, Esther Bolick, Dooley Barlowe, and Father Tim. MsRead: I love the chapter in ALITW made up of Tim and Cynthia's letters to each other. What inspired you to use letters for a chapter?

Extractions: Carlos Eire's Waiting for Snow in Havana recalls the joys and troubles of an interrupted childhood in 1950s Cuba(By Sven Birkerts) -Midway through ''Waiting for Snow in Havana,'' his lyrical memoir of growing up in the 1950s in pre-Castro Cuba, Carlos Eire confides his intense childhood longing for all things northern Nordic climes, Nordic asceticism. ''Greater tolerance for pain,'' he writes, ''greater valor, and no lizards on top of it.'' Lizards, for Eire, are symbols for the bitter indignities of his home latitudes, ubiquitous reminders of chaos. Over the course of the book, Eire and his friends slaughter hundreds of the little reptiles, and still they proliferate, tokens of nature's cruel fecundity, the heartless momentum at the core of creation.

The Book Beat It's easy to feel at home in Mitford. In these high, green hills, the air is pure, the village is charming, and the people are generally lovable. Yet, Father Tim, the bachelor rector, wants something more. Enter a dog the size of a sofa who moves in and won't go away. Add an attractive neighbor who begins wearing a path through the hedge. Now, stir in a lovable but unloved boy, a mystifying jewel theft, and a secret that's sixty years old. Suddenly, Father Tim gets more than he bargained for. And readers get a rich comedy about ordinary people and their ordinary lives.
