Music in the MountainsThe Beav plays host to autumn celebration

A call came into The Herald Journal recently from a woman requesting that the next time I take photographs of the Wells-ville Mountains that I include something of Mendon Peak.

Although I didn’t talk to the person directly, I have to assume that it was the same person who passed along a simi-lar message to me a couple of years back after I published some photos of the Wells-villes in Cache Valley Magazine. I’m not sure what brought on this most recent

request since it’s been over a month since the last Cache Valley Magazine came out, but when I was out shooting on a recent autumn morning, I decided to make an effort to focus on the northern end of the Wellsville Mountains, where Mendon Peak sits high above the valley floor.

I have to admit, since the Wellsville’s highest points — 9,372-foot Box Elder Peak and 9,356 Wellsville Cone — are at the southern end of the range, they usually get a little more attention. At 8,766 feet, Mendon Peak is the third-highest point overall, but the tallest spot at the northern end of the Wellsville Mountains.

I’m not sure if the photograph above is

what the woman, who I have to assume is from Mendon, was looking for, but at least the fall colors on the slopes below Mendon Peak are in full splendor.

On an unrelated note, I also received an e-mail from a helpful reader point-ing out that in last week’s issue (Sept. 21), I failed to include a caption for the cover photo, which featured Top of Utah Entertainment’s production of “Les Mis-erables: School Edition.”

I apologize for the oversight, and I want to point out that our cover girl — perform-ing in the role of Euphrasie “Cosette” Fauchelevant — was Elli Johns.

Finding the time to write

By Jeff HunterCache Magazine editor

Officially published in June, Shaunda Kennedy Wenger points out that she actually wrote her latest book, “Reality Bites: Tales of a Half-Vampire,” years ago. How long ago exactly? “Before Stephenie Mey-er’s books came out,” she declares with a huge laugh, referencing the author of the extraordinarily popular

“Twilight” series. “I was finishing mine right when her first book came out,” Wenger contin-ues. “When I saw it, I was like, That’s a really cool black cover with a red apple. What’s that book about?” Because of the subse-quent explosion of all-things-vampire, Wenger’s agent at the time suggested that she shelve “Reality Bites: Tales of a Half-Vam-pire” for a while. “That didn’t work so well because there have been a zillion-and-one vampire books put out between now and then,” Wenger notes. A native of New Hamp-shire who first moved to Cache Valley in 1991, Wenger ended up self pub-lishing “Reality Bites: Tales of a Half-Vampire” when a couple of publishers decided against it at the last minute. She subsequently

ALL MIXED UPJerry Joseph opens his ‘Happy Book’

For more than 30 years, Jerry Joseph has been strapping on a guitar and chasing down truth, under-standing and soul with a tenacity and resonant skill that mark him as a hard charging kindred spirit to Joe Strummer, Warren Zevon and Patti Smith.

While not a house-hold name or critic’s darling, Joseph is the archetypal musician’s musician, something resoundingly clear on his sweeping new double album, “Happy Book.” Captured with muscle and blood by Joseph’s longtime trio the Jackmormons, this latest chapter in his long, strange journey flows like glowing quicksilver through the modern psyche, where war and disaster wrestle with hope and faith and sometimes the best option is to

sashay down to the local disco to mambo with the chicks just to remind one’s self that you’re never too old or too dead to learn a couple new tricks.

“Happy Book” (released March 20 on Response Records) presents the Jackmormons at their most diverse and con-fident, a record with a wide swing that dexter-ously moves from whisper closeness to Technicolor expansiveness. Many of the songs on Happy Book were written in Mexico right after Joseph’s father passed away, but then left wide-open so the band could be part of the writ-ing process, producing an emotional and sonic wal-lop fueled by the tightest,

tastiest playing Joseph (guitar, lead vocals), JR Ruppel (bass, backing vocals) and Steve Drizos (drums, backing vocals) have ever captured in the studio.

“The reason I play in

this band, the reason I go through what I go through to be in this band, is there’s always a point when we’re onstage that I think, Man, if there’s a better three-piece rock band in America I don’t

know who they are,” Joseph says.

“It doesn’t happen all the time, but when it does it’s a reminder that this is an once-in-a-lifetime band. After 17 years, this album brings together a

lot of things I’ve always wanted on a record. I’ve wanted to make a double record since I was a kid. This sounds like a band that’s been together 17 years and evolved along the way.”

our presenter wish list for over four seasons so we are thrilled to finally be show-casing their works on our stage,” said Wally Bloss,

Executive Director for the Cache Valley Center for the Arts. “Dance is not always for everyone, but we think this is a night you will enjoy. A BodyVox show is witty and theatrical, making it widely entertaining.”

winning films, 18 evening-length shows and three operas, featuring nearly 200 original dances. Based in Portland, Ore., BodyVox’s movement surges from a source informed by years of cross-training imbued with a curiosity and fascination with the endless possibilities of the human body in motion.

Moondog howls again

The Logan Tabernacle Concert and Lecture Series’ next concert is at 7 p.m. tonight and features six outstanding northern Utah organists. The concert is free and everyone is welcome.

Tyler Anderson is owner of Anderson Organ Works. He graduated from Utah State University with a specialized degree in organ performance and business administration. He has been organ-ist at St. John’s Episcopal Church and also plays for Latter-day Saint services.

Karla Axtell, pianist and organist, will perform a collection of organ pieces featuring brilliant keyboard works of Charles-Marie Widor, J.S. Bach, Johan Pachelbel, Robert Cundick and James Kasen. Karla has been a regular performer at the tabernacle for many years and is currently a rehearsal accompanist for the American Fes-tival Chorus directed by Dr. Craig Jessop. She has produced “Hymns of Faith,” LDS Hymn arrangements for piano and orchestra with Jay Richards, and two classical piano CDs: “Quiet Garden” and “Rhapsody.”

Brandon Clayton was raised in Durham, N.C., and began studying organ at the age of 8. While attending the North Carolina School of the Arts he was offered a scholarship to USU and moved to Cache Valley. Clayton has performed in the Logan and Salt Lake City LDS Tabernacles, the Assembly Hall on Temple Square and USU’s Kent Concert Hall at USU.

Jonathan Rose, a native of North Logan, began piano lessons at age seven and organ lessons at 11. He recently completed his degree in organ performance at Utah State University. A church organist for over 20 years, Jonathan has taught numerous courses on proper organ technique. Jonathan’s experience includes pipe organ main-tenance for the LDS Church and participation in the restoration of the Holtkamp pipe organ at USU’s Kent Concert Hall.

Kelvin Smith grew up in Salt Lake City, where he studied organ with Clay Christiansen. He received a master’s degree in 1992 from Brigham Young University in organ performance. While at BYU he sang with the concert choir under Mack Wilberg and was assistant director of the University Chorale. He is currently a guest organist at the Salt Lake LDS Tabernacle for the noon organ recital series.

Lynn W. Thomas is director of organ studies at USU’s Caine College of the Arts and is a uni-versity organist. He has lived in Cache Valley for over 50 years and been an organist for 45 of them.

USU Theatre Arts presents ‘Mauritius’

Organ music takes over tabernacle

Utah State University’s Theatre Arts Department opens the 2012-13 season with “Mauritius” at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 2, in the Black Box Theater, Room 224, of the Chase Fine Arts Center on the Logan campus.

The show focuses on a pair of half-sisters, Jackie and Mary, who are mourning their recently deceased mother. The siblings must decide what to do with a rare stamp collection that’s been left to them equally. Neither sib-ling truly knows the value of the stamp collection; however, there are three eager philatelists willing to help.

“‘Mauritius’ examines what causes people to behave badly,”

said Leslie Brott, the play’s direc-tor.

“This has been an interesting challenge for the students because the show requires the actors to develop an intimate relationship with the audience.”

The student designers are also working with the challenges of limited budget and space, said Brott. The students are tasked to create four distinct locations with-in a 24-foot-wide playing space of the Black Box Theatre to be used by five characters with extremely different backgrounds. All are brought together by two tiny slips of paper.

“The characters will do any-thing and everything to get what

they want, no matter who they have to bulldoze along the way,” said Gordon Dunn, a USU senior working on his bachelor of fine arts.

“Mauritius” runs Oct. 2-6 in the Black Box Theater. Tickets are $13 general admission, $10 seniors and youth, $8 USU fac-ulty and staff and free for USU students with valid ID. For more information and tickets visit the CCA Box Office in room 139-B in the Chase Fine Arts Center, 435-797-8022 or at the Caine Col-lege of the Arts website (arts.usu.edu).

This play contains strong lan-guage and is not recommended for children under the age of 13.

Utah State Universi-ty’s extensive collection of Jack London mate-rial is in the spotlight as part of a new exhibit presented by Univer-sity Libraries and its Special Collections and Archives Division.

The exhibit, “Jack London at Utah State University,” features items drawn from the Jack and Charmian London Correspon-dence and Papers Col-lection as well as the Jack London Book Collection, both housed at University Libraries’ Special Collections and Archives Division. The exhibit can be seen Oct. 5 through Dec. 15 at Merrill-Cazier Library

in the atrium and lower level. An associ-ated gallery talk is also planned.“Jack London at Utah

State University” show-cases a range of unique items from the collec-tion — a collection that is noted as among the largest holding of London materials in the country, second only to the Huntington Library in California. The exhibit focuses on material and informa-tion not widely known about London — his family, socialist politics, his relationship with fellow socialist Anna Strunsky and his pro-fessional relationship with fellow author Sin-

clair Lewis. Visitors can also see

a one-of-a-kind artist book, inspired by Lon-don, featuring Crater Lake in Oregon. High-lights from London’s

“Diary of a Tramp” and his Russo-Japanese war correspondent note-books round out the exhibit.

On the lower level of Merrill-Cazier Library in the Special Collec-tions reading room, visitors can view first editions of London’s works and see the vari-ous published formats of his work — comic books, videos, maga-zines, graphic novels and more. In addition to these formats, copies of

“Call of the Wild,” Lon-don’s most iconic work, are displayed in nine languages.

The formal opening and gallery talk for the exhibit are at 2:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 5, in Merrill-Cazier Library, Room 101.

Manuscript curator Clint Pumphrey of Uni-versity Libraries will pro-vide the gallery talk and

explain how Utah State University acquired the Jack and Charmian Lon-don correspondence and papers. He’ll also discuss some of the more inter-esting and unique items found in the collection.

The public is invited to the free gallery talk and join the participants of the Jack London Soci-ety’s 11th Biennial Sym-posium.

Sessions for the sym-posium are Oct. 3-6 in Logan. The Jack London Society is an internation-al non-profit organiza-tion that promotes study of the life and work of Jack London. A number of USU organizations, including University Libraries and the Depart-ment of English, are co-sponsors for the sym-posium.

‘Looper’ is a tasty time-travel thriller

“Looper” will draw you in with its gimmick. How can you say no to a movie that purports to be a time-travel movie and a hitman movie rolled into one? That’s an interest-ing premise for a movie, right? I agree. That’s why I was drawn to the movie in the first place. What’s so surprising about “Looper” is that it doesn’t need its gimmick to suc-ceed. Time travel and killers for hire provide the movie’s skeleton, but the real meat is in its intricate characters.

The movie begins in the year 2044 as Joseph Gordon-Levitt provides the requisite information we should know when trying to understand this dystopian future. Gordon-Levitt plays Joe. Joe is a killer for hire. He informs us that 40 years from now time travel will be invented and then sub-sequently outlawed. It’s too dangerous to have people going back in time and messing things up. Only outlawing the technology doesn’t stop it from falling in the wrong hands.

Joe tells us that the mob controls time travel in the future. They do so for one specific reason: killing.

Joe is what they call a “looper.” If the mob wants a target killed in the future, they capture them and send them back in time where a looper is waiting with a large gun in hand, ready to shoot. Loopers are paid in sil-ver bars. Sometimes a

AP Photo/Sony Pictures EntertainmentJoseph Gordon-Levitt, foreground, and Paul Dano in a scene from the film “Looper,” in theaters today.

looper is asked to “close their own loop,” which means that their future self is sent back for their past self to kill. This is apparently a normal thing. When this happens the looper is paid in gold

bars. Crazy time paradoxes

aside, this provides for instant suspense once Joe’s future self — played by Bruce Willis — is sent back so Joe’s past self can kill him. Past Joe fails

in killing Future Joe so the two set out on a life-or-death, cat-and-mouse chase.

Director/writer Rian Johnson has produced a dynamic time travel movie which ends up not being about time travel at all. That’s what makes

“Looper” so special. Both past and present Joes are deeply moving charac-ters. Past Joe feels lethar-gy towards life in gener-al. Killing strangers from the future every day is bound to make someone dead inside. Not to men-tion he’s a drug addict. Future Joe has already lived that life and has found true love. Love that was snatched away from him as soon as he

was sent back.In the middle of this

time-travel melee is a small family living in the middle of a corn field. Sara (Emily Blunt) is a tough-minded woman who is trying her hardest to care for her child in this unforgiving world. Once they’re introduced into the story you’ll forget all about time travel, hit-men, and anything else that made you want to see this movie.

See, “Looper” doesn’t rely solely on its gimmick to get it through its story. At one point, Future Joe says, “I don’t want to talk about time travel,” brushing it to the wayside without a second thought. Right there we learn that Johnson isn’t worried about answering the para-

doxes and dealing with the inherent questions that arise when some-one travels through time in a movie. He’s created a core group of richly interesting char-acters and a story that is wholly engaging on a multitude of levels.

Here is a movie that is about more than what it’s actually about. It’s a movie that steps above its genre’s usual tropes and provides an enriching and thrilling cinematic journey. It’s beautifully crafted and dynamically directed. It’s certainly a thinker type of movie. One that provides much more depth and insight than most of the summer blockbusters we saw this year.

The (ski) hills are alive with the sound of music

Diehard fans of local and regional music who went to Beaver Mountain Ski Area on Sept. 22 got to hear plenty of it as the resort hosted the 2012 Beaver Moun-tain Music Festival.

The event had a couple of new wrinkles in its third year. For starters, owner Ted Seeholzer made sure this year’s festival was an inside job. Joe Morales, who works at Beaver Mountain’s ski shop during the winter and on mountain main-tenance during the summer, added the feather of festival director to his cap.

“We did it two years with a promoter, then we took a year off because it just wasn’t panning out the way we hoped,” Morales explained. “And then this year we did it all in-house, and I was the orga-nizer of it.”

This year’s festival featured 11 bands, ranging from local one-woman bands Hilarilly (Hilary Murray) and Katie Jo (Katie Jo Nielsen) to combos like The Pretty Darns and The Dry Lake Band, and performances went from 10:30 a.m. to well past 10 p.m.

River Heights singer/songwriter Josh Johnson was also on the schedule, making his first appearance at the festival.

“This is my first time up here for this,” Johnson said. “I do primarily acoustic gui-tar, vocals, a little harmonica. ... About 80, 90 percent (of the music is) my own, and I throw a few covers in there from song-writers I like. ”

As one of the local performers playing Beaver Mountain this summer, Johnson appreciates the opportunity the festival provides to get his music out to a live audience.

“Venues are far and few between in Logan, it seems like,” he said. “We were just in Park City a few weeks ago, and up at the ski resort they have music every night, and we could do that. If the valley would just expand, go out a little bit, and support their local artisans, this could be

a fantastic place all summer long. It’s not that far from Logan.”

Johnson also found the process of get-ting into the festival lineup to be pretty much hassle free, partly due to his con-nections with other artists like Murray in the local music scene.

“Actually, Joe, the guy who set this up, is really good friends with Hilary, and I’m in a band with Hilary called Reckless Upris-ing,” Johnson said. “So she gave me Joe’s information, and I sent him some stuff — just trading phone numbers and stuff.”

It should be noted that Morales actually pulled extra duty at the festival, in addi-tion to being the event director. He played in two of the bands, Old Ephraim and the headlining act, Who’s Your Daddy. It’s not hard to imagine how Saturday’s event left him.

“Super tired!” Morales said. “It was awe-some. I think we were very successful.”

Morales estimated the day’s attendance at more than 300 people, an increase of about one third over the previous year. And he’s confident that the event will continue to grow in popularity with local music lovers.

“We are hoping that people will make this a permanent fixture in their summer schedule,” he said.

Helping those numbers this year were the additions of running and biking events. Billed as “Rock, Run & Ride,” those events included mountain-biking races for adults and children, an adult 10-kilometer run, and a kids’ 1-kilometer run, all orga-nized by Tom Emmett.

“Being the first, it kind of went off with-out hitch,” Emmett said of the event. “We had a few less people than we thought we would, but overall everybody was very pleased with the way it went, so I’m ecstatic. ... I wasn’t going for a LoToJa; I wasn’t going for a Top of Utah.”

Emmett explained that races were part

of a major thrust to broaden the appeal of the festival as a whole.

“Speaking with the Seeholzers, we want-ed to make it pretty family oriented, so we’re doing the kids’ 1K, as well, and the kids’ bike race,” he said. “So it seems like it’s worked out good.”

Emmett was particularly pleased with the turnout for the 10K, which he believes provides runners with a real challenge.“I kind of advertised it as Utah’s tough-

est 10K, because I’m pretty confident it is,” he said. “Usually 10Ks are just in the city and stuff. So it was definitely a tough climb and pretty hard. Our win-ning time was just over an hour, and

There is nothing worse than reformed sinners; fat people who become thin, smokers who quit cold turkey and politicians who repent. People who go from darkness to light are often too eager to share. People who make the reverse trip usually keep it to them-selves.

I don’t think I com-pletely understood this until I caused all conversation to stop in a room full of people when I said “I used to be an evan-gelical.” People’s lives are onions with a lot of layers and I didn’t think this one would give so many people literal pause. I don’t think it is because I am such a despot now, but rather you don’t hear much about people leaving charismatic churches.

I may have fallen from some higher ground but I only fell to the middle. In truth, I didn’t fall at all, I jumped. Statisticians refer to it as regression to the mean, but I prefer to think of it as balance. Did I escape from a cult, just come to my senses, or was I seduced by the Darth Vader dark side? It’s hard to say; I was living in the second notch of the Bible belt at the time.

Every community has elements of a cult. Sometimes monthly billing is just disguised as tithing. Even online activity has cultish attributes: there are secret passwords to get

in, shared lingo, symbols and regularly sched-uled meetings. Then if you ever try to leave or “unsubscribe,” the begging, badgering and guilt-tripping begins.

Vonage for instance would not let me cancel my Internet phone ser-vice online even though all the activity and pay-ments are electronic. They do this so you have to talk to a real person who can try to talk you out of it. I imagine them as former suicide hotline specialists trained to keep you on the phone until someone can get there to save you. After about 10 “no thank yous” to offers of cheaper ser-vice and assuring them that I could call 911 just as easily with my cell phone, they finally set me free. Still, after that there were weeks of e-mails and paper mails want-ing survey feedback and more pleas to return.

When it comes to reli-gion, I prefer the educa-tion model. You get your degree in whatever, and then you go out and do whatever. Your whatever-granting university does

not require you to come back every week to refresh your degree. Sure, they want you to be an ambassador for the insti-tution and make monetary alumni contributions, but how much is up to you in much the same way National Public Radio lets your conscious be your guide.

Maybe religion would be more attractive to peo-ple if they had a four- or six-year plan to teach you the guiding principles and then let you go out and live them with only the periodic magazine or fundraiser to remind you from whence you came. I am an alum of the Catho-lics, Lutherans and a couple different varieties of Baptists. There were also several unaffiliated variations of evangelical churches complete with faith healings, speaking in tongues and praying for parking spots. Yes, that last one was prob-ably one of the things that threw me over the edge. Though I like the idea of having a conversation with God, I think it’s trivializing the office to ask for a close-in park-ing spot when there is so much yet to be done on the world peace front.

I’m not sure about the roll up yonder, but the statistics are going to be seriously skewed if all the churches I belonged to are still counting me on their invoices.

MusicContinued from Page 9then we had some people com-ing in at 1:45, 1:50 I think. So there was kind of a broad range.

“It’s not the easiest for sure, it’s pretty hard, but everybody was pretty positive about it. I didn’t have anybody come up and say, ‘I didn’t like it; there’s no way I’m doing it next year.’ They’re all saying, ‘When are you doing it next year? I’ll be back.’”

Among those participating in the 10K were Providence resident Tim Wolford, his fam-ily, and employees of Wolford Collision Repair and Towing.

“We work together, so we

decided we’d come up and support Tom and his first effort at the 10K,” Wolford said.

“We’re grandfathered into this race now for our efforts.”

And for Wolford and his crew, the race served its pur-pose of drawing more people in to stay for the music.

“It’s a good place to start get-ting out, I’m telling you,” Wol-ford said. “You want to get up here after dark; that’s when the good times start happening.”

And that combination has sold the festival’s director on keeping the races going in future years.

“I’m pretty sure it’s going to be an annual thing,” Morales said.

WriteContinued from Page 3Colorado State Univer-sity. While in Fort Collins, Wenger was asked by a colleague to help write a field guide to Rocky Mountain National Park, and that project triggered a longtime desire to write. “I’ve always enjoyed reading and writing,” she says. “I grew up with my nose in a book. … With the field guide, I felt like I was finally going to get to do what I had always wanted to do, and that was write.” The field guide was never published, how-ever, because Wenger’s co-author, Jim Fergus, ended up getting side-tracked by writing what turned out to be a highly successful novel entitled

“One Thousand White Women.” Although Fergus encouraged her to finish the Rocky Mountain National Park project herself, she was too unfamiliar with the

publishing process to feel comfortable doing it. But soon afterwards, Wenger discovered the League of Utah Writers and started networking with other authors. That helped lead to the publi-cation of her first book:

“The Book Lover’s Cook-book.” Co-authored by another Cache Valley writer, Janet Kay Jensen, the cookbook, which is made up of recipes inspired by works of literature, was published by Ballantine Books in 2003. Wenger then “went the educational route” and wrote five books through the Benchmark Educa-tion Company and Rich-ard C. Owen Publishers entitled “Caterpillar Can’t Wait,” “Watch a Butterfly Grow,” “Farm Stand Mystery,” “In Black Bear Country” and “How Many Muf-fins?” She then self published

“Little Red Riding Hood: Into the Forest Again,” a chapter book for young readers, and in 2010,

“The Ghost in Me.” Like “Reality Bites: Tales of

a Half-Vampire,” “Ghost in Me” is geared towards readers between about eight and 14 years of age. “It’s a lot of work; it takes a lot of time to do everything yourself,” Wenger says of self pub-lishing her books. “You’ve got to learn how to net-work, and kind of figure out where the hot spots are online and where the readers are who will be interested in your books. “Then there’s finding the time to write on top of all of that.” Before Christmas, Wenger hopes to com-plete a cookbook based on her grandmother’s recipes, as well as another “frac-tured fairy tale” about the Three Little Pigs going on

vacation. Wenger’s books are currently available locally at Hastings, as well as online at websites like Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble in both paperback and e-book form. Although she says she personally prefers to read hard copies of books, Wenger says the e-books are easily her best sellers. “I was just thinking the other day that if it weren’t for the internet, there’s no way I could do this,” Wenger proclaims. “I never would have been able to make all of the connections and network like I have. The internet is just a great way of distrib-uting yourself.”

Account of Lincoln’s death is gripping

By Jeff AyersAssociated Press

Timothy L. O’Brien takes a harsh, fictional look at the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln and its after-math in “The Lincoln Conspiracy.”

A month after Lincoln was shot in Ford’s The-atre, the nation’s capital still resonates with trepi-dation. Police detective Temple McFadden ends up at the wrong place at the wrong time when he witnesses the murder of a man at a train station. Two books are strapped to his body, and Temple is able to obtain them before the man’s killers are able to do so. Temple soon realizes the books are dia-ries, two documents that together reveal the depth of “The Lincoln Conspir-acy.” He also realizes that people are willing to kill to get them back.

The grip of fear that engulfs a nation just emerging from the Civil War is palatable. Histori-cal figures that most read-ers will recognize appear throughout the narrative, creating a realistic tint to the tale. Temple’s wife, Fiona, has a background in medicine, but has dif-ficulty finding respect in a field dominated by men. And there’s rampant racism against the newly freed slaves.

All of these elements play out against a back-drop of secrets and con-spiracy. The history and

overall arc of the novel are superb. The thriller elements are a bit weak, but that’s a minor nit-pick. Readers will feel like they’re reading a non-fiction account of the events that occurred in 1865, and Temple McFadden proves to be a worthwhile hero.

“Freud’s Sister” by Goce SmilevskiGoce Smilevski’s

“Freud’s Sister,” winner of the 2010 European Union Prize for Lit-erature, imagines the life of Adolfina, one of Sigmund Freud’s four sisters who died in con-centration camps.

It begins with a scene in which she begs Freud, who was getting ready to escape Nazi-occupied Vienna and go to London, to get her and the other sisters out of Austria, too, but her desperate plea falls on deaf ears.

Did the founder of psychoanalysis abandon his elderly sisters in real life, too? According to

Peter Gay’s acclaimed 1988 biography, he did not. Freud gave them a substantial sum of money, and also asked a French princess to see if she could get them out of the country, maybe to Paris. The princess did her best, but failed to overcome the bureau-cratic obstacles.

Smilevski’s ficti-tious account of what happened gives the impression the book is a character assassination of Freud, but it certainly is not. Written from the point of view of Adol-fina, about whom almost nothing factual is known, it is the poignant story of a woman who lived and died in one of the worst periods of human history.

As a child, she is sickly, and her mother often tells her, “It would have been better if I had not given birth to you.” Once grown up, she has a love affair, but it ends in tragedy. When her mother declares her single and childless life “meaningless,” she checks into a psychiatric clinic “to escape reality.”

In Smilevski’s imagi-nation, Adolfina comes across as an erudite thinker, and her mus-ings about such things as madness, patriarchy, Judaism and Freud’s writings are a pleasure to read. There is great depth in this novel, and its poetic prose shines through even in this English translation.
