Library Tidings by Kevin Mittge Book Review “The World Broke in Two” by Bill Goldstein Some years are understood as pivotal in history — 1492, 1776, 1865, 1968. In “The World Broke In Two,” author Bill Goldstein tells the captivat- ing story of 1922, a pivotal year in literary history, by weaving together the intellectual and personal journeys of four leg- endary writers: Virginia Woolf, T. S. Eliot, D. H. Lawrence and E. M. Forster. As 1922 begins, all four are at a loss for words, confronting an uncertain creative future de- spite success in the past. The lit- erary ground is shifting as “Ul- ysses” is published in February and Proust’s “In Search of Lost Time” begins to be published in England in the autumn. As dismal as their prospects seemed in January, by the end of the year Woolf has started “Mrs. Dalloway;” Forster has, for the first time in nearly a decade, return to work on the novel that will become “A Pas- sage to India;” Lawrence has written “Kangaroo,” his unjust- ly neglected and most autobi- ographical novel; and Eliot has finished — and published to ac- claim — “The Waste Land.” Friendships, in particular between Woolf and Forster, as well as rivalries and jealousies —including with James Joyce and the specter of his Ulysses — had a role in these writers’ renewed creativity that “The World Broke In Two” recounts in sparkling detail. Woolf, look- ing over her shoulder at her contemporaries in February 1922, wrote in her diary with a mix of admiration and awful surprise, “How these writers live in their works — How am- bition consumes them.” What Woolf, Eliot, Lawrence and Forster were struggling with that year was in fact the invention of modernism. Based on original research, “The World Broke in Two” captures both the literary breakthroughs and the intense personal dra- mas of these beloved writers as they strive for greatness. Upcoming Programs Mark your calendars for a couple of upcoming programs! First, Oregon author George Byron Wright will be at the li- brary on Saturday, Nov. 3, at 1 p.m., to discuss and read from his latest book “I Am Ned Pine.” Wright is the author of a number of other Oregon nov- els, including “Newport Blues,” “Driving to Vernonia,” “Rose- burg 1959,” “Tillamook 1952,” “Baker City 1948” and more. Wright was recently an exhib- itor at the Florence Festival of City Club celebrates 20 years Books and has been involved with Oregon literary events for many years. He also served as the interim director of the Coos Bay Museum. On a different note will be a presentation by Dr. James Brau of the University of Oregon, on Friday, Nov. 9, at 1 p.m., where he will discuss “Report on a Journey to the Beginning of Time.” Many of you may re- member Brau’s heavily attend- ed program last year as a lead- up to the lunar eclipse. Now he will discuss the activities of U of O physicists at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland. With that instru- ment the elusive Higgs boson was discovered. What is the Higgs boson? What role does it play in the universe today and in the Big Bang? These and other ques- tions will be addressed in this program which is targeted to the non-scientific, general pub- lic. The library is pleased to co-sponsor this program with the Adult Continuing Educa- tion Series at Lane Community College. The City Club of Florence celebrates its 20th anniversa- ry on Thursday, Oct. 18, from noon to 1 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Church.
