AMAZON STORE DRINK FICTION FOOD ... CONTRIBUTE BABEL TOWER , by A.S. Byatt by Kate McDonnell Buy the book Byatt Orchestrates a Babble of Voices in Latest Novel A.S. Byatt is most famous for her award-winning 1990 novel Possession , a literary puzzle in a high-comedy mode. It was playful, clever and yet rather hard. It also wasn't typical of her work till then, which had been more passionate and realistic. Byatt's most memorable earlier novels had been The Virgin in the Garden and Still Life . Both of these novels centered around a character called Frederica Potter. The intensity with which Byatt wrote about Frederica suggested she might be quasi-autobiographical, but I've never seen anything to confirm that. They were interesting books, but they wouldn't surprise you if you'd already read Murdoch, Lessing and Drabblein fact, Byatt is Margaret Drabble's half-sister and has written a major study of Iris Murdoch herself. Byatt's latest novel, Babel Tower , also stars Frederica, and is now declared to be volume 3 of a projected quartet of novels. That's not necessarily good news at the start of a long novel because you know the author has prepared an escape hatch in case of loose ends. As it turns out, the looseness in Babel Tower isn't of the does-the-plot-resolve nature. It's a little trickier than that, because this is a departure from the solidity of the earlier novels.

4. SALON Departments: Lit Chat: A.S. Byatt A brief excerpt of an interview with author A. S. byatt. http://www.salon1999.com/08/departments/litchat.html

E nglish novelist A.S. Byatt has been described as a "postmodern Victorian." Her novels include the bestseller "Possession" and "Angels and Insects," which was recently made into a movie by director Phillip Haas. In an interview sponsored by San Francisco's City Arts and Lecture Series, Byatt discussed "Angels and Insects," D.H. Lawrence, and the challenges of literary feminism. Tell us about writing "Angels and Insects." I began with a visual image. I wanted to write a story which combined my obsession with television naturalism with my obsession with Victorian gothic. I thought you could make a really beautiful film which compared an ant heap to a Victorian mansion. And in the middle of the ant heap there's this large fat white queen simply producing children. The question is: is she the power center, or is she the slave? It didn't have a plot for a long time it was just this metaphor, which is a very simple one but works. And it got bigger and bigger. I had this vision of all these slightly sexless female servants, scurrying along the corridors of the gothic mansion like the worker ants. I read a lot of books about ant heaps, and a lot of books about Victorian servant life. The pun on "insect" and "incest" only occurred to me very, very late on, as a way of dealing with the plot, though it is, of course, also the case with insects in an ant heap. But then I had this further metaphorical idea that there should be a man who wanted to marry a butterfly and found he'd married the queen of the ants by mistake. He was a Darwinian and a determinist, while her father was desperately clinging to Christianity, and a religious lord of the manor.

None of them can." Did you know? Though neither like to refer to the fact, novelist Margaret Drabble is Byatt's half-sister. Critical verdict Byatt has spoken of the weight of the past, and "the feeling, when you're a woman, that you start with one hand tied behind your back". Her precocious early work was heavily academic and allegorical, but her theme has always been the influence of art on life. After a hiatus, Possession won the Booker in 1990; she is a gifted literary mimic and combines pastiche with a rather tweedy staidness, leading to the tag "Victorian postmodernist".

10. SALON: A.S. Byatt By LAURA MILLER. AS byatt could be the patron saint of bookworms. Shedescribes her oftenbedridden child self as having been kept http://www.salon.com/weekly/interview960617.html

The author of "Possession" on the dark side of utopia, the chains of literary feminism and the albatross of sex By LAURA MILLER A.S. Byatt could be the patron saint of bookworms. She describes her often-bedridden child self as having been "kept alive by fictions" mostly the novels of Dickens, Austen and Scott. Among the first women admitted to Cambridge, she has always been a "greedy reader," who weaves her many interests biology, history, philosophy among them into her work. The results are novels with, as she has often stated, "the whole world in them," books that teem with characters and ideas, books in which reading and writing usually prove a matter of life, death and freedom. Already a formidable literary figure in England, Byatt achieved best-seller status in America with her 1990 novel, "Possession: A Romance," a compulsively readable story about a clandestine love affair between two Victorian writers and the two modern-day academics who unearth their secret. Her novella "Morpho Eugenia," in which she examines the similarities between anthills and 19th century manor households, was made into the film "Angels and Insects" last year. Byatt is currently touring the United States to promote "Babel Tower," the third novel in a series that follows Frederica Potter, a bookish, Cambridge-educated young woman like Byatt, through the volatile terrain of mid-20th century England. "Babel Tower" takes place in the 1960s, and concerns two trials: an obscenity prosecution against Frederica's employer (for publishing "Babbletower," an overripe fairy tale of a utopia gone bad) and the heroine's own battle for custody of her son. She spoke with Salon in San Francisco.

Babel Tower A.S. Byatt, Random House, 626 pages. A lthough A.S. Byatt's new novel is set in 1960s London and the action centers around two very modern trials a divorce/custody battle and an obscenity prosecution and although the characters read and argue about Kafka and D.H. Lawrence and the heroine is a woman struggling for independence, the heart of "Babel Tower" belongs to the 19th century. This is the sort of fat, serious, passionate book that George Eliot and Thomas Hardy wrote, a good read and an ambitious creation by an author who behaves as if James Joyce never existed and gets away with it. The novel begins as the fiercely bookish Frederica Reiver realizes she's made a terrible and irrevocable mistake. Stricken by the accidental death of her sister and dazzled by sex, she married Nigel, a rich, wolfish squire with whom she produced one beloved son, Leo. The marriage has degenerated into captivity and violence, and she flees for the city, Leo in tow, to resume her life as an intellectual surrounded by her Cambridge-educated friends. "I must work ," Frederica avers, landing a job with a publisher who, on her recommendation, puts out a book, "Babeltower: A Tale for the Children of Our Time," about an anything-goes utopian community where everything goes very, very bad. The hair-raising Sadean hijinks depicted by the book's author, Jude Mason, land both author and publisher in court.
