I'm on this one now and I can imagine that, were I to have a fourth in hand, it could get to be a bit much. Each work stands up well on its own. Probably best to read them in order so you have Master Li and Number Ten Ox in their first meeting rather than to come upon that later, but that aside I'll be content enough to let the pair ride off into the sunset after this novel, I think, satisfied with what they've given me but pleased, perhaps, that I've not been overstuffed.

Shelves: multi-culti , fantasy , male-lead , myth , fairy-tale , time-period-fantasy. Take a Shakespeare problem play, steep it in Chinese myth and add a dash of lethal mayhem and you might come close to approximating Eight Skilled Gentleman. They discover the rest of the victim in the Forbidden City, and after consulting with the sainted Celestial Master, are concerned the saint just confessed to the crime. But events turn out far weirder than Master Li suspects, and solving the crime will require investigating smugglers, traveling with a scarred puppeteer and his lovely shaman daughter, and tracking down mystical creatures and myths that are almost three thousand years old. Some of the old gods were sure to survive. There is outright silliness, particularly with the foodie to end all foodies literally , Sixth Degree Hosteler Tu, or the time that Master Li impersonates a grave ghoul. Hughart plays around more than ever with the narrative. In the beginning, Master Li shares letter from a reader accusing Number Ten Ox of purple prose no self-mocking there. Poetry is read. The tale of a weak noble is demonstrated, complete with a broom as sword. A play within a play is performed. Prophetic dreams as well as priapic ones are experienced. The narrative is far more complex than either of the other books. Most of the time it works—it turns out it is usually necessary to understand the plot—but sometimes not at well. When thinking about my review, I started over and re-read the entire book. Like experiencing Shakespeare again and again, each time through allows me to consider some different aspect, whether plot, emotion or lyricism. Overall, worth the time, clotted construction, inept imagery, mangled metaphors and all. View all 16 comments. Jun 24, Heidi The Reader rated it liked it Shelves: the-numinous-book-club , fiction , fantasy-and-sci-fi. I feel it missed the mark somewhat. Like the previous two books, it has some beautiful imagery and fanta "My experience with the old man has taught me to keep my mouth shut when the wrinkles around his eyes squeeze up in tight concentric circles, so I waited until his mind relaxed along with the wrinkles, and then he shook himself and turned toward me. Like the previous two books, it has some beautiful imagery and fantastical magic sequences based in an ancient fictional China of Barry Hughart, the author's, own creation. As usual, I liked the interactions between our two heroes. I also liked riding along while Master Li and Ox attempt to solve the murder mystery. You may have you break a few of the bastard's bones, my boy, but one way or another he's going to enable us to toss the rest of them in jail," the sage said grimly. Which seems like a harsh criticism, except those final scenes were my favorite of the book. If only it had felt more connected to the rest of the tale Like some of the other readers of this series, I noticed some repetition in Hughart's storytelling by the third book. Formulaic can still be brilliant, but I'm not certain this book reached that bar. There was also Hughart's unfortunate tendency to have his characters launch into song or prose within the story. This should have added to the immersive feeling of the reading experience, but I found myself skimming when I reached those sections. Again, it felt more repetitive this time around than magical. Adding to my disappointment, Eight Skilled Gentlemen was clearly supposed to be part of a longer series. The final few lines of the book offer no satisfying conclusion for characters whom I have come to love during the pages I spent with them. The little bit I have researched about the author seems to indicate Hughart had a disagreement with his publisher and then tired of writing it. He passed away in August of last year. It is incredibly sad because the books are so lovely and Hughart deserved the chance to finish them in a manner he saw fit. I think it's a loss not just for the author's family but for the entire fantasy-reading world. In conclusion, if you haven't read this series and like fantasy, you must give it a try. Just be aware it is a work of art with an abrupt end. Jul 15, Melissa McShane rated it it was amazing Shelves: own , favorites , fantasy , alternate-world , oriental-mythology. Much as I admire this book-- hence the five-star rating--it somehow leaves me uncomfortable. Maybe it's that a lot of people die who don't deserve to; maybe it's how often Li Kao and Number Ten Ox are betrayed. Possibly it's just that Master Li and Ox are constantly just seconds too late to prevent their mysterious adversary from collecting yet another artifact that could mean the destruction of the world. In any case, it's another vivid and intriguing story in Ox's histories. As with Bridge of Bi Much as I admire this book--hence the five-star rating--it somehow leaves me uncomfortable. In this case, the titular gentlemen are the Eight Immortals, legendary figures whose power can be transferred to tools that destroy evil. However, Hughart balances these immortals with eight creatures of evil, many of whom share traits with their good opposites. But "good" and "evil" aren't so easily defined, in this case; ultimately, the two octets represent yin and yang, and the evil is that the yang force has overwhelmed the yin, and that this imbalance is destructive to humanity. Despite this being a sort of fetch quest, I like Li Kao and Ox's efforts to work out what's going on and retrieve the bad guys' magic items. I also like that although this book, like The Story of the Stone , ends with the evil person being unmasked and punished, in this case the antagonist is sympathetic as well as evil. I've heard that Barry Hughart quit writing because he didn't think his books were being promoted well by his publisher. If that's true, it's practically a crime. I hope Hughart knows just how well-loved his books are, even twenty-five years after publication, and that his writing made a difference in fantasy literature. Oct 10, Jokoloyo rated it really liked it. The third novel of the series, and it is better than the second one. Don't get me wrong, all the novels are hilarious with exotic fictitious Ancient China setting. I just think, the ending of the first novel is still the best, it could made me highly emotional when read the last pages. OK, back to the third novel, Eight Skilled Gentleman. The beginning of the novel is actually the most ambitious of the series. The novel started on Capital City with vivid an The third novel of the series, and it is better than the second one. The novel started on Capital City with vivid and hilarious narration of the city life. Then the story begins. I won't spoil anything more for the plot. The old recipe from previous novels is still on this novel. Same good old taste: 4 Star from me. Mar 02, Roger Eschbacher rated it it was amazing. The third and sadly final book in Barry Hughart's superb "Bridge of Birds" series, "Eight Skilled Gentlemen" follows the adventures of Master Li and Number Ten Ox as they work on solving a new mystery involving mythical demons, corrupt officials, and a master puppeteer. Who or what is murdering high-ranking mandarins and stealing their prized ancient artifacts? Li and Ox set out to discover the answer and we are taken along for the exciting and humor-filled ride.

S. House. Though he had little chance to distinguish himself there, his experience proved a useful education in dealing with Congress and patronage. WASHINGTON, D.C. Arriving in Washington on December 2, 1847, the Lincolns found themselves in a “dark, narrow, unsightly” train depot, a building “literally buried in and surrounded with mud and filth of the most offensive kind.”1 A British traveler said he could scarcely imagine a “more miserable station.”2 Emerging from this “mere shed, of slight construction, designed for temporary use” which was considered “a disgrace” to the railroad company as well as “the city that tolerates it,”3 they beheld an “an ill-contrived, 1 Saturday Evening News (Washington), 14 August 1847. 2 Alexander MacKay, The Western World, or, Travels in the United States in 1846-47 (3 vols.; London: Richard Bentley, 1850), 1:162. 3 Letter by “Mercer,” n.d., Washington National Intelligencer, 16 November 1846.

Amidst humble origins in a two-story house outside of which Berry Gordy hung the sign, “Hitsville USA,” Motown encouraged America’s youth, urging them to look beyond racial divides and to simply sing and dance together in a time where the theme of unity was becoming increasingly important. Producing legends such as Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, The Four Tops, Martha Reeves, Gladys Knight, and the Jackson Five, Motown truly created a new sound for the youth of America and helped shape the 1960s. Competing with the “British Invasion” and “the Protest Movement,” in 1960s music, Motown is often said to have had little or no impact on the political and social revolution of the time because Motown did not produce “message 4 music.” The 2006 film, Dreamgirls even depicts Gordy and Motown as hypocrites and race traitors.
