But most critics regard it as contrived and awkward, beneath such Steinbeck standards as "Of Mice and Men" and "The Grapes of Wrath Winfrey acknowledged that "East of Eden" is a long way from the typical "Oprah" pick Steinbeck's publisher, Penguin Group USA, has ordered a new printing of 600,000 for a book that usually sells 40,000-50,000 copies a year " Steinbeck worked for years on "East of Eden," a best seller when first published in 1952 "And when I said, 'Do you care?' They said, 'No He could only do the Madonna or the whore Since founding her club in 1996, she has often highlighted sympathetic women characters, choosing such books as Jacquelyn Mitchard's "Deep End of the Ocean" and Toni Morrison's "Sula " Winfrey agreed that she was "put off" by Cathy but says that she couldn't stop reading When you read something that's good and juicy and it's called literature, then you're not closed to the idea of it He didn't have much middle ground She revealed in February that she would be starting her picks again and focusing on older authors " Winfrey said she wants to avoid the "self-imposed box" in which she found herself: the fewer expectations the better " But novels rarely come as manly as Steinbeck's epic, biblically influenced story about rival brothers Oprah Revives Book Club With Steinbeck Jun 18, 5:18 PM EST Oprah Winfrey was sitting under an oak tree in California last summer, reading John Steinbeck's "East of Eden" and loving it, when she realized that just telling a few friends about it wouldn't do " "The portrayal of women in the book is rather shockingly misogynistic by today's standards," said Steinbeck biographer Jay Parini , when she read the novel "There are some who would argue that this (`East of Eden') is not really a `classic' "You can see right through her and it gives you a little sense of superiority because you can't believe the other characters don't see through her "I just want to read great books without it becoming controversial com within hours of her announcement And Winfrey thinks women will love the book, if only to root against Cathy The main female character, Cathy, is a ruthless prostitute of whom the author writes, "I believe there are monsters born in the world " In a segment filmed Monday and aired on Wednesday's show, Winfrey personally delivered boxes of "East of Eden" to Anderson's Bookshop in the Chicago suburb of Naperville " Parini agreed that the novel is far from perfect, but called it a "magnificent failure" and praised it as "quite readable "There's always a problem with women in Steinbeck's books " The revived book club means more good news for the publishing industry, which is already anticipating Saturday's debut of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix "It's not like Shakespeare, or even Faulkner; it's reader friendly," she said She will focus on authors of the past, but doesn't rule out living ones and I realized that that was a conversation that would come up over and over again," said Winfrey, who was vacationing in Santa Barbara, Calif Blechman said that when the segment aired, the store's phones began to ring from people who wanted to order the book â€â€? simply on Winfrey's recommendation "East of Eden" jumped to No Winfrey had suspended her club in April 2002 because she didn't have enough time to keep up monthly selections She will not make monthly picks, but three to five choices a year '" â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? Associated Press writer Don Babwin contributed to this story "I wanted to lead people down this path without them thinking they're back in school "When I said, 'Do you know what it is?' They said, 'No,'" Blechman recalled And after first wanting to call her revived club "Traveling With the Classics," she settled for "Oprah's Book Club," just as it was called before By midmorning Wednesday, 20 copies from Winfrey had been purchased, along with 50 more the store had ordered, said Doris Blechman, the assistant manager "She's a woman you love to hate," Winfrey said The Winfrey touch is apparently undiminished 14 on Amazon "I was literally halfway through `East of Eden' and thought, `Gee, I wish I had a book club again,'" Winfrey told The Associated Press Wednesday in a telephone interview from Chicago, shortly after announcing on her TV talk show that Steinbeck's novel was her first pick after a 14-month hiatus " Winfrey thinks "East of Eden" is a great way to get people interested in older books His homies back in the Bronx are none too thrilled with the changes they see in Victor His opinion of himself: "Young, Latino and good-looking Some material may be inappropriate for young children Of course, none of this works out the way Victor planned We never have to wonder what his character, South Bronx heroin dealer Victor Rosa, is thinking or feeling because he tells us in great detail PG â€â€? Parental guidance suggested NC-17 â€â€? No one under 17 admitted "You'll be back â€â€? everything you are is in this neighborhood," one warns him in the obvious foreshadowing that's rampant in Reyes' script Running time: 95 minutes In the end, it's all just a bombastic rip-off of every other drug dealer/gangster movie you've seen before Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian R â€â€? Restricted " First-time writer-director Franc Reyes tries to present Victor's story as a cautionary tale â€â€? if you're already a millionaire drug dealer, don't get greedy! â€â€? but he doesn't try very hard He betrays the people who trusted him, then is betrayed by the people he thought he could trust Victor's supplier, known as "La Colombiana," also isn't happy about his desire to go straight, and demands that he make some money for her on Wall Street first " His predicament toward the end: "I had nowhere to turn and no one to help me At the Movies: 'Empire' Dec 4, 10:26 AM EST "Empire" could be a book on tape: It's essentially an extended voiceover by John Leguizamo, punctuated periodically by spurts of gunfire All ages admitted "Empire," a Universal Pictures release, is rated R for strong violence, pervasive language, drug content and some sexuality â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? Motion Picture Association of America rating definitions: G â€â€? General audiences " His formative childhood experience: "I was always alone, always had to prove myself Victor is the most powerful drug dealer in his neighborhood, likening his entrepreneurial prowess to Rockefeller and Carnegie PG-13 â€â€? Special parental guidance strongly suggested for children under 13 Victor and Jack realize they're not so different, despite their backgrounds and businesses Jack provides some investment advice, and in no time Victor has doubled his money and moved with Carmen into a cavernous SoHo loft with closets full of Armani suits This is a surprise and a disappointment, considering the movie is the first from Arenas Entertainment, a branch of Universal Pictures that aims to tailor films to Hispanic audiences One and a half stars out of four " His business strategy: "I cut mine the least because I believe in purity As the stylish queenpin, Isabella Rossellini brings more weight and charisma to the role than the movie deserves But he wants to go legit, especially after his girlfriend, Carmen (Delilah Cotto, a lovely source of warmth), tells him she's pregnant Besides telling rather than showing, he populates "Empire" with trash-talking, pistol-packing Hispanic stereotypes He reluctantly attends an upscale party given by Trish (Denise Richards, also lovely but vapid as usual), a college friend of Carmen's, and strikes up a friendship with Trish's investment banker boyfriend, Jack (Peter Sarsgaard) Some material may not be suitable for children |
