  • March 29,2000 GET A LIFE wnraN CAMUNIAN 15 Book Review Streetwalkers and Sawbones in 'The Dress Lodger' by Virginia Culp Staff Writer One thing is certain: Sheri Holman has a knack for inventing memorable characters. Her novel The Dress Lodger, set in nineteenth-century England during the beginning of the cholera morbus epidemic, includes a suspicious, ignorant landlord, a little girl who thinks she is a ferret, a slightly unbalanced doctor, a miraculous baby, an old woman who thinks of everyone around her as rats, and—last but not least—Gustine, a fifteen year old prostitute in a blue dress. It is these last two with whom the story is primarily concerned. The practice of "dress lodging"—dressing a low-class streetwalker in fancy clothes to attract a more affluent clientele—necessitates two people: a pretty, appealing girl to wear the dress, and a guard to be sure she does not steal it. In this case, the guard is a malevolent old woman with one eye who follows Gustine constantly and, as long as she is in the dress, watches her every move. And I do mean every move. She does not interfere when a customer hurts the girl; she does not help when Gustine is in trouble. She just watches. Holman's description of this old woman is enough to make one's skin crawl. "Nothing about her, from her slightly hunched back to her hairy ape arms, would distinguish her from any other old woman in the East End—until you looked into her slack-skinned turnip-colored face. ...You would see that the shadow has an Eye. Not eyes, mind you, but an Eye: a single gray carbuncle that has, over the years, siphoned from her other four senses, every bit of potency, redirected the diffuse sensations of sound and touch and even smell straight forward into a single supreme ability; into an Eye so aware, so magnified, it never tires, needs no sleep, misses nothing." It is this creature who dogs Gustine through the streets, watching the dress. The other major player in this drama is Henry Chiver, a young doctor implicated in the Burke and Hare killings (the episode in Edinburgh in which beggars and prostitutes were murdered by two doctors in order to provide dissecting cadavers for their medical students) who is attempting to start a new life. However, he, like his teachers, faces the problem of where to obtain specimens for medical study. His solution is only slightly less gruesome: with Gustine's help, he steals bodies of drowned sailors and cholera victims, burying their remains in his backyard once he has finished them. For the sake of your stomach, I wi with ll not go into Chiver's idiosyncrasies— they are generally nauseating. Suffice to say that he develops an obsession with Gustine's 4-month old baby: a medical miracle with an almost entirely exposed heart. The fact that this story is told from the point of view of at least five people—including a corpse— makes this a slightly confusing novel. Add to that the metafiction that Holman sporadically employs, and there are times when the reader is so busy deciphering the story from among the authorial interjections and the shifting points of view that reading becomes more of a chore than a pleasure. There are no clear heroes or villains in this novel; as in life, the characters all have condemning and redeeming qualities. As the cholera creeps closer to the main characters, infecting those they love and those they hate, their instincts come uppermost, proving their true worth. The story overall is compelling and original; the writing style just takes getting used to. Sheri Holman has also written A Stolen Tongue, which was published in nine countries. The Dress Lodger is available at City Lights Bookstore in Sylva. V. COMING SOON March 31 - April 6 The Relic The Big Hit Ordinary People Harvey Hercules WCU CAMPUS MOVIES CHANNEL 75 Children's Book Review Music in the Midst of Mayhem by Virginia Culp Staff Writer Although I usually don't re view children's literature, The Cello of Mr. O, by Jane Cutler, prompted me to broaden my scope. With mesmerizing watercolor illustrations by Greg Couch, this is a book that could teach all of us, young and old, a new way of looking at the world. Set in a war-torn country, The Cello of Mr. O is narrated by a little girl whose father is away fighting, whose village is under attack, and whose nights are scarred by the flash of exploding shells. Her simple acceptance of the situation is interwoven with fear for her father and resentment for the restricted life she must live, but her fascination with Mr. O, her upstairs neighbor, and specifically with the beautiful cello he plays, overrides all else. The illustrations in this book can almost tell the story by themselves, and the ones in which Mr. O plays his cello are truly amazing. The visual depiction of the music rising from his bow is at once fanciful and realistic; if we could see the sound, it might very well look like this. Unlike some artists, who seem to feel that children either do not deserve or cannot appreciate real art, Couch gives his young audience the benefit of delicately drawn scenes, powerful because of their very simplicity. Add to that a story with a message that inspires without preaching, and you've got all the pieces of a classic. If you've ever wondered how to tell a child about what happens during war—not in battle, but in the beleaguered villages that no one hears about until they are demolished—The Cello of Mr. O may be able to help. Jane Cutler has also written Spaceman, Mr. Carey's Garden, and Darcy and Gran Don't Like Babies. Greg Couch has illustrated The Windigo's Return: A Northern Woods Story, The First Palm Trees, and Moonball. The Cello of Mr. O is available at City Lights Bookstore.
