Resumen del Editor
Camp Chippewa, 1962. Nelson Doughty, age 13, social outcast and overachiever, is the bugler, sounding the reveille proudly each morning. Yet this particular summer marks the beginning of an uncertain and tenuous friendship with a popular boy named Jonathan.
Over the years Nelson, irrevocably scarred from the Vietnam War, becomes scoutmaster of Camp Chippewa while Jonathan marries, divorces, and turns his father's business into a highly profitable company. And when something unthinkable happens at a camp get-together with Nelson as scoutmaster and Jonathan's teenage grandson and daughter-in-law as campers, the aftermath demonstrates the depths - and the limits - of Nelson's selflessness and bravery.
The Hearts of Men is a sweeping, panoramic novel about the slippery definitions of good and evil, family and fidelity, the challenges and rewards of lifelong friendships, the bounds of morality - and redemption.

After trying to help Benjamin Pearl, an undernourished, nearly feral 11-year-old boy living in the Montana wilderness, social worker Pete Snow comes face-to-face with the boy's profoundly disturbed father, Jeremiah. With courage and caution, Pete slowly earns a measure of trust from this paranoid survivalist itching for a final conflict that will signal the coming End Times. But as Pete's own family spins out of control, Pearl's activities spark the full-blown interest of the FBI, putting Pete at the center of a massive manhunt from which no one will emerge unscathed.

Few authors write with such sheer love of story and language as T. C. Boyle, and that is nowhere more evident than in his inventive, wickedly funny, and always entertaining short stories. Here are 14 new tales previously unpublished in book form. By turns mythic and realistic, farcical and tragic, ironic and moving, Boyle's stories have mapped a wide range of human emotions. The stories here reflect his maturing themes.

Benjamin Benjamin has lost virtually everything - his wife, his family, his home, his livelihood. With few options, Ben enrolls in a night class called The Fundamentals of Caregiving taught in the basement of a local church. There Ben is instructed in the art of inserting catheters and avoiding liability and how to keep physical and emotional distance between client and provider. But when Ben is assigned to 19-year-old Trev, he discovers that the endless mnemonics and service plan checklists have done little to prepare him.

In 1943, LSD is synthesized in Basel. Two decades later, a coterie of grad students at Harvard are gradually drawn into the inner circle of renowned psychologist and psychedelic drug enthusiast Timothy Leary. Fitzhugh Loney, a psychology PhD student, and his wife, Joanie, become entranced by the drug’s possibilities such that their “research” becomes less a matter of clinical trials and academic papers and instead turns into a freewheeling exploration of mind expansion, group dynamics, and communal living.

Rabbit, Run is the book that established John Updike as one of the major American novelists of his - or any other - generation. Its hero is Harry “Rabbit” Angstrom, a onetime high-school basketball star who on an impulse deserts his wife and son. He is 26 years old, a man-child caught in a struggle between instinct and thought, self and society, sexual gratification and family duty - even, in a sense, human hard-heartedness, and divine Grace. Though his flight from home traces a zigzag of evasion, he holds to the faith that he is on the right path.

There's something eerily unsettling about Ottessa Moshfegh's stories, something almost dangerous, while also being delightful and even laugh-out-loud funny. Her characters are all unsteady on their feet in one way or another; they all yearn for connection and betterment, though each in very different ways, but they are often tripped up by their own baser impulses and existential insecurities.

In the years after World War II, the bleak yet beautiful plains of South Dakota still embody all the contradictions - the ruggedness and the promise - of the old frontier. This is a place where you can eat strawberries from wild vines, where lightning reveals a boundless horizon, where descendants of white settlers and native Indians continue to collide, and where, for most, there are limited options. René shares a home, a family, and a passion for dance with her older brother, Leon. Yet for all they have in common, their lives are on remarkably different paths.

In the years after World War II, the bleak yet beautiful plains of South Dakota still embody all the contradictions - the ruggedness and the promise - of the old frontier. This is a place where you can eat strawberries from wild vines, where lightning reveals a boundless horizon, where descendants of white settlers and native Indians continue to collide, and where, for most, there are limited options. René shares a home, a family, and a passion for dance with her older brother, Leon. Yet for all they have in common, their lives are on remarkably different paths.

Early on a grey November morning in 1941, only weeks after the German invasion, a small Ukrainian town is overrun by the SS. This new novel from the award-winning author of the Booker Prize short-listed The Dark Room tells of the three days that follow and the lives that are overturned in the process. As their stories mesh, each of Rachel Seiffert's characters comes to know the compromises demanded by survival, the oppressive power of fear, and the possibility of courage in the face of terror.

At a Berlin soirée in 1928, a photographer captures three very different women together in one frame: up-and-coming German actress Marlene Dietrich, who would wend her way into Hollywood as one of its lasting icons; Anna May Wong, the world's first Chinese American star, playing for bit parts while dreaming of breaking away from her father's modest laundry; and Leni Riefenstahl, whose work as a director of propaganda art films would first make her infamous. From this curious point of intersection, Delayed Rays of a Star lets loose the trajectories of these women's lives.

Tightly wrought unflashy character driven
In this Richard Fordesque novel, Nickolas Butler has given us a tightly woven, character driven novel, a novel that begins in 1962, takes an interlude in 1996, and then finishes in 2019. This is about heroism, family, friendship, love. The story may not be flashy or exciting but it is definitely very instructive, there is wisdom here. The narrative performance was decent as the baritone voice had trouble modulating multiple male voices, some which sounded like radio announcers.

Sad, but not hopeless
I almost stopped listening to this one in the opening chapters, because it was just so sad (I was aching for Nelson and his desire for friends ), and also during a truely awful scene between rival scout troops. So glad I stuck with it - credit the excellent narration and the good writing - because I really liked this character-based story.

Enjoyed the story but the narrator
The characters and story kept my interest; however, I did not care for the narration which was affected, forced and overly dramatic.

The heart is a lonely hunter
We’ve all experienced hard times. But never like these literary characters. It’s life in the first person.
A well woven and written narrative that will have you thanking the Higher Power for our indomitable spirit.

Relived my summers at Camp Napi in Montana!
I am an Eagle Scout (for the past 5 decades). This story broke my heart. I cried-I laughed-I thought of old friends-some alive-some long dead. But mainly I thought of those glorious summer weeks spent on St. Mary's Lake in NW Montana at CAMP NAPI as a young Boy Scout. Much of what the author expresses is darker than I recall it. But there is the heart of the truth in every bit of this story. I was especially touched by the description of the funeral scenes. I cannot tell you how many times I have stood at the coffins of the great men who were my Scout Leaders and wept for their passing. They were a truly rare breed and their kind will not pass this way again! I will listen to this story every summer for the rest of my life! If you were a Scout and spent time at a BSA summer Camp-I encourage you to listen to this story!

I cannot recommend this one
The story is quite contrived, and for various reasons just doesn't work very well. The men were mostly misogynistic pigs. Nelson comes off as a decent guy, but he is not a realistic character. The younger Trevor and even younger Thomas are portrayed as good male characters, but they are they only ones, and they are not drawn as human beings one would recognize. As an older white male, I know that there are quite a few men like those pictured in the story, but I did not grow up with and have not worked with such assholes, at least as far as I have been able to ascertain. In any event, I don't particularly want to read about the behavior of these kinds of guys. If this is intended to be a portrait of rotten male thinking and behavior, I can buy that, but it just isn't done very well. Although there are occasional bits of good writing, the writing overall is just not that good. I read this for my book club, and was so eager for it to end. Nikolas Butler may have written much better books than this, but I am unlikely to try them. And the narration does not help at all. The narrator might be able to do a single character well, but he struggles to perform the voice of multiple characters. His performance was quite affected and just not believable overall.

A Better Title would be "The Dark Hearts of Men"
I approached this novel expecting it to be a departure from the all-too-common contemporary fiction theme of men as brutish louts. That expectation arose from the title, the fact that Boy Scouting seemed to be the background framework of the plot, that the author is a man, and the descriptions and reviews of the book. While the book is a gripping story, or contains such within it, I found it a disappointing depiction of Boy Scouting and of boys and men in general. Most of the boys and men are people I would never want to know or be around; they fit the stereotype of male brutish louts who are also sex-obsessed, bullying, misogynistic and cowardly. However, I'm sure some will point out that there are some "points of light" in the story, some boys and men who stand out as exceptional, courageous, even heroic. So it seems--until and unless you take a closer look at them. The major character of the book is a bullied Boy Scout who has good character and eventually becomes the Scoutmaster of the camp. I suspect the author and some readers think he's a truly good man, but there is one very long scene where he condones and even seems to encourage the corruption of a young boy with alcohol and sex--even when the boy resists (at first). This very long, too detailed scene in the middle of the book really disappointed me and made me wonder about the author's view of what an exceptionally good-hearted man would do in such a situation. It colored my whole view of the one seemingly consistently good-hearted man in the whole story. The final portion of the novel is about a woman, a mother of a Boy Scout, who is made to feel unwelcome at her son's Boy Scout camp by the Scouts' fathers. I wondered how welcome a father would be at a Girl Scout camp. Well, I don't know, but it was a question that should at least have been brought up by someone in the very long argument in which she was made to feel more than unwelcome by the loutish, brutish, misogynistic, mouth-breathing fathers (without exception). Overall I rate this a potentially good story spoiled, for me, anyway, by the over riding theme of the dark hearts of boys and men.

Just a Bad book!
Would you try another book from Nickolas Butler and/or Adam Verner?
This no. The Narrator is fine.
What could Nickolas Butler have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
This author thinks that morality is passe. He mocks Scouting, fatherhood and any kind of moral code to live buy. He paints fathers with no morals, and telling there sons that " if it feels good do it" no matter what the consequences are.
Which character – as performed by Adam Verner – was your favorite?
Nelson
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
I feel sorry for that author, he must of have a bad childhood. He show disdain for anyone with morals. It "ok" to cheat on your spouse, have sex with prostitutes. And to tell your son that it ok to be selfish.

I really hated this book and the narration....
so contrived, predicable, melodramatic and pseudo-moralistic.
the narrator was just downright irritating. The voicing he did for the lead character of the grown up Nelson sounded like the voice you might hear in a 1950-something "educational" film. It was almost comical.
I kept listening to it with same curiosity I might derive from watching a really bad movie, wondering if this could really get worse. It did! By the half way point, I speeded the narration up to 1.5 which is something i have never done before
