Elaia Ratings and Reviews
If Michelin rated restaurants in St. Louis, Elaia would certainly be a contender for serious recognition. The experience begins with entry into the urban, chique atmosphere of a repurposed neighborhood brick and continues when diners walk upstairs to the dining area. The ambiance is an interesting fusion of rustic and modern; the brick fireplace and glass-seated candles marry perfectly with the avant-garde decorations, including an amalgam of old kitchen equipment molded into a chandelier.
You're greeted by confident, knowledgeable staff members at every stage of your stay. From the hostess' charm, to the serving staff's precision and etiquette, to the interactions with the food preparation team, each member seems to be hand-selected for his or her position through merit and superior performance. Our server, Jamie, had flawless knowledge of the establishment, from the restaurant history, to the personality of the chef, even to the supplier of the hand-crafted dishware. He was able to outline in great detail both the structure & design intent for each dish presented to us, as well as the origin and style of each wine paring provided.
The ten course meal and accompanying wine parings were some of the finest dining samples I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying. While some are intimidated by a variable menu, the chef is a master at creating a culinary experience that is both delicious and artistic, regularly rotating with the seasonal fare. Our meal included three appetizers, two salads, a soup, two entrees, and two deserts, each of which varied drastically across the spectrum of flavor and style. Of note, the lamb was prepared by souvee to perfection, and the crab-and-granny-smith-apple salad was a dynamic and unexpected paring of flavors. The pairing of port and coconut panacotta was one of most delicious deserts I've ever had.
I can't say enough wonderful things about Elaia. Connoisseurs and casual diners alike will all find this restaurant to be phenomenal.
Came for Valentines with my wife. We have travelled the world and feel we have become spoiled on some incredible places the world has to offer. I would say that the food was very well prepared and portions were perfect for a four course meal. Each dish was unique and excellent. The only exception was one element of the offered veloute. The dish itself was incredible and stated that it was garnished with black truffle. Some of my favorite flavors are both black and white truffles, so expectations were high. It was suggested that this was indeed French truffle but for me each bite of truffle had absolutely no flavor. The only time I experienced this was in China, where the dish advertised local black truffle. Didn't know China had truffles, but due to the absolute lack of flavor of their truffle wouldn't bother again.
I have heard that the flavor of the truffle at room temperature can be quite bland and heating greatly increases the flavor, so perhaps this was the case. It was the only disappointing small part of the entire meal.
Service was excellent and overall wonderful evening
We went to celebrate with friends and had a wonderful evening. The food was finely crafted, creative and with subtle flavors. The chef was also very accommodating to the gluten free and vegetarian requests made by some in our party. It was a memorable dinner.
We like modern American cuisine and were excited to go here for a special birthday dinner. The menu was limited but interesting. My country pate appetizer was nice as was my butternut squash tortellini. Nice combinations of flavors. I had the lamb loin for my main course. While it was beautifully cooked --the meat was tender-- the meat itself tended more towards mutton than lamb. Just had that off taste. So this was a problem with ingredients that the chef should have known abou. Had the salted caramel chouquette for dessert which was OK except the salted caramel sauce that came underneath the puff pastry had been burnt and it tasted like it. Couldn't eat it. Had the wine pairings with our meal. They were pretty ordinary. Some were actually pretty bad--tasting more like apple cider than wine. Overall, a very mixed experience. We won't be back.
We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into, when we made reservations at Elaia! It was a pre fixe menu and quite expensive, so expect to spend over $100 per person ... however ... it was the best food I have ever had in my life! Usually I avoid these kinds of restaurants, but the flavors, service, quality of ingredients and atmosphere were second to none. The chef is award winning and if you want to try an amazing variety of flavors - go to Elaia. You can get meat, fish, vegetarian and they will accommodate any special requests you made. They even surprised me by putting a few tortellini's in my veggies, because I mentioned they looked good. Amazing, surprising and excellent service ... check it out!
My husband and I came in from NYC, and must say that Elaia was a treat! We tried the 10-course tasting menu with the wine pairing. Wow. The food was fantastic and the wine pairing was inspired. This is a restaurant that can compete with the best in the world. Of special note was the Butternut Tortellini and the Salmon gnocchi. A really spectacular evening!
One star down on the ambiance because the table we were seated at had a draft from the air vent - waiter "fixed" it by covering it with a clipboard.
High praise to our server Lauren as she softened the disappointment of an ambiance set with dull lighting, meh decor, wooden seating that encourages standing, and a boisterous table of 4 men - 2 in suits and 2 in ball caps- competing with each other for attention with old tales and witless banter.
Lauren's presence and demeanor was attentive, calming and professional. She adjusted wine pairings to satisfy a disagreement with the chef's planned pairing.
Food, rated 4 stars, would have scored 5 stars but for a bland, creamy, overly whipped Foie gras. Presentation may have been great, but only a black ops specialist with night gear could tell for sure. The food, hidden in shadow, had tremendous taste, texture and geometry but no color.
Yes, I'd go again. I hope we won't need the flashlight app on the I-phone to view the food. Elaia needs some seating that comforts and to redo the minimalist struggling student decor.
Each of my three friends and I did the 4 course prix fixe with wine pairings. We each thoroughly enjoyed the inventive food combinations and beautiful presentation. We even commented that if we the type that took photographed their food, these dishes would have been worthy!
Walked up to Elaia on the second floor above its sister restaurant Olio, a more casual option for sandwiches and drinks with a Middle Eastern flair. It was dim and quiet, with excellent service. Had the 10-course tasting menu, a mixture of standards (goat cheese, tomato & cucumber salad, halibut, lamb, corn cake) and the unusual (sunchoke soup, smoked ice cream). All dishes were beautifully presented and had thoughtful twists on them. For instance, the simplicity of the tomato & cucumber salad was augmented with a sweet pickling, chopped nuts added texture, and a mozzarella espuma on both ends which served as an homage to that traditional flavor pairing.
All in all, creative and delicious. Certainly an excellent choice for a special occasion or romantic dinner. 93/100.
Everything is carefully prepared with the finest ingredients. The presentation is beautiful. Overall it is an experience well worth having. The four course Prix Fixe menu at $70 a person, while not cheap, is well worth it. My one complaint would be that wine is priced a bit higher than it seems it should be.
My wife and I went for a date night on our vacation. We decided to get the Prixe Fixe with the wine pairings. So, we basically got to try 8 courses together. EVERY COURSE WAS FANTASTIC. We had some of the best flavors we have ever tasted. Don't listen to people about proportions, this place is about quality and flavor, not value and bloated bellies. I in no way felt the food was overpriced, because the quality was superb. Great wine pairings. Wonderful service. This is a must try!!!
Elaia's food was fantastic. Would recommend planning to go for a leisurely dinner and enjoy the prix fixe option. We stopped by on way to theater and the value was not there for a quick bite...our fault, not theirs. Olio is attached, and it is better option for a shorter meal. That said, the food is some of the most creative in StL and a must for foodies. And the wine list is very thoughtfully prepared.
Service was so slow even tho only 4 tables were seated the entire time we were there. (10 guests total)
Food was underwhelming and small portions even for "fine dining".
The wine pairings were pretty spot on
The bill was outrageous.
Regret this decision and probably will not return.
The food was outstanding-superb taste. Best food in St Louis. Our server was pleasant and knowledgeable. Only 4 stars instead of 5 because ancillary service was average (we had to ask for more bread and to have more wine poured and the portions were small (what you might expect from a 7 course tasting menu not a 4 course prix fixe).
We decided the next day that the best way to describe the food was "bursting with different flavors in every bite and in every dish". Each course was nicely presented and seemed to be a smooth transition from one to the other. We all had different choices for our courses but agreed that each incorporated seasonal fruit and vegetables with some unique items. The only recommendation that I would give would be to add a little more light. Even the younger members at our table could't read the menu and it would have been nice to see the food we were eating because I'm sure the colors would have made the food even more inviting. The noise level was great though - one of the few restaurants we could talk without raising our voices or listen without straining. Overall it was an excellent dining experience and would go back. We started at the wine bar next door for a drink which was also a great experience. We love sitting and watching out the window while we drink our unique cocktails.
The whole thing was a great experience. We had an 8:30 reservation. The table was not cleared by then so we had to wait a few minutes. They out us at the bar at Olio and showed us a great time and made some amazing cocktails. The table being late actually made the experience better. We were then taken upstairs to our table at Elaia. The service and food were excellent. Great price too. We had the Prix Fixe and were blown away by the selections. I can't wait to go back next time we're in town.
We arrived early for our reservation and had to sit at the bar for the appointed time. We had some sparkling wine and assortment of nuts, olives and pickled vegetables while we waited. Thank goodness we did, because the portions on the menu were extremely small. We chose from options on each of the four courses on the menu. Although Elaia is billed as top food in St. Louis, we simply were not that impressed. The causa peruana, a potato roll with fish, had little flavor and the lacquered chicken was too lacquered. Our waitress was a little strange but the service was fine. We chose a nice Riesling from the wine list. We're not quite sure why the restaurant is considered one of the top ones in town.
The food was fantastic, and I really liked how our server explained the ingredients and preparation that went into each dish. It really enhanced our appreciation of the effort and thought that went into preparing our food. The food was delicious as well as presented beautifully. I would heartily recommend Elaia to any of my friends or family for a visit.
I was fortunate to get reservations at Elaia while in town with a friend for two days during a photography conference. St. Louis is lucky to have Ben Poremba, and we were lucky to eat his and his staff's handiwork. We were also very lucky to have our waiter Tom; he was incredibly friendly, professional, and knowledgable. He encouraged us to take our time, enjoy each plate fully, and ask any and all questions we may have had (we had many). We each ordered a prix fixe four course meal and it was perfect. Speaking of perfect, Wes Montgomery with Strings played while we were there and it's one of my favorite records. While I can't promise you'll get Tom or Wes Montgomery, I can say that it's very likely you'll have an unforgettable experience.

Josh and staff do an excellent job here, and the food is fantastic! Great place to stay, great place to eat and great fly fishing service. It feels like coming home every time I walk into the place.
This is a very small, cozy spot with a beautiful view of the AuSable. Food is very good. Trout Hemingway was delicious and perch was also. Reservations are a must but it is a really fun experience. Cost was around 50 for the two of us. The service was friendly and the hot chocolate cake was the best for dessert.
I was staying at the Lodge and decided to dine at their restaurant. Tiny place - you need reservations for dinner. For a place this small they have a pretty extensive menu that includes several salads, fine appetizers, burgers, fish, poultry, steaks, and sandwiches. Lots of dessert offerings, too. I had a small salad - fresh and tasty, followed by...
We've made it a point to visit GASL at least once a month. Both the lunches and dinners offer the usual and the unique. All expertly prepared. They don't have a bar but will allow wine for a small corkage fee. Appetizers are a must, salads excellent and entrees very filling. Truly outstanding cuisine. Reservations a must for dinner. Very...
Fun escape. Quiet lodge along babbling AuSable River. Perch and walleye are excellent. Bring your own wine and enjoy with a very small corkage fee.
had a wonderful dinner at gates lodge, food and service were top notch! I recommend the hot chocolate cake for dessert or any time day or night.
We stopped here on our way to Mackinac Island for dinner after a friend highly recommended it recommended that. Unfortunately when we called earlier that day we were unable to get reservations, but decided to stop and see the area anyway and perhaps get a sandwich from the walk up window. So glad we did! They were about an hour...
We were driving through town on our way back from vacation and stopped in for lunch - this place is fantastic! Could not believe the variety on the menu. The smoked trout chowder was the best chowder we've ever had, and they had over 50 sandwiches to choose from. The Reuben had cheese grilled onto the outside, really crispy and...
I used Gates Lodge for a 4 hour guided fly fishing trip on the Au Sable. Jordan was just what I needed. I am 63 with some casting experience but limited local knowledge. He really knows his stuff and was patient and friendly. Great conversation and we caught some fish. Highly recommend Jordan.

Stayed here and ate here many times. Specials every day are very good. The menu is somewhat limited, but everything is excellent.

As palpable as the crisp air of autumn, football season in America has arrived.
No question about it: get ready for five months of gridiron ecstasy -- a plethora of afternoons and evenings filled with amazing laser-like passes from quarterback to fleeting receiver, the brute straight-ahead surging of running backs, and the nail-in-the-coffin finality of last-second field goals.
As we marvel at the athletic skill and magic of such NFL pros as Payton Manning, Philip Rivers, and Chris Johnson, as well as college stars like LaMichael James of Oregon State and Andrew Luck of Stanford, let us not forget the part that science and engineering plays on and off the field to make these stellar performances happen -- and what this says about the prevalence of technology in our lives, and where we must head as a nation in science education if we are to motivate the equivalent of the next generation of "Joe Montanas" or "Serena Williamses" in the global game of innovation.
Of all sports, football perhaps represents the most sweeping impact that science and engineering has on athletics -- ranging from the safer and better-engineered equipment that players wear to the athletes' mode of physical training, diet/nutrition, play calling and the way their injuries are treated.
This in turn reflects a bigger picture -- just how integral technology is in enhancing virtually every aspect of our daily lives -- from the medicines we take and the vehicles we drive to the electronic devices we use and the food we eat.
But herein lies a dilemma: While it is unlikely that we will ever face a shortage of talented athletes graduating from our schools, we are indeed facing a critical reduction of students entering STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), which threatens to have a detrimental effect on the innovation pipeline in all areas of technology.
Add to the mix that many universities and colleges tend to place higher priority in time and dollars on their athletic programs (because these programs are frequently viewed as immediate money generators for the schools) as opposed to their school's science outreach programs -- initiatives which are often deemed "expendable" and are frequently among the first to be eliminated or seriously curtailed, especially in these budget-cutting times.
As founder and organizer of the USA Science & Engineering Festival (the country's only annual national celebration of technology and especially designed to motivate the next generation of innovators), I take issue with this line of thinking.
In reality, science and engineering outreach, although admittedly more long-term in its goals and benefits, carries the vital mission of helping to motivate and train America's STEM leaders of tomorrow. STEM disciplines are sorely needed to revive America's global leadership position in innovation, which is now dwindling, and to create well-paying, high-tech jobs for the future. The stakes are high, and in these pressing times, this represents an agenda that sports can never compete with -- and a dividend that knows no dollar amount.
Which is why, as I contact universities around the country asking for their support and participation in the upcoming 2nd USA Science & Engineering Festival, I take every chance I can to urge them to place as much emphasis on supporting science outreach initiatives to K-12 students (in an effort to motivate the next Montana or Williams in science and engineering) as they do in supporting their athletic programs.
Participating in a major nationwide and international event like the festival, and its massive finale Expo celebration (taking place in Washington, DC on April 27-29), provides some great and inherent opportunities for universities, including:
-- Allowing their faculty members in STEM fields to showcase their cutting-edge research and innovations by engaging in a public outreach setting and serving as role models and mentors to young learners. (The National Science Foundation requires that its research grant recipients participate in outreach.)
-- Engaging their undergraduate and graduate students and their local alumni in exciting hands-on interaction with underserved K-12 students interested in science.
-- Allowing their undergrads to network with some the world's leading scientists and professional organizations.
-- Permitting those universities with viable athletics programs to attend with their sports scientists, technology experts and athletes to wow kids with demonstrations of how science and engineering is contributing to sports performance, safety and quality.
-- Engaging and exciting the public about the major science and engineering research underway at their institutions. (If the public is unaware or misinformed about such work, they will be less likely to be interested in funding it, so you could look at it as a form of promoting job security!)
The public benefits as well. Our inaugural national festival last year (formally endorsed by both Houses of Congress and by President Obama) attracted more than half a million K-12 students, teachers and other participants and visitors, in addition to 750 organizations, colleges/universities, government agencies, businesses and news agencies in technology.
Join us next April when the festival includes an expanded network of satellite events nationwide, more than 100 world class scientists and engineers, as well as leading serial biotech entrepreneurs/innovators such as Elon Musk, Richard Garriott and Anousheh Ansari, and lunch (open to students and the public) with renowned Nobel Laureates in science, and more!
The festival concludes with an exciting weekend Expo in DC featuring a myriad of hands-on interactive exhibits, stage shows and demonstrations from around the world -- all celebrating the power of science and engineering.

As sure as football rules in autumn, motivating and educating the next generation of innovators is a competition we cannot afford to lose. Please join me in accepting the challenge.

Reduce poverty to improve overall health
What is public health? With the close of National Public Health Week, it's important to reflect on the breadth of what is encompassed by this very vast field. Open the newspaper today and see that many stories are public health-related. From national debates over water fluoridation and family planning to contention over societal burdens and personal freedoms associated with large soda bans and gun control.
Despite the public discourse, the facts remain: The roots of public health are widespread and include victories such as immunization and control of infectious disease, sanitation standards and motor vehicle safety.
Today, public health is delivered through both private nonprofits and governmental agencies and is funded at the federal, state and local levels. While the benefits of these services are clear, we now have a much better understanding that factors beyond traditional public health also play key roles in the health of both individuals and communities.
These factors often affect health from the start of life, are intergenerational and include things such as income, education, housing, neighborhood and social connectedness. The University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute's County Health Rankings illustrates that at least 40% of health outcomes are driven by social and economic factors.
These socioeconomic factors are interconnected, but evidence reveals two key facts: 1) lower income can drastically affect life expectancy; and 2) poverty-reduction policies are effective in improving health outcomes.
Research shows that adults in the highest income brackets live up to 6 1/2 years longer and are five times more likely to report being in good health than those in the lowest income brackets. The income we earn not only affects other socioeconomic factors - such as the education we have access to and the environments in which we live - but also what we can afford in making choices about our health.
Recent data from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services show that those in lower income brackets are less likely to report being physically active, less likely to consume healthy foods and are more likely to smoke. It is not hard to understand, then, why Wisconsin's lower-income populations are also more likely to report having chronic diseases including arthritis, asthma, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, high cholesterol and blood pressure, obesity or stroke.
Additionally, our state's minority populations are at increased risk for these diseases as nearly one in four whites report high income compared to fewer than one in seven American Indians and Hispanics and fewer than one in 10 blacks.
While a number of proposed solutions - such as large soda bans and healthy food corner stores - are valuable, these efforts appear to be too downstream to efficiently address the larger systemic problem: poverty as a root public health issue.
So, while funding public health in general is necessary, there are compelling reasons to increase and target these funds at programs to reduce poverty, such as increased Earned Income Tax Credits and Transitional Jobs. Doing so will create health benefits that cross-cut multiple disease areas and allow all individuals equal opportunity to make healthy choices.
As we conclude this National Public Health Week, I applaud traditional public health practice that focuses on threats to the community through disease surveillance and early detection of diseases. But the threats to our communities have changed, while our willingness to alter the approaches we use has not.
If we truly care about improving population-level health in a cost-effective way, it's important our health policy goals target poverty to ensure fair conditions are created for the people of Wisconsin to make healthy choices for themselves and their communities.

Cesare Bovo is likely to still be at Palermo next season, his agent Franco Zavaglia has commented.
The Italian has been paired with numerous clubs, but his representative has told TMW that his client will probably remain at the Stadio Barbera.
"Cesare is very happy with life in Palermo," Zavaglia underlined. "He still has three years to run on his contract and he intends to respect it."
Nevertheless, Zavaglia did leave the door slightly open for a move should one of the big clubs come in for him.
"Obviously if an important offer was made, one that we couldn't refuse, then we would sit down with Palermo and decide what to do."
Bovo is a central defender.

Thief takes donation box from Dunkin' Donuts' counter
EASTON, Pa. - An Easton woman lost all of her belongings in a fire, and now a thief has stolen the money meant to help her.
The crook entered to the Dunkin' Donuts in Easton's Centre Square, grabbed the donation box and walked right out with the cash.
Regulars at the Dunkin' Donuts in Easton's Centre Square made the box to collect money for a friend in need.
"She's a regular customer here and we wanted to help raise money for her," said Kalyn Jurus, manager at Dunkin' Donuts
The woman in need is Diane Gonzalez.
Last month, Gonzalez's apartment building, on North 4th Street, caught on fire and she lost everything.
"Right now she is in need," said customer Milagros Maisonet. "The house got burned, no clothes, but the community of Easton, we're giving her donations, helping her out."
Thursday morning, workers say they turned their backs for just a moment and in a flash the cash was gone.
"We come out and the box is gone," said Jurus. "Somebody just literally walked in, came through the door, took the box and ran out."
Customers attempted to chase the crook to no avail.
"I went out to see if I could see the person, but when I hit the corner of the dollar store, I found the lid," added Maisonet.
Some in the community are mad, but many say the crime is not going to stop them from trying to help a friend in need.
They're not sure how much was in the box when it was stolen, but they vow to raise even more this time.
"A lot of people have been coming by," said Jurus. "Now that every hour I go and get the box and go get the money out and put it in the safe."
They hope the person who committed the crime is caught soon.
"I hope God forgives him for doing something like that," said Maisonet. "He's really a low life."
Easton Police tell us they are investigating the case and will be looking at the surveillance tape to get a better description of the man who stole the money.

While I'm
tanning doing journalism at the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair, I thought it would be interesting to totally overload everyone on Macedonio Fernandez. Museum of Eterna's Novel ranks right up there as one of the books that I'm most proud to be associated with. It's unique, strange, "difficult," endlessly playful, important, influential, conceptual, frustrating, enjoyable, and one of the most devoted love stories ever written. To build up to the March 11th event for Macedonio ("The Greatest Event Since It and the World Began"), which will take place at the Americas Society and feature Edith Grossman, Margaret Schwartz, and Todd Garth, all this week we're going to be serializing Margaret's translator's introduction. And next Monday we'll run a special interview one of our interns did with her about the translation. Enjoy!
I first encountered the archive of Macedonio's manuscripts, notebooks, photographs, and diaries in 2002, in the closet of an apartment in Buenos Aires's Cabellito district. I had come to Argentina as a young Fulbright scholar in search of Macedonio's son, Adolfo, who was his father's literary executor and posthumous editor, responsible for the meticulous work of typing out and arranging Macedonio's chaotic longhand. Since the bulk of Macedonio's publication was posthumous—including The Museum of Eterna's Novel—it is only thanks to Adolfo's meticulous care and patience that this book exists at all.
Unfortunately, the elderly Adolfo had died just a few months earlier, and the archive was in limbo. Perhaps because North American pilgrims to the shrine of Macedonio are few, or perhaps because I had come so far only to face disappointment, I was eventually put in touch with a friend of the family, in whose apartment the archive was temporarily stored. I read the manuscripts, under supervision and in secret, every day for two months, as clouds moved across the Southern Hemisphere's winter sky to settle over the river at dusk.
I inhaled the musty, yellowed pages, stroked my finger across the indentations made on the page by a thick pencil and a heavy, elderly hand, obsessively catalogued marginalia, stains on the paper, fingerprints in the ink, and even a crumb of something stuck to the page—perhaps evidence of Maceodnio's famous sweet tooth?—the fun and the frustration is, one cannot know. An archive is in many ways defined by what it cannot contain.
The most obvious piece missing from the archive is the writings that are commonly thought to have been lost because of Macedonio's own neglect for them. The story goes that he wrote on crumpled café napkins, that he used to light the stove or his cigarette with loose manuscript pages, or that he piled them up in suitcases, only to abandon them when he moved from one flophouse room to the next. Though this neglect for his own written production is a cornerstone of the Macedonio mythology, the enormous number of writings that have survived (over thirty notebooks, and five full manuscripts of The Museum of Eterna's Novel) suggest that perhaps rumors of Macedonio's disinterest in his writings have been greatly exaggerated.
Less obvious, and more real, missing pieces are the notebooks full of undeciphered pages. Macedonio did not type: every one of the manuscripts in his archive is handwritten. The early notebooks, like the diary or so-called "Book for Oneself " (Libro para si mismo) are written in ink in the lovely calligraphy considered a courtesy and a grace in the nineteenth century. As he aged, however, Macedonio's hand grew ever crabbed, and his utensil—in the later notebooks usually a dull pencil—more easily smudged and blurred. These later notebooks are thus often illegible for long passages. The object-quality of the notebooks, their stubborn thingliness, stands in this case as a kind of maddening tease, as the words, though they are there on the page in clear and obvious reality, do not necessarily give way to intelligible meaning, especially in an author whose hand followed his meandering and fragmentary thoughts with such obsessive fidelity. Like Poe's purloined letter, some of these thoughts are hidden in plain view, illegible.
As physical and thus mortal objects, these manuscripts have a lifespan. They were almost all written on cheap dime-store paper, and many were written with highly acidic ink. This ink is slowly breaking down the wood fibers in the paper, which will eventually disintegrate even if they are kept under ideal conditions. But the immediacy of the stroke of the living hand on the page leaves its trace on these manuscripts in a way I can only describe in metaphysical terms. The marks are not always intelligible or identifiable: they are ciphers. The only certainty is that Macedonio once held his living hands to these pages. It's like laying one's ear to a train track to listen for the vibrations of a train that passed fifty years ago. Microscopically, they are there—and knowing that is the thrill that keeps your ear pressed to the tracks.
Macedonio Fernández (1874-1952) is best known in his native Argentina as the mentor of a young Jorge Luis Borges, who later wrote of his friend, "I imitated him to the point of plagiarism." This confession, however, belies the longstanding anxiety of influence between the two writers, and gives some insight into why Macedonio—as he is affectionately known—is more of a local folk hero than an internationally renowned writer. There exists a Macedonio of Borges's invention, and this invented character's reticence, or failure, to publish tends to reinforce Borges's quaint mythology of a man dedicated to meditation, stillness, and only incidentally to the written word. Nevertheless, Macedonio wrote thousands of pages of manuscript in his life, most of which remained unpublished when he died, in 1952. His son, Adolfo de Obieta, organized and published these manuscripts, serving as literary executor, editor, and high priest of the cult of Macedonio until his death in 2002.
The Museum of Eterna's Novel is Macedonio's most important work. This is the first time it—or any of his considerable oeuvre—has been translated into English in its entirety. He began what he called the "first good novel" around 1925, at the height of his involvement with the avant-garde literary scene in Buenos Aires. He would labor over the book for the next twenty-seven years, producing five full manuscripts in total, the first of which was written out in longhand by his lover, muse, and companion, Consuelo Bosch. Although The Museum of Eterna's Novel eludes categorization, its many prologues and self-conscious use of authorial persona often lead to its characterization as an example of proto-postmodernism. Macedonio himself would have shrugged off this label, and insisted instead that the novel is a sketch for a metaphysics wherein love conquers death.
Prose translators will likely disagree, but I believe translating poetry requires a significant level of talent, a commitment to the text, and near mania, all of which suggests that the undertaking is the greatest possible challenge. The task is to. . .
The biggest issues with books like The Subsidiary often have to do with their underpinnings—when we learn that Georges Perec wrote La Disparition without once using the letter E, we are impressed. Imagine such a task! It takes a high. . .
Following The Infatuations, Javier Marías's latest novel seems, like those that have preceded it, an experiment to test fiction's capacity to mesmerize with sombre-sexy atmospheres and ruminative elongated sentences stretched across windowless walls of paragraphs. Thus Bad Begins offers his. . .
Death by Water, Kenzaburo Oe's latest novel to be translated into English, practically begs you to read it as autobiography. Like The Changeling, as well as many other works not yet released in English, Death by Water is narrated in. . .
Jocelyne Saucier's Twenty-One Cardinals is about the type of unique, indestructible, and often tragic loyalty only found in families. For a brief but stunningly mesmerizing 169 pages, Twenty-One Cardinals invited me in to the haunting and intimate world of the. . .
We know so very little; so little that what we think to be knowledge is hardly worth reckoning with at all; instead we ought to settle for being pleasantly surprised if, on the edge of things, against all expectations, our. . .
Many of Virginie Despentes's books revolve around the same central idea: "To be born a woman [is] the worst fate in practically every society." But this message is nearly always packaged in easy-to-read books that fill you with the pleasure. . .
Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer's La Superba is appropriately titled after the Italian city of Genoa, where, after escaping the pressures of fame in his own country, the semi-autobiographical narrator finds himself cataloguing the experiences of its mesmerizing inhabitants with the intention. . .
It took reading 44 pages of Intervenir/Intervene before I began to get a sense of what Dolores Dorantes and Rodrigo Flores Sánchez were up to. Recurring throughout these 44 pages—throughout the entire book—are shovels, shovel smacks to the face, lobelias—aha!. . .
As presaged by its title, contradiction is the theme of Peter Stamm's novel, All Days Are Night. Gillian, a well-known television personality, remains unknowable to herself. And Hubert, a frustrated artist and Gillian's lover, creates art through the process of. . .

OK-here is an updated map of the Cannonsburg Ski Area since we re-signed the entire trail today! The Triple East and West are now one-way traffic based on days of the week, similar to Merrell. The days are listed on this map and also with signage on the trail junctions. We hope we improved the markings to keep first timers and the seldom users on course by marking the main loop in white arrows with all the optional loops in different colors. Creek Trail has brown arrows, the Connector has blue arrows, the Triple East and West have red arrows and Bill's Hill is marked with yellow arrows. All of these options can be bypassed as most of you know just take all the white arrow options. Take all the options and it is now 9 miles long!
