The Celestial Jukebox: A Novel


The Celestial Jukebox is set in the invented Mississippi Delta town of Madagascar. Shearerâ??s rural south is dependent on the rather less attractive fruits of capitalism, including agribusiness, gambling, and the dwindling vices surrounding the retail trades. The mood feels like a very humid melancholy. And into this weather comes Boubacar, a 15-year-old boy from Africa joining friends from Mauritania already living in the areaÂ?new African blacks not especially noteworthy in a small town filled with Chinese emigrants, African Americans within memory of slavery, straggling members of the original white families of the area, and unsorted other imports. Boubacar visits The Celestial Grocery, the virtual city center presided over by a cranky second-generation Chinese proprietor and his equally cranky jukebox that often hoards its treasure of Slim Harpo, Sam Cooke, and Wanda Jackson, when stuck on the same sad Louvin Brothers song. The tie that binds all these lives is American popular music, its origins and power. The purity and beauty of the writingÂ?like the purity of the imagined soundtrack of more than 30 songs that exists within this storyÂ?marks The Celestial Jukebox as a rare book, filled with music, struggle, and spontaneous joy.

Martin Parr: Mexico


For much of his career, Martin Parr has specialized in skewering the eccentricities and peculiarities of his native Great Britain–in particular those having to do with food, tourism, bad fashion choices and more food. Mexico is Parr’s first new thematic series to be published in book form since 2002, a distinct geographical departure, and in part a greater departure as well. Parr is struck not only by Mexican culture, but also by the clear impact of America’s pop culture and economy on Mexican life–the juxtaposition of Mickey Mouse with brightly colored saints, Nike logos with Day of the Dead skulls and Coca Cola with cacti. Here viewers are in recognizable territory with Parr’s colorful close-ups of food, hats, signs and souvenirs, garishly shot with medical efficiency–but Mexico also includes some straight records of human faces, images that capture photographer and subject in the act of mutual contemplation. These moments of mercy are one with the underlying theme of Parr’s more ironic work, calling up equally the corruption of authentic cultural forms by global consumer culture, which he both critiques and celebrates. As Parr puts it, “What I am saying is that it’s a good and a bad thing. I’m constantly trying to express ambiguity. And that’s what photography does very well.”
