It took six years for Albom to release a follow-up, and the time appears to have been well spent "And I think that has very much to do with him basing (Eddie's) personality on his favorite uncle 'Morrie' Author Returns With Best Seller Oct 29, 1:23 PM EST Mitch Albom promised he wouldn't rush into anything after his 1997 best seller, "Tuesdays With Morrie "There are no random acts," says The Blue Man, a former sideshow member at the amusement park and the first person Eddie meets in heaven The last thing he feels are two little hands in his and then everything goes to black "I don't do any of them full time," he said "I began to think, `What's the best way for me to follow that up and to not try to be capitalizing on it or look at all like it's something of a sequel?' "So, I think I just sort of gravitated to fiction because it was so different, and I'd always wanted to try it anyhow But don't call it a sequel albom Eddie, who fears he never accomplished anything in his life of any substance or meaning, dies not knowing if he saved the girl â€â€? whether the last action he took in life was a success or a failure He is killed on his 83rd birthday trying to save a girl when a malfunctioning cart from the park's tower drop attraction, Freddy's Free Fall, hurtles toward her " The result is a less than 200-page take on the age-old question: What happens when you die? The story centers on Eddie, who spent the majority of his life as a maintenance man at a decaying seaside amusement park " Amy Tan, a best-selling author and friend of Albom's from their membership in the informal author band the Rock Bottom Remainders, says basing the book on a real person aided in the authenticity of the story com/ Eddie couldn't do that "I wanted to write a book about the Eddies of the world, who I think there are a lot more of than the Morries of the world," Albom said "This book has more freedom to create a dreamlike reality â€â€? the element of fiction in which you can depart from those conventions of what's real â€â€? and yet you have the feeling that it's an authentic character," Tan said "It's an old story with as much heft as a fluffy cloud, but there's comfort in Albom's unwavering conviction that our lives have meaning even after we're gone," said a review in People magazine " Albom based the Eddie character on his uncle, Edward Beitchman, who, like his fictional counterpart, was a street-tough World War II veteran who died at 83 wondering what good he had done during his living years Entertainment Weekly was less kind, saying, "From the man who brought you `Tuesdays With Morrie' comes another trite-and-true primer on how to live, this time a simpleminded and shamelessly sentimental novel He finds himself in heaven, but in Albom's version, singing angels and bright lights are nowhere to be found " While Tan is an unabashed fan of the novel, it has been met with decidedly mixed reviews He was in touch with his feelings Albom's fiction debut, "The Five People You Meet in Heaven," spent its first four weeks atop the New York Times best seller list "We are all connected "The book is really a sort of valentine to my uncle "Morrie was an exceptional man " â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: http://www I'm lucky if I work seven months a year now That's the last thing Albom wanted to write after "Tuesdays With Morrie "I used to write five columns a week for the Free Press 11 1/2 months a year " And he didn't You can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind He spoke in kind of clipped, gruff sentences " Albom's chronicle of his mentor Morrie Schwartz's deathbed seminar on life has sold more than 5 million copies, inspired an Opray Winfrey-produced television movie that won multiple Emmys and was even made into an off-Broadway play " Besides being a best-selling author, Albom is an award-winning sports columnist with the Detroit Free Press, the host of a nationally syndicated afternoon radio program and a frequent panelist on ESPN's "The Sports Reporters," which airs on Sunday mornings He wasn't particularly well-educated "It probably feels like, `He must be going a million miles an hour,' but none of it is full time and none of it is all the time ' I just didn't want to be a self-help author or franchise writer," Albom said in an interview with The Associated Press But Albom, who in "Tuesdays With Morrie" portrays himself as a workaholic who had lost touch with what really counted until Schwartz reminded him, insists that he's really not that busy "After its success, everybody kind of wanted `Wednesdays With Morrie' or `Chicken Soup With Morrie Instead, Eddie meets five people who impress upon him the central message of the book â€â€? that all lives intersect in some way and one's actions change others' lives in unimaginable ways He could put everything in words Earlier this month, Mexico's attorney general announced the creation of a special prosecutor's office to investigate the killings Mexican authorities estimate nearly 300 women have been killed in the last decade in the border town "When we first started talking about it, I didn't know all the crazy facts," said an artist who goes by the name Axis, one of four people commissioned to do the 8-by-40-foot mural at an art space near Hollywood Boulevard 14th, the more possible justice will be," Ensler said Jane Fonda, Sally Field and Christine Lahti are among the celebrities who have agreed to attend the march south of the border near El Paso, Texas Mural Focuses on Missing Mexican Women Jan 30, 5:29 AM EST In one image, a young girl cowers under a blanket below dark phantoms More film projects are in the works Organizers of the upcoming march believe more public pressure is needed Amnesty also has presented scarves printed with images of victims' hands to actresses who pledged their support, including Salma Hayek "I'm going to help bring attention to the 300 women victims who were murdered, tortured, raped and disappeared in Juarez, and to ensure the perpetrators will be brought to justice," Fonda said Most victims were poor and ranged in age from 14 to 20 All are part of a mural Amnesty International unveiled Thursday honoring hundreds of missing and murdered women in Juarez, Mexico, in a case that activists say has been largely ignored by Mexican authorities "I hope my involvement helps draw attention to this abominable act of violence against defenseless women to create more pressure to put an end to it," said Hayek, who met with the mural artists Thursday Police have convicted only one man in the crimes, and their investigations have been criticized by Mexico's National Human Rights Commission The march in Juarez is co-sponsored by Amnesty International and the nonprofit V-Day Foundation, led by playwright Eve Ensler, author of the play "The Vagina Monologues Organizers hope the mural painted by graffiti artists will boost interest in a Valentine's Day march in Juarez to protest the slayings "Then we each read about the killings, and it's still hard to believe stuff like this is happening," he said Several plays and documentaries have told the stories of the families Another depicts the Virgin Mary, and another still shows a skull with flowing black hair dotted with roses "The more people we get into the streets of Juarez on Feb " The foundation combats worldwide violence against women Amnesty International puts the number closer to 400 |
