...character’s future demise within a short, humorous story. As this fatalistic narrative proceeds, Mun attempts to douse her inherently despondent story with hope. Joon’s stalling biography culminates in a spasmodically positive acceleration that uselessly heaps a sudden dose of optimism upon a solid foundation of despair. Mun’s entire narrative is a staccato rhythm of choppy vignettes that are potent in isolation but awkward as a whole. The even-handed treatment of tainted youth is juxtaposed with sappy, trite religious experiences that crop up randomly with little justification...
...zanne took the immediacy of the Impressionists--their flickering surfaces--and joined it to an ambition to create an art that was more stable and solid. Almost any human figure painted by him possesses the weight and mass of an Egyptian tomb carving. (This may help explain why the later versions of his naked bathers, load-bearing diagonals in an arching composition, are as sexless as shopping-mall escalators.)

...back into the fray, sensing major opportunities in an economy that will have to be rebuilt almost from scratch. One client of African Banking Corp. is ready to multiply its investments by a factor of 20 once the dire political situation stabilizes. Others remain cautious. "When we see a solid set of reform processes with realistic objectives put into play by the government, then we'll be encouraged to increase our exposure," says Jamar Evans, who manages a Chilean hedge fund with investments in the Zimbabwean exchange...
