Anne Michaels' "The Winter Vault" meditates on loss and grief for places and the people who live there. The novel opens with Canadian engineer Avery Esher and his wife, Jean, living on the Nile while Avery works on the removal of the Abu Simbel temples from ground soon to be inundated by the waters of the Aswan dam. Each block has to be precisely sawn, numbered, hauled away and replaced exactly as it was in the original site. But will the ancient stone withstand the shock? Might it crumble into dust? No one knows. In any case, does the dam justify the removal of the temples and of the Nubians whose lands will also disappear? Their agriculture and way of life depends on inhabiting those lands. Transporting them to new villages of concrete houses means transporting them to an alien lifest...
In response to Anne Michaels of San Bernardino (re: "Scratching heads," Aug. 11 letter), here are the positive points about San Bernardino, since you couldn't think of any: Most people are friendly. The schools are good and have many excellent programs and teachers. There is a huge variety of fabulous restaurants and stores. The roads are not crowded most of the time. The surrounding scenery is absolutely beautiful. There's plenty to do. It's a small city with big-city attractions and a wonderful place to raise your children. I love San Bernardino and am so glad that God let me live in the community for 23 years. I've been to 54 countries all over the world and wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

As a warning on what not to do, [Alfonso Cuar]ón would do well to watch , [Jeremy Podeswa]'s unimaginative and literal-minded take on Anne Michaels' bestseller. Like Love, Pieces explores WWII's effects on the present in ways that have no book-to-cinema analog. Podeswa's solution isn't to reimagine the source for a different medium but to simply transcribe the novel to a script and then film it, hoping the novel's gifts will automatically make the jump. Hopping between two different time periods, as well as several differently filmed locales, Pieces stars Stephen Dillane as a Polish-born Jew residing in Toronto. As a 7-year-old, Dillane watched the Nazis murder his parents, and escaped thanks only to a kindly Greek geologist (the terrific Serbian character actor Rade Serb...
