The Mercy Seat

Book Description

Set on September 12, 2001, The Mercy Seat continues Neil LaBute’s unflinching fascination with the often-brutal realities of the war between the sexes. In a time of national tragedy, the world changes overnight. A man and a woman explore the choices now available to them in an existence different from the one they had lived just the day before. Can one be opportunistic in a time of universal selflessness?

Affecting Sept. 11th tale.......2005-08-08

Leave it to Neil Labute to provide a view of September 11th that has little to do with waving flags and stalwart heroes. On the contrary, his tale deals with people too self-absorbed and cowardly to act in any way other than that which satisfies their own immediate desires. They realize they are in the middle of a national tragedy, and they want to be brave and selfless, but it's not in them. This is a situation that probably occured all over this country in the days following the attacks, but of course was never reported. Deception and adultery don't make good press in a time when we're all supposed to be united and courageous. LaBute shows us the truth, ugly though it is. A worthy read.

Fascinating study of humanity..........2005-08-07

...of course, with plenty of LaBute's sometimes heavy-handed misanthropy. I originally began reading LaBute's plays after seeing Bash, and while I'll say that that one is better (everyone should read it!), I'll say that Mercy Seat is second only to that play for honest-to-god squirm-in-your-seat disgust at humanity's...human-ness.

Here in America, the gimme-gimme capital of the world, it's easy to pretend you don't see the poor, the sick, and the war-ravaged (especially since they're across the ocean). Then on Tuesday, September 11th, 2001 America got a huge wake-up call--we were the war-ravaged for once. The Mercy Seat, set on Wedensday, September 12th, is a multi-layered examination of just how deep our image of concern for fellow man really went in those troubled days. According to Neil LaBute, not very far.

LaBute's play is the story of Abby Prescott and Ben Harcourt, two self-absorbed New Yorkers--that is, they were a day ago, before "9-11". Did the tragedy that befell their coworkers, friends, and family change their attitude? Not at all. In fact, their selfishness is what saved their lives; if Ben hadn't been cheating on his wife, they would have actually been at work like he told his wife.

With brutal honesty and the kind of cruel, biting wit, LaBute shapes the morning of September 12th and asks the sort of questions many Americans pretend they don't think about: If something doesn't affect you personally, does it affect you? Are your loved ones really more important than yourself? If you could, would you erase everything for the chance to try again--do it "right"--no wife, kids, responsibility?

An hour-long argument.......2005-04-30

I'm fascinated by arguing and the dynamics of arguments. The part I liked best about Labute's "Your Friends and Neighbors" was the arguing between Ben Stiller and Catherine Keener. That argument only lasted for about five minutes, so the fact that Mercy Seat is an hour-long argument is treat for someone like me.

This play has only two characters, and it is extremely fascinating and extremely complex. Ben Harcourt is Labute's typical Aaron Eckhart character. But I think that Abby Prescott's character type is new for Labute. She's a very smart, and seemingly genuine and nice woman.

Labute says in the introduction that this is his first play solely about relationships. He does an excellent job. My only recommendation is to skip Labute's introduction to the play until you've read it through once. It's an extremely cool intro, but I feel that it gives away too much of the plot.

A great play.......2003-04-07

Labute has once again proved to be one of the great authors of the 20th/21st century. His style allows one to grab into characters, not only because of their actions, but because they are one of our own. These people remind of us us. Of ourselves. We see things we do not like, but must understand. The Mercy Seat is just the latest example of an amazing work, but one of the great American authors around today.

Interesting character piece..........2003-03-28

Labute masterminded "In the Company of Men," "Your Friends and Neighbors," the absolutely brilliant, "The Shape of Things," now brings to the stage, "Mercy Seat". Set the day after September 11, "Mercy Seat" is the story of Ben Harcourt and Abby Prescott. Set in Abby's downtown apartment, the play explores their relationship and selfishness in light of a national tragedy. The ending, as any play from Labute--comes as a surprise, sadly, the climax is somewhat of a let down. I'm not going to give away the ending and I'm well aware of what the relationship is there to show/represent, but I think my biggest problem with, "Mercy Seat" was that I didn't care about that characters, through out the majority of the play there fighting or nagging at each other. It got to the point where I would rather them shut up, than reveal anything to progress the story. I like the idea behind "Mercy Seat," the thought that two people could be a couple of blocks away from this disaster and be so caught up in themselves... I just don't think it was executed as well as it could have been. In the end, we just don't care--there are bigger and better things going on outside that window and Ben and Abby...well, it seems like they're just there. If you've never read Labute, pick up a copy of "Shape of Things," you will NOT regret it. If you've never seen Labute, go out and rent, "In the Company of Men". If you LOVE Labute, go ahead with "Mercy Seat," it's not bad, it's still witty and clever, and the dialouge is just incredible--back and forth, back and forth, he really owns this relationship, but it's just not his best. This is character piece...

Book Description

"Martyn Waites stands out in the crowded field of young British noir writers . . . with his bruised characters, raw-edged dialogue, and extraordinary night vision."-The New York Times Book Review

"London's dark heart has seldom been exposed with such surgical precision. Brutal, mesmerizing stuff."-Ian Rankin

"A huge talent."-TimeOut London

"One of the brightest stars in the British crime writing firmament."-John Connolly

A research scientist has gone missing. An ace newspaper reporter has disappeared; so has a minidisc, along with its incriminating evidence. And a teenage hustler is on the run. In his pursuer, the Hammer, a skin-headed professional killer with a blue sapphire tooth and a taste for death metal, "the principle of evil" has indeed been "made flesh."

From its staggering opening to an electrifying finish, its prose pumping adrenaline all the way, Martyn Waites' new novel wrests former investigative journalist Joe Donovan out of his reclusion in Newcastle. His heart broken by the disappearance of his six-year-old son two years earlier-a case that remains unsolved-he now finds his destiny entwined with that of the streetwise but vulnerable and frightened teenager Jamal. For on the minidisc, lifted by an unwitting Jamal, lies a crucial, increasingly perilous link to Donovan's past.

Unsettling and unpredictable, this taut, compelling page-turner of a novel delivers point-blank every unexpected narrative hit, twist, and turn as it leads Donovan finally to the terror of the mercy seat.

Martyn Waites is emerging as one of the leading writers of British noir fiction. The Mercy Seat is his first American release. He lives in Newcastle.

EXCELLENT WORK.......2006-08-11

Just ignore that Jerry Guy's review he is a nob

The Mercy Seat is the best Thriller Debut this year

John Wiffler

Almost, Not Quite, Top Drawer Brit Thriller Noir!.......2006-06-10

As a non-stop hard hitting, realistic, and action packed thriller set in present day England, this is probably hard to beat. A really burnt out, even suicidal, ex-newsman becomes involved with about every crooked low life type that one may imagine, from bad cops to child molesters, and sadistic killers. Great descriptions of England's seamy urban side, and a really motley assortment of personages, mostly bad, make this a solid US debut! Thankfully, most of the gruesomeness and perversions are not described in detail, another feather in the cap of the author. Only four stars because, some of the characters and situations become almost cartoon-like, and an editor could have cut down on some repetitive phrases like "He Smiled", which are way over-done.

Very Compelling Start.......2006-05-22

Martyn Waites' The Mercy Seat is a thrillingly ugly portrayal of a big city's underbelly--full of crime, abandoned children, thugs, lawyers, etc. A 14-year-old rent boy steals a mini-disc player; and when he listens to the mini-disc that happened to be inside the player, he realizes he's stumbled onto something very important. Some people are dying over the contents of this disc, and some good guys are trying to figure out the who, what, and why of the crimes described on the disc.

Yes, some of the characters are a bit formulaic. Yes, there's a lot of sick violence. But it really lends verisimilitude to the bleak landscape Waites want us to believe is real. I was convinced!

The story is a little too long; but the author has put enough thought into the subplots and supporting characters so that they do not sink the story. They may weigh it down a bit, but you won't be sorry you picked up this scary and sometimes horrifying thriller. I will definitely read any other of Martyn Waites' novels I can get my hands on.

Not exactly a tasty neo-noir or noir treat.......2006-05-10

Noir is supposed to be "crime fiction featuring hard-boiled cynical characters and bleak sleazy settings". Neo-noir is defined as " the modern trend of incorporating aspects of film noir into films of other genres," with the note that "the term can be applied to other works of fiction that incorporate these elements".

The dustjacket proclaims Martyn Waites as "one of the major talents in neo-noir." I'd argue both the designation as a major talent and that his work is neo-noir. At page 174 of this 421 page yawner, I asked myself why I continued to read it. It is dull, cliched and becomes increasingly predictable.

Author Waites obviously believes that if he makes his characters hardboiled and cynical and sets them in sleazy surroundings, all will be well. Forgotten in this formulation is that the characters have to be interesting and, ideally, believable and the plot has to be capable of involving the reader.

Waites fails on both counts here and more.

The book opens with the torture of Tosher in a dark, dirt-streaked warehouse. Three men are torturing Tosher, one of them having a "muscle-pumped, steroid-assisted" body. He likes driving nails through limbs using his fist as a hammer. Oh my. Then Tosher is lost to us for 300 or so pages.

Everything in "The Mercy Seat" is formulaic. Each character has a tortured past that they can barely cope with. Joe Donovan, once a crack investigative reporter, is a broken man a few years after his six year old son was kidnapped and he lapsed into semi-alcoholism, his marriage and career consigned to the ash heap of history. Maria Bennett, his old editor, calls him back into harness to follow a story that she feels only Donovan can do. Jamal, a 14 year old male prostitute of mixed race, is a drug user and has a background that would make a social worker weep. One after another in an incredibly boring parade, Waites introduces us to his characters. Father Jack, a crook who claims to run a settlement house of some kind is actually a pimp and sexual molester. You could have predicted he would be described as enormously fat as well. Jeta Knight, a former police officer, now runs a private detective agency. Of course, because she is a woman and her partner an Asian homosexual male, their business is failing so they, on their own initiative, stake out Father Jack's brothel (which is, of course, protected by police and politicians) because the fame of their expose will make their security firm rich and famous. Huh?

Waites' cast of characters is lengthy, seemingly a rival to that of "War & Peace." Every one of them has enough problems to keep a Freudian therapist happy for decades. And not a one of them is actually interesting, much less believable.

All this is set in Newcastle, England . . . or at least in the sleazier parts of Newcastle. Guess that makes it noir. Lots of rain. Lots of dark shadows.

The story has Jamal stealing a mini-disc that contains a conversation between a reporter (who shows up dead) and a missing scientist. Donovan, his editor and the newspaper's lawyer try to get the mini-disc from Jamal. Father Jack has other plans. Jeta and Amar join the team. Blood and violence ensue. A corrupt cop has big plans. So does a saintly ex-convict, wrongly convicted of murder, and now compromised by the corrupt cop. And the sadist who likes to hammer nails with his fists is always running around hurting people, when he doesn't simply murder them.

Overall, there's really nothing interesting here. Not the characters. Not the plot. Sure the make-believe people who populate this novel are cynical and hard-boiled. But in a cliched way. The plot is like an all-stop commuter train: you'll know you'll get to the end of the line . . . eventually. It just seems like forever.

Martyn Waites should have shown mercy to the reader in "The Mercy Seat" by creating interesting characters and a believable plot. He didn't, so you can show mercy to yourself and not bother with this.

Jerry

Newcastle ain't that Bad.......2006-02-17

This was my first book by Martyn Waites. It's part of the popular Joe Donavan series and the book starts by coaxing Joe out of retirement. From the first few pages the book picks you up, throws you into the seat, and tells you to stay there. The book takes you on an intercity rollercoaster journey between Newcastle (incidently my home town)and London and introduces characters so believable that I'm convinced I've met a few of them. The story is first class and keeps you hanging on until you find out what happened to our hero's kidnapped son. (No I'm not gonna spoil it for you.)

But hey, Martyn! Newcastle aint that bad!

The Mercy Seat is a powerful novel, rich with biblical allusions and authoritative, haunting depictions of the landscape and life of the American West in the second half of the 19th century. The story begins as a young girl, Mattie, is called from sleep to help her father prepare for her family's flight from their Kentucky home, its pie safe and its oak bed frames. Reasons for their sudden departure are only slowly revealed and never completely explained.

The center of the evolving story is the conflict between Mattie's father and his brother. John Lodi is skilled in the art of blacksmithing and gun making; Fayette Lodi is anxious to use that skill to turn a profit for himself. Although the brothers travel west together and eventually settle in the same corner of Oklahoma in the valley of the San Bois Mountains, they have no shared ideas on how to create new lives for themselves or their families. Violence eventually erupts, but it goes beyond the two brothers to infect their wives, their children, and the very land they inhabit.

It is a story that mirrors that of Cain and Abel, yet its biblical echo is only one of the features which make this multilayered, beautifully crafted novel so enjoyable. There are hints of Faulkner, too, as Askew employs his technique of using a number of voices to tell the story: there is Mattie herself, mother before her time to her younger siblings, yet refusing to mature into a woman; there is Thula Henry, Choctaw woman who both understands Mattie's gifts and tries to exorcise her demons; and Grady Dewberry, loquacious son of John's employer recalling events that marked his childhood.

This is more than just a simple repositioning of the Snopes from Mississippi to Oklahoma, however. It is a vision of the settling of America with a deep and abiding appreciation for the combustible elements that participated in it. Evangelical preachers riding their circuits, Native Americans pushed farther and farther west, former slaves freed from their masters but not from prejudice, and white men on the run from the law of the more settled East, all figure prominently. Some patience is required as the central tragedy looms, but for the most part, the novel is poignant, gripping, and even heartbreaking. --K.A. Crouch

Book Description

Few first novels garner the kind of powerful praise awarded this epic story that takes place on the dusty, remorseless Oklahoma frontier, where two brothers are deadlocked in a furious rivalry. Fayette is an enterprising schemer hoping to cash in on his brother's talents as a gunsmith. John, determined not to repeat the crime that forced both families to flee their Kentucky homes, doggedly follows his tenacious brother west, while he watches his own family disintegrate. Wondrously told through the wary eyes of John's ten-year-old daughter, Mattie, whose gift of premonition proves to be both a blessing and a curse, The Mercy Seat resounds with the rhythms of the Old Testament even as it explores the mysteries of the Native American spirit world. Sharing Faulkner's understanding of the inescapable pull of family and history, and Cormac McCarthy's appreciation of the stark beauty of the American wilderness, Rilla Askew imbues this momentous work with her tremendous energy and emotional range. It is an extraordinary novel from a prodigious new talent.

Westward ho.......2003-03-11

The Mercy Seat is a rich novel, replete with biblical allusions and biblical themes. It vividly depicts life and the settling of the West during the second half of the 19th century as well as the eternal struggle of good over evil. It is a strong first novel. I found it difficult to get into at the beginning, and I found the ending unsatisfying. But for the most part, it is a gripping read.

The center of the evolving story is the conflict between brothers, recalling biblical struggles between Cain and Abel, Esau and Isaac, etc. John Lodi is a skilled craftsman in the art of gunmaking, and a man of his word; Lafayette [Fate] Lodi is a smooth talker, full of envy. Together they move their families to the San Bois Mountains of Oklahoma; but though they share physical struggles, they have no shared vision. The struggle between the brothers extends to their families, and their communities.

Askew has been compared to Faulkner, in that her themes stress the weight of family history and lore on our lives, our psyches. Additionally, Askew uses the technique of multiple voices in the exposition of the story: Mattie [daughter of John Lodi] is the main narrator, but also narrating portions are her mother, Demaris; Thula Henry, a Choctaw woman with a gift of healing; and several others.

This novel allows you to participate in the heavy cost of settling of America. You encounter: former slaves, still enslaved by prejudice; white men on the run from the law; Native Americans pushed from their homes; Evangelical preachers riding their circuits. You particpate in death, in hunger, in illness, in fear,in helping others to protect yourself, in honoring the miracle and struggle of life.

Enigmatic and cryptically mysterious.......2002-10-18

This book is particularly interesting to me since I tramped around the area of the country that serves as the territory of much of the work. There is a uniqueness of this geographical area, given it's kinship with the Indian Nations, early white settlers, and now modern Oklahoma Statehood that is illustrated in a way that captures the unusual and unique character of the people and land it describes.

I was hooked from page one!.......1999-09-01

I'm not sure if it's the harsh reality of conditions on the frontier of anything or that I felt pity for Mattie, but from page one I was along on the journey in the covered wagon. The moral struggles of survival versus ethics haunts me still and leaves me asking..."What would I do?"

An Absolute Snorer.......1999-07-10

Ugh...after slogging through 420 pages, the end result was that I didn't give a hoot about any of the characters and am furious that I wasted my time reading this!!!!

Too Long, Too Much Description of Surroundings.......1999-02-09

I understand this is a first time novel, and it was a good try, but this story could have been told in 250 pages, not 400. It would have been better if she spent more time in telling the story of the people, and less time describing every detail of the surroundings. The book drug on too long, too much of a good thing. I would have liked to see the character of Thula developed, and known more about what Matt thought, not just about what she did. I would not recommend this book, unless you have nothing else to read.

Book Description

Norman Dubie has one of the most radical imaginations in American letters.

Winner of the PEN Literary Award for Poetry, The Mercy Seat includes selections from each of Dubie's 17 previous volumes. Whether illuminating a common laborer or a legendary thinker, Dubie meets his subjects with utter compassion for their humanity and the dignity behind their creative work. In pursuit of the well-told story, his love of history is ever-present-though often he recreates his own.

"With its restoration of so many out-of-print poems and its addition of new works, The Mercy Seat was one of last year's most significant publications." -American Book Review

"The voices of Dubie's monologues are full of astonishing intimacy." -The Washington Post Book World

"And so poetry wins a few hearts.".......2002-01-04

"There's more to this life than we know," Norman Dubie observes in his poem, "A Grandfather's Last Lesson" (p. 103), a theme he has explored in his poetry for more than 34 years. Born in Vermont in 1945, Dubie is a graduate of the Iowa Writer's Workshop. He has been a poet at Arizona State University at least since the 1980s, when I was a student there, and he is a practicing Tibetan Buddhist. Although he has published twenty books of poetry since 1968, he has been curiously silent for the past decade. THE MERCY SEAT includes poems collected from seventeen of Dubie's previous books, and nearly 100 pages of new poetry. This 165-poem collection is divided into Dubie's 1967 to 1990 poetry (pp. 7-298), and his 1991 to 2001 poetry (pp. 299-398).

Dubie has been called a "poet's poet." Although he is not an easy poet, Dubie is one of our country's finest. His poetry is complex and dreamlike, painting a picture of life that is both wretched and blissful. His subjects range from Randall Jarrell (p. 18), Chekhov (p. 87), Thomas Hardy (p. 107), Coleridge (p. 148), Einstein (p. 150), Meister Eckart (p. 194), and Thomas Merton (p. 265), to a "dark cat" stalking fireflies, "sometimes falling/ On her back, sometimes her jaws working/ Very fast" (p. 17). Dubie's poetry is also rich in sensual imagery: "Later, in a dark room, both of us speckled, middle-aged, and soft/ I dragged my mouth like a snail's foot up your leg and body/ To your mouth. We both shivered" (p. 146). For anyone who appreciates poetry at the top of its form, THE MERCY SEAT should not be missed.

G. Merritt

essential.......2001-11-27

For anyone interested in poetry, not just contemporary poetry, but the history of poetry, this book is absolutely essential. Mercy Seat covers almost the entire span of Dubie's career. For whatever reason his first book, Alehouse Sonnets, is absent from this collection. Despite this the reader is given a very valuable gift.
Dubie speaks with a voice that is both ancient and new. It's as if he has always been here, yet just arrived. Beyond these comments though let the book speak for itself.

Book Description

If you are longing for a deeper understanding and appreciation of what the Lord has done for you and how he is continually ministering before the Father on your behalf, this book will reveal to your heart a new perspective of the Truth which He intended to share with His people from the time of Adam and Eve until today. This book does not reveal any new concepts of God's truth but directs the reader to reconsider in depth what God first spoke to His people through the eight covenants, the first principles of the oracles of God. God intended His covenants to be the superstructure of His church built upon the cornerstone, Jesus Christ. The present day church, the mystical body of Christ, needs once again to be made aware and receive the Glory which God intended to share with His people from the beginning, through the High Priestly ministry of Jesus Christ from the Mercy Seat at the right hand of the Father. Jesus Christ, a High Priest forever in the order of Melchizedek, without whose knowledge believers remain on milk and not the meat of the Word.

Book Description

At the Mercy Seat explores the relentlessness of mercy permeating the natural world, opening it to mystery. Whether the poems reclaim biblical stories or the voices of McCaslin's poetic progenitors, they are compelling and finely nuanced events leading to a contemplative being-in-the world.
