...judges, muscle definition and mass symmetry were everything. But for most of the 5,000 Chinese spectators who jammed the sports coliseum in Shenzhen recently to see 46 female body builders compete, the appeal was far simpler: the ever so brief costumes that showed off more of the feminine form than the Chinese have ever before seen in public...
Among other things, Love Without Hope is about duty of care: society's, for strangers like Mrs. Shoddy who hover beyond town fringes; and the reader's, for a character worthy of compassion and completion. Despite seemingly absurdist and sardonic elements, the novel is simpler and less fanciful than Hall's previous ones.

The Mayan capital, including any great temple of the sort in the film, had mysteriously disappeared 700 years before the Spanish arrived. Moreover, although the Mayans probably engaged in some human sacrifice, there is no evidence that they practiced it on the industrial scale depicted in the movie For that, as the Guggenheim exhibit suggested...
