Book Review:
Derek Owusu’s compassionate writing buoys novel ‘That Reminds Me’
CORY OLDWEILER
Star Tribune
Derek Owusu’s somber
debut, “That Reminds Me,” is
lightly autobiographical, like
much of today’s fiction.
The novel’s protagonist —
known as K — is raised, as
was Owusu, by white foster
parents in the English coun-
tryside, but moves back to
his biological family in Lon-
don, where he was born, and
explores his Ghanaian heri-
tage. The oppressive journey,
related in K’s fearless, often
disturbingly forthright voice,
conveys extraordinary pain
and unhappiness, eased only
by the beauty and compassion
of Owusu’s writing.
At K’s school in London, he
encounters racism in many
forms. He is told his “breath
smells like an African,” and
the first time he has a friend
over, the boy runs “back to tell
our class I was poor.” His rela-
tionship with his mother is
hot and cold, clouded by per-
sistent questions about why
she sent him “to be raised by
people whose lives were so dif-
ferent to our own, people she
didn’t even know.” His dad, a
“mouse-like miser of a man,”
makes only short visits.
When K’s father is around, he
hits the child, convincing K he
“must be a bad boy; [he] must
deserve it; [he] must have
done something wrong.” Vio-
lence — physical and psycho-
logical — is a constant for K.
His foster mother rubs a haba-
nero pepper on his face after
he lights a tissue on fire. And
when K and his white friends
are robbed, the nonwhite
thieves leave K alone, telling
him, “You’re safe. You don’t
need to worry.” The encounter
makes him believe “’Bad boys’
weren’t just mindless men
morphed from the darkness,
but people like me.”
There are tender moments,
too, many involving K’s
younger brother, who takes
his first toddling steps toward
K. When K is 18, he is diag-
nosed with borderline per-
sonality disorder, the man-
ifestations of which he has
tried to cope with by drink-
ing to excess and cutting him-
self — “an appeasement to
the me who salivates at my
life ending.” In a brutal pré-
cis of his many obstacles,
K writes of the razor blade
marks, “I’m told they’re beau-
tiful, described as battle scars
or assumed to be tribal marks
by awed onlookers unable to
detangle their thinking from
two-dimensional tropes.”
The novel’s bite-sized chap-
ters, most of which run no
more than a page, are writ-
ten in first-person prose
filled with poetic flourishes.
Assonance is abundant (“the
scorch of her scorn”) and so
is gorgeous slant rhyme (“the
preserves on savoury hors
d’oeuvres”). Again and again,
sentences sing with K’s frisky
wordplay, as when he spies
what turns out to be a mouse:
“No sparrow had swooped in,
stepped in stately with sandy
feet, so I was sure what I saw
came from wherever deities
defined as outdoors.”
Literary fiction often trav-
els through bleak terrain, and
“That Reminds Me” mostly
lives there. It helps immensely
to have a guide with Owusu’s
assured talent.

Movie Review:
Funny, profound 'Asteroid City' feels like movie of the summer
KATIE WALSH
Tribune News Service
The Southwest meets the
celestial — and the stage —
in Wes Anderson’s latest ditty
“Asteroid City,” in which the
auteur brings his singular blend
of melancholy charm to a story
about the stars, of all kinds.
Set in September 1955 in a tiny
desert town known as Aster-
oid City (where the Arid Plains
Asteroid touched down), the
main plot takes place over the
course of a week in which a mot-
ley crew who has descended on
the town for the Asteroid Day
and Junior Stargazer celebra-
tions finds themselves unex-
pectedly stranded.
But the film itself is much
more than that. Much like his
previous outing, “The French
Dispatch,” Anderson deploys
a somewhat fussy, and slightly
distancing framing device. The
action that unfolds in Aster-
oid City is a play written by
Conrad Earp (Edward Nor-
ton), directed by Schubert
Green (Adrien Brody), and this
is a televised staging (the TV
broadcast is shot in black and
white). The host (Bryan Cran-
ston) walks the double audi-
ence through the behind-the-
scenes action: Conrad’s writ-
ing process, the unconventional
casting of Jones Hall ( Jason
Schwartzman) as the lead,
Augie Steenbeck. We see the
company performing improv
exercises in a famed acting stu-
dio, the process of convincing a
movie star to show up, and the
dramatic demise of the direc-
tor’s marriage.
Though we’re often pulled out
of the colorful Southwest Space
Age world of Asteroid City to
visit this artsy, bohemian New
York City theater world, the
dreamlike, surreal quality to the
theatrical framing is a neces-
sary foil to the arch perfection
of this shiny hamlet perched
upon the desert landscape.
If the actors are ruled by the
subconscious, their characters
are ruled by science. The town
is run with precise order by the
motel’s manager (Steve Carell),
and rigidly governed by military
protocol, enforced by General
Grif Gibson ( Jeffrey Wright). Dr.
Hickenlooper (Tilda Swinton)
encourages the visitors to share
in her enthusiasm for astro-
nomical events and their under-
lying mathematics. But after a
shocking alien encounter, the
town is placed under a gov-
ernment quarantine, extend-
ing the weekend trip to a week-
long odyssey of the mind, as all
is exposed under the clean des-
ert sun.
At the heart of this story is a
terrific Schwartzman as Hall-
as-Augie, a widower war pho-
tographer with his four chil-
dren in tow, and Midge (equally
great Scarlett Johansson) the
movie star mom of a Junior
Stargazer. Two “catastrophi-
cally wounded people,” while
everyone else watches the sky,
Augie and Midge only have eyes
for each other, gazing from their
respective bathroom windows.
They’re both obsessed with the
practice of their art — and they
make a fine pair, the discerning
photographer’s eye observing
the star who has become com-
fortable with her own visibility.
Their brainiac kids, Woodrow
( Jake Ryan) and Dinah (Grace
Edwards) strike up a budding
romance of their own behind
the lens of a telescope, observ-
ing stars of a different kind.
Naturally, the film is dense
with wordy witticisms, refer-
ential names and visual jokes,
but Anderson allows us to lin-
ger, a little, in his carefully
crafted design, which is not so
much a jewel box but more like
a diorama this time around.
Though we’re told this is a “play,”
it’s not filmed or presented as
a contained theatrical experi-
ence, but rather as an intensely
cinematic work, with a sen-
tient, even humorous camera
that reveals the space and char-
acters in leisurely pans and tex-
tured Kodak film.
There’s a sense of wonder, and
possibility, suffused through-
out “Asteroid City” that comes
from the melding of the scien-
tific and the subconscious, as
the group contends with the
life-altering questions that arise
from their encounter and sub-
sequent confinement: a young
religious school teacher (Maya
Hawke) fumbles her lessons
about the planets until she real-
izes that the folksy wisdom of a
cowboy (Rupert Friend) and a
sense of play can keep her teth-
ered to the Earth. A stern, griev-
ing father (Tom Hanks) finds
comfort in the otherworldly rit-
uals of his strange triplet grand-
daughters. Government offi-
cials abandon protocol in defer-
ence to forces beyond their con-
trol.
The funny and profound
“Asteroid City” feels like the
movie of the summer, eerily
tapping into the current news
about UFOs, while synthesizing
the retro pop styling of “Barbie”
with the atomic age anxiety of
“Oppenheimer.” It all leads back
to deeply existential queries
and conversations. Question-
ing, curiosity and yearning for (Photo: Focus Features)
