A good short story has to be brief, with few characters, artistic jumps and artistic elisions (that make us think we are missing nothing). And, I believe, must contain a good swatch of poetry in its prose. If those are the paradigms, then Levy seems to makes it into the near-genius class., "Levy provides fragmentary glimpses into the fascinating lives of people at odds with their surroundings and profoundly disturbed by their previous experiences.

Synopsis
A dazzling collection--"elegantly conceived and executed" ( The Independent )--by the Man Booker Prize-shortlisted author of Swimming Home, whose pen "is a volatile weapon" ( The Guardian )., The stories in Black Vodka , by acclaimed author Deborah Levy, are perfectly formed worlds unto themselves, written in elegant yet economical prose. She is a master of the short story, exploring loneliness and belonging; violence and tenderness; the ephemeral and the solid; the grotesque and the beautiful; love and infidelity; and fluid identities national, cultural, and personal. In "Shining a Light," a woman's lost luggage is juxtaposed with far more serious losses. An icy woman seduces a broken man in "Vienna," and a man's empathy threatens to destroy him in "Stardust Nation." "Cave Girl" features a girl who wants to be a different kind of woman-she succeeds in a shocking way. A deformed man seeks beauty amid his angst in the title story. These are twenty-first century lives dissected with razor-sharp humor and curiosity. Published simultaneously with Things I Don't Want to Know: On Writing , Levy's stories will send you tumbling into a rabbit hole, and you won't be able to scramble out until long after you've turned the last page. "Deborah Levy showed she is a top-hitting novelist with a Man Booker Prize shortlist place for Swimming Home . Can she conquer the genre which demands she fashion perfect jewels? . . . Yes, Levy can do macro- and microcosm. These tales of unconventional love reinforce her reputation as a major contemporary writer who never pulls her punches." - The Independent

- f***k (38)- Opinie wystawione przez kupującego.Ostatni miesiącZakup potwierdzonyShipping was fast. The item arrived in perfect condition: not even a crease or dog ear. It was as described, wrapped in a layer of bubble wrap in a nice form fitting USPS box. This item seems to be very rare. I have seen it go for 5x as much in other places and even though it's the most expensive volume in my collection to date, I believe I got it at a bargain. Huge thanks once again to the seller. Now if I could just get the last 3 books and complete the set, I can die happy. Cheers.
