A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"A risky, cheeky and unforgettable tour de force... Millet writes beautifully, and almost every page has a quotable line... Oh Pure and Radiant Heart is a melancholy account of how men, and cultures, go wrong, and a love story about trust and persistence. It is shocking, hilarious and meaningful. More please" (Scotsman)

"Subversive, shocking, pertinent... Combining the personal and the political... A sweeping tour de force" (Esquire)

"Possesses the nervy irreverence of Kurt Vonnegut and Joseph Heller... Genius" (Vanity Fair)

"One of my favourite contemporary American writers, Millet never repeats a trick and has invented more than a few" (Jonathan Lethem)

"A risky, cheeky and unforgettable tour de force... It is shocking, hilarious and meaningful. More please" (Stuart Kelly Scotland on Sunday)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

At the moment of history’s first nuclear explosion, physicists J. Robert Oppenheimer,Enrico Fermi and Leo Szilard are displaced to contemporary America where they are taken in by Ann, a reference librarian, and her husband, Ben.Stunned by the evidence of their legacy, the scientists begin a ramshackle pilgrimage for nuclear disarmament while Ann and Ben struggle with the strain on their marriage, threatened by the ghostly men of the Manhattan Project. Oh Pure and Radiant Heart is heroic and mischievious, a sweeping apocalyptic fable marrying the personal to the political and confronting the longing for immortality with the desire for redemption.
