No inscriptions. 188 pages clean bright and tight. Playwright Arnold Wesker is also an accomplished writer of prose - a rare combination. Indeed when Love Letters on Blue Paper appeared in 1974, the New Statesman, finding the stories `finely sensitive' and `strongly humane', questioned whether it may be that `the kind of realism he's often sought is much more attainable through the generous particularities of prose fiction'. It is a fine point: what is clear is that Wesker's art communicates itself whatever the form, and this collection of stories can only be considered a triumph. He explores the delicacy that is exacted, the exasperation that is inevitable and the truths that emerge when youth and old age meet in `The Man Who Would Never Write Like Balzac'. He observes a young man in the throes of making the biggest decisions of his life while trying to cope with an irrepressible great-uncle who has come to town for Yom Kippur in `Said the Old Man to the Young Man'. He brings four people together at the perfect moment of their friendship - for all the discord of their lives - locked in fleeting harmony in `The Visit'. It was remarked in The Times Literary Supplement that Love Letters on Blue Paper left one `with a renewed awareness of Mr Wesker's admirable qualities as a human being'. That feeling is indistinguishably blended with one's impression of him as a gifted writer in this new collection. Size: 8vo. N° de réf. du vendeur 107470
