A propos de ce titre

Synopsis :

Book by Ferris Joshua

Revue de presse:

"Arresting, ground-shifting, beautiful and tragic. This is the book a new generation of writers will answer to. No one in America writes like this."―Gary Shteyngart, author of ABSURDISTAN and THE RUSSIAN DEBUTANTE'S HANDBOOK

"Audacious, risky and powerfully bleak, with the author's unflinching artistry its saving grace."― Kirkus Reviews

"Ferris imbues his story with a sense of foreboding, both for the physical world, in the grip of record-breaking temperatures, and for the vulnerable nuclear family and its slow unraveling. With its devastating metaphoric take on the yearning for connection and the struggles of commitment, Ferris brilliantly channels the suburban angst of Yates and Cheever for the new millennium."―Booklist, starred review

"Rich and profound."― Time

"Unfold[s] in a hushed, shadowed dimension located somewhere between myth and a David Mamet play."― Salon

"An unnerving portrait of a man stripped of civilization's defenses. Ferris's prose is brash, extravagant, and, near the end, chillingly beautiful."― The New Yorker

"Astonishing and compelling."― Very Short List

"Ferris puts his notable wit and observational ability aside in favor of a far more psychological (and ultimately physical) examination of the self. . . . an accomplished and daring work by a writer just now realizing what he is capable of creating."― The Los Angeles Times

"[Ferris is] a brilliant and funny observer."― The New York Times

"Ferris shows a talent for the grotesque in his riveting descriptions of Tim's decline. He also includes his specialty - scenes of juicy office intrigue. But what's most engrossing in his portrait of a couple locked in an extreme version of a familiar conflict - the desire to stay together versus an inexplicable yearning to walk away."― O Magazine
