Body de Harry Crews

Body

Autor Harry Crews
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 apr 2027

Shereel Dupont wants to be at the top of the bodybuilding world. Formerly known as the secretary Dorothy Turnipseed, Shereel now trains rigorously at the behest of her boss-turned-personal-trainer Russell ('Muscle') Morgan to sculpt her body into taut muscles and bone. Her ascetic pursuit of physical glory leads her to the Blue Flamingo Hotel in Miami Beach, where Shereel is favoured to win the Ms. Cosmos bodybuilding championship - and all the endorsements and money that are sure to follow. But her foregone victory is endangered by the arrival of one family - her family, the Turnipseeds. The ragtag group's presence, in which they threaten and disturb bodybuilders and hotel workers alike, unsettles the chiseled competition and leaves Shereel at a crossroads. Is she really Shereel Dupont or Dorothy Turnipseed?

With his Southern Gothic storytelling, Crews identifies a complex and compelling portrait of discipline, obsession, power, and courage in the comic and absurd.

Notă biografică

Harry Crews (1935-2012) was born during the Great Depression in rural Georgia, USA. He is the author of seventeen novels and a memoir, often revolving around poor and disenfranchised characters from the Deep South. Crews taught creative writing at the University of Florida for nearly thirty years, mentoring and inspiring a generation of writers and gaining the reputation of a literary outsider and outlaw with a singular voice in American fiction. He is today considered a pillar of the Southern Gothic tradition.
