Discipline

Autor Larissa Pham
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 ian 2026
When two people fall apart, who gets to tell their story?Christine is a young writer touring her debut novel - a thinly disguised tale of the affair she had with her professor ten years earlier. He was magnetic, domineering, both the sponsor of her early promise and its destroyer. But he surely forgot her long ago, and the temptation to exorcise her past was overwhelming.Then, between hotel rooms and bookstores, formal dinners and road-trip hook-ups, she receives a series of sly, unsettling emails and finally an invitation to visit the professor's isolated house on an island off the coast of Maine. Against her better judgement, Christine is drawn back into his orbit, risking forever losing control of the narrative she's worked so hard to create. Taut and provocative, Discipline walks the lines between creativity and control, truth and memory, coercion and desire.

Recenzii

A delicate, wry, taut, suspenseful reading experience, Discipline captivated me from beginning to end. Larissa Pham is an original, real talent
Lush and precise, Discipline reads like a taut thriller even though it is really an elegant exploration of creativity
With a clarity and crispness that gives the atmosphere of a thriller, Discipline braids life, art and the fictions we tell ourselves
Art bleeds into life in Larissa Pham's exhilarating, exquisite book, full of an eerie intelligence and startling compassion. A pitch-perfect novel
Discipline wrecked me in the best way. To say that it is brilliant is an understatement. This astonishing book changed me; I'm not the same person I was before I read it
The best book I read this year: intensely smart, evocative, and gorgeously written. Not only a gripping and suspenseful revenge story, Discipline is also a novel of ideas. It asks the hardest questions about art and death and the responsibilities we all have to one another.
Praise for Larissa Pham: 'Her gaze is ceaselessly empathetic, and it is this generosity that binds the reader to her quest for understanding. Even with all the pain of heartbreak... Pham manages to generate sincere hopefulness
A masterclass in emotional vulnerability... pivots between art and personal narrative with such dexterity that they begin to feel inseparable
Combines the thrilling and agonized travails of her young narrator with the lucid and steady eye of a born critic ... A bold and promising debut
Discipline is an amazing, sharp excoriation of so many things: damage, creativity, ambition and determination. It takes a scalpel to the underside of the artistic dream, where sordid relationships and burning desire to 'make it' collide in weird and counter-intuitive ways. As artists, sometimes our worst experiences are the making of us creatively. Larissa Pham understands the uneasy overlaps between public acclaim and public notoriety, personal humiliation and personal anger, worldly successes and worldly sins. Read it.
Discipline is a slim, potent page-turner, a slow-burning mystery and a meditation on the intermingling of art and life, love and revenge
