Eva's Man
Autor Gayl Jonesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 oct 2020
the blood." -John Updike, The New Yorker Eva's Man is a gripping psychological portrait of a woman unable to love for fear of pain. Imprisoned for the bizarre murder of her lover, Eva Median Canada weaves together memory and fantasy to reveal a life tormented by the brutality of sexual abuse and emotional silence. Brilliantly experimenting with language, Jones infuses her graphic and powerful narrative of the triple yoke of race, class, and gender with a rich musical and oral idiom.

Recenzii
An American writer with a powerful sense of vital inheritance, of history in the blood
Corregidora was a small, fiercely concentrated story, harsh and perfectly told . . . Original, superbly imagined, nothing about the book was simple or easily digested. Out of the worn themes of miscegenation and diminishment, Gayl Jones excavated the disturbingly buried damage of racism. Eva's Man is a deepened exploration of the woman's inner life; of the pressures, the cruelties, the imposed expectations
Gayl Jones . . . accomplishes the almost impossible: a second novel that's every bit as intense, brutally honest and haunting as her first
Jones's writing powerfully blends narrative and lyricism. Her people speak a spare, lean, Southern black language . . . Her imagination seems to thrive on outstripping one's expectations
Gayl Jones's work remains essential and vital; I will be rereading her catalogue for the rest of my life
Gayl Jones is one furious, lacerating writer. You don't read her easily, and you can't forget her at all . . . Hyper-real and traumatic as this novel is, it's one that's been waiting to be written since Samuel Richardson gave us the male point of view of Clarissa, that other fallen woman whose only acceptable alternative to ravishment was death. Eva's silence, and her status here as legally insane, are eloquent testimony to the condition of being a woman in this man's world
