For You and Only You
Autor Caroline Kepnesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 apr 2024
Considerăm că For You And Only You continuă perfect linia de suspans psihologic din You Love Me, menținând acea tensiune insuportabilă unde dragostea se confundă periculos cu obsesia. Stilul are ceva din proza lui Caroline Kepnes, fără să fie o imitație — o energie malevolentă care transformă mediul academic de la Harvard într-un teren de vânătoare. Joe Goldberg s-a săturat să vândă cărți; acum vrea să le scrie. El caută validare într-o bursă de scriere creativă, dar se lovește de zidul privilegiilor colegilor săi. Aici apare Wonder. Ea este oglinda lui: fără diplomă, fără pretenții, doar pasiune pură pentru literatură. Apreciem cum autoarea construiește această conexiune aparent fragilă. Ritmul este febril. Propozițiile sunt tăioase. Joe decide că arta lui Wonder merită orice sacrificiu. Chiar și sânge pe străzile din Cambridge. În comparație cu Hidden Bodies, unde Joe fugea de trecut în Los Angeles, aici el încearcă activ să își construiască un viitor, dar metodele rămân la fel de letale. Caroline Kepnes folosește un umor negru, aproape cinic, pentru a demonta mitul geniului literar. Nu este doar un roman polițist; este o analiză acidă a mediului universitar de elită. Simțim cum pericolul crește cu fiecare pagină. Joe este gata să ucidă pentru finalul fericit pe care crede că îl merită.

Descriere scurtă
‘Joe Goldberg is my guilty pleasure, my strange addiction. If loving him is wrong, I don’t want to be right’ Erin Kelly
JOE GOLDBERG IS BACK, AND THIS TIME HE'S WRITING HIS OWN HAPPILY EVER AFTER . . .
Joe Goldberg is ready for a change. Instead of selling books, he’s writing them. And he’s off to a good start.
Invited to join a tight-knit writing fellowship at Harvard, Joe thinks he’s finally found a place where talent matters more than pedigree. Where anything is possible, even happy endings. At least until he meets his uber-privileged, already-published, already-distinguished peers.
Thankfully, Wonder enters the picture. They have so much in common: no college degrees, no pretensions, just a love for literature. They could be those rare literary soulmates who never fall prey to their demons. If only Wonder could just commit herself to the writing life.
But Joe has faith in Wonder. He will sacrifice his art for hers. And, if he must, he will kill her darlings for her.
With her trademark biting wit, Caroline Kepnes explores why vulnerable people bring out the worst in others as Joe sets out to make this small, elite world a fairer place. And if a little crimson runs in the streets of Cambridge, who can blame him? Love doesn’t conquer all. Often, it needs a little push.

Recenzii
‘Kepnes gleefully portrays the most back-stabbing seminar yet, dropping literary names with abandon as she twists the plot . . . Joe Goldberg might be a narcissistic, manipulative, murderous, utterly unreliable narrator, but he's damn entertaining’ -- Kirkus Review (starred review)
‘Within this intensity, [Joe's] snark-laden observations about ego, love, and loyalty ring true’ -- Booklist
‘Hypnotic and scary . . . totally original’ -- Stephen King
‘I will read anything she writes. . . . One of the smartest, most insightful writers out there’ -- Nicola Yoon
‘Delicious . . . It's Kepnes' wit and style that keep you coming back’ -- Lena Dunham
‘That peerless author who makes me laugh and glance over my shoulder on the very same page’ -- Jessica Knoll
‘I absolutely loved it. It’s completely addictive, razor-sharp writing from Kepnes. Internet creeping at its most darkly humorous. Joe’s back, and this time it’s definitely real love’ -- Catherine Steadman
‘As irresistible and as blisteringly acid as ever. Horrible and glorious’ -- Catriona Ward
‘Magnificent’ -- Guardian
‘Joe Goldberg has become a cultural mainstay. . . . Kepnes has mastered the likable villain’ -- Rolling Stone
‘Everyone's favorite stalker’ -- Entertainment Weekly
‘Chilling . . . dangerously clever’ -- USA Today
‘Beautifully crafted . . . will give you chills’ -- People
‘Caroline Kepnes must be some kind of storytelling sorcerer. How else can Joe Goldberg — stalker, creep, multiple-murderer, blamer of everyone else but himself, a “long overdue book, the one you never thought was coming” — be such an entertaining narrator? Even Tom Ripley, Patricia Highsmith’s famously amoral character (a clear inspiration for Kepnes), could be enjoyed at a third-person remove, unlike the in-your-face immediacy of Joe’s blinkered perspective . . . brilliant’ -- The New York Times Book Review
‘Kepnes waggishly satirizes the publishing industry, and her outsized characters’ egos and anxieties lay the foundations for delightfully deranged plot twists . . . Joe’s stream-of-consciousness narration engages throughout, rendering readers both confidante and accomplice. Kepnes reliably entertains’ -- Publishers Weekly
Descriere
New York Times bestselling author Caroline Kepnes, whose acclaimed YOU series inspired the hit show on Netflix, follows Joe Goldberg to the hallowed halls of Harvard, where he earns a coveted place in a writing fellowship . . . and leaves crimson in his wake.
Joe Goldberg is ready for a change. Instead of selling books, he’s writing them. And he’s off to a good start. Glenn Shoddy, an acclaimed literary author, recognizes Joe’s genius and invites him to join a tight-knit writing fellowship at Harvard. Finally, Joe will be in a place where talent matters more than pedigree . . . where intellect is the great equalizer and anything is possible. Even happy endings. Or so he thinks, until he meets his already-published, already-distinguished peers, who all seem to be cut from the same elitist cloth.
Thankfully, Wonder Parish enters the picture. They have so much in common. No college degrees, no pretensions, no stories from prep school or grad school. Just a love for literature. If only Wonder could commit herself to the writing life, they could be those rare literary soulmates who never fall prey to their demons. Wonder has a tendency to love, to covet, but Joe is a believer in the rule of fiction: If you want to write a book, you have to kill your darlings.
With her trademark satirical, biting wit, Caroline Kepnes explores why vulnerable people bring out the worst in others as Joe sets out to make this small, exclusive world a fairer place. And if a little crimson runs in the streets of Cambridge . . . who can blame him? Love doesn’t conquer all. Often, it needs a little push.
