Malcolm

Autor James Purdy
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 mar 1995
Long out of print, James Purdy?s novel Malcolm, first published in 1959, established Purdy as ?one of the greatest writers produced in America during the past hundred years (Dame Edith Sitwell). Malcolm is the bizarre story of an innocent young man of ?exceptional beauty? who becomes involved in a series of comic and poignant adventures. Taken under the wing of a famous astrologer, an undertaker, a billionaire, a midget painter, a jazz queen, America?s foremost chanteuse, and a tattoo artist, among others, Malcolm is led endlessly from protector to protector in search of his missing father, until the journey itself becomes his undoing.

Recenzii

?I believe James Purdy is a writer of the highest rank in originality, insight and power, and if, in the Two Thousands, there is a grain of consciousness left among my dust, I will still believe it? Dorothy Parker ?Purdy may shock and offend some partisans of the well-trodden paths of fiction, but he will surely enchant the reader who values a new expression of new feeling and experience in our very new times? Tennessee Williams ?You wonder how this sank from sight, let alone avoided having a film made of it? Observer
