Normal People

Autor Sally Rooney
Notă:  3.00 · 3 note 
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 iun 2019

Descoperim în Normal People o melancolie profundă și o onestitate brutală care ne fac să simțim, mai mult decât să citim, parcursul a două destine împletite. Atmosfera este una de intimitate fragilă, unde tăcerile dintre Connell și Marianne cântăresc la fel de mult ca dialogul lor sclipitor. Premisa ne poartă dintr-un orășel irlandez, unde el este vedeta populară a echipei de fotbal, iar ea este o prezență solitară și mândră, până în amfiteatrele universității Trinity College din Dublin, unde rolurile sociale se inversează dramatic.

Considerăm că forța acestui roman rezidă în stilul minimalist al lui Sally Rooney, o scriitură care refuză ornamentele inutile pentru a lăsa loc nuanțelor psihologice. Pe același raft cu Conversations with Friends de Sally Rooney, această carte se distinge prin concentrarea aproape obsesivă pe evoluția personajelor în timp, oferind o perspectivă mai matură asupra modului în care ne modelăm unii pe alții. Dacă în Intermezzo autoarea explorează doliul și legăturile de familie sub presiune, în Normal People ea se apleacă asupra electricității primei iubiri și a modului în care clasa socială dictează, adesea invizibil, traiectoriile noastre.

Ritmul este unul contemplativ, dar fluid, capturând perfect sentimentul de derivă al generației mileniale. Nu este doar o poveste de dragoste, ci o analiză fină a puterii și a vulnerabilității, unde fiecare personaj încearcă să găsească un sens într-o lume dominată de capitalismul târziu și de așteptări sociale rigide.

Despre autor

Sally Rooney, născută în 1991, este o scriitoare și scenaristă irlandeză care a devenit rapid vocea definitorie a generației sale. Cu un palmares ce include Conversations with Friends și Beautiful World, Where Are You, Rooney este recunoscută pentru capacitatea de a diseca dinamica socială și politică prin prisma relațiilor intime. Succesul său critic este dublat de cel comercial, Normal People fiind adaptat într-un serial de televiziune premiat. Stilul său, adesea descris ca fiind precis și lipsit de artificii, a redefinit beletristica contemporană, plasând-o în centrul discuțiilor literare despre condiția milenială.


Descriere scurtă

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE - COMING TO HULU IN 2020 - SALLY ROONEY NAMED TO THE 2019 TIME 100 NEXT LIST"A stunning novel about the transformative power of relationships" (People) from the author of Conversations with Friends, "a master of the literary page-turner" (J. Courtney Sullivan). NAMED ONE OF ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY'S TEN BEST NOVELS OF THE DECADE - NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY AND ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York TImes Book Review - O: The Oprah Magazine - Time - The Washington Post - Vogue - Esquire - Glamour - Elle - Good Housekeeping - The Dallas Morning News - Kirkus Reviews - BookPage "Absolutely engrossing and surprisingly heartbreaking with more depth, subtlety, and insight than any one novel deserves."--Stephanie Danler Connell and Marianne grew up in the same small town, but the similarities end there. At school, Connell is popular and well liked, while Marianne is a loner. But when the two strike up a conversation--awkward but electrifying--something life changing begins. A year later, they're both studying at Trinity College in Dublin. Marianne has found her feet in a new social world while Connell hangs at the sidelines, shy and uncertain. Throughout their years at university, Marianne and Connell circle one another, straying toward other people and possibilities but always magnetically, irresistibly drawn back together. And as she veers into self-destruction and he begins to search for meaning elsewhere, each must confront how far they are willing to go to save the other. Normal People is the story of mutual fascination, friendship and love. It takes us from that first conversation to the years beyond, in the company of two people who try to stay apart but find that they can't.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE - "A stunning novel about the transformative power of relationships" (People) from Sally Rooney, the author of Conversations with Friends and "a master of the literary page-turner" (J. Courtney Sullivan).

COMING TO HULU IN 2020 - "Fresh and accessible . . . There is so much to say about Rooney's fiction--in my experience, when people who've read her meet they tend to peel off into corners to talk."--Dwight Garner, The New York Times

At school Connell and Marianne pretend not to know each other. He's popular and well-adjusted, star of the school football team, while she is lonely, proud, and intensely private. But when Connell comes to pick his mother up from her job at Marianne's house, a strange and indelible connection grows between the two teenagers--one they are determined to conceal. A year later, they're both studying at Trinity College in Dublin. Marianne has found her feet in a new social world while Connell hangs at the sidelines, shy and uncertain. Throughout their years at university, Marianne and Connell circle one another, straying toward other people and possibilities but always magnetically, irresistibly drawn back together. And as she veers into self-destruction and he begins to search for meaning elsewhere, each must confront how far they are willing to go to save the other. Sally Rooney brings her brilliant psychological acuity and perfectly spare prose to a story that explores the subtleties of class, the electricity of first love, and the complex entanglements of family and friendship.

Praise for Normal People "I went into a tunnel with this book and didn't want to come out. Absolutely engrossing and surprisingly heartbreaking with more depth, subtlety, and insight than any one novel deserves."--Stephanie Danler, author of Sweetbitter "Arguably the buzziest novel of the season, Sally Rooney's elegant sophomore effort . . . is a worthy successor to Conversations with Friends. Here, again, she unflinchingly explores class dynamics and young love with wit and nuance."--The Wall Street Journal, "12 Best Books of Spring" " Rooney] has been hailed as the first great millennial novelist for her stories of love and late capitalism. . . . She writes] some of the best dialogue I've read."--The New Yorker
