Very funny and unexpected, a material response to our times, plush as velvet
Shelter in Placeis a poignant, funny, wonderful novel, a pleasure and a joy
I've long been a fan of David Leavitt's work, for its range, its depth, its smarts and its humour. He is a phenomenal and prescient writer
David Leavitt is a masterful writer and his dialogue, his innate sense of the rhythm of how people talk to each other, both in public and in private, is absolutely incredible. It's impossible not to be pulled into this novel, to see the epicentre of chaos in the lives of these characters, and listen to them try to talk themselves into a new imagining of the world. With precision and humour, Leavitt has created something amazing
Leavitt is a master stylist ... An important writer. He is the rarest of all birds - a man of letters
Utterly unpredictable and quite brilliant ... One of the major voices of contemporary fiction. Moving, ravishing and fiercely ambitious, this is a novel to treasure
A highly accomplished, urbane and satisfying novel

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'Very funny and unexpected, a material response to our times, plush as velvet' Rachel Cusk
'A wickedly funny and emotionally expansive novel' Jenny Offill
It is the Saturday after the 2016 presidential election, and in a plush weekend house in Connecticut, a group of New Yorkers has gathered to recover from what they consider the greatest political catastrophe of their lives. Liberal and like-minded, the friends have come to the countryside in the hope of restoring the bubble in which they have grown used to living.
Moving through her days accompanied by a carefully curated salon, Eva Lindquist is a generous hostess with an obsession for decorating. Yet when, in her avidity to secure shelter for herself, she persuades her husband to buy a grand if dilapidated apartment in Venice, she unwittingly sets off the chain of events that will propel him to venture outside the bubble and embark on an unexpected love affair.
A slyly comic look at the shelter industry, Shelter in Place is a novel about house and home, safety and freedom and the insidious ways in which political upheaval can undermine even the most seemingly impregnable foundations.
