Sunstroke and Other Stories de Tessa Hadley

Sunstroke and Other Stories

Autor Tessa Hadley
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 ian 2008

Discover this brooding collection of short stories from one of Britain's finest writers. A world where everyday life crackles with the electricity sparking between men and women, between parents and children, between friends.

A son confesses to his mother that he is cheating on his girlfriend; a student falls in love with her lecturer and embarks on an affair with a man in the pub who looks just like him. Young mothers pent-up in childcare dream treacherously of other possibilities; a boy becomes aware of the woman, a guest at his parents' holiday home, who is pressing up too close against him on the beach.

Hidden away inside the present, the past is explosive; the future can open unexpectedly out of any chance encounter; ordinary moments are illuminated with lightning flashes of dread or pleasure. These stories about family life are somehow undomesticated and dangerous.

'She is the writer we didn't know we were waiting for, until she arrived' Anne Enright, Guardian

Recenzii

"Tessa Hadley's gift as a writer is so considerable that her characters' revelations and predicaments linger in the mind long after her narrative has darted off in other directions."--Alice Traux, "The New York Times Book Review"
 
"A warm novel that follows the contours of four generations of a family and, in the end, shows us ourselves."--Associated Press on "Everything Will Be All Right"
 
"Marvelously intricate . . . Hadley's intelligence puts her in the company of Carol Shields and Doris Lessing."--"The Boston Globe "on" Accidents in the Home"
"Miraculous . . . Deft and resonant, [these stories] encapsulate moments of hope and humiliation in a kind of shorthand of different lives lived. Hadley never fails to surprise."--"The New York Times Book Review ""Tessa Hadley's gift as a writer is so considerable that her characters' revelations and predicaments linger in the mind long after her narrative has darted off in other directions."--Alice Traux, "The New York Times Book Review"
