Recenzii
The Middlesteins had me from its very first pages
Family ties are anything but simple, and the joy of this book lies in Attenberg's merciless, tender, often brilliantly funny peeling back of the layers of history. Sublime.
Flows like double cream ... Like the best culinary confections, Attenberg's prose is complex, bitter as well as tender
Blazing, ferocious and greathearted ... The Middlesteins will blow you away
Attenberg makes her characters' thoughts - Richard and Benny in particular - seem utterly real, and her wry, observational humor often hits sideways rather than head-on ... [A] wonderfully messy and layered family portrait
The Middlesteins, the novel, is great literature: warm, tragic, funny and deeply, complexly, entirely human.
This gem of a book is swift, moving and brutally honest, but it has a family-centric moral at its heart: Without family, we are nothing.
Attenberg is superb at mocking the cliches of middle-class life by giving them the slightest turn to make people suddenly real and wholly sympathetic.
Attenberg evokes memorable moments of authentic sadness and tenderness while thoughtfully and comically examining the question of what we inherit from our families. In the case of the Middlesteins, it is many things, including their sometimes-enduring love for each other.
Edie pulses with life no matter how close she seems to dying, and her character is emblematic of the tough compassion Attenberg exhibits throughout the novel.
The Middlesteins is a marvel.
The Middlesteins is an absolute pleasure.
Attenberg has the Tolstoyan gift for creating life on the page. Sometimes all she needs to capture a soul is a couple of sentences. But the pleasure she takes in these people goes beyond compassion...When Attenberg shows us the world through their eyes, they're not just interesting and sympathetic; they're a treat to be with.
A wonderfully messy and layered family portrait.
The Middlesteins is a tender, sad and funny look at a family and their mother. In fact, it's so readable, it's practically edible.
Throughout this poignant novel, the characters wrestle with two defining questions: What do we owe each other after a life together? What do we owe ourselves?
The Middlesteins masterfully reveals the emotional landscape of one family's unusual connections and disconnections - and allows the hope that different connections may take place. Just another quirky family story? Anything but.
Kinetic with hilarity and anguish, romance and fury, Attenberg's rapidly consumed yet nourishing novel anatomizes our insatiable hunger for love, meaning, and hope.
Jami Attenberg has a gift for making you sympathize with each and every one of her characters. The result is a rich family portrait that's sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes hilarious, and gripping all the way through. The Middlesteins are every bit as complex and contradictory as your family, or mine. I'm still thinking about them long after I turned the final page.
I couldn't help absolutely devouring The Middlesteins. This smorgasbord of a book about food, family, love, sex, and loss is like the Jewish The Corrections, yet menschier and with a heart-and it's hilarious! Also, it made me add more cinnamon to a pie I was baking. You'll understand why once you read it.
The Middlesteins is a truly original American novel, at once topical and universally timeless. Jami Attenberg has created a Midwestern Jewish family who are quintessentially familiar but fiercely, mordantly idiosyncratic. This novel will make you laugh, cry, cringe in recognition, and crave lamb-cumin noodles. This is a stunningly wonderful book.
A comedy of manners, its dark moments alleviated by small epiphanies and snatched moments of joy
Attenberg writes well, with economy and a welcome lack of sentimentality
Funny, eccentric ... warm and profound
Moving, hilarious
This epic tale of marriage, family and addiction is full of humour and heart
Superb ... a great storyteller
A complex confection, bittersweet and tender
Superb ... Attenberg is a great storyteller
