Okruchy codzienności

by: Elizabeth Strout (author)

6.72 460

UWAGA! Książka ukazała się również pod tytułem „Olive Kitteridge”.

Książka nagrodzona Pulitzerem w 2009 roku. Autorka dołączyła do takich twórców jak Philip Roth, John Updike i Annie Proulx.

Nigdy nie przeprasza. Arogancka, silna i bezceremonialna. Taka z pozoru jest Olive Kitteridge, surowa nauczycielka matematyki, oschła żona, despotyczna matka. Z okruchów codziennych wydarzeń można jednak złożyć obraz niejednoznacznej, fascynującej osoby. Poprzez losy Olive i innych mieszkańców niewielkiego miasteczka na Wschodnim Wybrzeżu autorka buduje mikroświat ludzkich lęków i pragnień.
Prawda psychologiczna, mistrzowski warsztat i misternie skonstruowana narracja zjednały Elizabeth Strout uznanie zarówno krytyków, jak i czytelników.

This is a lovely collection and a depressing one. Strout is an excellent writer, with a great eye for nuance of character and feeling. But particularly in her short story collections, she seems drawn to quiet, deep sadness, to loneliness and unvoiced pain and marriages that fail their participants. ...

Olive Kitteridge is an extraordinary book. I had to read the first story quite a few times to get into the characters and get what Strout wanted to do here. The writing is gorgeous. It must have required considerable effort and discipline to compile the selection of related and yet unrelated stories...
