Przekleństwa niewinności

by: Jeffrey Eugenides (author)

Połowa lat 70. W zadbanym, podmiejskim domu, stojącym na wypielęgnowanym trawniku, wraz z rodzicami mieszkało 5 sióstr. Piękne, jasnowłose, niedostępne dziewczęta fascynowały okolicznych chłopców. Gdy najmłodsza z nich, trzynastoletnia Cecilia, popełnia samobójstwo, fascynacja chłopców pogłębia się. Jednak życie rodziny Lisbonów ulega diametralnej zmianie, ojciec izoluje dziewczyny, nie posyła ich do szkoły, nie pozwala na słuchanie płyt i spotkania z przyjaciółmi. Młodzi mężczyźni śledzą każdy ruch dziewcząt, zbierają przedmioty do nich należące, studiują pamiętnik Cecilii, szukają odpowiedzi na dręczące ich pytania. Z uwięzionymi potajemnie nawiązują kontakt, próbując zorganizować im ucieczkę z domu. Pomimo ich zaangażowania, siostry kolejno popełniają samobójstwo, a ich śmierć odciska swoje piętno na życiu młodych mężczyzn.

text The ones that got away

I really enjoyed this book, the second Eugenides I have read this season, and I was glad I did not hear about the "twist" (for lack of a better word) in The Virgin Suicides. I am not sure how I avoided hearing about it considering the book is now over 20 years old and has been hanging just on the pe...

text "The Vigin Suicides" by Jefferey Eugenides - a repulsive book that drained my will to listen

Normally, I finish the books I start, especially when, like this one, they are well written and well narrated. I made it half way through this put book and put it away in disgust. I didn't want any more of it in my head. This isn't because I felt too emotionally distraught by experiencing a nove...

I decided to reread this on a whim. Jeffrey Eugenides is one of my favorite authors. Every time I reread this I'm still blow away by the writing. Holy crap Jeffery Eugenides can tell a story.

text Review: The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides

Death is not a pleasant topic, and one which most people shy away from speaking or even thinking about. Death is so complete, so final, a great mystery. And we're all hurling towards it, this same fascinating, terrifying, inevitable unknown. Jeffrey Eugenides captures this beautifully in The Virgi...
