À propos de ce produit
Product Information
Michel Faber is not only a master storyteller but a daring innovator as well. Here are the pitch-perfect prose, indelible characterizations, and deep empathy for which he has been highly acclaimed. Here also is a satirical streak that depicts individuals at uncanny and all-too-familiar turning points in their lives. The alienated find sanctuary in "The Safehouse," their histories and diagnoses written like endless ads on their T-shirts. In "Andy Comes Back," a man awakens after a five-year coma, only to flee his home. In "The Eyes of the Soul," perpetual televised beauty replaces the derelict view from a suburban picture window. In "Finesse," a dictator holds his surgeon s family hostage to the outcome of a risky operation. These sixteen stories move from unspeakable sadness through moments of exquisitely distilled happiness."

Freakish and deeply satisfying. Faber''s elaborately imagined stories often end at a moment of tension or ambivalence, underscoring his characters'' fragility and giving the book an uncanny coherence., In the 16 short stories collected here, Faber (The Crimson and the Petal, 2002) continues to demonstrate the full range of his talents. Most of the stories contain a fantastical or magical element that only serves to underline Faber''s disquieting take on alienation in modern society, and the effect is somewhat like an episode of The Twilight Zone as penned by Ian McEwan...Expertly crafted short fiction., Eccentrics, misfits, sociopaths and outright criminals populate the cosmopolitan (Dutch-born, now Scottish) author's sleek, disturbing, gruesomely funny short stories., PRAISE FOR VANILLA BRIGHT LIKE EMINEM "By turns crepuscular, buoyant, delicate, wry, horrific, and otherworldly, this worldly and organ-rupturingly funny collection is a vitamin boost for the short story." --David Mitchell, author of Cloud Atlas "Not only can he scare the bejesus out of you, he can make your heart swell" -- The Times (London), The mark of greatness in golf is the ability to play long ballandsink a chip shot. Apply the same measures to writing, and you begin to get a sense of Michel Faber''s talents. Vanilla Bright Like Eminem [is] a set of 16 stylish, harrowing stories that get off to running starts and have concise, cut-to-the-chase precision...Faber ranges widely among the mundane and the fantastic...but regardless of theme, a sense of empathatic understanding pervades all these tales., Eccentrics, misfits, sociopaths and outright criminals populate the cosmopolitan (Dutch-born, now Scottish) author''s sleek, disturbing, gruesomely funny short stories., A cunning, sui generis talent...Mr. Faber''s clinical detachment serves well the deprivations and frustrations of postindustrial near-manhood...[his] style provides the fun-houseunheimlichof an unedited newswire; comas and infanticide evince the same mannered anxiety as train rides and daydreams., The mark of greatness in golf is the ability to play long ball and sink a chip shot.
