Amos Oz

Opis

Reality and fiction blend in an ingenious Rothian short novel from the celebrated author of 'A Tale of Love and Darkness' - witty but elegiac, playful and sexy but somehow deadly serious, it's about a bored writer who goes to a reading and has a brief sexual skirmish with a female reader. Or does he?

Recenzje

A master class in interlocking character sketches, and a fable on the themes of sex, death and writing pitched somewhere between the fictional universes of JM Coetzee and Milan Kundera Guardian
