Carregando... Death and the Seasidede Alison Moore
  
Ninja book club (6) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro.   ) LizzySiddal | Dec 27, 2022 |  The premise of the book and the idea of the story within a story were interesting to me, but this book just wasn't engaging. I felt as though it was centred around a protagonist who was quietly wrestling with a mundane sense of failure, and I just couldn't find myself invested in the outcome. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this title. (  ) emmy_of_spines | Sep 8, 2022 |  )1  oldblack | Jun 8, 2018 |
 Alison Moore’s debut novel The Lighthouse was shortlisted for The Man Booker, and Death and the Seaside has the same limpid prose with an ecstasy of detail. Metaphor unwraps metaphor in this Russian doll narrative..., Moore raises philosophical and psychological questions about suspension of disbelief and free will. Moore is cunning with literary conceits and motifs but the story remains absorbing and sharp. “A hidden world beneath the manifest one,” this short, elegant novel is a glimpse into the subconscious – like a lucid dream. Among many other things, Death and the Seaside is a novel about novels, a story about stories, a book-length critique of the role of reader and writer. One after effect of Bonnie’s degree is a lingering tendency to “see the real world in terms of narrative” with “stories and symbolism” everywhere. ..eath and the Seaside is a challenging book. Dense, complex, thought-provoking, it manages to be at once a fairytale and a philosophical treatise, high-octane thriller and literary interrogation. Like the dreams that haunt Bonnie’s night-times, it holds its secrets close, and repays careful rereading. The end of the novel, abrupt and death-haunted, feels as neat and tight as a key in a lock, and sheds light on the mysteries that have gone before. Schubert would be proud.
"With an abandoned degree behind her and a thirtieth birthday approaching, amateur writer Bonnie Falls moves out of her parents' home into a nearby flat. Her landlady, Sylvia Slythe, takes an interest in Bonnie, encouraging her to finish one of her stories, in which a young woman moves to the seaside, falling under strange influences. As summer approaches, Sylvia suggests to Bonnie that, as neither of them has anyone else to go on holiday with, they should go away together - to the seaside, perhaps. The new novel from the author of the Man Booker-shortlisted The Lighthouse is a tense exploration of obsession, manipulation, the influence of subliminal messaging, and the decay of the English shore. Shot through with a staggering and sinister psychological depth, Bonnie Falls and Sylvia Slythe will prove two of the most unforgettable characters in English-language fiction."-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
