Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. More a poem than a novel. Really nice turns of phrase and a unique subject trapped in a crappy story about nothing told by a narrator who we have no reason to root for. The only emotional channel into Theo is his choice of pieces for the Aigues-Mortes program. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
"If Debussy and Robert Walser had collaborated on an opera, it would sound like this."--John Ashbery "The mad genius ofPale Fire with the florid outlaw sexuality of Jean Genet"--Kirkus Reviews For five years, concert pianist Theo Mangrove has been living at his family's home in East Kill, New York, recovering from a nervous breakdown that derailed his career, and attempting to relieve his relentless polysexual appetite in the company of male hustlers, random strangers, music students, his aunt, and occasionally his wife. As he prepares for a comeback recital in Aigues-Mortes, a walled medieval town in southern France, he becomes obsessed with the idea that the Italian circusstar Moira Orfei must join him there to perform alongside him. Extravagantly (and tragicomically) describing his hallucinatory plans in a series of twenty-five notebooks, he assembles an incantatory meditation on performance, failure, fame, decay, and delusion. A new edition of a "dazzlingly seductive" fever dream written in "brilliant poetic vernacular" (Bookforum) by a beloved poet and cultural critic, now with an introduction by Rachel Kushner.
