Okies | Dec 19, 2022 |   (  ) Jeff.Rosendahl | Sep 21, 2021 |  ) oldblack | Feb 27, 2020 |  ) Shaun_Hamill | Oct 10, 2019 | Klar wirkt sich diese Veröffentlichung auf das Leben aller Beteiligten aus - aber ist es wirklich dieses Buch, oder wären die Lebensentwürfe auch ansonsten ähnlich verlaufen? Leider sind die Personen größtenteils nur angerissen, v.a. die Kinder lernt man kaum kennen, baut lesend wenig Beziehung zu ihnen auf. Am ehesten kann man die Eltern verstehen, denn es wird schon deutlich, wie sehr Paul Roz liebt. Dass aber eine solche Liebe nicht unbedingt auf Gegenseitigkeit beruhen muss, erkennt man auch. Roz heiratet erneut und lebt mit ihrem neuen Partner länger glücklich, als sie mit Paul insgesamt zusammen war. Was aber soll uns das Buch sagen? Dass Elrtern keinen Sexratgeber schreiben sollen? Oder- wenn sie es schon tun- mit den Kindern angemessen darüber sprechen sollen? Das Buch liest sich gut- aber trotzdem ist es unbefriedigend. Was hätten John Irving oder Jonathan Franzen aus diesem Stoff gemacht! Aber da wäre das Thema auch eingebettet gewesen in eine ausgezeichnete Figurenzeichnung und weitere Entwicklungen, das fehlt mir hier ein wenig.

From the bestselling author of The Wife--Meg Wolitzer's "hilariously moving, sharply written novel" (USA TODAY), hailed by critics and loved by readers worldwide, with its "dead-on observations about sex, marriage, and the family ties that strangle and bind" (Cleveland Plain Dealer). Crackling with intelligence and humor, The Position is the masterful story of one extraordinary family at the hilarious height of the sexual revolution--and through the thirty-year hangover that followed. In 1975, Paul and Roz Mellow write a bestselling Joy of Sex-type book that mortifies their four school-aged children and ultimately changes the shape of the family forever. Thirty years later, as the now dispersed family members argue over whether to reissue the book, we follow the complicated lives of each of the grown children and their conflicts in love, work, marriage, parenting, and, of course, sex--all shadowed by the indelible specter of their highly sexualized parents. Insightful, panoramic, and compulsively readable, The Position is an American original. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Later. I did plod on, and although the idea in the novel is intriguing, it wasn't a book I had to pick up.
I see that The Position was written in 2010, 4 years before The Interesting, which I've already read. This novel reminded me a lot of The Interestings. The same kind of intense , unsentimental examination of the characters and their actions. (
