So yes, it is a book, a book by Cormac McCarthy. And no, I did not read English. But I prefer the English title.
But who is Cormac McCarthy? One of my favorite authors since I read Road. I'm also talking to you here but I can not find a ticket on this. I have dreamed of doing ...
This author has a special pen. She belongs to him. At first, it is surprising. As Road example, the dialogue is presented with a simple wrap. This may sound annoying but actually not ...
Similarly, very modern, these phrases are a series of actions tied together by "and". He opened his eyes and turned and turned on the light and put his feet down and put her shoes and stood up. Do not try this phrase is not in the book, she is of me to illustrate it. And during the first few pages, I thought: "Wow, it's not going êt'e a little boring, right?!". So I put away the book. I remember it was a Wednesday, on the train. Except that 5 minutes after that I itched to leave the building! This book makes a hitch ... Believe me.
As for the story itself, I have nothing to say because I already do not like about the stories of books but mainly because in this book, she is only secondary. It is only the instrument of the form. In any cases like this that I felt.
A funny little note though: McCarthy was born in 1933, as Philip Roth. And in this book, he tackles the theme of old age ( I do it on purpose, sir ... agent). Bah, he does better than Roth. He also talks about the usefulness of a Lifetime ( but I swear I really did not know! ) and weight of our actions with a simplicity that touched me deeply.
"It will eventually wear Ed Tom. All the time you spend trying to regain what took you there is still some more things that you spin between your fingers." All that to ultimately realize (or we already knew?) That "(...) still some things are more expensive they are worth .
And after that? I wanted to acquire other books by Cormac McCarthy. Bah, j'n'en not find: (Nothing to library galleries. Nothing on Price Minister (except in English ...).
disappointment, I then acquired: No Smoking Will Self, I spit everything Jay McInerney, The time is rapidly aging of Tabucchi and other We Stéphane Audeguy. Besides the books I read now: The water torture Percival Everett (borrowed from the library of the EC and I regret not having bought) and the good novel by Laurence Cosse (the first being my book train and my second favorite book. The roles are interchangeable, however, depending on the mood).
That ... so you know what I mean the next time I would take the time to speak;)
Here: vikend good!
