Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. 3.5 rounded up to 4 ( ) A trio of connected narratives. In the first, an English woman living in Barcelona has an affair with a male sex worker half her age. The second is a dissolving, dissociated, dive into the addled consciousness of a self-destructive alcoholic pianist that brings to mind the disorienting strangeness of The Insult. The third is a hallucinatory tale about an unearthly carpentry shop told by a lovelorn translator that has kind of Dead of Night vibe. Thomson is such an outstanding, unsettling writer. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
"Set in Barcelona in the years leading up to the financial crash of 2008, these poignant interlinked stories follow ordinary people whose lives will be changed forever. Like Robert Altman's film Short Cuts, Barcelona Dreaming is made up of three interconnected stories that are bound by time and place, and by the way characters weave in and out of them. A crime that remains unreported in one story has light shed on it in another. Exploring addiction, celebrity, racism, immigration, pornography, and self-delusion, Barcelona Dreaming has the feeling of a modern fable, underpinned by a longing for the inaccessible and a nostalgia for what is about to be lost"-- Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
