Opis produktu

Anne Enright was born in Dublin where she now lives and works. She has published two books of stories collected as Yesterdays Weather one book of nonfiction Making Babies and five novels including The Gathering which was the Irish Novel of the Year and won the Irish Fiction Award and the 2007 Man Booker Prize and The Forgotten Waltz which was awarded the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction. In 2015 she was appointed the first Laureate for Irish Fiction.First publication of a new collection of the Booker Prizewinners stories including those from her most recent hardback Taking Pictures.In Yesterdays Weather Booker Prizewinning author Anne Enright presents a series of deeply moving stories about women stirred bothered or fascinated by men they cannot understand or understand too well. Enrights characters are haunted by the ghosts of the lives they might have led lit by new flames old flames and flames that are guttering out. A womans one night stand is illuminated by dreams of a young boy on a cliff road anothers is thwarted by an swarm of somnolent bees. A pregnant woman is stuck in a slow lift with a tactile American stranger a naked mother changes a nappy in a hotel bedroom and waits for her husband to come back from the bar. This collection includes some of Enrights best loved stories as well as her latest works. These are sharp vivid tales of loss and yearning of surrender to responsibilities or to unexpected delight: all share the unsettling dislocated reality the subversive wit and awkward tenderness that have marked Anne Enright as one of our most thrillingly gifted writers.Enright deals beautifully with the modern world ... blood guts and heartstopping beautyAt the top of her form she is remarkableShockingly beautiful and painfully funnyThe quality of the writing should help to explain Enrights having won the 2007 Man Booker Prize ... single lines and paragraphs are so well crafted with such salty pleasantly brutal sensibility that these stories function like beguiling advertisements for Enrights novels. After sampling Taking Pictures those who like me have not yet read The Gathering will likely move her Man Booker winner nearer to the top of the pile beside the bedShes a sphinx an alchemist a literary witch who sticks a spell on you. Angela Carter and Ali Smith can do this too.... buy it read it it isnt realism its music
