Inhaltsangabe
A collection of short stories about provincial life in the American Midwest and published for the first time in Britain. Powers, an American author with a reputation for being alert to the humour stored up in every human drama, and who lists among his admirers such literary figures as Evelyn Waugh, Flannery O'Connor and Anthony Burgess, has been described by Jonathan Raban as "one of the funniest, most socially exact, most heart rending and most thoroughly enjoyable writers alive". J.F. Powers lives in Minnesota, and is the award-winning author of "Prince of Darkness", "The Presence of Grace" and "Morte d'Urban". His new novel, "Wheat that springeth green" is published simultaneously by Chatto.

Look How the Fish Live

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: Good. Some books shout for attention. J. F. Powers, mercifully, preferred to mutter something devastating from the corner. Look How the Fish Live is a collection of stories from a writer who specialised in the grand drama of small disappointments: priests, parishes, old habits, awkward loyalties, shabby rooms, tired ambitions, and the quiet comedy of people trying to preserve dignity while life rearranges the furniture around them. Powers? world is not full of car chases, explosions, or people discovering ancient secrets beneath cathedrals. His cathedrals already have enough trouble with committees, personalities, budgets, and the deeply human business of being slightly ridiculous. The result is subtle, dry, observant fiction, full of sentences that look harmless until they politely remove a rib. This 1988 International Library edition is in good condition, which feels entirely appropriate for a book so alert to the imperfect, the lived-in, and the faintly worn. It is a copy with enough dignity to hold itself together and enough character not to pretend it has never seen a shelf. Ideal for readers who like literary fiction with wit, restraint, Catholic undertones, and the sort of irony that does not announce itself with a brass band. Look How the Fish Live is quiet, clever, humane, and gently lethal ? rather like being judged by someone who has already forgiven you. THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 6258
