Críticas:
Praise for The More I Owe You "A moving novel of an illicit and impassioned relationship." --Kirkus "Sledge's cinematic novel is as lush and fecund as the jungle itself, with its innumerable fruits, ferns, and hidden dangers, leaving readers with the indelible image of a brilliant, tormented woman writing tirelessly through the tropic night by the light of a kerosene lamp . . . Strong and intoxicating." --Booklist "A novel of extraordinary beauty, intimacy, and such consummate tenderness for its complex Elizabeth that one wonders how Sledge managed to slide so close to her soul. A gorgeous meditation on enduring love, damage, and what it can be to be happy, for however brief a moment. Bravo, bravo, bravo." --Stacey D'Erasmo, author of The Sky Below "A beautiful dream of a book. Sumptuously detailed, deeply felt, it is as if Sledge slipped back in time and walked every step with Elizabeth Bishop, breathed every breath with her." --Alison Smith, author of Name All the Animals Praise for Mother and Son "[A] sensitive account." --Publishers Weekly "This book manages to be intimate and completely honest without being sentimental or self-indulgent. One of the finest examples of memoir I've ever read." --Chad LeJeune, author of The Worry Trap "Such affecting prose stays with us long after book's end." --The San Francisco Chronicle "Michael Sledge has created unforgettable scenes . . . he has been honest enough to allow us to see how a tiny aberration can spin a life into patterns no one dreamed of." --The New York Times Book Review "A courageous endeavor." --San Francisco Focus Magazine

Buchbeschreibung Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The author of the acclaimed memoir Mother and Son creates an intimate portrait of poet Elizabeth Bishop in this "sensitive and engrossing" debut novel (Publishers Weekly)."A portrait of the artist as a human-a woman of desire, contradiction, and need." -A. M. Homes, author of The Mistress's Daughter Artfully drawing from Elizabeth Bishop's lifelong correspondences and biography, The More I Owe You explores the modernist poet's intensely private world, including her life in Brazil and her relationship with her lover, the dazzling, aristocratic Lota de Macedo Soares.Despite their seemingly idyllic existence in Soares's glass house in the jungle, Bishop's lifelong battle with alcoholism rises to the surface. And as the sensuous landscape of Rio de Janeiro, the rhythms of the samba and the bossa nova, and the political turmoil of 1950's Brazil envelop Bishop, she enters a world she never expected to inhabit . . . A vivid imagining of the tumultuous relationship between two brilliant and artistic women, The More I Owe You reveals Elizabeth Bishop to be a literary genius who lived in conflict with herself, both as a writer and as a woman."Real-life poet Elizabeth Bishop is vividly and imaginatively portrayed in Sledge's debut novel. . . . Strong and intoxicating." -Booklist"A gorgeous meditation on enduring love, damage, and what it can be to be happy, for however brief a moment. Bravo, bravo, bravo." -Stacey D'Erasmo, author of The Sky Below"A beautiful dream of a book. Sumptuously detailed, deeply felt, it is as if Sledge slipped back in time and walked every step with Elizabeth Bishop, breathed every breath with her." -Alison Smith, author of Name All the Animals In this mesmerizing debut novel, Michael Sledge creates an intimate portrait of the beloved poet Elizabeth Bishop--of her life in Brazil and her relationship with her lover, the dazzling, aristocratic Lota de Macedo Soares. Sledge artfully draws from Bishop's lifelong correspondences and biography to imagine the poet's intensely private world, revealing the literary genius who lived in conflict with herself both as a writer and as a woman. A seemingly idyllic existence in Soares's glass house in the jungle gives way to the truth of Bishop's lifelong battle with alcoholism, as well as her eventual status as one of modernism's most prominent writers. Though connected to many of the most famous cultural and political figures of the era, Soares too is haunted by her own demons. As their secrets unfold, the sensuous landscape of Rio de Janeiro, the rhythms of the samba and the bossa nova, and the political turmoil of 1950s Brazil envelop Bishop in a world she never expected to inhabit. The More I Owe You is a vivid portrait of two brilliant women whose love for one another pushes them to accomplish enduring works of art.
