Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

His essays are a brilliant mixture of the selfish and the universal, the mundane and the profound. . . . This is a beautifully written book, profound, witty, and satisfying by turns. He is one of those writers who really does his best work when he lets his mind go wandering. Frankly, the best British author working today. --Joseph Brodsky Tim Parks's outstanding new collection is an elegant demonstration of the freedom and power of the essay form . . . [and] ranks among the most artful of seductions. Tim Parks s outstanding new collection is an elegant demonstration of the freedom and power of the essay form . . .

Reseña del editor:

In Adultery and Other Diversions, Tim Parks seeks, as he puts it, to "dramatize the intimate relation between reflections that are timeless and the ongoing story of our lives." He succeeds magnificently. Whether his focus is adultery, marriage, his relationship with his father, ghosts, his children, Italian soccer mania, or his work as a renowned writer and translator, Parks writes with astonishing clarity and intensity. He is one of a handful of writers who can capture the drama of our lives--erratic pulse and all--and offer a perspective by which that drama might be illuminated. Intimate, absorbing, unsparing but always compassionate, the thirteen "diversions" in Adultery and Other Diversions--three of which have appeared in The New Yorker--reflect the vagaries of the human heart and a brilliant writer's engagement with them.
