"The year's most exciting fiction debut . . . A book that is truly that great, rare thing: a wholly inhabitable universe, reflecting back our lives while also offering an exhilarating escape from them." --Rolling Stone "City on Fire is a spectacular debut." --Emily St. John Mandel, author of Station Eleven "City on Fire is a big, stunning first novel and an amazing virtual reality machine, whisking us back to New York City in the 1970s with bravura swagger and style and heart . . . The ghosts of New York memorialized by earlier writers--F. Scott Fitzgerald, J. D. Salinger, Richard Price--hover over City on Fire. At the same time, the novel's ambition and Dickensian storytelling ardor will remind many readers of Donna Tartt's dazzling The Goldfinch, while its fuel-injected prose and nimble stacking of plot complications will recall for others Martin Amis's classic portrait of Gotham in Money. But this novel is defiantly and indelibly Hallberg's own: a symphonic epic that reaches a crashing crescendo during the blackout of July 13, 1977 . . . [In] Hallberg's XXL tool kit as a storyteller: a love of language and the handsprings he can make it perform; a bone-deep knowledge of his characters' inner lives that's as unerring as that of the young Salinger; an instinctive gift for spinning suspense. He also possesses a journalistic eye for those telling details that can trigger memories of the reader's own like small Proustian grenades . . . A novel of head-snapping ambition and heart-stopping power--a novel that attests to its young author's boundless and unflagging talents." --Michiko Kakutani, New York Times„Über diesen Titel“ kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.
