Recenzii
"An
imaginative
and
energetic
triumph.
What
you
hear
from
the
onset
ofApologize,
Apologize!is
the
delicious
sound
of
a
gifted
novelist
taking
flight
for
the
first
time.
Even
sitting
on
a
table
with
its
covers
closed,
Elizabeth
Kelly's
novel
seems
to
buck
and
heave
with
its
deliriously
talkative
and
unforgivingly
articulate
characters.
(Think
of
Dostoevsky
on
laughing
gas.)"—David
Gilmour,
author
of
THE
FILM
CLUB
and

FINE
NIGHT

GO
TO
CHINA
"A warm and wonderful tale with smart, sassy, yet gentle sensitivity. Elizabeth Kelly writes with an original rhythmic style that ushers us in as we turn the first page of this magnificent story of family ties, devotion, understanding and acceptance. I loved this book!"—Daryl Roth
"In this unflinching and funny debut, Elizabeth Kelly deftly paints her tale in alternating shades of lush whimsy and hard-won ferocity.Apologize, Apologize!reads as if Padgett Powell'sEdistohad a first cousin from New England who was wealthier, more eccentric, more gothic and more drunk."
—Mark Winegardner, author of Crooked River Burning and The Godfather Returns
"Listen up, readers . . . Meet the Flanagans, a quasifunctional family that might give Jonathan Franzen pause . . . Kelly is a clever, witty wordsmith with a penchant for apt if over-the-top metaphors that are laugh-out-loud funny."—Booklist
" By the age of twenty, Collie Flanagan, the protagonist of Elizabeth Kelly's splendid first novel,Apologize, Apologize!,has been tested by fate to the limit. The startling and painful wit of Collie's voice makes Holden Caulfield sound like a kindergartner, and lays waste to the acres of banalities and clichés that usually accompany stories about redemption. Rich with moral nuance and narrative surprise, this is a book as delightful as it is moving -in short, a magnificent debut. Ms. Kelly is a big talent and the book is deeply humane and subtle as well as wildly funny ."—Elizabeth Frank, author of Cheat and Charmer and winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Louise Bogan: A Portrait.
