Recenzii
Whipsmart ... Gosling's prose is ironic, honest and humorous in a postmodern collage of myth and modernity
A thrilling romp through contemporary Britain with an eye on its ancient past. Victoria Gosling's Bliss & Blunder manages to be simultaneously pacy, rich and formally adventurous
Bliss and Blunder, like the questing beast of legend, is many things at once; epic, sprawling yet intricate, it's a novel of action and intimacy, an astute critique of our technological era, a fitting homage to Arthurian myth, and a moving, highly original story in its own right.
Jaw-droppingly brilliant writing
Exquisitely written and structurally bold, this is a standout reimagining of the Arthurian cycle, where tech bros and hackers fight their battles and wield their powers with the same brutality as their mythic forebears. At once a driving revenge narrative, a meditation on love and a searing dissection of our ruling tech elite's troubling morals, Bliss & Blunder is a deeply impressive novel.
The vivid sensuality of a summer's day and the brutal compulsiveness of a battle march ... Playful, clever and romantic, like the best Arthurian myths, with something new and electrifying that is all Gosling's own. The women are wild, the tension is exhilarating, and the jokes are very, very funny.
Praise for Before the Ruins:'Engrossing, beguiling, and with an undertow of menace, Before the Ruins is a masterly debut from a richly talented author.'
Before the Ruins, Victoria Gosling's stunner of a debut novel, is rich with mystery and moral disorder. It put me in mind of Edward St. Aubyn and Donna Tart; dark, fierce, and totally addictive.
A clever retelling of the King Arthur story
A retelling of the Arthurian myth might sound like hard work, but this modern take is funny and fresh. Throw in a love triangle, blackmail and someone hellbent on revenge and you have a gripping read
This modern-day Arthurian retelling devoured me with its cleverness, great writing and sharp interpretation of the legend that felt both mythic and startlingly current.
Sharp and timely ... With granular detail, this well-researched work combines elements from the old story and brings them into contemporary focus in witty, original and illuminating fashion.
