Recenzii
A mordant eco-thriller ... Boyle, who lives in California, has drawn zany satire from looming environmental catastrophe in previous works, but there's no denying that enhanced plausibility adds fresh layers of absurdism and melancholy to his latest novel
Darkly comic ... Could be a very influential book indeed
An accomplished family drama with a climate-crisis setting
Is climate change funny? Yes, in the brilliantly imaginative T. C. Boyle's hands, in a terrifying way. Blue Skies is both comic and wrenching . A black arrow of unimaginable horror shoots through the novel's centre and Boyle leads us to contemplate the "inexpressible sadness at the heart of everything" - and a morsel of the world's inexpressible beauty
Boyle writes with a youthful and sustained energy that parallels the zeal of his dreamers, and that ultimately attenuates their failures
Darkly ironic ... an expert blend of suspense, terror and, occasionally, very black humour
Less a novel about what might be done about the climate crisis and more an accomplished family drama with a climate-crisis setting ... Boyle doesn't offer his own clear answer. Maybe he doesn't need to. At this stage of the climate game, it shouldn't take much prodding to convince us that there's plenty of work to do if we don't want our own families to be forced to answer Boyle's thought problem
Satiric and provocative ... skewering a contemporary environmental standoff modeled on real life events
Always enjoyable, virtually incapable of dullness or slack sentences . His stories reveal truths about modern life while still feeling beautifully invented
You don't feel cheated, reading Boyle - while the head knows there's manipulation and artifice, the heart thumps
Boyle has a talent for describing events we may never experience with an arresting matter-of-factness. There is a thrill to this, and to not knowing where he will take us next
Boyle is a writer who chooses a large canvas and fills it to the edges
