Forest Darktantalizes and compels ... This is as original and impressive a work of fiction as I have encountered in years; a welcome reminder of how a novel can be defiantly and brilliantly novel
This dazzling dual-narrative novel is a fascinating meditation on fiction itself .Forest Darkfinds Krauss at the top of her game. It is blazingly intelligent, elegantly written and a remarkable achievement
A richly layered masterpiece; creative, profound, insightful, deeply serious, effortlessly elegant, both human and humane. Krauss is a poet and a philosopher, and this latest work does what only the very best fiction can do - startles, challenges and enlightens the reader, while showing the familiar world anew . to get lost inForest Darkis to wonder. It is a pleasure and a privilege to read
A meditation on loss and transformation and an investigation of the mysteries of art and literature and family
Krauss writes with lyricism and mystery, but isn't above the odd cutting observational detail
Krauss is indeed a highly serious writer and also a very brilliant one . The prose is flawless ...Forest Darkis accomplished, generous and unabashedly serious
A brilliant novel. I am full of admiration
Forest Darkshares much in common with Philip Roth's writing. Philosophical and intellectual, it explores identity, culture and the connections between the individual and history
Krauss's elegant, provocative, and mesmerising novel is her best yet. Rich in profound insights and emotional resonance, it follows two characters on their paths to self-realisation . Nicole's conversations with Friedman and Epstein's with Klausner about God and the creation of the world are bracingly intellectual and metaphysical. Vivid, intelligent, and often humorous, this novel is a fascinating tour de force
This is a complex and rewarding novel that will linger long after you've reached the final page
She gives us a deft and mesmerising portrait of female midlife crisis and the desire to ground one's self in the world . impossible to put down
Nicole Krauss is always in control of the flow of ideas and allusions even as she evokes her two protagonists' increasingly feeble control over their own minds and sense of themselves. It is a remarkable accomplishment
From the internationally bestselling, double Orange Prize-shortlisted author Nicole Krauss comes this ambitious novel of astonishing precision and dexterity ... Psychology, theological history, metaphysics and Kafka collide in this beautiful, inventive and intellectual work of fiction that deserves literary-prize recognition
She is evidently a novelist to be taken seriously . a lot of intelligence and writing has gone into this novel'
Her magnificent fourth novel,Forest Dark, a gorgeously written, effortlessly artful imitation of life . One thing is certain, she has not played it safe:Forest Darkis a cerebral novel in which she takes breathtaking risks, questioning received ideas about faith and identity, featuring Freud and, most vividly, Franz Kafka
Forest Darkis the sort of intelligent, serious novel seldom written nowadays. Those shards of gleaming insight are well worth gathering up
Krauss's prose is stately, patient and watchful
She writes with true emotional acuity and tenderness
Crystal clear. A sharp provocative and compelling piece of writing that was worth the wait
Profound . The feelings Epstein and Nicole have about their lives and loves feel hard-earned and true
A vibrant tale of transformation . Bursting with life and humour, this is mesmerising narrative of self-realisation
Scattered moments of insight flash like broken glass in the sun
Krauss has a sharp understanding of how the desire to reinvent themselves can overwhelm people
Intelligent, witty and . always compelling

Textul de pe ultima copertă
In the wake of his parents’ deaths, his divorce from his wife of more than thirty years, and his retirement from the New York legal firm where he was a partner, Jules Epstein has felt an overwhelming need to give away everything he owns, alarming his children and perplexing the executor of his estate. With the last of his wealth, he travels to Israel in search of something he can create in memory of his parents. In Tel Aviv, he is sidetracked by an American rabbi planning a reunion for the descendants of King David who insists that Epstein is part of that storied dynastic line. He also meets the rabbi’s daughter, who convinces Epstein to become involved in her film about the life of David being shot in the desert.
But Epstein isn’t the only seeker embarking on a metaphysical journey that dissolves his sense of self, place, and history. Leaving her family in Brooklyn, a young, well-known novelist arrives at the Tel Aviv Hilton, where she has stayed every year since birth. Struggling to begin a new book, and troubled by a failing marriage, she hopes that the hotel can unlock a dimension of reality that has been closed off to her. But when she meets a retired literature professor who proposes a project she can’t turn down, she’s drawn into a mystery that alters her life in ways she could never have imagined.
