Kleinzeit de Russell Hoban

Kleinzeit: Penguin Modern Classics

Autor Russell Hoban
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 mar 2021
'An original ... a delight to read'The Times

On an ordinary day in a strangely unfamiliar London, Kleinzeit is fired from his advertising job and told he must go to hospital with a skewed hypotenuse. There on Ward A4, he falls in love with the divine, rosy-cheeked Sister and is sent spinning into a quest involving, among other things, a glockenspiel, sheets of yellow paper, Orpheus, the Underground and that dirty chimpanzee, Death.

'Kleinzeit, is a sort of holy fool, a fierce, lonely intelligence desperately trying to make sense of a hopeless world. A tour de force ... entirely delightful' Auberon Waugh,Evening Standard

Notă biografică

On his death in 2011,The TimesdescribedRussell Hobanas 'perhaps the most consistently strange writer of the late 20th century'. He thought and wrote in an extraordinary range of genres, becoming first a bestselling writer of children's books, particularly the immortalFrancesstories and his first novel,The Mouse and His Child(1968). After its publication he continued to write for children (most notably perhaps theCaptain Najorkbooks with Quentin Blake andThe Marzipan Pig), but focussed most of his energies on a sequence of wonderful novels, which began withThe Lion of Boaz-Jachin and Jachin-Boaz(1973) and ended withAngelica Lost and Found(2010). He also wrote the libretto for Harrison Birtwistle's operaThe Second Mrs Kong(1994).

His novels were wildly various, but share his obsession with objects, animals, specific works of art and pieces of music, his love of words and sense of humour. Penguin Modern Classics publishes his first eight novels:The Lion of Boaz-Jachin and Jachin-Boaz,Kleinzeit,Turtle Diary,Riddley Walker,Pilgermann,The Medusa Frequency,FremderandMr Rinyo-Clacton's Offer.

Recenzii

A very funny quest for creativity and sanity ... There are no boring sentences in a Hoban novel.
Russell Hoban is one of our greatest, timeless novelists.
Masterly ... a mosaic in which each tiny fragment of wit or dirt or profundity has its appointed place.
A second tour-de-force... entirely delightful.
Brimming with humanity and humour... brilliant handling of language.
Russell Hoban is our Ur-novelist, a maverick voice that is like no other.
