Recenzii
The opening pages of Lost Memory of Skin are the most electrifying I've read in a while
Banks is one of the United States' bravest, most daring writers
Russell Banks tackles hard subjects with verve and courage, and Lost Memory of Skin takes us into the dark side of the dark side. Five stars.
The uncompromising moral voice of our time
If you've never read Russell Banks it's time you acquired the habit
Of the many writers working in the great tradition today, one of the best is Russell Banks.
We live in perilous, creepy times. We toy recklessly with brand-new capacities for ruination. We bring the most human impulses to the least human means of expressing them, and we may not see the damage we do until it becomes irrevocable. Mr. Banks, whose great works resonate with such heart and soul, brings his full narrative powers to bear on illuminating this still largely unexplored new terrain
Banks is one of those precious writers like Twain or Salinger who creates a voice so wonderfully real that the experience of reading them is like a conversation with an old friend
Like our living literary giants Toni Morrison and Thomas Pynchon, Russell Banks is a great writer wrestling with the hidden secrets and explosive realities of this country
I trust his portrait of America more than any other-the burden of it, the need for it, the hell of it.
Russell Banks's new novel is as haunting as its title. Lost Memory of Skin plumbs the shadowy sub-basement of American society, circa right now. This is Banks with all his stars out: the spring-loaded sentence, the searing moral clarity, the knowing heart. Lost Memory of Skin shows a living master at the height of his powers. It is a gripping and important book.
Russell Banks is a writer of extraordinary power.
A canonical book for our time
Always, Banks writes with trembling knowledge, conviction, and authenticity.
Russell Banks knows everything worth knowing...and much, much more.
Wrenching, panoramic ... suspenseful
Banks is too nuanced a writer to make his central character simply a study in victimhood, and the Kid isn't one for self-pity, which would smack of weakness. Yet there is more than a touch of "j'accuse" about the book. It points its finger at a society that has mistaken the easy gratification of the virtual world with reality, skin flicks for actual skin ... The novel sings brightest when it gives itself up to his guileless stream of consciousness, and is at its most persuasive and tender as it charts his growing self-awareness
Banks is one of the United States' bravest, most daring writers ... As well as being courageous, Banks is moralistic, an old style polemicist unafraid of portraying technology as a serpent in the garden ... The strength opf the book, as of Banks the writer, is an enduring belief in the grey area. Very little about this novel is black and white ... Banks can be angry and is often righteous, and there are elements of both in this novel. But his humanity shines through ... Yet again Russell Banks, as committed a commentator as Don DeLillo, looks to - and at - his country in a novel that is uncompromising on the subject of compromise. This is a tough book, raising uncomfortable issues. Banks is dogged and determined, a visionary realist who believes in testing fiction - and his readers. Here is an unsettling narrative that will leave one queasy and sheepish on the question of right and wrong and good and evil. It also testifies to the validity of story as both entertainment and polemic. There may, perhaps, be better novels, but few are as important or as cautionary
A superb prose-stylist

Textul de pe ultima copertă
After doing time for a liaison with an underage girl, the Kid is forbidden to live within 2,500 feet of anywhere children might gather. Barely beyond childhood himself, the Kid is in many ways an innocent, trapped by impulses and choices he struggles to comprehend. Enter the Professor, a man who has built his own life on secrets and lies. The two men forge a tentative partnership, but when the Professor's past resurfaces, the balance in the two men's relationship shifts. Suddenly, the Kid must reconsider all he has come to believe, and make a fateful choice when faced with a new kind of moral decision.
A mature and masterful work of contemporary fiction from one of our most accomplished storytellers, Lost Memory of Skin explores the zeitgeist of a troubled society where zero tolerance has erased any hope of subtlety and compassion—a society where isolating the offender has perhaps created a new kind of victim.
