Lovers on All Saints' Day: Stories
Autor Juan Gabriel Vásquezen Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 iul 2016
"Lovers on All Saints' Day"is an emotional book that haunts, moves, and seduces. Juan Gabriel Vasquez, the brilliant novelist, now brings his keen eye and rich prose to the themes of love and memory in these seven powerful stories.
Vasquez achieves an extraordinary unity of emotion with these fragmented lives. A Colombian writer is witness to a murder that will mark him forever. A woman sits alone in her house, waiting for her husband to return from an expedition to find wood for their stove, while he lies in another woman s bed a few miles away, unable to heal the wound in his own marriage. In these stories, there are love affairs, revenge, troubled pasts, and tender moments that reveal a person s whole history in a few sentences.
Set in Europe (the scene of Vasquez s own self-imposed exile from Latin America) and never before available in English, this collection evokes a singular mood and a tone, and showcase Vasquez s hypnotic writing. Vasquez is a humane, deeply insightful writer, and these stories leave one feeling transformed from the experience of reading them, with a greater vision of humanity and society, a greater understanding of relationships and of love.
