Lurid & Cute
Autor Adam Thirlwellen Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 apr 2016
The narrator of "Lurid & Cute"] may be Thirlwell s best creation yet. Andrew Ervin, "The New York Times Book Review" (Editors Choice)
"Lurid & Cute" is a simple story of mayhem and ennui, almost a caper, but told with such satisfying ironies and verbal dexterity that everything is Technicolor again. So alive, so inventive, so very good. Joshua Ferris
"Lurid & Cute" takes place in the suburbs of a giant city, where our narrator lives at home with his parents, together with his wife and dog. He has had a good education and, until recently, a good job. But then the lurid overtakes him and whether this transformation is caused by our hero s present unemployment, or his feelings for a girl who is not his wife, or the return of his old friend Hiro, it s hard to say. What s definite is that it sets off a chain of events that feels, to those inside it, narcotic and neurotic, like one long and terrible descent complete with lies, deceit, and chicanery: one orgy, one brothel, and a series of firearms disputes."
