Peace Talks
Autor Tim Finchen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 oct 2020
A small masterpiece of compression and containment, Peace Talks tells the story of one man's grief, the tribulations of the human heart, and our longing for peace.
Edvard Behrends is a highly regarded senior diplomat who has made his reputation as a mediator in international peace negotiations. In his latest post, he has been sent to a resort hotel in the Tyrol. High up on this mountain, the air is bright and clear. When he isn't working, Edvard reads, walks, listens to music. He confides in no one--no one but his wife Anna. Anna, whom he loves with all his heart; Anna, always present and yet forever absent.
Reminiscent of Robert Seethaler's work in its formal elegance and emotional heft, of Rachel Cusk's novels in the precision and tenacity of its prose, and of David Szalay's writing in its abiding preoccupations, Finch's new novel is a work of great depth, honesty, wit, beauty, and enduring importance.

Recenzii
A
shrewd
delight
A profound novel about human frailty . In its tone and minor-key approach,Peace Talksis reminiscent of the Julian Barnes ofLevels of Life, plus lashings of (duly credited) James Salter .Peace Talksturns out to be a moving and direct study of frailty , love and time, and luck and grief , of what is left when all the noise - of machination, violence and competing stories - is stripped away
A tender and elegant portrait of a grieving individual searching for personal and political peace
A feat of telling ... Masterfully rendered
As well as shining a light on the conflict resolution industry, Finch plays a canny game with our assumptions about the motives behind Anna's murder, in a smart tale slyly engineered to warn against the perils of nationalist tub-thumping
Tim Finch's elegant and wintry novel has something of the feel of early Kazuo Ishiguro, and a similar acute grasp of both character and situation ... In Behrends, Finch has created a narrator both open and opaque
Many news reporters have written novels, but this is one of the best. It combines Finch's understanding of international relations with a very human and touching story about love and loneliness . It has poetry in its bones . Its understanding of how individual human relationships, whether global or personal, govern every aspect of our loves makes it a profound and memorable read
