Recenzii
Blends
gnawing
tension
and
surging
tenderness
...
At
its
height,
Glass's
battlefield
prose
calls
to
mind
not
a
hospital
soap
but
the
literature
of
the
trenches.
This,
though,
is
a
trauma-generating
war
on
death
and
despair
fought
for
us
in
every
city,
every
day
A poetic novella by a writer who also works as a senior nurse in a major London hospital. Glass evokes the exhaustion and relentlessness of working long shifts, the pain, the bleeding and cracked skin that comes with endless hand scrubbing, and most poignantly, the grief of the bereaved, all in excruciating detail. There's a ghost story element too, which adds a lovely frisson to the proceedings
Touching ... What, Glass asks, do we expect from our caregivers, and how do we replay them for the burdens we lay on them?Rest and Be Thankfulis almost absurdly pertinent, and with its devastating close, the answers seem stark: we ask far too much, and for some there is no replenishment
The ward scenes, with their crystalline descriptions of the vertiginous business of care, exquisitely beat out the ceaseless rhythms of life on a hospital front line
Thrusts the reader into the pulse-raising fear, frenzy and relief of work in a paediatric intensive-care unit - the author's own specialism ... A battlefield atmosphere arises from Ms Glass's prose as she recounts the time-stopping teamwork that aims to preserve tiny, fragile lives
A sense of impending doom permeates Glass's gripping but disturbing second novel
PRAISE FORPEACH: 'The language is scintillating, the emotional heft remarkable
Unsettling, idiosyncratic and discomforting, as well as beingmoving and utterly absorbing. A bold, memorable novel -gripping, strange and utterly singular
Peachisshocking, revealing and deals with a subject most authors would shy away from.It is uncomfortable, worthy and brave .Glass deserves recognition for her bravery regarding both the topic and style
A daring novel
A visceral work
Animmensely talentedyoung writer ...Her fearlessness renews one's faith in the power of literature
Glass's commitment to the visceral is like nothing else I've read .Peachinhabits a strange, horror-story realm of the hyperreal, and Glass's vision goes a long way towards portraying an experience that's near-impossible to articulate
A dark poetic read that is a visceral in its telling. It'san extraordinary debut that we urge you to seek out
Agenre-defying and brilliantly surrealnovella ... Barely 100 pages, and somewhere between poetry and prose, this is a book to be devoured in a single sitting.Glass is an exciting new author to know
An impressive achievement .A truly original voice for the future
Through prose that islyrical, mythic and yet wonderfully clear,Peachexpounds on themes of good versus evil, and the base nature of desire, consumption and carnality . There is a spoken word vibrancy to Glass's prose
Powerfully felt, sinister, vivid
A gutsy, discomfiting experiment
A propulsive, unforgettable read that's impossible to shake
Choose wisely the moment when you pick upPeach; because once you doyou'll be unable to put it downuntil the very last sentence
Impossible to categorise,intimately weird and exhilaratingly bold,Peachshares literary DNA with Gertrude Stein, Hubert Selby Jr, and Eimear McBride, but Emma Glass's massive talent is all her own
Ferocious, startling, all-consuming ...it has changed the way I see the world
A work of genius.So lonesome and moving, so gruesome, wry, tender and plaintive. It is the newJane Eyre, and one wild, thrilling ride. Swallow it in one gulp, and carry a spare copy in your pocket.Always
