Notă biografică
On
his
death
in
2011,The
TimesdescribedRussell
Hobanas
'perhaps
the
most
consistently
strange
writer
of
the
late
20th
century'.
He
thought
and
wrote
in
an
extraordinary
range
of
genres,
becoming
first
a
bestselling
writer
of
children's
books,
particularly
the
immortalFrancesstories
and
his
first
novel,The
Mouse
and
His
Child(1968).
After
its
publication
he
continued
to
write
for
children
(most
notably
perhaps
theCaptain
Najorkbooks
with
Quentin
Blake
andThe
Marzipan
Pig),
but
focussed
most
of
his
energies
on
a
sequence
of
wonderful
novels,
which
began
withThe
Lion
of
Boaz-Jachin
and
Jachin-Boaz(1973)
and
ended
withAngelica
Lost
and
Found(2010).
He
also
wrote
the
libretto
for
Harrison
Birtwistle's
operaThe
Second
Mrs
Kong(1994).
His novels were wildly various, but share his obsession with objects, animals, specific works of art and pieces of music, his love of words and sense of humour. Penguin Modern Classics publishes his first eight novels:The Lion of Boaz-Jachin and Jachin-Boaz,Kleinzeit,Turtle Diary,Riddley Walker,Pilgermann,The Medusa Frequency,FremderandMr Rinyo-Clacton's Offer.

Recenzii
Russell
Hoban
has
brought
off
an
extraordinary
feat
of
imagination
and
of
style
...
funny,
terrible,
haunting
and
unsettling,
this
book
is
a
masterpiece.
You are syntactically and emotionally and politically absolutely in the book's spell. The way it changes is unbelievable; it is a living thing.
Extraordinary... a hero with Huck Finn's heart, lighting by El Greco and jokes by Punch and Judy... Fiercely imagined and intensely ponderable.
Suffused with melancholy and wonder, beautifully written,Riddley Walkeris a novel people will be reading for a long, long time.
This is what literature is meant to be.
The strongest, most desolate and bewildered voice in modern fiction. In the mental silence that followed the closing of the last page, I wanted to applaud, through tears.
The book has an evangelical effect on people ... Riddley is an absorbing character, Hoban's language has a fantastic, rough poetry and the post-apocalyptic world is chilling and convincing.
