Recenzii
Jenny Zhang has an uncanny ability to articulate the most confusing, conflicting, elusive thoughts and feelings - the kinds that occur in under a millisecond but secretly rule our lives. It's dazzling to witness until one observation or line of dialogue sends you over the edge into the depths of another person's truth. I emerged from Sour Heart bleary-eyed and in love
Deliciously subverts conventions of "immigrant literature"
Obscene, beautiful, moving . Jenny Zhang's astounding short story collection, Sour Heart, combines ingenious and tightly controlled technical artistry with an unfettered emotional directness that frequently moves, within single sentences, from overwhelming beauty to abject pain
The writing is vibrant, the smells of the city vivid. Zhang's is an exciting voice and a welcome one
Zhang gives life to a chorus of voices rich with reinvention, a narrative genealogy of what it is to be, to speak and to write across many forms of expression at once
Swerves from off-kilter humour to quiet devastation
Zhang is a new name to me, but what a discovery! These interlinked stories follow the lives of young Chinese immigrants struggling to make sense of life in modern America. They are intense, unsettling, occasionally filthyand often wildly funny
A hilarious and highly original debut collection . With a voice that is relatable yet wonderfully original, Zhang explores themes of sexual awakening, identity, poverty and integrating as an immigrant in the western world . A collection where it is difficult to pick a stand-out story because each leaves such a mark
A refreshingly honest portrayal of some of the more universal realities of girlhood . That's what makes Zhang's work so remarkable: her unique ability to tell universal truths about what it means to belong, while illuminating realities we simply do not hear often enough about
A new voice for a generation - a hugely original debut short story collection . Zhang's writing is gritty, confronting and continually surprising - the bleakest moments are shot through with love and humour . the raw edge of Zhang's very necessary new voice had me gripped
Raw, and often darkly comic . the tales revel in the intimate details of domesticity, resonant of A M Homes or Helen Ellis
A tapestry of beautifully evocative stories
Who isn't anticipating this book? Jenny Zhang is one of the most exciting and thoroughly original new voices in American fiction, and Sour Heart is worth every bit of hype . Hilarious and devastating, tender, and mischievous. Zhang's beautiful, direct and sometimes scatological poetry (and her bang-on essays) had already won many of us over, but this book will catapult her to another league
The narrators of these tales pull you close and hold you hostage with their singular takes on the world . You'd be hard pressed to find a more intimate, raw and funny collection this summer
A buzz book
As I read, I quickly realized this was something so new and powerful that it would come to shape the world, not just the literary world, but what we know about reality. Zhang's version of honesty goes way past the familiar, with passages that burst into a bold, startling brilliance. Get ready
Her writing is resolute in its ability to unsettle and even uproot - lighting your every nerve on fire, leaving your every synapse flashing
Sour Heart blasts open the so-called 'immigrant narrative' by showing us the claustrophobic, cracked lives and demented love of families and by giving us the deepest x-ray of American childhood I can recall. Dirty, hilarious, and utterly original
