Recenzii
"Stuart
Nadler
addresses
tradition,
but
he
captures
the
right-now
as
well
as
anybody.
He's
heart-breaking,
yet
he's
funny.
He
writes
beautifully,
tersely,
masterfully."—Darin

"A writer of keen perception and sensibility, Nadler describes the difficult thresholds that separate absence and presence, arrivals and departures, the sacred and profane, bright memory and dark nostalgia. His writing reminds me why I love to read."—Gina Ochsner, author ofThe Russian Dreambook of Colour and Flight
"Stuart Nadler is an artist of secrets. Line after line of clear, revealing prose turn out to be incendiary. These are stories that expand without warning. A striking, rousing collection of people waking up fast. Nothing inThe Book of Lifeis without consequence."—Rosecrans Baldwin, author ofYou Lost Me There
"InThe Book of Life, Stuart Nadler offers a fresh, funny, perceptive take on the current state of the Jewish family, including the families we make with our friends and lovers. Like Bernard Malamud, Nadler has a gift for comic/ironic dialogue and for setting thoroughly modern characters on a collision course with the distant past. A truly talented writer."—Sharon Pomerantz, author ofRich Boy
Stuart Nadler treats his characters like people.The Book of Lifeis a fitting title for this collection-that's what it's about: life. Here's a Chekovian fascination with the human condition-the pleasures and tortures of family, love, sex, money, work, religion. These are stories about fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, wives, husbands, friends, lovers-people with complex lives, troubled souls, deep hearts and messy desires. Nadler is a writer, who, like Alice Munro, John Cheever or Bernard Malamud, does not write about "ordinary people" because he knows there's no such thing as an ordinary person. Each of these carefully wrought stories is as moving and masterful as a Chopin sonata; the notes and the silences between them will resonate with the reader for a very long time after they're done.—Benjamin Hale, author ofThe Evolution of Bruno Littlemore
"Stuart Nadler has written seven of the most gorgeous, poignant, intricately crafted, and compulsively readable stories I have read in a long time. His flawed protagonists tend to be forever on the brink of heartbreak, yet the unlikely effect of Nadler's fiction is that life is continually reaffirmed."—Frederick Reiken, author ofDay for Night
