The Girl on the Via Flaminia: Penguin Modern Classics
Autor Alfred Hayesen Limba Engleză Paperback – aug 2018
Rome, 1944. Robert is a lonely American soldier looking for a girl. Lisa is cold and hungry, obliged to seek work at Mamma Pulcini's house on the Via Flaminia. Their lives come together in what should be a simple exchange, a temporary arrangement without love or complication. But in a city broken by war, its people defeated, nothing is simple. Based on Alfred Hayes'own experiences of wartime Italy, this spare, searing novel exposes the dark complexities of the relationship between men and women, victor and vanquished.
'Hayes has done for bruised men what Jean Rhys does for bruised women, and they both write heartbreakingly beautiful sentences' Paul Bailey,Guardian
'Rings true as gold ... every single character in the book is sharp with the infallible stroke of art'Daily Mail

Recenzii
A
superb
short
novel
...
The
Hemingway
influence
is
clear,
but
Hayes
is
his
own
man,
a
master
of
irony
and
ambiguity
...
An
enthralling
narrative,
and
art
of
a
high
order
It is a bigger story than it seems to be, for it has implications that spread through the city and the world
Hayes has done for bruised men what Jean Rhys does for bruised women, and they both write heartbreakingly beautiful sentences
A sensitive and gorgeously wrought study of connections and misconnections, this masterpiece of the period perfectly captures a short, but unique, period in history
Hayes balances a bitter depiction of an unforgiving world with sympathy for the sad evasive manoeuvres of the human psyche... His novels perfectly capture the texture of midcentury American life ... His work must come back to us in all its brutal honesty
