The Natashas

Autor Yelena Moskovich
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 ian 2019
Béatrice, a solitary young jazz singer from a genteel Parisian suburb, meets a mysterious woman named Polina. Polina visits her at night and whispers in her ear: 'There are people who leave their bodies and their bodies go on living without them. These people are named Natasha.'César, a lonely Mexican actor working in a call centre, receives the opportunity of a lifetime: a role as a serial killer on a French TV series. But as he prepares for the audition, he starts falling in love with the psychopath he is to play. Béatrice and César are drawn deeper into a city populated with visions and warnings, taunted by the chorusing of a group of young women, trapped in a windowless room, who all share the same name ... Natasha.A startlingly original novel that recalls the unsettling visual worlds of Cindy Sherman and David Lynch and the writing of Angela Carter and Haruki Murakami, The Natashas establishes Yelena Moskovich as one of the most exciting young writers of her generation.

Recenzii

A brave, original work... Moskovich's prose radiates with heat... written in a Cubist jumble of voices, languages, and textures, The Natashas reads as if one were spinning a radio dial of the world... [it] urges the reader to sink back in, connect, breathe.
Beautiful, original and distinctive - a stunning new voice
A surreal and distinctively written exploration of identity... wonderfully original.
A haunting, unknowable novel, and no less beguiling for that.
Confounding and beguiling in equal measure; prose that reads as heady yet ephemeral as smoke.
Feels like a feminist Murakami novel, transported to the jazz clubs of Paris ... The Natashas is an enjoyable breath of fresh air. It deserves to be big.
A hallucinatory torrent of imagery and ideas that moves entirely according to its own rules.
A surreal, unknowable novel, reminiscent of a David Lynch film.
