Notă biografică
Richard Powers
Textul de pe ultima copertă
In
the
spring
of
1914,
renowned
photographer
August
Sander
took
a
photograph
of
three
young
men
on
their
way
to
a
country
dance.
This
haunting
image,
capturing
the
last
moments
of
innocence
on
the
brink
of
World
War
I,
provides
the
central
focus
of
Powers's
brilliant
and
compelling
novel.
As
the
fate
of
the
three
farmers
is
chronicled,
two
contemporary
stories
unfold.
The
young
narrator
becomes
obsessed
with
the
photo,
while
Peter
Mays,
a
computer
writer
in
Boston,
discovers
he
has
a
personal
link
with
it.
The
three
stories
connect
in
a
surprising
way
and
provide
the
reader
with
a
mystery
that
spans
a
century
of
brutality
and
progress.
Recenzii
"A scintillating, high-octane intellectual flight of fancy." — Newsday
"America's most ambitious novelist . . . No one who becomes immersed in [his] poetry will walk out the way he or she came in." — San Francisco Chronicle
"One of the few younger American writers who can stake a claim to the legacy of Pynchon, Gaddis, and DeLillo." — The Nation
"Powers hovers impossibly between extremes with a tightrope walker's perfect balance. He may be at once the smartest and the most warm-hearted novelist in America today." — Chicago Tribune
"Powers is a genuine artist, a thinker of rare synthetic gifts, maybe the only writer working—Pynchon and DeLillo excepted—who can render the intricate dazzle of it all and at the same time plumb its philosophical implications." — Esquire
