Recenzii
If
this
blurb
were
a
movie
title
it
would
go
like
this:Threshold,
or,
how
I
learned
to
stop
worrying
(about
what
sort
of
novel
this
is)
and
love
the
narrator,
whose
brilliance
and
humour
on
drugs
and
literature,
sex
and
boredom
and
death,
leave
me
in
awe
The funniest novel I've read since January. Narrated by a globe-trotting Irish philosophy graduate, who muses on art and literature while high on mind-altering drugs, it's unashamedly navelgazing, slyly cosmopolitan and an absolute blast
My favourite book so far this year isThresholdby Rob Doyle. A very modern take on memoir, there are scenes that made me think, please God, let him have made this up, let it not have happened. But most of it did. It made me laugh out loud, wince, take lengthy showers and feel that I've barely lived
Not only the best work to date from a writer who gets better and better with each release, but also a unique, engrossing and strangely thrilling way to shake this new year into existence and make it tingle with promise
Not many books manage to expand your mind, do your head in and set you laughing out loud. This one does, and Doyle's words sing on the page
This sly tale told against its author takes the reader on a destabilising voyage of discovery and self-disgust . Each section of the book - cleverly masked as a tale told against its teller - blossoms critically in two or three directions . Whatever else it is,Thresholdis surely the record of a voyage - a book of experience in some quite old-fashioned, powerful sense
A book that casually vaporises the boundaries between autobiography, travelogue and philosophical/pharmacological exploration . If you fancy some Terence McKenna adventures in consciousness expansion, or Isherwood-esque exile in the most decadent cellars of Berlin, or down and out sojourns in Paris and London, step right up
Dead-pan satire - a cautionary tale of dissipation and drift; a masterclass in what not to do
His best book so far: riddling, irreverent and fearless ... Boundary-nudging fiction
Thresholdmight be one of many things. It's certainly an original piece of work
A wild, sleazy, drug-filled odyssey ... Doyle's maverick novel deserves the accolades coming its way
Dark, misanthropic, provocative; Doyle's writing really "goes there", and emerges triumphant
Threshold is dazzling. It confirms Rob Doyle's status as one of the most original and intelligent writers at work today
An extremely funny book, a novel that sends itself up mercilessly even as it is created. His best work to date
Thresholdis extraordinary, quite unlike anything I've read before. It's intimate, a revelation in the literal sense of that world, and yet it's full of curiosity ... It's fearless and challenging, inventive and compulsive, unique and utterly heartfelt. A book that will stay with me for a very long time. Masterful
Ecce homo! A highly original attempt to engage, formally, with Nietzsche's dangerous question: "how much truth can one mind [or novel] bear?"
Thresholdis Rob Doyle's best book yet, a thrilling mutation somewhere between novel, essay collection, report, travelogue and confession. Doyle is a Romantic wandering in the post-sublime, a zealot without a cause, and his is a journey you don't want to miss
Rob Doyle has outdone himself. I was buzzing after readingThreshold: it's the kind of work you have to come down from - playful, potent, lurid, moving and fearless. I'm sure it'll be bouncing around my head for a long time yet
This is the type of brilliant, maverick achievement that sets a (young) writer apart. Wonderfully readable and with a skein of black comedy running through it that serves to highlight the seriousness of Doyle's intent
A portrait of the artist as a youngish man, filtered through a sieve of refined prose . A modern-day odyssey of the roving mind
PRAISE FOR ROB DOYLE:'I'm quite overwhelmed ... tremendous . there's a formidable quality to the writing ... the ability to generate the shock that rare work gives the reader, not only in the pleasure and gratitude it engenders, but the serious business of the lines and engines of your own life finding answer and echo in another's art
These bleak, brilliant stories maintain the tradition of Swift and Joyce... Compelling
I'm tempted to quote Nietzsche back at Rob Doyle: he's not a writer - he is dynamite! Except - like Nietzsche - he's a tremendous writer too. And I have a suspicion that the author of this provocative and thrilling collection is going to get even better
Doyle plumbs the bleaker aspects of literary life with startling precision and candour
A tremendous talent. Every page fizzes with vitality
Full of booze, books, sex and despair yet, despite the bleakness of its stories, skewered as they are on broken hearts and broken artistic dreams, Doyle's cocky passion proves irresistible. He writes with the confidence of a literary giant . A series of heartening and humane interior struggles. Doyle is as good as everyone - from John Boyne to Colm Toibin - says he is
Doyle's fiction deals with life's major themes: sex, death, guilt, shame, the meaning of existence . Doyle's storytelling is compelling and engaging, suffused with wit, honesty and emotional intelligence
The mutinous fragments of Rob Doyle's fictions are bilious, provocative and unnervingly compelling
A world-class writer
Doyle displays a ludic sensibility . The stories are gleefully nihilistic . He has a gift for evoking the base and unpleasant aspects of life in vivid and visceral detail . It creates an almost hypnotic effect; a miasmic fictional space into which the reader slips
A compelling read
A fine debut. A rollicking good read. God may be dead, but a new literary star is born
For sheer bravery and for style, for its integrity of vision and for its uncompromising tone
A powerful, passionate and electrifying novel. Many writers try to recreate the traumas and anxieties of teenage years in fiction but very few manage it with as much conviction as Rob Doyle. The language is unflinching, the story uncompromising ... easily the most honest account of young Irish people for many years
A lament for the blank generation, the literary equivalent of the song from which it takes its name, Joy Division'sDecades. A powerful debut, maybe the first novel since Kevin Power'sBad Day in Blackrockto interrogate the dark side of the young Irish male's psyche
A portrait of a jilted generation . a brilliant Dublin novel and an exercise in honesty
Narrated with an appealing blend of wide-eyed curiosity and no-bullshit scepticism
