Too Cold for Snow

Autor JON GOWER
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2012
It all begins in a small town in Belgium near the French border, on the morning of the festival of St. Woelfred. There are dead fish scattered everywhere seemingly blown in by the wind. The lives of six people who live in the town are about to be changed forever. Journeys of self-discovery are experienced through the eyes of a magician, a writer, the town Casanova, a clairvoyant married to a drunk, a priest and a Rimbaud scholar; each seeking the answers to their individual tribulations. Despite their differences in status and occupation all characters follow a path towards recognition, whether it be of love, courage, rage, illusion or acceptance. Yet, the mystery behind the scattered fish remains unexplained. This is a story with magic and fish... and the lost poems of Rimbaud.

Recenzii

"Gower's tales possess a primal, almost savage formality that's far removed from the calmer precisions and interiority of the mitered short story. They are also exhilarating and lush and knowing and in all ways bespeak authenticity." --Richard Ford "Jon Gower's fiction is mad in the best possible way -- human, funny and startling. Too Cold for Snow takes familiar Welsh figures -- rugby players, miners, hill-farmers -- and transforms them into objects of delight, horror and revelation. I loved it." Deborah Kay Davies "A brilliant collection that gives you 'Jon Gower Relish' -- a relish for the adventure that is language, for the crazy and precious spark that is life." Tiffany Murray
