NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS / LOCKWOOD, PATRICIA

Título : NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: LOCKWOOD, PATRICIA, Autor Editorial: NEW YORK : RIVERHEAD BOOKS Fecha de publicación: 2021 Número de páginas: 210p ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-593-18958-0 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: FICTION  HUMOR  FAMILY Resumen: As this urgent, genre-defying book opens, a woman who has recently been elevated to prominence for her social media posts travels around the world to meet her adoring fans. She is overwhelmed by navigating the new language and etiquette of what she terms "the portal," where she grapples with an unshakable conviction that a vast chorus of voices is now dictating her thoughts. When existential threats - from climate change and economic precariousness to the rise of an unnamed dictator and an epidemic of loneliness - begin to loom, she posts her way deeper into the portal's void. An avalanche of images, details, and references accumulate to form a landscape that is post-sense, post-irony, post-everything. "Are we in hell?" the people of the portal ask themselves. "Are we all just going to keep doing this until we die?" Suddenly, two texts from her mother pierce the fray: "Something has gone wrong," and "How soon can you get here?" As real life and its stakes collide with the increasingly absurd antics of the portal, the woman confronts a world that seems to contain both an abundance of proof that there is goodness, empathy, and justice in the universe, and a deluge of evidence to the contrary. Fragmentary and omniscient, incisive and sincere, No One Is Talking About This is at once a love letter to the endless scroll and a profound, modern meditation on love, language, and human connection from a singular voice in American literature.

POND / CLAIRE-LOUISE BENNETT

Título : POND Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: CLAIRE-LOUISE BENNETT, Autor Editorial: NEW YORK : RIVERHEAD BOOKS Fecha de publicación: 2016 Número de páginas: 195 PP ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-399-57590-7 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: FICTION  CONTEMPORARY FICTION  DOMESTIC LIFE Resumen: Immediately upon its publication in Ireland, Claire-Louise Bennett’s debut began to attract attention well beyond the expectations of the tiny Irish press that published it. A deceptively slender volume, it captures with utterly mesmerizing virtuosity the interior reality of its unnamed protagonist, a young woman living a singular and mostly solitary existence on the outskirts of a small coastal village. Sidestepping the usual conventions of narrative, it focuses on the details of her daily experience—from the best way to eat porridge or bananas to an encounter with cows—rendered sometimes in story-length, story-like stretches of narrative, sometimes in fragments no longer than a page, but always suffused with the hypersaturated, almost synesthetic intensity of the physical world that we remember from childhood. The effect is of character refracted and ventriloquized by environment, catching as it bounces her longings, frustrations, and disappointments—the ending of an affair, or the ambivalent beginning with a new lover. As the narrator’s persona emerges in all its eccentricity, sometimes painfully and often hilariously, we cannot help but see mirrored there our own fraught desires and limitations, and our own fugitive desire, despite everything, to be known. Shimmering and unusual, Pond demands to be devoured in a single sitting that will linger long after the last page.

REAL LIFE / TAYLOR, BRANDON 

Título : REAL LIFE Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: TAYLOR, BRANDON, Autor Editorial: NEW YORK : RIVERHEAD BOOKS Fecha de publicación: 2020 ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-525-53888-2 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: FICTION  AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS  COLLEGE STORIES Resumen: Almost everything about Wallace is at odds with the Midwestern university town where he is working uneasily toward a biochem degree. An introverted young man from Alabama, black and queer, he has left behind his family without escaping the long shadows of his childhood. For reasons of self-preservation, Wallace has enforced a wary distance even within his own circle of friends—some dating each other, some dating women, some feigning straightness. But over the course of a late-summer weekend, a series of confrontations with colleagues, and an unexpected encounter with an ostensibly straight, white classmate, conspire to fracture his defenses while exposing long-hidden currents of hostility and desire within their community. Real Life is a novel of profound and lacerating power, a story that asks if it’s ever really possible to overcome our private wounds, and at what cost.
