Chargement... The Very Manpar Charles Boyle
Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. Aucune critique aucune critique | ajouter une critique
As a street beggar (Tamerlaine?) in the opening poem warns, a life is no simple narrative with a beginning, middle and end. The Very Man, Charles Boyle's fourth Carcanet collection, is rich in unexpected digressions and conjunctions: Yuri Gagarin and a star of the silent screen, American films and the Eastern Bloc revolutions, D.H. Lawrence and deep-frozen fish, religion and a self-assembly bookshelves kit, Masai initiation rites and suburban adultery, 1812 and office afternoons. Here too are Stendhal in a Paris heat-wave, Muybridge murdering his wife's lover and other portrait sketches that, for all their clarity and cunning, often refuse to distinguish between real and invented lives.
