Inscrivez-vous à LibraryThing pour découvrir si vous aimerez ce livre Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. Lots of characters: dead, imaginary, alive... author IN the book but not narrating (that's done by the ghost)... definitly a response to Nabokov, Lolita in particular, a little Gabriel Garcia Marquez maybe... Lots of reference to Harington's other Stay More adventures. So you see, it requires faith. Not for the faint of heart that want, like, a linear narrative. It has the wonderful ambition, originality, humor, style and incredible skill characteristic of all Harington's work... just pushed a little farther over that WTF? line. (see also: Some Other Place) Fabulous. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Ekaterina has just arrived in an unnamed city at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela with a pasteboard suitcase, a kerchief that covers her lack of hair, and little more than a rudimentary knowledge of English, the language in which she will eventually write her other phenomenal bestsellers. At every turn, Ekaterina's rise to fortune is rattled by her consuming appetite for pubescent boys. Her novels earn her wealth enough to take over the top floor of an aging resort hotel in the Bodarks, as her idol, Nabokov, had taken over a suite in a Swiss resort hotel after the success of Lolita. Ekaterina is a masterwork of illusion and allusion, and like all of Donald Harington's novels it affords delight from beginning to end. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Instead, because Harington is such a grand storyteller, all I can confidently state is wow, what a ride! This is a giant cat, sprawled out across the mountains he loved, bonelessly luxuriating in imaginative light that shone from amazing creativity, stretching out a paw with claws extended to draw blood, releasing a thrumming purr to soothe the sting away, intriguing, joyous, should be read by all.
