Irwin Shaw has loomed large in my consciousness, mainly for films I have seen based on his novels and plays. This is the first collection of his prose I have read, and it is really a wonderful introduction to reading him. These pieces are referred to as short novels, but even the longest feels more like a short story than a novel. Each is written in a cool, detached, and understated fashion, yet each leaves an indelible sense of the inner humanity of its characters. He has a wonderful imagination, and several of the pieces seem so fresh and innovative as story ideas I am surprised not to have heard more about them before discovering this book. There is an underlying seriousness beneath even the most lighthearted of the stories, and every one left me thinking and mulling over these cameo images of lives, mostly isolated in their thoughts, characters who resonate with me despite having, on the surface, very little in common with me. An excellent reading experience. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
