Carson's collection of 22 chapbooks is technically literary flotsam and jetsam, which I loved! I imagined each work sort of bobbing and smacking into each other in a way that creates a creative tension that isn't resolved after reading. Rather, I was left with a familiar feeling of awe (damn Anne!), skepticism (really Anne?), and gratitude (thanks for making lists beautiful Anne). This is a dissonant collection of poetry and short prose in Carson's light, side-stepping style. In the un-ordered, un-numbered booklets there is transcendence and horror and pain tripping off the pages. Read them in any order. Pick and choose. Chew thoughtfully on one and gulp down another. Lovely. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Distinctions
"Anne Carson consistently dazzles with her inventive, shape-shifting work and the vividness of her imagination. Float reaches an even greater level of brilliance and surprise. Presented in an arrestingly original format--individual chapbooks that can be read in any order, and that float inside a transparent case--this collection conjures a mix of voices, time periods, and structures to explore what makes people, memories, and stories "maddeningly attractive" when observed in spaces that are suggestively in-between. One can begin with Carson contemplating Proust on a frozen Icelandic plain, or on the art-saturated streets of downtown New York City. Or journey to the peak of Mount Olympus, where Zeus ponders his own afterlife. Or find a chorus of Gertrude Steins performing an essay about falling--a piece that also unearths poignant memories of Carson's own father and great-uncle in rural Canada. And a poem called "Wildly Constant" piercingly explores the highs and lows of marriage and monogamy, distilled in a wife's waking up her husband from the darkness of night, and asking him to make them eggs for breakfast."-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
