The main character is a woman whose life is a constant search for love and kicks and a sense of purpose, none of which are likely to come easy. An anti-heroine in every sense of the world, Peyton’s world is shown through both present day and flashback, and it’s not a pretty sight. I stuck with this out of loyalty to Janowicz (her excellent Slaves Of New York and Cannibal In Manhattan were great) but whilst appreciating the nihilism, I felt this book really had nowhere to go. Which it did. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

First comes love, then comes marriage... then what? Whatever happened to happy ever after? At twenty, when she could have pulled a film star, Peyton Amberg had no sex drive at all. Then she - and her mother - had wanted love and commitment so she married the 'nebbishy Jewish dentist' who thought she was a goddess but left her cold. Now she is on a world tour of past loves and lusty last stands which are getting to feel painfully insalubrious. As the young man she pursues in Antwerp says- 'You must be as old as my mother... Lady, you must be fifty.' Tama Janowitz manages to be both intoxicatingly funny and sobering in this unforgettable black comedy of modern marriage. From Hong Kong to Rio, via Milan and an English country house, Peyton Amberg has pursued her flings. And now what she wants to know is, when had women taken over the man's role and why was the whole set-up so goddamn humiliating? Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
