Interesting, very, very slow, although I have read that that is purposeful to reflect procrastination in writing. ( ) Incredible. I wish I could figure out how Levrero turns what in a lesser author's hands would just be a record of anxiety and navel-gazing into something entirely relevant, relatable, and funny to boot. In other words, something very human, and maybe because it's not at all insistent on drilling anything into the reader. Felt like Knausgaard, but in a much lighter mode. Loved every minute of this book. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
A writer attempts to complete the novel for which he has been awarded a big fat Guggenheim grant, though for a long time he succeeds mainly in procrastinating - getting an electrician to rewire his living room so he can reposition his computer, buying an armchair, or rather, two: 'In one, you can't possibly read: it's uncomfortable and your back ends up crooked and sore. In the other, you can't possibly relax: the hard backrest means you have to sit up straight and pay attention, which makes it ideal if you want to read.' Insomniacs, romantics and anyone who's ever written (or failed to write) will fall in love with this compelling masterpiece told by a true original, with all his infuriating faults, charming wit, and intriguing musings.
