En breves y alucinados capítulos de alto voltaje literario, Amor narra a la vez la verdad y la mentira, aquello que sucede y aquello que debería suceder. Combina el aliento lírico de un Cantar de los cantares con la inversión moral (la contemporaneidad) de Jean Genet, Thomas Bernhard o la serie Euphoria, y se hace inolvidable gracias a su protagonista, la turbadora Libby, descarnada y huidiza bajo la atención paralizadora del deseo masculino. bibliotecayamaguchi | Sep 19, 2022 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"An incendiary and stylish debut from a young literary provocateur Love is a fever dream of a novella about a young sex worker whose life blurs the boundaries between violence and intimacy, objectification and real love. Startlingly intimate and lyrically deft, Maayan Eitan's debut follows Libby as she goes about her work in a nameless Israeli city, riding in cars, seeing clients, meeting and befriending other sex workers and pimps. In prose as crystalline as it is unflinching, Eitan brings us into the mind of her fierce protagonist, as Libby spins a series of fictions to tell herself, and others, in order to negotiate her life under the gaze of men. After long nights of slipping in and out of the beds of strangers, in a shocking moment of violence, she seizes control of her narrative and then labors to construct a life that resembles normalcy. But as she pursues love, it continually eludes her. She discovers that her past nights in cheap hotel rooms eerily resemble the more conventional life she's trying to forge. A literary sensation in Israel, Maayan Eitan's incendiary debut set off a firestorm about the relationship between truth and fiction, and the experiences of women under the power of men. Compact and gemlike, this is a contemporary allegory of a young woman on the verge"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The first chapter is ridiculous, and I should have stopped reading there and DNF the book. Example: “You were blond. No; your hair was as black as a raven.” (4) The book opens, “You had a flat belly. No, you were fat.” (3) The entire book was like this. It made absolutely no sense. The authors that provided blurbs must have been paid handsomely for their praise. They could not have actually read this nonsense and still wrote that blurb.
Why isn’t there an option for zero stars? I wish I had the hour I spent reading it back. (
