PrijzenOnderscheidingen
The ten stories in this debut collection examine the perils of love and what it means to live during an era when people will offer themselves, almost unthinkingly, to strangers. Risks and repercussions are never fully weighed. People leap and almost always land on rocky ground. May-December romances flourish in these stories, as do self-doubt and, in most cases, serious regret. Mysterious, dangerous benefactors, dead and living artists, movie stars and college professors, plagiarists, and distinguished foreign novelists are among the many different characters. No one is blameless, but villains are difficult to single out-everyone seemingly bears responsibility for his or her desires and for the outcome of difficult choices so often made hopefully and naively.

Spare and bleak, but filled with intelligence and agency. I found these characters difficult, to understand, to like or to empathize with. But I think that's a good thing, and I rather suspect the author of being incisively brilliant.

Gift, on its way to me sometime this month. Looks interesting. ( )
