Young Man Hogan's journey begins in the dazzling streets of a nameless necropolis, and leads across fleeting landscapes - deserts, seas, mountains, islands, cities and great plains - to countless entertainments and adventures in four continents. It is an exploration and a celebration, glittering and exuberant, of the writer's art and of life itself. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

It follows Young Man Hogan across four different continents and it is a rambling of random thoughts portrayed in some of the most beautiful language written. It's more poetry and prose, with no beginning and no end, and no storyline. It's 300+ pages of randomness.
That said, it was beautifully written. Le Clezio won the Nobel Prize in literature this year and it's not hard to see why. Though of all the Nobel Prize winning authors I've read so far (I'm up to around 15 I think), he was by far among the more original and among the least accessible.
Definitely worth picking up, but if you get frustrated or turned off, don't blame me. :) (
