All three of these stories show off Hedaya's uncanny ability to describe true human feelings, no matter how sweet or nasty or evil they may be. There are no picture-perfect love-stories here - there are only human emotion rubbing up against reality. On top of that, she manages the most interesting story-angles; the dog in "Housebroken" mirroring the human relationship, the daughter's of "The Happiness Game" holding on to her reluctant lover as her parents decide to break up, and finally, the two women in "Matti," whose love for the main character merges them into, almost, one and the same. It's not always pretty or comforting, but it is always true. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
The men, women, and even animals in this collection live at the mercy of their hearts. Young and old, on two legs or four, they grope for love and tenderness, knowing that all connection is fraught with danger and all relationship random and evanescent. Yet the heart wants what it wants. The title novella, a wrenching account of the end of love, traces a gentle dog's transformation into a vicious beast as the couple who owns him breaks apart. InThe Happiness Game the tenuous bonds between husband and wife are undermined by black crows and weak hearts, whileMattipresents a chorus of voices--doctors, nurses, jilted wife, dying husband--that recounts an old man's passion for his lover, a fifteen-year-old Lolita. Wise and deft,Housebroken navigates the moments of decision, betrayal, longing, and jealousy that torment the souls of wounded lovers. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
