Omschrijving
AM Homes' most infamous novel about the manifestations of forbidden desire and its terrible consequences.
A.M. Homes never plays it safe and it begins to look as if she can do almost anything
If the first major literary marker of the American dream of aspiration, potential and never-ending youth was F. Scott Fitzgerald's lyrical piece of doomed yearning, The Great Gatsby, its postmodern flipside [is] Homes's The End of Alice, whose paired literary voices made a grotesque harmony of two yearners after the dream of youth
Homes instructs us about ourselves and shows us what we are blighted with, and cringe from, our compulsions, repressions, longings, glimpses of madness
With all the cunning and control of a brilliant lover, she takes us places we dare not go alone
Not all readers will want to see Homes's vision, but those who do will find themselves unmistakably in the presence of the Other
Undeniably shocking... Superbly achieved by a writer who is a true artist in words
Chillingly precise and almost beautiful
I recently read [The End of Alice] and thought it was incredible.
A. M. Homes is the author of the novels, May We Be Forgiven, This Book Will Save Your Life, Music for Torching, The End of Alice, In a Country of Mothers and Jack, and three collections of short stories, Days of Awe, Things You Should Know and The Safety of Objects and the highly acclaimed memoir, The Mistress's Daughter, as well as the travel memoir, Los Angeles: People, Places and the Castle on the Hill. She is a contributing editor to Vanity Fair and writes frequently on arts and culture for numerous magazines and newspapers. She lives in New York City.
