School Days: A Novel di Jonathan Galassi
I'd read a positive review of this book, but I finished it only in the hope it would be better. Glad the author included a list of characters at the start because I couldn't keep track of ANY of them...the book was a one-note horn and I couldn't relate to the situations at all...
Hoewel bij momenten vermakelijk - als een soort Mad Men van de Amerikaanse uitgeverswereld in de jaren 70 - stelt Muse teleur. Het boek vermomt zich als een sleutelroman, maar de imaginaire dichteres Ida Perkins gonst daar als een suikerzoete natte droom boven uit. Had Galassi Perkins' poëzie ongeciteerd gelaten, dan had hij op meer krediet kunnen rekenen. Maar met elke versregel loopt zijn literaire luchtbel een beetje meer leeg. Ook los van Perkins' poëzie weet Galassi slechts hier en daar de aandacht vast te houden. Veelal is het een te nadrukkelijke opsomming van echte en versleutelde namen en verwantschappen, verzonnen literaire weetjes en prijzen, die - anders dan bij bvb Roberto Bolano - nooit overtuigen. In het beste geval googel je eenmaal de naam Ida Perkins, voor alle andere namen - echt, versleuteld of verzonnen - doe je de moeite niet meer.… (altro)
