( ) Here is what I wrote in 2011 about this read: "Oh my, that was a challenge. 500 pages, three days, little sleep for pianist Mr. Ryder, and left with the impression on a dream. Three variations on the theme of a talented musican at different life stages. Variations on a theme of broken relationships and estrangement: between parents and children, between lovers. Most memorable scene: Ryder, Sophie, and Boris finally at home together to enjoy a meal, yet can barely communicate with each other; Mr. Ryder distains the food Sophie has prepared and yet at the end of the novel is enamored of the relation-less lovely breakfast banquet following the morning of the big performance(s). Hmmm, how long will the mind ponder this one??
The Unconsoled itself is beautifully controlled, even-paced, deadpan in spite of all extravagances. Its determined equanimity of tone makes you drowsy, and sometimes you wonder if you'd notice if you dropped off to sleep while you were reading. But there is finally something haunting, even alluring, about the proliferation of obstacles and stories in this book. Premi e riconoscimentiElenchi di rilievo
From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and author of the Booker Prize-winning novel The Remains of the Day, here is a novel that is at once a gripping psychological mystery, a wicked satire of the cult of art, and a poignant character study of a man whose public life has accelerated beyond his control. The setting is a nameless Central European city where Ryder, a renowned pianist, has come to give the most important performance of his life. Instead, he finds himself diverted on a series of cryptic and infuriating errands that nevertheless provide him with vital clues to his own past. In The Unconsoled Ishiguro creates a work that is itself a virtuoso performance, strange, haunting, and resonant with humanity and wit. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
