This fellow is a poet, originally from New Jersey, and it shows in his perspective on life. ( ) Actually I just started reading this yesterday in a bar in Seattle called Mitchelli's. I had walked from the Space Needle to Elliot Bay Bookstore and was feeling sad by the time I arrived at the bookstore because the city felt deserted. I missed NJ and NYC. Kleinzahler at the end of the day on a barstool with Lake Union visible between the crisscross concrete of the Alaska Way Viaduct?, the setting sun, perfect companions. Yeah, but I still interspersed calls to the Jersey folks. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Cutty, One Rock takes the reader on a wild journey by airplane, bus, ferry, and foot from childhood to early manhood in the company of a New Jersey family in equal measures cultivated and deranged. We witness scenes of passionate, even violent intensity that give rise to meditations on eros and literature, the solitariness of travel, and the poetics of place. These individual pieces, most of which first appeared inThe London Review of Booksand won an international cult following, are by turns "poignant, surreal, down home and lyrical, a mixture of qualities that inheres in his language with uncommon delicacy and effect" (Leonard Michaels). Together they make up an intellectual and emotional autobiography on the run. The book's final section, about Kleinzahler's adored, doomed older brother, is unforgettable, and since its appearance last year in theLRB, has already entered the literature as one of the most moving contemporary memoirs.
