This novel is set in 1954 in a boys' camp in the Smoky Mountains, where Bridge Boatner is a counselor. There is an expectation of a tragedy from the onset, and Reynolds Price sets the stage for it in his signature courtly, elegant writing style. It begins slowly as Bridge's personality emerges and builds to a heartbreaking end. The story is told from Bridge's adult perspective, which adds an extra dimension. Reynolds Price is a treasured story teller. ( ) good novel @ counselor in boys camp in Blue Ridge for a summer - magical boy - Rafe Set in a summer camp in the Blue Ridge Mountains during the deceptively tranquil 1950s, The Tongues of Angels is a story of the twenty-one-year-old painting teacher, a superbly gifted boy, and their advance toward a startling fate. As the now-older man looks back at on that summer, he reflects on the meanings he thought he had learned on the threshold of manhood from the perspective of full maturity. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Two themes seem central to all Reynolds Price's work--the twin powers of memory and of artistry. In this new novel, a middle-aged painter recalls the events and people of the year he turned twenty-one--in particular a gifted young boy, "whose death I may have caused". His reminiscences of that long-ago time reveal the crucial forces that shaped him as an artist and as a man. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
