The main character, Eastman was crass towards women. I could see why this may have been part of this reason his wife left him. He was not in love anymore. So, I almost put the book down. Yet, this was all before Eastman left. Which I wanted to see him in Saigon and in his element again as a writer. I do have to say that Eastman grew on me. I won't say that we have become best friends. While, Eastman may not have had the highest respect for women, he won me over with his love for his children. Everytime I would start to hate on him, he would do something to make one of his children happy and to show his love for them that I would forgive him. Than there is Anne Channing, reporter. She was a bit of a bulldog. Yet, I liked this about her. She made sure she could stand on her own two feet. The sparring that she and Eastman had was great. Eastman is Here is like a diamond..rough around the edges but worth it. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML:??Absorbing...Eastman is a riveting...presence who demands to be loved and remembered.? ??The Boston Globe An ambitious new novel set in the literary world of 1970s New York, following a washed-up writer in an errant quest to pick up the pieces of his life. One of Esquire's Best books of 2017 (So Far), The Millions?? Most Anticipated Books of the Second Half of 2017, and BuzzFeed??s Exciting New Books You Need To Read This Summer The year is 1973, and Alan Eastman, a public intellectual, accidental cultural critic, washed-up war journalist, husband, and philanderer; finds himself alone on the floor of his study in an existential crisis. His wife has taken their kids and left him to live with her mother in New Jersey, and his best work feels as though it is years behind him. In the depths of despair, he receives an unexpected and unwelcome phone call from his old rival dating back to his days on the Harvard literary journal, offering him the chance to go to Vietnam to write the definitive account of the end of America's longest war. Seeing his opportunity to regain his wife??s love and admiration while reclaiming his former literary glory, he sets out for Vietnam. But instead of the return to form as a pioneering war correspondent that he had hoped for, he finds himself in Saigon, grappling with the same problems he thought he'd left back in New York. Following his widely acclaimed debut, From the Memoirs of a Non-Enemy Combatant, Alex Gilvarry employs the same thoughtful, yet dark sense of humor in Eastman Was Here to capture one irredeemable man's search for meaning in the face of advancing age, fading love, and a rapidly-changing world. ??With his second book, Gilvarry establishes himself as a writer who defies expectation, convention and categorization. Eastman Was Here is a dark, riotously funny and audacious exploration of the sacred and the profane??and pretty much everything in between.? ??Téa Obreht, New York Times bestselling au Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
