I had to immerse myself in Williams' sentences and allow the narrative to emerge on its own. It does, by the way. This is definitely a novel I want to reread. A first pass doesn't do it justice. I love it when prose demands rigor and pays off with poignant themes, poetic insight, and more than a little transformation for both the characters and the reader. ( ) I took my time with this one.

Nominated for the National Book Award in 1974, this haunting, profoundly disquieting novel manages to be at once sparse and lush, to combine Biblical simplicity with Gothic intensity and strangeness. It is the story of Kate, despised by her mother, bound to her father by ties stronger and darker than blood. It is the story of her attempted escapesâ^'in detached sexual encounters, at a Southern college populated by spoiled and perverse beauties, and in a doomed marriage to a man who cannot understand what she is running from. Witty, erotic, searing acute, State of Grace bears the inimitable stamp of one of our fines and most provocative writers. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
