I admit to giving up on this one after 50 pages without the remotest semblance of narrative momentum. Devote a whole book to a moment, fine with me. I certainly am interested in McElroy's works and was intrigued by the premise of this. But bring me somewhere with you. Hold my interest, dammit! I thoroughly enjoyed A Smuggler's Bible and will someday come back to Actress in the House, possibly when in a less foul mood, one more amenable to the density of McElroy's descriptors. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Prestigeträchtige Auswahlen
In the middle of an otherwise nondescript play in a "twelve-dollar-a-seat" downtown warehouse theater, an actress is staggered by a violent slap in the face from her co-star. As she gazes into the audience with a bloody nose, immediately a connection is formed with a middle-aged man, drawn in by this unmistakably over-the-line violence, seated in the eighth row. Almost against his will, with disconcerting speed and a hypnotic power that unearths buried memories from their haunted pasts, her life will invade his own. With its nuanced and compelling story of love and discovery, a plot as intricate and absorbing as a thriller, and continually startling literary innovations and lucid, omnidirectional prose, Actress in the House is a haunting and resonant reading experience from one of the most acclaimed voices in contemporary fiction.
