Описание: My sister called it 'the year of secrets,' but when I look back on it now, I've come to understand that it was a time not of what was there, but of what wasn't. 'It is a rare writer who can both rouse the mind and grip the heart, and all the while provide the sensuous delights of image and language!a compelling narrative in which the past haunts the present of characters so vividly real they become members of your intimate circle and erupt in your dreams! almost impossible to put down, and even harder not to re-read' Lisa Appignanesi, Independent 'Wonderful' Vik Groskop, Observer 'Subtle and complex' Tom Deveson, Sunday Times 'Beautifully thought through, deeply serious and enormously intelligent' Jane Smiley, Guardian

Описание:

The protagonist of Siri Hustvedt's astonishing second novel The Enchantment of Lily Dahl is a heroine of the old style: tough, beautiful, and brave. Standing at the threshold of adulthood, she enters a new world of erotic adventure, profound but unexpected friendship, and inexplicable, frightening acts of madness. Lily's story is also the story of a small town--Webster, Minnesota--where people are brought together by a powerful sense of place, both geographical and spiritual. Here gossip, secrets, and storytelling are as essential to the bond among its people as the borders that enclose the town.

The real secret at the heart of the book is the one that lies between reality and appearances, between waking life and dreams, at the place where imagination draws on its transforming powers in the face of death.

Описание: This book analyzes Siri Hustvedt’s three novels The Blindfold, What I Loved and The Sorrows of an American with a focus on visual art. Siri Hustvedt is one of the most popular American writers today and her work is predominantly concerned with art historical and psychological themes. The author of this book investigates the function of paintings and photographs in Hustvedt’s novels and conceives of verbal representations of artworks as extended metaphors. Her analysis includes verbal descriptions of Giorgione’s The Tempest, Chardin’s Glass of Water and a Coffee Pot and Goya’s Black Paintings as well as various verbal forms of fictitious paintings and photographs. Based on this analysis the author shows how the American novel has moved from postmodernism to post-postmodernism.

Описание: From the author of The Blazing World, "a work of dizzying intensity...eloquent and vivid" (Don DeLillo), about a young Midwestern woman who finds herself entangled in intense circumstances--physical, cerebral, and existential--when she moves to New York City.

Iris Vegan, a young, impoverished graduate student from the Midwest, finds herself entangled with four powerful but threatening characters as she tries to adjust to life in New York City. Mr. Morning, an inscrutable urban recluse, employs Iris to tape-record verbal descriptions of objects that belonged to a murder victim. George, a photographer, takes an eerie portrait of Iris, which then acquires a strong life of its own, appearing and disappearing without warning around the city. After a series of blinding migraines, Iris ends up in a hospital room with Mrs. O., a woman who has lost her mind and memory to a stroke, but who nevertheless retains both the strength and energy to torment her fellow patient. And finally, there is Professor Rose, Iris's teacher and eventually her lover. While working with him on the translation of a German novella called The Brutal Boy, she discovers in its protagonist, Klaus, a vehicle for her own transformation and ventures out into the city again--this time dressed as a man.

Hailed by The Washington Post as Siri Hustvedts best novel yet, an electrifying work, The Blazing World is a masterful novel about perception, prejudice, desire, and one womans struggle to be seen.

In a new novel called searingly fresh... A Nabokovian cats cradle on the cover of The New York Times Book Review, the internationally bestselling author tells the provocative story of artist Harriet Burden, who, after years of having her work ignored, ignites an explosive scandal in New Yorks art world when she recruits three young men to present her creations as their own.

Yet when the shows succeed and Burden steps forward for her triumphant reveal, she is betrayed by the third man, Rune. Many critics side with him, and Burden and Rune find themselves in a charged and dangerous game, one that ends in his bizarre death.

An intricately conceived, diabolical puzzle presented as a collection of texts, including Harriets journals, assembled after her death, this glorious mashup of storytelling and scholarship (San Francisco Chronicle) unfolds from multiple perspectives as Harriets critics, fans, family, and others offer their own conflicting opinions of where the truth lies. Writing in Slate, Katie Roiphe declared it a spectacularly good read...feminism in the tradition of Simone de Beauvoirs The Second Sex or Virginia Woolfs A Room of Ones Own: richly complex, densely psychological, dazzlingly nuanced.

Astonishing, harrowing, and utterly, completely engrossing (NPR), Hustvedts new novel is Blazing indeed:...with agonizing compassion for all of wounded humanity(Kirkus Reviews, starred review).

It is a masterpiece that will be remembered for years to come.
