Sinossi
Quando Cari si risveglia dal coma dopo essere stato aggredito su un treno della metropolitana, la vita intorno a lui sembra poco familiare, persino strana. Arriva a casa del suo migliore amico senza ricordare come abbia fatto; sembra che abbia una relazione con la sua segretaria, scoperta a suo modo piacevole ma alquanto sorprendente. Comincia a notare distorsioni nella sua percezione, in special modo rispetto al tempo. Si sta davvero relazionando col mondo esterno, si chiede, o potrebbe non essere così? Inizia così un oscuro dramma psicologico che solleva interrogativi sulla psiche umana, sul sogno rispetto alla realtà e sui confini della coscienza. Un viaggio che mette in discussione le nostre ipotesi sul modo in cui esistiamo nel mondo.

I remember reading The Coma when it first came out some 10 years-ish ago, flying through it in a day and dismissing it as “eh, dream story, got it”. I’m glad I came back and re-read it and thought about it more afterwards as there’s a lot more to it than that (and understanding what I read, rather t Leggi tutto
As modern writers go, this one has the career I covet & an incredible repertoire--he has been compared to Graham Greene. Well, this is the WRITER OF MY GENERATION (or Gen x, whatev), and therefore, it's Mr. Greene who should consider himself fortunate. (Forgive the hyperbole...) For a book that requi Leggi tutto
this book was the perfect length for one queens-manhattan/manhattan-queens subway ride on a sunday shopping spree. sibilant, no? im more taken with that fact than the actual content of the book. i enjoyed it, but marabou stork nightmares is way, way better.
Alex Garland is the author of The Beach , a real tour de force set on a remote island in Thailand. The Beach is an awesome debut novel, and one which I read in two sittings in two days - I could barely tear myself away from it, from beginning to end. Garland's second novel, The Tesseract , was very di Leggi tutto
This book has been sitting, unread, on my shelves since I bought it in 2004 from a Tesco's supermarket in Derby. But I'm glad I kept it alive, faintly, in my memory all this time. The story is quite lyrical and easy to follow and the 40 woodcuts Garland's father made to illustrate each scene add to
I sat down and read this all in one sitting this morning. Because of the situation (narrator in a coma, struggling to get out), it was pretty well impossible to get a good grip on who the narrator is/what is life is about... but in that it's easy to lose yourself to this novel & imagine yourself in t Leggi tutto
First of all this book is strange. Second I loved every moment of it. This book is about a man named Carl who takes a subway home and while on the tube gets attacked and is now in a coma. The whole book is Carl in his dreamlike coma state. Figuring out where he is and what is going on. He is trying t Leggi tutto
