Sinossi
Avete mai amato un libro più di ogni altra cosa? Thomas Abbey, insegnante di letteratura e figlio di una stella del cinema, non sa bene chi sia e cosa voglia dalla vita o dalla sua relazione con l'eccentrica Saxony Gardner. Quello che sa perfettamente è che niente lo ha mai toccato a fondo quanto i magici libri di Marshall France, un autore di straordinarie fiabe per bambini che ha sempre vissuto isolato e che è morto ad appena quarantaquattro anni. Spinti da questa passione comune Thomas e Saxony partono per Galen, la cittadina dove Marshall ha trascorso gran parte della sua vita, decisi a scrivere la sua biografia. A poco a poco, però, cominceranno a scoprire che qualcosa di strano e inquietante sta accadendo nel piccolo paesino e che la magia di France va ben oltre la pagina scritta... lasciandoli con un compito terrificante da intraprendere.

Morbid and unsettling, even though extremely ingenious. Obsessions, talking dogs, infidelity, diaries of doom, freedom vs fate, writers of destiny, ... what the fig? Q: Why couldn’t a woman be marvelous for once? Not winky, not liberated, not vacuous … (c) Q: Don’t they scare you?” “No more than you do, Leggi tutto
Jonathan Carroll is a writer whose name I have been hearing over the years, but whose fiction I've never tried. An American living in Vienna for many years, he has developed a quiet but steadfast cult following - much like the city itself, with its with its unlimited supply of quiet coffee houses -
I was recommended this book by a good friend and I will forever be grateful to her for that because I couldn’t have loved this book more. In fact, I’m ready to dive head first into the world of Carroll’s writing! This book is just pure perfection, it has everything you could want as a reader; stunni Leggi tutto
