Sinossi
Tre personaggi: un io narrante alla continua ricerca di una fantomatica ragazza albina e un antagonista, ora marito, ora carceriere. La vicenda si svolge attraverso continui disallineamenti spazio-temporali, in un romanzo inclassificabile, attraversato da un continuo passaggio dallo stato di sogno a quello di veglia, accerchiato dall'avanzata di un ghiaccio che è reale, forse dovuto a un disastro nucleare, ma che insieme simbolizza l'avanzata dell'inevitabile, la droga che prende terreno, l'abitudine a una fine che si fa ogni giorno più ineluttabile. L'autorità e il potere maschile vengono annotati attraverso un linguaggio che si sdoppia: mentre il cacciatore modella la sua preda, Kavan, scrittrice consapevole, modella il cacciatore, scolpendo lui e lei nel ghiaccio. Prefazione di Claudia Durastanti.

“As her fate, she accepted the world of ice, shining, shimmering, dead; she resigned herself to the triumph of glaciers and the death of the world.” Her hair was a blizzard, a shimmering cascade of pale luminous moonlight. She was fragile as if made of glass and crystal, built like a waif with p Leggi tutto
If I lived forever, I would read this book 200 times, each time more slowly, bathing in every sentence and unearthing all the glorious subtext which must lie beneath its icebergs. As it is, with so many books and so little time, I still feel compelled to immediately dive back in. Ice is the only easy Leggi tutto
What does the future of the world hold for us little humans? Let us take a look. The weapons of the atom deployed. The nations of men in battle. Borders and boundaries blurred, broken, crossed, lines drawn as if in the sand and just as easily erased. The small towns and villages suffer first, as
Riveting, breathless, nightmarish prose, a stream of word-horror so intense it's hard to fathom, equally hard to look away from. The plot: a globetrotting rescue before ice-extinction sets in. Or is it a chase? Therein lies the rub: everything has a double-face, an ambiguity rooted in subjectivity a Leggi tutto
