Sinossi
Il diner più famoso d'America, con la sua vetrata piena di luce contro il buio della notte. Una sigaretta fumata di fronte a una finestra aperta, lasciando che il sole penetri nelle ossa. Una coppia separata da una noia invincibile. Un cinema mezzo vuoto dove una donna aspetta l'uomo che ama. Edward Hopper immortalava frammenti di vita invitando chi guarda a immaginare il resto. Gli autori di questa antologia hanno dato loro respiro e ne è uscita una raccolta di testi - noir ma non solo - pieni di grazia e realismo, in cui a prendere corpo sono i personaggi dei dipinti. In tutti, come nei quadri che li ispirano, la scena americana svela il suo volto magico e oscuro, la sua struggente verità.

Don’t you hate it when you’re hoping for great and get merely pretty good instead? I was really excited about this going in. Lawrence Block edited a collection of short stories in which each one was based on an Edward Hopper painting, and the writers include some of my favorites like Stephen King, Me Leggi tutto
5★ Superb! Oh, how intriguing! If you’ve ever seen any Edward Hopper paintings, you’ll understand how evocative they are – of time, place, situation – a peek at somebody’s private moment where you’re longing to eavesdrop. It's impossible not to wonder about them. Block puts it this way: “Hopper was Leggi tutto
Short stories hold a power that longer works of fiction do not have the advantage of: they can pack a hard punch that'll knock your socks off in mere minutes, spilling uplifting joy, heart-wrenching pain or newly provoked thought from readers all in one fell swoop. This, of course, is because they a Leggi tutto
Edward Hopper, who’s he? That was my initial reaction on opening up this anthology. But I’d loved the idea of a collection of short stories written by established writers, gathered together by one of my favourite scribes, Lawrence Block. I was soon to find out that Hopper’s paintings have quality th Leggi tutto
First off I really liked the idea this book is based on. To whit: a bunch of writers were given a picture painted by Edward Hopper and based a short story around it. Now Hopper is one of my favorite American artists and has some gorgeous paintings: The famous Nighthawks : Room in New York City Rooms by Leggi tutto
Този сборник се оказа поредното голямо разочарование... Хубава идея, но кофти изпълнение. Харесаха ми общо три разказа от осемнайсет, което си е доста маргинално постижение, както и да го погледнеш. За мен си струват "Прожекционистът" от Джо Р. Лансдейл, "Инцидентът от 10 ноември" от Джефри Дивър и дон Leggi tutto
Първо ще си направя труда да напиша съдържанието на сборника, защото не го откривам никъде по книжните сайтове, а смятам, че е важно за бъдещия читател - все пак ще се бръкне с почти двайсетак (18.99) за, без съмнение, хубаво оформеното томче. 1.
