Some critic once wrote that Crews writes like Flannery O'Conner on steroids. That's what this book reminded me of. I really like Crews' novels, but I love this one. The characters are outrageous, yes, but so oddly real. If you are looking to laugh and cry and think, read Crews. ( ) What in the world is this book supposed to be about? When is it supposed to take place? Hunter S Thompson’s worst drunk and drug infused ramblings are pure straight speaking English compared to this book. This book is definitely one of the worst I ever read. I should have known when it was compared to Faulkner another unreadable author but considered a writer of classic literature. I read A Feast Of Snakes By this author and loved it. This book was just a mess from the beginning. I've heard a lot about Harry Crews -- he sounds like something of a cult writer, not well known but passionately loved by his fans. This is the first book of his that I've read. I can see what the fuss is about, although this book didn't quite do it for me. I'm going to have to try another. There was a lot I loved about Scar Lover but it felt incomplete somehow. The story and the characters. We'll see if this is part of Harry Crews style or an idiosyncracy of this particular book. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Scar Lover is a miraculous, true-to-the-bone story of love and redemption, at once a classic southern novel and purely, unmistakably, Harry Crews.Running from a past that has scarred and blamed him, and a tragic accident that has destroyed his family, Pete Butcher avoids all personal contact. Then Sarah Leemer, the oddly beautiful girl next door, walks into his life. Slowly, sweetly, and with a determination almost Faulknerian in its ferocity, Sarah pulls Pete back into life and into the ever increasing complications of love, family, death, and deliverance. For Sarah has made Pete her own, and as she takes her claim, we see the miraculous power of love without boundaries or fear. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
