This was an interesting novel, in which not all the characters are real, but while it is clear something is 'off', it is not obvious till the end which characters are imaginary. In this story a woman imagines herself companions to make up for her otherwise lonely life, after her relationship with Gerard goes pear-shaped. I found it hard to really relate to Benna, the protagonist of this story, but I liked the concept of making up imaginary friends as an adult. I had to wonder how many people in real life do something similar. I think I prefer Moore's short stories still, so far, but this was a decent, fast-reading novel, and I would recommend it as such. I like that Moore's characters in this book are not just young people, so at least for parts of this book the characters were about my age and their issues were more similar to my own as a no-longer-YA reader. ( ) I love Lorrie Moore and her lonely but humorous style, but in the end, the format of this book didn't work for me. The idea of each story being an anagram of the other was very clever, but I wasn't sure why she chose the story she did to make up the bulk of the book. It didn't seem any more realistic or engaging than the others. It was just more depressing. Part of my reaction is my personal taste; I'm all for melancholic books, but after all of the humor in the story, I felt like the end was just too dismal. I really did not know what to expect from this novel, but I ended up finding it fascinating. Moore's wordplay is great, and when your main character is a poetry teacher, the wordplay easily fits into the story. The title is also a clue to this book. It's not a novel, it's not short stories. A life as an anagram might be the best way to describe it. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Son tiempos que "ponen de manifiesto, que dejan ver". Y de forma clara y contundente, analizadiversos procesos del mundo contemporáneo: los chalecos amarillos en Francia, la primavera árabe, la presidencia de Donald Trump, las dictaduras latinoamericanas de los años setenta, el ascenso al poder de Jair Bolsonaro.Vivimos tiempos que ponen de manifiesto que la alternativa "fascismo o revolución" es asimétrica y desigual. El fascismo, el racismo y el sexismo se inscriben de manera estructural en los mecanismos de acumulación del capital al tiempo que el ciclo de revoluciones mundiales quedó clausurado a fines del siglo pasado: el neoliberalismo se encargó de borrarlo del mapa y de la memoria.Vivimos tiempos de un creciente neofascismo â??la otra cara del neoliberalismoâ?? y las "guerras contra las poblaciones" son los mecanismos para lograrlo. Lazzarato, uno de los intelectuales más originales y agudos del presente, aporta herramientas para pensar cómo salir de este aparente destino, en diálogo y discutiendo con Rancière, Foucault, Marx, los feminismos, para elaborar estrategias que nos pe No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
