The Common Man weaves through a familiar landscape of hollers and rickity porches, accompanied by a range of voices, familiar components in Manning's work. I can't say there's much in this collection that is on the same register as his newest, One Man's Dark, but there are some profound moments of insight into the mythologies that make a place and the particular theological quandaries that are indeed common, but also profound. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The Common Man, Maurice Manning's fourth collection, is a series of ballad-like narratives, set down in loose, unrhymed iambic tetrameter, that honors the strange beauty of the Kentucky mountain country he knew as a child, as well as the idiosyncratic adventures and personalities of the oldtimers who were his neighbors, friends, and family. Playing off the book's title, Manning demonstrates that no one is common or simple. Instead, he creates a detailed, complex, and poignant portrait--by turns serious and hilarious, philosophical and speculative, but ultimately tragic--of a fast-disappearing aspect of American culture. The Common Man's accessibility and its enthusiastic and sincere charms make it the perfect antidote to the glib ironies that characterize much contemporary American verse. It will also help to strengthen Manning's reputation as one of his generation's most important and original voices. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
