Сто братьев Дональд Антрим
ISBN: 978-5-00214-033-6 Год издания: 2023 Издательство: Манн, Иванов и Фербер Язык: Русский Огромная полуразрушенная библиотека семейного особняка, из окон которой видны костры, разведенные бездомными в заброшенной долине. Хаос одной ночи, в котором братья пытаются найти урну с прахом отца, соперничают между собой, предаются гедонизму и философским разговорам. Но ближе к рассвету становится ясно, что у каждого из них есть зловещая цель, и главный герой Даг — в центре надвигающейся катастрофы. -
The Afterlife Дональд Антрим
ISBN: 0312426356 Год издания: 2007 Язык: Английский A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice
In the winter of 2000, shortly after his mother's death, Donald Antrim began writing about his family. In pieces that appeared in The New Yorker and were anthologized in Best American Essays, Antrim explored his intense and complicated relationships with his mother, Louanne, an artist, teacher, and ferociously destabilizing alcoholic; his gentle grandfather, who lived in the mountains of North Carolina and who always hoped to save his daughter from herself; and his father, who married his mother twice.
The Afterlife is an elliptical, sometimes tender, sometimes blackly hilarious portrait of a family--faulty, cracked, enraging--and of a man struggling to learn the nature of his origins. -
Assorted Fire Events: Stories Дональд Антрим, Дэвид Минс
ISBN: 0060855789 Год издания: 2006 Издательство: Faber & Faber Язык: Английский In his award-winning second collection, David Means explores the fragility of those things that we cherish most.

Elect Mr Robinson for a Better World Дональд Антрим
ISBN: 978-0670851393 Год издания: 1993 Издательство: Viking Adult Announcing a bold new American voice laced with pitch black humor and as taut as a victim on a rack, this spectacularly provocative debut novel is graceful, electric, a wickedly funny tale of a world made riotous by life's mysterious and sometimes violent accidents. A Harper'sserial. -
The Emerald Light in the Air Дональд Антрим
ISBN: 9780374280932 Год издания: 2014 Издательство: Straus and Giroux, Farrar Язык: Английский Nothing is simple for the men and women in Donald Antrim's stories. As they do the things we all do—bum a cigarette at a party, stroll with a girlfriend down Madison Avenue, take a kid to the zoo—they're confronted with their own uncooperative selves. These artists, writers, lawyers, teachers, and actors make fools of themselves, spiral out of control, have delusions of grandeur, despair, and find it hard to imagine a future. They talk, they listen, they hope, they dream. They look for communion in a city, both beautiful and menacing, which can promise so much and yield so little. But they are hungry for life. They want to love and be loved.
These stories, all published in The New Yorker over the last fifteen years, make it clear that Antrim is one of America's most important writers. His work has been praised by his significant contemporaries, including Jonathan Franzen, Thomas Pynchon, Jeffrey Eugenides, and George Saunders, who described The Verificationist as "one of the most pleasure-giving, funny, perverse, complicated, addictive novels of the last twenty years." And here is Antrim's best book yet: the story collection that reveals him as a master of the form.
