The Parrot and the Igloo: Climate and the Science of Denial Tapa dura - 2023

de David Lipsky


Descripción de contraportada

Praise for Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself

"Lipsky's transcript of their brilliant conversations reads like a two-man Tom Stoppard play or a four-handed duet scored for typewriter."
-- Lev Grossman, Time

"Exhilarating...All that's left now are the words on the page, with the voices they conjure of two writers talking, talking, talking as they drive through the night."
-- Laura Miller, Salon

"Crushingly poignant...The rapport that Lipsky and Wallace built during the course of the road trip is both endearing and fascinating. At the end, it feels like you've listened to two good friends talk about life, about literature, about all of their mutual loves. While they were both young men in 1996, they seem wise beyond their years, yet still filled with a contagious, youthful enthusiasm...a startlingly sad yet deeply funny postscript to the career of one of the most interesting American writers of all time."
-- Michael Schaub, National Public Radio

"Totally fascinating...Pretty much ideal...One of the effects of Wallace's prose is to make you irrationally want to be his best friend, and Lipsky creates a simulacrum of that experience."
-- Sam Anderson, New York

"For readers unfamiliar with the sometimes intimidating Wallace oeuvre, Lipsky has provided a conversational entry point into the writer's thought process. It's odd to think that a book about Wallace could serve both the newbies and the hard-cores, but here it is...You get the feeling that Wallace himself might have given Lipsky an award for being a conversationalist...We have the pleasure of reading two sharp writers who can spar good-naturedly with one another."
-- Seth Colter Walls, Newsweek

"Lovely."
-- Sam Sacks, Wall Street Journal

"Part biography, part autobiography, and part meditation on what it means to be a man in modern-day America."
-- Rachel Syme, National Public Radio (Best Books of the Year)


Praise for Absolutely American

"Duty, Honor, Casual Sex: Plain American hedonism is powerful at West Point, David Lipsky found, but so are discipline and self-sacrifice...A superb description of modern military culture, and one of the most gripping accounts of university life I have read. This book must have been extremely hard to organize, and yet it reads with a novelistic flow. How teenagers get turned into leaders is not a simple story, but it is wonderfully told in this book."
-- David Brooks, New York Times Book Review (front cover)

"David Lipsky's up close and personal account of life at West Point is a national service. It takes the reader deep inside one of America's most important institutions."
-- Tom Brokaw

"Addictive...a story that could inspire even nonmilitary buffs to follow the cadets' careers like those of their favorite sports heroes."
-- Newsweek

"A fascinating, funny and tremendously well written account of life on the Long Gray Line. Take a good look: this is the face America turns to most of the world, and until now it's one that most of us have never seen."
-- Time (Best Books of the Year)

"Masculinity has traditionally been associated with the military. Absolutely American, which vividly traces West Point cadets through their four years at the Academy, deals with both sexes and tells a lot about the changing definitions and conditions of masculinity and femininity in the new century."
-- Elaine Showalter, Washington Post Book World

"Illuminating...Lipsky has done a distinguished service to a proud school."
-- Entertainment Weekly
