I Hate to Leave This Beautiful Place Tapa blanda - 2014
de Howard Norman
A memoir of the haunting and redemptive events of the acclaimed writer’s life—the betrayal of a con-man father; a murder-suicide in his family’s house; the presence of an oystercatcher—each one, as the saying goes, stranger than fiction.
Resumen
Descripción de contraportada
The events of a single episode of Howard Norman s superb memoir are both on the edge of chaos and gathered superbly into coherent meaning . . . A wise, riskily written, beautiful book. Michael Ondaatje
Howard Norman s spellbinding memoir begins with a portrait, both harrowing and hilarious, of a Midwest boyhood summer working in a bookmobile, in the shadow of a grifter father and under the erotic tutelage of his brother s girlfriend. His life story continues in places as far-flung as the Arctic, where he spends part of a decade as a translator of Inuit tales including the story of a soapstone carver turned into a goose whose migration-time lament is I hate to leave this beautiful place and in his beloved Point Reyes, California, as a student of birds. Years later, in Washington, D.C., an act of deeply felt violence occurs in the form of a murder-suicide when Norman and his wife loan their home to a poet and her young son. In Norman s hands, life s arresting strangeness is made into a profound, creative, and redemptive story.
Uses the tight focus of geography to describe five unsettling periods of his life, each separated by time and subtle shifts in his narrative voice . . . The originality of his telling here is as surprising as ever. Washington Post
These stories almost seem like tall tales themselves, but Norman renders them with a journalistic attention to detail. Amidst these bizarre experiences, he finds solace through the places he s lived and their quirky inhabitants, human and avian. The New Yorker
