Su questo libro

Recensione:

“A moving, deeply intelligent look at intellectual loyalties-to ideology, religion, family-and the humans attached to them. This is a wonderful novel.” (Joseph O'Neill, author of Netherland)

“A beautiful, oftentimes hilarious, razor-precise portrait of a family, a city, and an examination of the eternal and universal urge to embrace something, anything, greater than ourselves.” (Richard Price, author of Lush Life)

“Tough, wise and funny. . . . A sustaining, intelligent novel about how the big questions affect and change all our small lives.” (Anne Enright, author of The Gathering)

“Profoundly satisfying. . . . Heller injects that difficult-to-pinpoint something-or-other that elevates soap opera to art. . . . The Believers pulses with . . . something deep and lasting and larger than mere story.” (Lionel Shriver, author of The Post-Birthday World)

L'autore:

Zoë Heller is the author of Everything You Know and What Was She Thinking? Notes on a Scandal, which was short-listed for the Man Booker Prize and made into an acclaimed film starring Cate Blanchett and Judi Dench. Heller lives in New York.
