Articoli correlati a Twilight of the Superheroes
Deborah Eisenberg is almost unmatched in her mastery of the short story form. In this, her seventh collection, she demonstrates her virtuosic abilities in precisely distilled, unflinchingly honest studies of human connection and disconnection. From a group of friends whose luxurious Manhattan sublet becomes a front-row seat to the catastrophe of 9/11; to the Roman holiday of a schoolteacher running away from the news of her ex-husband's life-threatening illness; to the too painful love of a brother for his schizophrenic sister, Eisenberg evokes painful and tender truths, both poetic and deeply political. 'The stories are, in their masterly crosshatching of light and dark, concentrated bursts of perfection' The Times `Wonderful . . . written with a ruthless, compassionate eye and a subtle humour' Guardian `Further confirms her reputation as one of the most imaginative and exquisitely perceptive of today's short story writers' Scotland on Sunday 'She makes you smile as much as she haunts with stark truths . . . In the US, many people consider Eisenberg to be up there with Alice Munro, the female monarch of the short-story form. It's time the UK considered putting her up there too' Financial Times

Recensione:
The strange death of liberal America is Deborah Eisenberg s theme for this exquisitely flippant post-9/11 short story collection. This is Eisenberg s sixth volume and it confirms her status as queen of the alternative US short story like reading Alice Munro with a subtext by Ren and Stimpy. --Guardian
Eisenberg is not one to smooth pillows for her readers, either in content or in style. Her prose, however, is diamond-hard, leaving us no opportunity to coo over our own sensitivity. She switches from description to reflection in a manner wholly redolent of lived experience. And she is very, very funny. --Independent on Sunday, Review

From one of America's finest storytellers, 'the most successful work of fiction so far to marry a literary imagination to a liberal critique of what has happened to America since September 11’ Daily Telegraph
