Riassunto

Found wandering in the desert outside of Las Vegas, Samson Greene, a thirty-six-year-old Columbia University English professor, is discovered to have a brain tumor, but when surgery removes the tumor, leaving him with no recollection of his life after the age of twelve, he finds himself struggling to deal with a life, and a wife, he no longer recognizes. A first novel.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

“Man Walks into a Room; Nicole Krauss, with this remarkably felt, sharp-witted debut novel, strides into the forecourt of American letters.”
–Susan Sontag

“Poignant and distinctive, forceful and prophetic, Nicole Krauss’s sentences are blazed into these pages like a revelation.”
–Ken Kalfus

“Man Walks into a Room is that rare thing: an evocative, finely written first novel that is a true work of fiction. In Samson Greene, Nicole Krauss has created a character whose loss of memory echoes the cultural amnesia, the loss of history that threatens to make our future more dangerous than our past.”
–A. M. Homes
