Ebullient and perverse, thrice married, Barney Panofsky has always clung to two cherished beliefs: life is absurd and nobody truly ever understands anybody else. But when his sworn enemy publicly states that Barney is a wife abuser, an intellectual fraud and probably a murderer, he is driven to write his own memoirs. Charged with comic energy and a wicked disregard for any pieties whatsoever, Barney's Version is a brilliant portrait of a man whom Mordecai Richler has made uniquely memorable for all time. It is also an unforgettable love story, a story about family and the riches of friendship.

Recensione:
"A feast of nonstop storytelling, and arguably Richler's funniest book yet."—Maclean's favourite books of 1997

"[A] triumph ... at once hilarious, poignant, satiric and elegiac.... Barney's 30-year marriage to Miriam, their mutual love, and the two sons and one daughter they produce ... are the novel's heart and soul... Barney's Version has an embarrassment of riches ... woven here into a wantonly generous, seamless whole." —The Globe and Mail

"I couldn't put it down.... There is no other writer among us at the moment who can so deftly deploy pure dialogue to create such rich atmosphere of period and place.... In Barney's Version, the women are his finest achievement. This is wholly a wonderful novel.... By turns gripping, hilarious, ridiculous and even poignant." —The Montreal Gazette

"A rollicking novel laden with rue, a self- portrait of a creative personality who never found a creative outlet he could respect, a paean to the pleasures and perils of drink, a celebration of ice hockey and tap dancing, a lament for a multicultural Montreal now torn and depressed by Quebeçois separatism and a murder mystery with an uproarious solution." —New Yorker
From the Trade Paperback edition.

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 1st Edition. New, May Have Minor Shelf Wear To Dust Jacket. - For More Information On Condition. Please See All Photos. Barney Panofsky Smokes Too Many Cigars, Drinks Too Much Whiskey, And Is Obsessed With Two Things: The Montreal Canadiens Hockey Team And His Ex-Wife Miriam. An Acquaintance From His Youthful Years In Paris, Terry Mciver, Is About To Publish His Autobiography. In Its Pages He Accuses Barney Of An Assortment Of Sins, Including Murder. It's Time, Barney Decides, To Present The World With His Own Version Of Events. Barney's Version Is His Memoir, A Rambling, Digressive Rant, Full Of Revisions And Factual Errors (Corrected In Footnotes Written By His Son) And Enough Insults For Everyone, Particularly Vegetarians And Quebec Separatists. But Barney Does Get Around To Telling His Life Story, A Desperately Funny But Sad Series Of Bungled Relationships. His First Wife, An Artist And Poet, Commits Suicide And Becomes--À La Sylvia Plath--A Feminist Icon, And Barney Is Widely Reviled For Goading Her Toward Death, If Not Actually Murdering Her. He Marries The Second Mrs. Panofsky, Whom He Calls A "Jewish-Canadian Princess," As An Antidote To The First; It Turns Out To Be A Horrible Mistake. The Third, "Miriam, My Heart's Desire," Is Quite Possibly His Soul Mate, But Barney Botches This One, Too. It's Painful To Watch Him Ruin Everything, And Even More Painful To Bear Witness To His Deteriorating Memory. The Mystery At The Heart Of Barney's Story--Did He Or Did He Not Kill His Friend Boogie?--Provides Enough Forward Momentum To Propel The Reader Through Endless Digressions, All Three Wives, And Every One Of Barney's Nearly Heartbreaking Episodes Of Forgetfulness. Barney's Version, Winner Of Canada's 1997 Giller Prize, Is Richler's 10Th Novel, And A Dense, Energetic, And Ultimately Poignant Read. --R. Ellis. Codice articolo 005265
