Descrizione articolo
“A fat, ripe read... A final statement of Gass’s belief in the sound of literary language... rhythmic and sonic...”
—Brian Dillon, The Times Literary Supplement
“A realistic story... a religious allegory and a philosophical meditation... extraordinary.”
—David Thoreen, The Boston Globe
“Exhilarating... dazzling...”
—Mike Fischer, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“[Middle C] offers tactile pleasure... generous... comic...”
—Michael Gorra, The New York Review
“Of all living literary figures, William Gass may count as the most daringly scathing and most assertively fecund: in language, in ideas, in intricacy of form; above all in relentless fury... From its opening notes until its coda, this unquiet bildungsroman is designed to detonate its mild, middling title... Exhilaratingly ingenious... unexpected and dizzying...”
—Cynthia Ozick, The New York Times Book Review (cover)
“Middle C takes its place in that great line of modern novels about inauthenticity... However, there is nothing sham to William Gass’s art: It’s not just dazzling, it’s the real thing.”
—Michael Dirda, The Washington Post
“Gass orchestrates his fiction with thematic elements as a composer might a symphony.”
—Dan Lopez, Timeout New York
“Entertaining and enlightening... emotionally gouging as well as amusing... I rank the novel first among Gass’s six books of fiction.”
—Tom LeClair, The Barnes and Noble Review
“A masterly work of language and imagery from one of America’s most celebrated authors.”
—Joshua Finnell, Library Journal (starred)
“A mischievous variation on the moral dilemmas raised in Gass’ The Tunnel . . . In this exuberantly learned bildungsroman—this torrent of curious facts and arch commentary, puns and allusions—internationally lauded virtuoso Gass reflects on humanity’s crimes and marvels, creating his funniest and most life-embracing book yet.”
—Booklist (starred)
“Epic . . . crazily rich with thought . . . remarkably detailed . . . Gass beautifully coaxes the unheard music from a seemingly muted life . . . the unprecedented work of a master.”
—Publishers Weekly (boxed)
“Engaging, melancholy . . . Gass remains a master of apt metaphors, graceful sentences and a flinty, unforgiving brand of humor; it may be the most entertaining novel you’ll read that half wishes humanity was wiped off the map. . . . Gass, now 88, clearly has endings on his mind, which he addresses with fearsome brio and wit.”
—Kirkus
