Heute Nachmittag habe ich die Vampir-Schmonzette ausgelesen, die mir aber sehr, sehr gut gefallen hat. Es war ein witziges und leicht zu lesenden Buch und ich habe die ersten acht Bände (in einer Box) im Auge. Zum Reinlesen und Kennenlernen der Welt um Sookie Stackhouse war das Buch sehr gut und nun möchte ich natürlich die anderen Bände lesen, allerdings dann auf englisch. Ausserdem gibt es auch eine Art "Begleitbuch" zu der Serie, die ich nach unserem Malta-Urlaub ebenfalls bestellen werde. Die Box ist bei Amazon übrigens um fast 15 Euro billiger als bei Thalia!
Heute Abend zum Wein beginne ich dann allerdings mit etwas völlig Anderem, nämlich mit einer Biographie (oder einem Teil seines Lebens) meines Lieblingsautoren Philip Roth.
Mein Neues:
Philip ROTH
The Facts
The Facts
A Novelist's Autobiography
Product Description: The Facts is the unconventional autobiography of a writer who has reshaped our idea of fiction—a work of compelling candor and inventiveness, instructive particularly in its revelation of the interplay between life and art.
Philip Roth concentrates on five episodes from his life: his secure city childhood in the thirties and forties; his education in American life at a conventional college; his passionate entanglement, as an ambitious young man, with the angriest person he ever met (the "girl of my dreams" Roth calls her); his clash, as a fledgling writer, with a Jewish establishment outraged by Goodbye, Columbus; and his discovery, in the excesses of the sixties, of an unmined side to his talent that led him to write Portnoy's Complaint.
The book concludes surprisingly—in true Rothian fashion—with a sustained assault by the novelist against his proficiencies as an autobiographer.
