James Nolan Knihy
James Nolan se zaměřuje na téma lidské zkušenosti a hledání smyslu v neustále se měnícím světě. Jeho povídky a poezie zkoumají složité vztahy mezi lidmi a prostředím, které je obklopuje, a často se dotýkají hlubších filozofických otázek. Nolanův styl je známý svou pečlivou pozorností k detailu a evokativními popisy, které čtenáře vtahují do jeho světů. Jeho práce oceňovaná kritikou nabízí jedinečný pohled na moderní život a lidskou psychiku.
This collection of short stories, which was awarded the 2007 Jefferson Press prize for Best New Voice in Fiction, explores the milieu of what post-Katrina New Orleans residents have come to call the isle of denial--a resilient and intact sliver of civilization surrounded by a sea of devastation. Evoking the comic grotesque legacy of Flannery O'Connor and John Kennedy Toole, these pieces inhabit a variety of piquant souls, including a Creole spinster, a transvestite plumber, a gambler who makes prosthetic eyes, a food critic who winds up with a mouthful of his best friend's ashes, and a grief-stricken young woman who sneaks a clock radio into her boyfriend's casket. They share a common trait of perverse denial in the face of historic or private defeat. Each story provides a window into aspects of the city and its' captivating neighborhoods while tendering startling revelations on elemental themes of death, sex, and restoration.
