Pierre Jean Jouve, Lydia Davis

Recensioner i media

"The milieu evoked is Catholic, European, and pastoral, a striking setting for a sensual relationship. . . . The author takes as his primary theme the interrelatedness of love and death, viewed here with a decidedly Freudian slant that undoubtedly owes something to the influrence of his wife, a psychiatrist . . . Recommended." --Library Journal "I am convinced that Jouve's modernity--the extraordinary wit, speed, purposeful freedom and hard edge, bordering on cruelty, of his fiction--would appeal tremendously to readers and possibly set off important esthetic reverberations." --Louis Begley, New York Times Book Review "Turgid, atmospheric, frankly psychological, the novels breathe with . . . ardor. . . . Jouve was a writer who thought with his senses, who believed with the tools of his skepticism and whose work always lives best through the webs of shadow thrown by death." --Chicago Tribune
