Lamb: A Novel

Product Information

Like all narcissists, Dave objectifies the people he encounters. He describes his nominal girlfriend thus: A heart-stoppingly beautiful young woman. An expensive and well-educated system of reactions and responses, and he knew them all. Had known them, frankly, since years before she was born.” Yet, his affection for Tommie seems genuine. Is it? Or has he created a virginal ideal he can use to gain some feeling of power by conquering? His narcissism causes him to believe his own BS. He sells Tommie a fantasy, but even that pitch is off, beginning with natural beauty in a high, sage-filled valley, but mixing in oddities like a cooler full of Mexican beer and a braided rug on a concrete floor.

La prosa è basata soprattutto sui dialoghi e su descrizioni brevi, ma intense ed evocative; lo studio dei due personaggi principali è affascinante, profondo e accurato tanto da renderli indimenticabili. La materia è incandescente, così come la tensione emotiva che, come la neve che cade fuori dalla baita durante i giorni che Tommie e Lamb trascorreranno lì, si accumula pagina dopo pagina e incrocia quella dei protagonisti a quella del lettore.

LAMB", is peculiar. It's also gorgeously written. - I think it's fair to say this book is 'creepy'. In February 2019, Noomi Rapace and Hilmir Snær Guðnason had joined the cast of the film, with Valdimar Jóhannsson directing from a screenplay he wrote alongside Sjón. [10] Release [ edit ] In the book, the myth of the West is a stand in for David Lamb’s life. Lamb builds up in Tommie’s mind the West as an idyllic place of expanse, pristine wilderness, and autonomy, but instead we get barbwire, glassless windows, and “boots caked with mud and manure.” Like Lamb’s life, the West comes short of its expectations.

I could carry on like this for some time. The final thing to be said about this book is that it's wonderfully written. Lyrical, brisk and evocative, Nadzam's prose brings the environment and details of the story to life, to gorgeous effect.

David Lamb is a 50-something partner in a vaguely defined business whose main occupation appears to be the anticipation, practice and concealment of sex, with practice being the least important part. Leggere una specie di sua reinterpretazione da parte di un’esordiente poteva sembrare abbastanza rischioso. Moore writes with a kind of reverent irreverence—he’s got a keen eye for the absurd but leavens it with a child’s sense of wonder … [Lamb is] his best book so far.”
